this is. the highest day surge from oil prices in decades and it comes on the pocket but stocks on saudi arabian oil refineries while the u.s. points the finger. denies its involvement. india in the disputed territory of kashmir a prominent separatist leader awaits trial in a decade's old murder case we hear from is why. any human being locked up in a cage fight by 7. universities in california might have to supply students with abortion pill if a controversial new bill is signed off igniting debate. we need to

educate these college students handing them over a pill if not be answered here 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. from moscow to the world in your are to the international from the team and myself you don't know neal hello and welcome. the biggest one day jump in oil prices in almost 30 years is playing oh it's right on the markets the jump follows the assaults on saudi arabia's oil infrastructure over the weekend the united states claims iran is directly responsible for the attacks on the state run refineries. the u.s. is locked and loaded and ready to respond to the incidents to deny. allocations own

rules out the possibility of talks between mr trump and president rouhani which where once on the table and he reports it's not even been a week since the famous most stosh was shaved off the face of america's foreign policy if you know what i mean but even without mr bolton someone else who is 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 hawks 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 were increased nuclear enrichment so this 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 quds for deescalation iran has now launched an on president attack on the world's energy supply the damages indeed it 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 u.s. 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 but apple 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 what to do 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. the country that carried out these attacks then. that could be quite serious but there's no evidence so far that that is the case we're only hearing from the u.s. . 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 with 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. will be a reunion president is taking part in top level talks this monday with the leaders of russia and turkey they're holding a summit in the turkish capital syria is among the main issues that for a government offensive against the last remaining rebel stronghold continues the talks between iran russia and turkey will focus on restoring syrian infrastructure helping refugees security it's the 5th time since $27.00 do not the 3 leaders have met to discuss syria they are expected to give a joint statement after their talks we will bring it to you live here on r.t. international when they do. a prominent separatist leader from the speed of kashmir is set to face trial in india over a murder dating back almost 30 years ago. yes and maalik is the head of

a group that wants the muslim majority region to belong to india or pakistan the nuclear armed neighbors which both want to claim kashmir in the fold his separatist group has been in india under a new terror law though malik is a former militant a quarter of a century ago his group adopted by a method now faces trial for allegedly leading a group of militants who killed 4 indian air force personnel in kashmir in 1990 he has been in an indian prison since march law allows for suspects to be held for up to 2 years without charge his wife told us about the inhumane prison conditions she says he's being kept in magine any human being locked up in a cage fight by 7 feet with an open lap and to sleep on the really

hard cemented floor without any blanket and with this hypertensive halogen lights on his head all the time he's got blood clots in his eyes because the light isn't go off 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. are tensions increased when india stripped of its special autonomy status in early august this year india sent followers of additional troops arrested for thaws and allan poe's their communications blockade on the region but again believes india is silencing kashmiri voices. it's basically it's that last

for you know just an easy terms like a land grab i mean we're sitting in this house and just imagine if some gangsters it come and they attack us and you know this not to be our properties and you know they force us to write the name in the 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 and i why says are not being heard because naturally we have a voice but all it is a clampdown on communications on internet on 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 are totally living on another planet right now or the kashmir dispute remains one of the longest resolve conflicts since british india partitioned india and pakistan than 1947 an indian

security expert we spoke to justified new delhi elections and said that a referendum on kashmir independence is not a viable option. has changed the demography in the areas that is what we call as pakistan occupied kashmir. and they have also brought in a large amount of the regular presence that is the militants the terrorists since india in the decision on august fire and all the government big these decisions to ensure that there would be nor. while it's from the people and also be able to be neuer damaged by pakistan and the support of the terror groups how india are going there at the moment it's not very clear but the political claim. pakistan occupied kashmir as the unfinished part of. partition is still there on

the indian political spreadsheet if you will. ok i want to turn attention on the program to a controversial bill in california which if made the law would force universities in the state to provide students seeking to terminate a pregnancy with abortion pills 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 or haven't 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 at schools. well let's go through it if it gets the approval of california's governor in 2023 compass health services

of dozens of universities in the state will be required to provide students with abortion pills according to the bill there are more than $400000.00 eligible female students out of california state university campuses their private donations of about $10000000.00 will be used to train. by machines too but it is feared that eventually the state would have to cover the cost or indeed universities would have to raise student health fees. the study of adolescent health fund that more than $500.00 women of public universities in california seek medication for an abortion every month car in turkey radio and t.v. host reese everson attorney author of pick up the debate not. 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 having them over a pill is not the answer here why 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 why on and on now you're at a because when most women ceasars and not interested in being on govern. minow in order to go sailing that moment when others don't have enough for even the hobbit 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 when found one boss said 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 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. the 1st refugees lund. gratian interior minister was just his job as the prime minister sealed up with the

that's our next story on r.t. international. you know world of big. and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that made history media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smart we need to stop slamming the door. and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. the world is driven by a dream shaped by our own personal. thinks

. we fear to ask. 17 minutes into the program welcome back italy has allowed migrants to disembark from a rescue vessel onto its territory for the 1st time this year signaling a break from the tougher my country policies imposed on her the i stayed former interior minister matteo salvini the move comes as the prime minister promises to overhaul italy's immigration policies shona dubin schemes across the story. a

radical shift in policy is how many people of the 82 my current were allowed to. in italy on the island old. well the country's new foreign minister the region to my own is justified by saying it's not to return to the pool. yes. there's a big misunderstanding about the safe port given to ocean viking it was assigned a port because the e.u. would head to our request to take the major share of the migrant it must be my clear that just like with the previous government all 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 italy's ports to charity rescue vessels and to michael it was one of the most popular policies instigated by the country's former interior minister but to yourself the need to saw his popularity and the popularity of his party surge in

the time that he was in government now he's being critical over this recent development and he says it comes as a result of pressure from uni does. they tell you in population is not a slave of anybody. will leave the whispers with marco and mccrone to the traitors of the italian people so what about the people who live on the italian island of lampedusa what do they think. 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 so that i was old and i had to go change he came closer 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. next month. but the reality is while the new italian government say this isn't over to the courts many charity rescue ships will now be seeing what's happened over the weekend as the green light to these ports are again once a. right let's get a check on some other world headlines for you it's a 100 days unchain thing in hong kong as the protest movement there continues to demand reform in the autonomous chinese region violence again erupted over the weekend leaving dozens injured the police responded to those throwing petrol bombs on bricks at government offices with water counted on tear gas the demonstrations

were triggered by a proposed extradition bill which would have allowed suspects to be sent to mainland china for trial the bill was eventually suspended but the protests quickly turned into a broader so-called pro democracy movement. to the other side of the world like crushed in the hoses in southwest colombia killing at least 7 people on board 2 other passengers survived a child was also injured on the ground the twin propeller plane came down just a few minutes after taking off from a nearby airport investigators are still looking into why he got into difficulty. but this for a record breaking german style meat treats it's a 70 square meter super snitch it's officially the world's biggest ever tipping the scales at just over a ton in a town in eastern germany if you want to try this at home elite 400 pork chops 4000

eggs and 250 kilos of bread crumbs all fried up with 4. leaders of oil and a good lie down afterwards i suspect. the plastic board game monopoly is getting updated to address the much discussed gender pay gap it's called miss monopoly insurers female players receive more money than male players american toymaker housebroke sees it embodies a positive message about female empowerment but all women are. a lot to get there that. i don't really know. the real. world. like.

as a woman i find ms monopoly exactly equality doesn't mean women make more than men adequate way to get out has for. years i missed monopoly i do not need a financial head start i would like to start and then kick some butt banks. there actually wanted to celebrate when the impact meant that their name is monopoly why not finally acknowledge that

a woman invented monopoly in the 1st place. in the 5 years i spent reporting my book of the monotonous published in 2000 p.t. in which chronicled the discovery of the boardgame convention 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 is our news update for it now is just pushing half past 4 in the russian capital to hope you're having a fine start to the week do stay close though we've got more great programs and they begin in a moment. what holds us institutions a little. bit put themselves on the lawn. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president or injury. or something or want to be rich. but you'd like to be cross with what looks like a tree a boy can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters of the color.

seemed wrong when old rolls just don't all. get to shape out these days you can't get educated and gain from it because betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground the. thousands of american men and women choose to serve in the country's military and the decision. every song came to a complete. you know told to shut up or they'd

kill me and i see how it destroyed my life and he screamed at me and he made me come in and he grabbed my arm and he write me with his birth. if you take into account that women don't report because of the extreme retaliation and it's probably somewhere near about half a 1000000 women have now been sexually assaulted in the us military rape is a very very traumatizing have happened but i've never seen trauma like i've seen women who are veterans who have suffered military sexual trauma reporting rape is more likely to get the victim punished than the offender i had an almost 10 year career which i was very invested in and i gave a sex offender who was not even put to justice or put on the registry this is simply an hour in violence male sexual predators for the large part of target whoever is there to prey upon whether that's a man or woman. alone

in welcoming across not where all things are considered i'm peter lavelle 80 years ago this month the 2nd world war in europe began 60 years later the scourge of german fascism was defeated however the meaning of the start of the war remains hotly contested this history is intensely political. cross-cutting revisionism i'm joined by my guest geoffrey robertson he's america's professor. of history at university college cork as well as member of the royal irish academy and his latest book is churchill and stalin we also have dimitri bobbitt she's a political analyst and editor interest me internet media project and in london we

cross our going to be curious he is a writer on legal affairs as well as editor in chief of the duran dot com all right gentlemen crosstalk rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want and i always appreciate jeffrey let me go to you 1st here cynthia visiting moscow and you are an esteemed historian of the 2nd world war and of the soviet union why is it contested the beginnings of the 2nd world war because although most of time it's about the outcome of the 2nd world war but we had this. debate is in warsaw the russians were not invited the germans were why is that still controversial. the idea front of us for the. boys of course a massive amount of us right you know 2nd world war 5060000000 people died. reshaped completely the 20th century well we're still living with the consequences of shadow so you know it is one of the most important of all historical anniversaries political symbols always be it's always be political it's always been

a matter of just historical contestation about watch you happen to have responsible political blind been light now is particularly controversial at the present moment . of course because what's going on in in relations between the russian federation and the west because of the unique ukrainian crisis because the propaganda war that's going on between the russian federation west and the anniversary of the war particular events associate who have become part of that political struggle ok let me go to you in london and say you know we have as i pointed out a few seconds ago russia wasn't invited to these the festivities in poland certainly a snub to the russians but the germans were invited it was. minds me of the you know the of this so be it not seen non-aggression pact ok i mean if one can draw conclusions about the morality of that but the cold political calculation you can't

deny but the poles want to seem to have it just one way go ahead.
