their headline stories this boil prices spike following. the refinery with the pointing the finger of blame to around. those in the. mirror a prominent separatist leader awaits trial in a decades old murder case we hear from his wife not in any human being locked up in a cage fight by 7. universities in california myself to supply students with abortion if a controversial new bill is signed off igniting debate. we need to educate these college students handing them over appellants not be answered here what are we

going to say to a woman you know what you had a chance to get an education to create a better life for yourself but you've completely ruined that. live from moscow to the world this is our international my name's you know neal hello i'm the warm welcome. or the prices skyrocketed by a month not seen since the invasion of kuwait in 1990 following the assaults on saudi arabia's oil infrastructure the united states claims around this directly responsible for some today's attacks on the state run refineries donald trump says the u.s. is locked loaded and ready to respond to the latest attacks to deny the allegations on rule the possibility of talks between mr trump and president rouhani once on the table. reports. it's not even been

a week since the famous most staunch was shaved off the face of america's foreign policy if you know what i mean but even without mr bolton someone else who's actually in charge of diplomacy has tweeted the u.s. will join efforts with allies to ensure iran is held accountable for its aggression and there's plenty of other hawgs to explain how not supposed to be done. it is now time for the united states to put on the table an attack on iranian oil refineries if they continue their provocations where increased nuclear enrichment so the sound of the drums of war is back because oil refineries in saudi arabia went up in flames now after a hit see this island right here that is the kingdom of bahrain as seen from space the fire was so huge that the black of the smoke was almost just as big as you can see right there but who said it was to iran the u.s. state department even though boss might compare didn't explain how they knew the

rain ians did it i'll tell you what the who the rebels who are fighting a civil war in yemen even said it was us but for washington that's just a smokescreen. amid all the cools for deescalation iran has now launched and i'm president of the tyco of the world's energy supply the damages indeed of men's if you look at it from one side the world's biggest black gold producer says the strike cut its crude old supply by around a half donald trump quickly called the saudi crown prince to offer him full support but we know just how much oil and how much cash saudi arabia has riyadh has already called its buyers telling them the disaster is still not enough to disturb its black gold exports plus they've been known as a western darling in the middle east for years and the saudis have been bombing the who theory rebels in yemen with the solid approval of the us and allies.

but back to iran the number one troublemaker in the area through washington's lenses i mean lately even donald trump has hinted he's ready to engage in diplomacy with their leadership could happen it could have. no problem with the black plumes of smoke from the burning saudi oil have probably clouded those intentions with or without john bolton want to deal with iran remains the u.s. administration's toughest puzzle if the u.s. is able to convince its allies like the europeans that. iran was indeed. that country that carried out these attacks

then. that could be quite serious but there's no evidence so far that that that is the case we're only hearing from the u.s. that. that iran was responsible obviously the u.s. is is trying to put maximum pressure on iran. but it remains to be seen whether that will be effective this is the 1st major incident the u.s. has faced since bolton either resigned or was fired and so we will have to watch closely and see who is driving this this this very isolated but aggressive response to these attacks in saudi arabia.

moving on a prominent separatist leader from the spewed kashmir is set to face trial in indian court for an alleged murder almost 30 years ago yes and malik is the head of a group that wants the muslim majority region to belong neither to india or pakistan nuclear armed neighbors which both want to claim kashmir in full his separatist group has been bombed in india under a new terror law though he is a former militant a quarter of a century ago his group adopted nonviolent methods molech faces trial for allegedly leading a group of militants who killed 4 indian or force personnel in kashmir in 1990 he's been in an indian prison since march on draw a lot of other laws for suspects to be held for up to 2 years without charge you know his wife told us about the inhumane prison conditions she say she kept and he was being kept. imagine any human being locked up another kid. 5 by 7

feet with an open laughter and sleep there on the really hard cemented floor without any blanket and with this hyper to see how lights on his head all the time he's got blood clots in his eyes because the light isn't golf and he's not allowed to open the cage even for a minute and in the 24 hours just for 10 to 15 minutes to open the cage and like you know you with a leash you pull out the dog from. the dog house and you force them to walk even an animal won't do that because naturally your legs your bourne's they become stagnant and he requires definite physiotherapy which has been recommended by the doctors from that you. well tensions increased when strip that special autonomy status in early august this year india sent fellow students of

additional troops arrested $4000.00 and impose their communications blockade on the region yes and my ex wife again believes india is silencing kashmiri voices it's basically it's sad lost for land you know just an easy terms like a land grab i mean we're sitting in this house and just imagine if some gangsters that common they attack us and you know this not to be our properties and you know they force us to write the name in there you know give them the property rights and cut off all the electricity on food supplies and we have no wife no connection to the outside world so we're left defenseless and the same manner that's what they're doing with us right now they're starving us to death. in 1400000 and. i why is there not being heard because naturally we have a voice but all it is a clampdown on communications on internet is a blanket ban on all the political voices and there's no social media there's no

mobile networks no radios don't television so we're talking living on another planet right now all the kashmir dispute remains one of the longest resolve conflicts since british india partitioned india and pakistan in 1947 now an indian security expert we spoke to justified new delhi selections and said about a referendum on kashmir independence is not a viable option. has changed the demography in the areas that dr paes what we call those pakistan occupied kashmir. and they have also brought in a large amount of. presence that is the militants dead of this since india in the decision on august fire from all the government big these decisions. and short of that there would be no all. while it's from the people and also told that there will be noise damage by pakistan and the support of the terror groups how

india have been puzzled that at the moment it's not very clear but the political claim. baathist on occupied kashmir as the unfinished part of partition is still there on the indian political spread sheet if you will. write another or headline stories today a controversial bill in california which if made law would force universities in the state to provide students seeking to terminate a pregnancy with abortion pill is now the proposal has sparked outrage. by ensuring that abortion care is available on campus college students will not have to choose between delaying important medical care i have been to travel long distances on these classes the work not on my dime not on my dime taxed me to help the homeless tax me to help social services the don't tax me to pay for the disposal of human

life they should be ashamed to risk women's lives not schools. ok this is what we know if it gets the approval of california's governor in 2023 campus health services dozens of universities in the states will be required to provide students with abortion pills according to the bill there are more than $400000.00 eligible female students out the california state university campuses while private donations of about $10000000.00 will be used to train staff and by ultrasound machines it's fear the other vengefully the states would have to cover the cost or universities would have to raise student health fees. their study of the lesson to health fall in more than $500.00 women public universities in california seek medication for an abortion every month current turk review t.v. host everson attorney and author pick up the debate. we have to allow women

to decide if they want to pursue their education with the complications of bearing children that would be an economic harm to them they have to be able to be able to make a choice and providing them the tools with the abortion pill is simply just doing and doing just that we have to give in women a choice but we should also be pushing adoption as an option why do we just want to hand them a pill and say it's ok here take care of your problems you know what the problem is we need to address this before these women get pregnant we need to educate these college students handing them over a pill is not the answer here what are we going to say to a woman you know what you had a chance to get an education to create a better life for yourself but you completely ruined that and now that you're pregnant we're not going to be able to complete your studies or there's a risk that you won't be able to do that and so you just have to drop out and a person who doesn't have an education job having one really going to go after high level jobs why now one and now you're at

a because most women ceasars and not interested in being on government announced. in order not to go stale in that moment when others don't want it off or even having already in your family who are you know we can get the we can allow these women to go through with a full term pregnancy and allow them to choose adoption but can we actually be honest and discuss the impact of carrying a child for 9 months on a college campus when you absolutely had no desire to be pregnant not only was i an 18 year old mother and did i finish my career and am i here talking to you today but i'm also the product of adoption and adoption is an option and it's an option that seems to be totally off the table in america today when did we stop talking about the fact that you can get a deal in fact and get off it ok well maybe that is born in america every baby is born there are 37 families that want to adopt that baby something is very wrong when we're handing out abortion pills on campus we're allowing women to decide for

themselves based on what they know about their life experiences and their socioeconomic status are they in a position to move forward and currently take on the role of being a mother that is something that's not taken lightly by these women and i believe that when we allow them the tools to make the choice they're going to say you know i have to make this choice for me very simply morally wrong it's morally wrong to promote abortion in a wave that it becomes the chosen choice where it becomes the number one choice over a life i'm pro-choice i believe in a woman's right to choose i believe there are circumstances where she should have that choice but i also believe that we need to advocate for a life the reality is that going to school full time and having a newborn baby is very difficult and it's a burden that some women have decided that they don't want to take on and frankly

who are we to say that they should be forced to go to term with a pregnancy if they're feeling that they're not ready. ok and moving on to not totally the similar story american toy giant hospital has launched opt dated version of its board game monopoly to address the gender pay gap it's call that miss monopoly and house female players receiving more money than male players for the same actions say as the game embodies a positive message about female empowerment but not all women are. and look at their the. fear in the. room. for all. of them are only.

as good as the women i find ms monopoly sexist equality doesn't mean women make more than a man at the creel wait to vote has for your most monopoly i do not need a financial head start i would like to start equal and then kick some butt thanks. hasbro actually wanted to celebrate women's empowerment with their name as a monopoly why not finally acknowledge that

a woman invented minorities in the 1st place. in the 5 years i spent reporting my book the monopolists published in 2015 which chronicled the discovery of the boardgames invention hasbro declined to comment or knowledge maggie's role in originating began it trivializes the the plight of women in the workforce. i don't understand what they're trying to do it fact they also pay lip service if best to the originator of of monopoly who was a woman and what it does is it basically takes a cause which many people take very seriously and should the notion of eat quality and equivalent treatment in the light and reduces it to that of a board game and you start off where women make more money and somehow i guess this

is supposed to inspire conversation or some type of insight into what women go through i think it's tawdry it's pathetic and again stupid. still to come the winds being taken out of the sails of germany's renewable energy drive with more and more people publicly stating we don't want windmills in our backyard just one of the stories coming up after the break. join me every thursday on the alex simon chill and i'll be speaking to guests of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then.

a rescue vessel into its territory for the 1st time this year signaling a break from the tougher a migration policies imposed under material salvini the country's former interior minister now the move comes as the italian prime minister promises to overhaul italy's immigration policy our europe correspondent charlotte dubinsky breaks down the story. a radical shift in policy is how many people of viewing this off the 80 to my current were allowed to just in italy on the island of lampedusa where the country's new foreign minister. is justified this by saying it's not to return to open ports. there's a big misunderstanding about the safe port given to viking it was assigned a port because the e.u. would head to our request to take the major share of the migrants it must be my clear just like with the previous government our right is to ensure that those who arrive in italy are redistributed to other european countries well that's perhaps

understandable given that the anti might work policies on the closure of it in sports to charity rescue vessels and to michael it was one of the most popular policies instigated by the country's former interior minister to yourself the need to sort his popularity and the popularity of his party search in the time that he was in government now he's being critical of this recent development and he says it comes as a result of pressure from uni is. the army population is not a slave of anybody. with the whispers with micro and macro on to the traces of the italian people so what about the people who live on the italian island of lampedusa what do they think if they have the right to move and it's right to be taller and it's only fair to rescue these migrants but

decisions must be made because we can't accept everyone. i have faith in the new government and i hope they will distance differently i hope that with some sense they will be able to govern together for the good of italy. that i was once attacked by a moroccan he looked at me 3 or 4 times saw that i was old and i had to go change he came closer it just took it you might become racist when these things happen to you but we're not. well e.u. leaders are yet to agree on a concrete policy with how they will deal with the continued to my current crisis the one issue that will once again be raised when they meet later this month and then again that's in the next month. but the reality is while the new italian government say this isn't over to. many charity rescue ships it will now be seeing what's happened over the weekend as the green light italy's ports are again

once a week. to some world use in brief starting in hong kong where dozens of people have been injured in violent clashes between riot police and government demonstrators police use water. against protesters who were throwing petrol bombs and bricks near government offices in the city hong kong has marked its 15th consecutive weekend of government demonstrations that were triggered by a proposed extradition bill of suspects to be sent to me on china the bill was eventually suspended but the protests quickly turned into a broader pro-democracy movement. at least 7 people helping killed 2 injured after a small plane crash near the club. on sunday the incident happened just a few minutes after the aircraft owned by a local company took off from the are a poor investigation into what went wrong is under way. by this for

a record breaking heat treat german style. made it to the guinness book of world records tipping the scales at just over a home in the german city of. to try this at home you lead a 400 pork chops 4250 kilos of bread crumbs all fried up at 14000 liters of all of course will get you a diet busting 7. a square meter schnitzel. this thing in germany the country's approach to renewable energy has had some of the wind taken out of its sails with strong resistance from people that live near power generating turbines double quarter went to meet some of them to see what their issue is. germany's 2030 renewable energy goals are on a collision course with reality the country's energy sector needs a hero something to save the green agenda before it's too late and to fill those

larger than life issues the government has put its faith in wind power we are convinced that the expansion towards 65 percent of renewable power on the grid by 2030 can only be reached if the expansion of onshore wind is revived for years wind power was a main driving force of germany's fast expanding green energy industry making up almost a quarter of total production so far this year its proponents praise wind as one of germany's most important energy sources creating thousands of jobs and many megawatts of energy while also cutting c o 2 emissions but wind farm expansion has slowed to a snail's pace and these towering males have cost hundreds of anti wind citizens initiatives to spring up across the country so i drove down to brandenburg task residence how they felt about these when mills being built in their backyards and enough but no the aircraft warning lights are flashing so that you feel like you're in the middle of an industrial park on oil refinery simonis in the be during winter

months the shadows from the rotating mills create a disk to your living room and there are a lot of complains about it i was on talk we're going to even sit outside on sundays or open our windows it noids because of the noise of the landscape flickers those are serious problems but noises and shadows aren't the only issues here and. act residents are complaining about other ways in which windmills are hurting the environment. is a renewable energies a great idea but then needs to be a reasonable approach windmills in the forest we are generally against that we hadn't much in the bats and insects are being killed on mass and the damage is bio diversity by technology that is supposed to be environmentally friendly there are more negative outcomes than positive ones and to top it all off they feel that the government doesn't care who bears the burden on us and or when generating his own

was putative distance prescribe for smaller meals and that was ok but then they built an additional one that is 50 meters high with these regard to the local community we haven't been asked but just presented with the facts subjective into the 1st 6 mills were instilled and we urgently considered it positive now they're getting bigger taller louder people are getting annoyed and now there is a notion that our contribution to renewables has been fulfilled and the expansion should stop and if the government doesn't explore other alternatives in response to this grassroots opposition germany's environmental goals could be gone with the wind donald corder r.t. brendan burke. monday afternoon approaching half past 2 here in the russian capital hope you're having a fine start to the week do stay close to for more great program starting in.
