swimming pools has been far more concerning at outdoor pool in distilled or so hundreds involved in a muscle brawl last weekend it started when a group of young men became embroiled in an argument with a family police to be cold and deployed pet the spray a witness described the scene there was a huge crowd of teenagers who were causing trouble around here they made those men with children cry police to escort the family away from the scene and authorities ordered that the pool be closed and said they didn't know too much about the identities of those behind the violence. colleagues described the group as african looking at the incident and dissolute office fall from the only one to have taken place in germany in the last month here in lynn coutts at the entry to a public swimming pool the place to be called there over in munich $150.00 teenage

continue for a little while yet police pool security will be hoping that while the mercury rises tempers stay cool these are all over r.t. berlin. a mass public backlash has sparked against one of the 2 people in line to become britain's prime minister current foreign secretary jeremy hunt after he tied opposition labor party leader jeremy corbyn to atrocities in nazi concentration camp outs with thousands have already signed a petition demanding that hunt apologize artie's poly boyko explains their anger. a petition calling on the foreign secretary to apologize to the leader of the opposition jeremy corbyn has amassed over 16000 signatures because a lot of people are angry over these comments that really boil down to jeremy hunt making a link between the leader of the labor party and the atrocities perpetrated by hitler and the nazis take

a listen to what the foreign secretary had to say about the leader of the opposition jeremy corbyn in an interview with the jewish newspaper a little bit earlier on this week you know it's rather complacently said to myself thank goodness we don't have to worry about that kind of thing happening in the u.k. and no if i myself with the leader of the labor party who has opened the door to anti semitism in a way that is truly frightening to me corbin has been a lifelong campaigner for the rights of palestinians but he's also been accused of failing to root out anti semitism from within the labor party but these comments by jeremy hunt have managed to offend even those people that all natural corbyn supporters take a listen to just some of the reaction on twitter. that someone would visit auschwitz and use it as a means to attack the mainstream political party in the. german home 20

auschwitz when he came back he was so humbled by the experience he needed to use that does complaining material to insult his political opponents because that's the truth isn't it jeremy the whole can stand might win you a few votes using school cheap political points just to be one of the most despicable things i've ever seen even from a turi jeremy haun is the 2nd favorite after boris johnson to be the next prime minister head as a conservative leadership race on at the moment. but some say that his desire to reference you know the problem of anti semitism in the labor party as a way of deflecting from the over alleged islam a phobia within jeremy hunt own conservative party and also the chances of a general election here in the u.k. before the year is out is really not for strikes and jeremy hunt i've been doing the campaign trails and barrie slee trying to out greg's it each other by pledging

to both leave you by the end of that how do you deadline even if there is no deal in place and that we can win the election where. we vote is to look to labor as some sort of alternative to all of this and so there is a genuine fear right now i think in conservative circles of the prospect of a corbin government and we've even seen stories leaks from the civil service which is supposed to be the power again of impartiality here in the u.k. suggesting that jeremy corbyn isn't fit to be prime minister and supporters of labor jeremy corbyn they will see these latest comments by jeremy hunt as sort of just another installment of this plot to discredit the labor leader. senior research associate of the big inside out center for strategic studies wants

nothing is more dangerous than minimizing the holocaust for political point scoring . believe the competition might be in such a high level. whatever it is against corbin who might be the next prime minister would use. any means in order to gain some votes this is very dangerous because when you try to minimize. the holocaust to something which can be used. for political issues it is something which makes the holocaust happen again because if it was not such a big think that we can use it into the good we can use it. to begin. ahead of the us air force has a short americans that the country is ready for a nuclear war where feeling the 3 lights that would flash on his red office phone

and the country he chose for his armageddon scenario was russia should war with a nuclear power happen and i'm going to primarily use russia as my example today as the most dangerous nuclear threat we face i fully expect 3 lights to lights up on my roots which phone in the office the 1st step in the nightmare scheme would be to team up with nato which he called 1st and foremost a nuclear alliance to send bombers next would be toward the north american aerospace defense command to intercept incoming missiles and finally deploy nuclear submarines for a massive 2nd strike one as discussed this now with our guest journalist martin summers mr summers great to have you with us sir what do you make of the u.s. air force chief publicly detailing the nuclear war scenario here. well in a sense there's nothing new in what he said what's wrong what's what's missing from

what he said is that the need the u.s. and nato have a 1st strike doctrine they won't say that they will only use weaponry in a 2nd strike they say they think they have to have strategic ambiguity and they've always said that we will not say that we won't use nuclear weapons 1st so of course his presentation of a attack by russia on the u.s. assumes that the russians would attack 1st and of course both russia and china have always said that they would never use nuclear weapons 1st now of course they could be loyal this is this this but talking about the nuclear war here there's a lot of a lot of what you might call surrealism involved but in a sense there's nothing new here it's just basically grandstanding was it really absolutely necessary to name russia as the target for nuclear war. well no he didn't have to name him but all because the it's part of the general drumbeat of hostility towards russia that we're seeing. it if it's simply in the in

the in the past when the soviet union existed there wasn't much doubt about who the enemy was going to be but of course at one stage them talking about putting these. interceptor missiles into rumania in poland and so on and they were claiming that that wasn't directed at russia it was directed at iran who didn't actually have nuclear weapons and certainly didn't have nuclear and l.c. b m's that could have reached the region but of course the russians russian military and major be regarded as the thing to do with iran and of course that these are the real problems that we face is the the the the idea that nuclear war can be for someone of course the the military in the west all developing lucky leave the weapons which they think can be used in this in a conventional war please understand that that isn't russian strategic doctrine and nor should it be if you go to other nuclear war everybody dogs. so used to. it where is seems like we're at a time where the international community is trying to step back from nuclear

affairs from north korea to iran so what does the pentagon really have to gain from talking about nuclear war like this. well i think you've got to remember the military industrial complex in the west is is is a money making machine primarily. as they know that russia was upgraded its nuclear arsenal because it had to really because of basically the. you know short range nuclear weapon straight in their face if you imagine if the russians were poor support to some of the weapons into cuba we know what happened in 16263 when that happened. so that they are basically wanting to spend more money on more nuclear weapons so they're basically it's a basically a sales pitch so that the congress in the u.s. will stumble more money for what is essentially on usable weapons and less martin summons thank you for your time. iran has summoned

britain's ambassador over what to run media described as the illegal seizure of an iranian oil tank engine brought up british marines seized the supertanker claimed it may be carrying oil to syria london insists that it would violate e.u. sanctions on syrian president bashar al assad saying states that a vessel was detained after a u.s. request which would escalate already tense relations between washington and 2 wrong . with iran earlier told the u.s. that it shouldn't start a fire if it's not willing to deal with the consequences that's off the donald trump warned the islamic republic not to play with fire he was responding to terrans announcement that it will increase production of low enriched uranium beyond the limits imposed by the 2050 nuclear deal. sure. from july 7th on what's the level of enrichment will not be at 3.67 percent and you will know what to do you know what they're playing with i think they're playing with fire this thing for the u.s. to do so correct it's

a mistake if washington is afraid of the word fire you can start on the spot began when washington with drew from the nuclear deal and imposed harsh sanctions on iran after a year of escalating tensions to run now says it will no longer feel bound by the terms of the agreement either it or not that because that's because other signatories including france germany and the u.k. haven't done enough to keep the deal a life our guests debated who's ready playing with fire. well i really think that president trying to look him in the mirror and see that he fails to see this let alone defiant that he himself has ignited with is irrational confrontation our policy toward iran mr thompson is wrong is that he is hawkish advisers are wrong the u.s. is iran policy is. former vice president joe biden the self-inflicted disaster iran violated the c.p.o.

way on many occasions and it was only a stopping point on their ultimate desire to to enrich uranium to. develop a nuclear missile program and they continue to do it right after before and right after the signing of that agreement that agreement was never worth more than the paper was written on it's not nonsense it's absolutely true you know it and you're very skilled at the art of project obviously haven't read. or seen has been doing 1515 i am reports confirming iran's full compliance with this honoris obligations we did. you obviously haven't bothered to read even one single one of them otherwise you would not say that iran has violated any of 2016 nuclear going 20 is not only at the. audit did want the water for you to know that the united states purchased heavy water from iran prior to mr trump tearing up the recursion

with you're violating the 3 away by continuing to produce its obligations you can lie all you like on your on your haven't even read that agreement i'm sorry sir you're due to 1st go and read listen iran is a riot is it meant for you to show up on a t.v. show people of iran do not like the regime nobody outside iran likes the regime and you know one day it will fall that's not the stated policy of president trump but one day this regime. who are the ones that were mining the the world tankers in the gulf of that was the who shot down the the the drawn there was in international waters that was the rainy and mom illegitimate vava regime and all they're doing is is now that they're on their own a great deal of strain when they when they receive $150000000000.00 in the wake of signing the g.c. p.r. way gingerly is not a full blown pledge treaty it was just agree with president obama and president trump every legal right to withdraw from it and we came very close to get done just

2 weeks ago unfortunately reason prevailed partly because of trump's sudden discovery of iran's the terran capabilities that even a limited strike could a snowball into you know all out warfare involving us is allies in the region and hopefully that will serve as a wake up call to try and to step back from its confrontation our policy come back to the table that the us left unilaterally and you know resume diplomacy with iran because the users are pushed right now is anti diplomacy and provocative and warmongering. saudi arabia's latest effort to look more liberal appears to have backfired at a top us hip hop star known for her provocative style will be the key to the major concert in the content but that shocked me.

oh well if human knowledge is going to perform saudi arabia. imagine waking up from a thief and the 1st thing. to be musical festival in saudi arabia i don't think i woke up in some parallel universe. she's going to go and shake her all her songs are decent about sex. and then you tell me to where they are by and how people perceive thousands of saudi women who can't even get out to get their basic needs thanks to the saudi government the saudi government is bringing

him in ash to show the rest of the world hey we are an open minded country. was. the crown prince how much insulin man has actually been trying to use kind of these stunts or these very superficial changes that are not organic to saudi arabian society at all or to what it means to be a woman in saudi arabia it is kind of a silly image to imagine that the women attending the nicki minaj concert are actually fully sales and wearing full length ropes society doesn't really buy it they're not buying into this so-called attempt to modernize sort of society in this way i think that this basically includes relates the problem with the rule of the crown prince of example the decision mission of hypotheses somebody who has made absolutely. no all real changes during the entire time that he has been really as

a tool are of saudi arabia at the same time we all know about the scandal with questions you asked your the war and then all kinds of human rights abuses these are continuing how bizarre it is authentic to do these very b.c. the ridiculous gestures to kind of feed them a few of them to their local audience. been for years now since saudi arabia started a war on yemeni who think rebels who reacts claims on tuesday launched a drone attack on a 1000 airport injuring 9 the alleged cross border strike comes amid a worsening humanitarian crisis in yemen with starvation becoming ever more widespread in the region so warn you there are some disturbing images ahead according to the u.n. sponsored world food program 20000000 yemenis are food in for cure and half of them are on the brink of famine but despite the appalling situation last month it partially suspended sending food to areas controlled by the who sees

the decision was taken as a last resort after a lengthy negotiation stalled on the agreement to introduce controls to prevent the diversion of food away from some of the most vulnerable people in yemen the un's decision sparked outrage in yemen and accusations of corruption but who things allege the food program is being used to achieve political aims. the world food program is no longer carrying out a humanitarian operation in yemen but a 60 mitty's have rather become purely political it is advancing the agendas of the u.a.e. saudi arabia and the us a key here the concern is that the main donors to the food program offtake fighting them or supplying the ante here the coalition with weapons they also worry about the collection of biometric data on yemeni citizens which is a condition of the aid supposedly to prevent theft but i think it's more this information can be exploited by the saudi led coalition we spoke to antiwar

campaign at jonathan shafi about the allegations there's a great problem here which is that the war in yemen just like war through history is making money for a small number of people those who run the arms companies and so on when it comes to the question of yemen when it comes the question of how we bring a bit peace the 1st thing that we have to do is to stop the sale of weapons is to open up the channels to deliver food and other aid to the starved people of devastated yemen and to bring about a peaceful solution and so of course there is a need a dire need for food aid to get through and it seems to me that what's happening is that the request for information on 13000000 individuals yemenis including military officers soldiers and so on that the fear is that handing that information over to the world food program that it me end up in the hands of the so

to caution the funding that goes to the world food program because of it coming from 7 of the sody caution and because of the deeply complex picture that that they in pain about with such passion all information me end up on about how that information may be used in a military fashion. fighting marks the. the 76th anniversary of the biggest tank battle in history at khost in southern russia the turning point of the 2nd world war r.t. spoke to the chair of the board of trustees of the national military historical society and special representative of the president of the russian federation sergei ivanov about why moscow had no choice but to enter poland and 941 and the soviet union's role in the war. i am sure that soviet union did most and bade most certifies to.

raise fascism from the face of europe and you think poland could have held out long enough to wait to get help from france or from britain had the soviet troops not crossed its eastern border on september the 17th more that the soviet troops crossed the former soviet polish border the pows government into exists the polish army didn't exist poland unfortunately was destroyed by and that's a german e in 2 weeks and our troops cross the border to save russians belorussians jews and ukrainians living in the eastern part of germany if we didn't do that i am sure ethnic russians the russians and ukrainians would have been imprisoned or sent to camps much earlier

than it was later in 40 or so. there was no other option. thanks for joining us on our c.n.n. national web back in 30 minutes with the latest. for years now the press especially as markets is undeniably manipulated by the same

people who are printing all the money because they don't want gold to rise up and attract the capital while they're trying to pump the fake money called the u.s. dollar now why because it is important is unlike gold the community jen call their base layer of collateral out during what trace mayor would call to focus . on the welcome to the part of it took almost a decade for russia and georgia to start normalizing their relations after the 2008

war in south ossetia when the key so unfortunate seating arrangements through much of the progress out of the window with the georgians taking to the streets to decry i suppose it's russian aggression and the russians turning off the top on the economic called peroration because there is still at a rational way out well to discuss that i'm now joined by tony should i should need say had of the school of international relations at the georgian institute of public affairs and previously a foreign policy assistant to the prime minister of georgia this issue means it's good to talk to you think you very much for your time. thank you now despite the difficult recent history between russia and georgia many russians still entertain the idea of this unique georgian hospitality that a guest is a ghast who should be treated with respect regardless of where he or she comes from how could this case of a visiting russian be on the seat he too can the parliament.
