the artist states imposes sanctions on iran supremely in the wake of the drawing shooting we look at how washington stance on the country seems to be pulling in different directions. to topple ministrations middle east peace plan is rejected by palestine critics accusing washington of trying to bribe arabs into making political concessions to israel. and the parents of critically ill palestinian infants taken from gaza to better equipped hospitals in israel are being denied access to their children exit permits much harder to obtain for adults.
6:01 pm
who weren't quite sure this is r.t. international great to have you with us. iran's foreign minister zarif has tweeted that america despises diplomacy and wants war that's up to washington introduced major new sanctions on tehran including against the country supremely. escalation comes a response to iran's downing of a u.s. military surveillance drone which the islamic republic claims violated its airspace . today's action follows a series of aggressive behaviors by the iranian regime in recent weeks including shooting down busy of u.s. roads the drovers yes everyone saw that one. many other things and many other things aside from the individual drone use of the tankers and we know of other things that were done also which were not good and not appropriate if you don't succeed at 1st try try again washington is assuring us all that these new sanctions will be highly effective just like the ones you know all that came before
6:02 pm
the sanctions have been very effective in cutting all phones go into the or in other people and you know can only presume i'm not going to presume why they're doing things but these are highly highly effective on locking up the iranian economy and these sanctions have been indeed highly effective at making iranian officials crack jokes at american foreign policy their foreign ministry spokesperson poked fun at the whole idea saying that there was nothing left in iran for the u.s. to sanction anymore but the effectiveness of these new sanctions isn't the only thing washington might be a bit confused about one minute the u.s. is out for punishment and the next it's not sure if the people there sanctioning are the ones to blame at all and this was really clear in some of the vice president mike pence his latest statements let's take a listen to a couple of them we expect the president to announce an additional round of sanctions in response to iran's downing of an american unmanned vehicle the
6:03 pm
president also had doubts as to whether or not the downing of our unmanned aircraft was actually authorized at the highest levels now sanctions certainly are a far cry from the air strike that apparently stopped just moments before execution a strike which washington estimated may have killed around 150 iranian civilians if it were carried out let's not forget but some like senator bernie sanders think that trump shouldn't get the. it for that 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 the putting it out he helped create the crisis the do stop the attacks and there's a little confusion it seems about why the punishing iran even among the us still seems to have spread to europe and some of the us allies always behind america when it comes to sanction iran yeah that's true this confusion and even disagreement
6:04 pm
between washington and its european allies goes all the way back 220000 when the trumpet ministration pulled out of the iran nuclear deal and renewed sanctions on the islamic republic the signatories included the european union and their officials were very upset about this unilateral withdrawal still secretary of state mike pompei o expects them to fall in line with the so-called global coalition against iran that he mentioned in his recent diplomatic visit to saudi arabia and the united arab emirates meanwhile what is trump saying about his allies let's take a lesson from here about the europeans europeans are going out and making a lot of money the europeans are fine but they're going out and making a lot of money now if the formation of a global coalition seemed unlikely after those statements talks between the u.s. and iran are even more of a pipe dream on the one hand you have washington who says that says it's ready for negotiations with iran without preconditions and on the other hand it says that sanctions on the head of iran's foreign ministry will be in full busy force by next
6:05 pm
week the foreign minister. zarif so our negotiations supposed to take place without preconditions if the foreign minister is already being penalized it's hard to tell but it begs the question of whether there's been some sort of meat miscommunication between trump's war hawks and doves or if this is just part of the political strategy. we heard from shanley an attorney and middle east specialist who says that the white house seems to like a coherent position on iraq it's a big miss washington and these days to be missed not by the not but the one this year and that has to be made when well no the letter. busy back from yet he wasn't in the security room with. advisor my camp your. john bolton and that you know that director of cia and they didn't even have. 3 so not by
6:06 pm
the. they wanted to lunch in the back and they didn't have. one. or the supposedly back so we can say that in washington it's their special in the west wing of the white it's that big of their mess. the parents of critically ill palestinian infants who've been taken out of gaza for better treatment in israel are being denied access to their children that's because permits are harder to obtain for adults r.t. that with the parents of 2 children who died while they were separated. ringback the lawyer and going to i was 7 months pregnant and they diagnosed it as early labor but since i had an in vitro fertilization they didn't have the necessary facilities.
6:07 pm
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 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. one day i 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 that.
6:08 pm
fatah said i'm going with after a while they told me the other child was not doing well they didn't say he was dead 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. so much during those fly. monsanto 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 there was criticized it got these really body responsible for coordination between the palestinian
6:09 pm
administration until of the search it assists in delivering health care despite having no responsibility for it physicians for human rights in israel it's an israeli medical ngo so most children travel without their mothers or fathers according to them more than 7000 permits were issued for minus from gaza last year compared to fewer than 2000 for parents god modulators from mother and geo told us more about the situation there is no specific period. 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 separation between the kids and their parents influenced their psychological and social situation and we know
6:10 pm
they're also influenced their recovery and the process of the treatment itself. well the trumpet ministrations peace plan for the middle east has been slammed before even being officially unveiled this for allegedly trying to bribe palestinians into giving up certain political ambitions the plan itself has $50000000000.00 worth of investment in exchange for key concessions that the palestinians are taking to the streets of gaza to protest against demonstrators were seen burning american flags all traits of the u.s. president been marked with the words deal of the devil because the officials. is trump not generous it's 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
6:11 pm
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 it 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
6:12 pm
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 against and get lose in this case you apparently lose most of your country but they'll 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
6:13 pm
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. 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 all this is.
6:14 pm
does not show that the us is. fair. mediate 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 impact makes it almost impossible or next an 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 to have a sovereign viable ready palestinian state now the united kingdom is seen to get its 3rd prime minister in as many years hoping that story and others have to the break.
6:15 pm
with 10 minutes to spare trump pulled back from attacking iran reception of this new split down the middle depending on how you view the president. talked about is why the u.s. feels compelled to go to war washington's obsession with iran is hardly over. brags that it's not that i like the e.u. 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 certifiably and see. what. they put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president and you. want to be. to going to be
6:16 pm
1st this is what before 3 of them or can't be good. interested always in the water . back the race to be britain's next conservative party leader prime minister is in full swing but the sky news debate between the 2 remaining candidates has been counsels the front runner boris johnson failed to reply to the invite and if the foreign secretary does get the top job a new poll has found his premiership could have huge consequences for scotland. expects. 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.
6:17 pm
and also his private life her brow 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 base 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 its boris johnson if he is prime minister then 53 percent of scots say that they would want independence for their country while just 47 percent would be against it and this
6:18 pm
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 no want he was a foreign secretary with a reasonable time he didn't display any basic competence seriousness of purpose and not jump and i find it actually quite hard to get my head around but knowing everything we know about him through tours or even contemplating putting him into number 10 boris johnson 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 go. brown let's take a listen to what he had to say about scott gordon brown as prime minister would be utterly religious not just because you don't popping into fearing tax and
6:19 pm
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 their 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 how do you for him the idea that boris johnson might become. completely revolting boris johnson it's more like . a more visible evil i've had to tell you find i think is and reliable i think is slippery. i think it's interesting with being in charge of the nation at all i think it's a frightening prospect i feel like there's a lot of people that would do a much better job than he words don't like him don't trust him he's a liar he's. american veterans who don't respond to normal treatment for
6:20 pm
depression will be prescribed with 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 lots of questions raised by psychologists of alcala just it'll now be prescribed in certain cases with the correct authorization. the drug in question goes under the name spread votto made by the pharmaceutical giant johnson and johnson it's intended for use when standard therapies fail it's not cheap though the years supply the patient back $30000.00 however experts both in and outside of the government fear the drug safety the possible side effects of the treatment range from elucidations of dizziness to sedation during several years of trial 6 people who were treated with the drug died 3 of the deaths were suicide but the drugs maker says investigators established that those deaths were linked to the product and it continues to promote it as
6:21 pm
a breakthrough for 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 but from suicides are a big problem in the us on average 24 missile just killed themselves every day but the number of doctors reject the idea this 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 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. were only kind of kicking
6:22 pm
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 i'm tenable 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 you know watching out international been great to have your company this evening if you can stick around my colleague mccarran will be here in just over half an hour with the latest on our top stories.

6:24 pm
what they want to sell us than was necessarily good for the pet turns out that 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 cobham's 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 a $1000000000.00 on it and there's no reason to do that research. you know world of big partisan movies a lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell. whenever we need to be smarter we need to stop
