a cage fight by 7. universities in california to supply students with abortion pills if a controversial new bill is. busy igniting debate. we need to educate these college students heading to hell it's not the answer 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. one minute 6 pm here in moscow this monday september the 16th a very warm welcome to our international my names you know. the biggest one day jump in oil prices in almost 30 years is playing its all new markets right the jump follow. the assaults on saudi arabia's oil infrastructure over the weekend the

united states claims around is directly responsible for the attacks on the state run refineries donald trump say's the u.s. is locked and loaded and ready to respond to the incidents to iran denies the allegations and ruled out the possibility of talks between mr trump and president rouhani which were once on the table at least to try and go 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'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 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 my pump a.o. 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 through rebels in yemen with the solid approval of the us and allies. i bought 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 happen. 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. let's jealousy print this and go live to our of affairs writer abdel bari atwan and friend of the program the yemeni who say the attacks are threatening more but the u.s. secretary of state insists it's tehran's work the coalition also say quote weapons came from iran where's this heading. well i believe it is heading toward a confrontation i hate that saudi the nerve center of the oil production with 10 brunes i think this is the biggest as attack of its kind it is the 3rd attack on the saudi oil installation and that bit of the so there you get

so the president said. iran is responsible that certainly i did talk to the who's the yemeni spokesman and he told me that it was 100 percent attack carried out by their own drones which were manufactured and yemen itself so it seems you know that britain planned by f. using it on or being behind this attack he's preparing background maybe for a military intervention from his administration we don't know yet but i believe this will escalate the situation and the yemen war is this war which is taking place 5 years ago and i'm still continue yemen is where bombed by the saudi from air from sea from land it seems it seems it is at its collision chapter of this saga mike pompei though he said that the u.s. will work with its our lives to hold around responsible who else might get dragged

into this. well i believe that he will find few allies honestly to side with him if you know i think is going to war. you issued a statement to be saying that they have to wait for the facts to come after that when the facts concrete facts are they're saying that iran is behind this ok they will take position but until now the united states does not present come clean stronger fact which is condemning of being behind it i believe it is the whole thing is you have the yemenis whole actually defending themselves against a saudi this is the facts on the ground so if they want an excuse i mean if president crown would like to find an excuse to attack iran this could ignite. the whole and the whole region and it could actually create more problems and the

oil markets adel thanks for your time this hour abdel bari atwan our about 1st writer speaking to us live on the program. where we are really in president is in the turkish capital right now for top level talks with the turkish russian leaders reaffirm notionally there or are. syria very much expected to be the main topic of discussion between the 3 leaders today. well high union yes the leaders of turkey iran and russia have gathered here. for a feat trilateral summit on syria and they're gonna go honey and putin to discuss ways to bring long awaited peace and stability to war torn country and i have to tell you that at this point almost everybody agrees that these 4 might this platform is the most effective in terms of ending the syrian crisis not only

those involved in this process believe that but. also the outside players this time the talks will mainly focus on 3 things 1st the situation in syria's northern province of idlib it's a huge area home to up to 3000000 people of course it's hard to count how many exactly people leave there but there it is a myth believed to be the last remaining stronghold of all kind of anti-government forces including those backed by turkey and this is why turkey apart from having a common goal with syria and russia and iran has its own interest in that region there are also in the province a large number of al qaida like terrorists very dangerous islam is very hard to deal with and of course the biggest challenge the countries right now face russia turkey and iran and of course iran the whole region is how to get rid of terrorism this is something that everybody agrees

a poll and without harming people and how to make sure that this will definitely be the end earlier we heard from putin that he believes we are right now weakness in the final stage the final phase of the syrian crisis but still you have to be 100 percent sure that this will be the end and the terrorists a done so that we do not see the ripper titian a what happened in syria in another part of that region secondly of course the literates will focus on political pro says in particular establishing serious constitutional committee and 3rd and very important of course humanitarian aspects will also be discussed before the sabbath and the summit even begins all the 3 leaders had tete a tete meetings and we are now in a huge delay because the meeting between wide more potent and adept at the gun lasted more than 2 hours and it was followed by an unexpected meeting between big delegations of the 2 countries including foreign and defense ministers and other

specialists it was all behind. stores journalists were not allowed to feel want to be there so we're looking forward to hear from both leaders at the press conference that we expect at the end of this summit speaking about iran has some rouhani has come here to and peres a time when things are heating up in the gulf just on sunday america accused to he run off carrying out drone attacks devastating drone attacks on the world's biggest all producing facilities in saudi arabia in after that we heard america's president saying that their military is quotation logged and loaded to take action and it followed a national security council meeting and after that we heard even more accusations towards iran while tehran is denying all accusations saying it is just a pretext for america to just to fight actions against iran in that region we also

heard just earlier today on monday from iran's elite revolutionary guard that they are prepared for a full scale war so it's a very sensitive topic we were allowed to meet the big 2 film the beginning of the meeting between mr han and mr putin this particular question was not mentioned but we know we heard that from a putin spokes person that you should be very like everybody all sides involved should be very careful in making conclusions so we may expect that this will be brought up during talks between iran and russian leader but again we're waiting for the final press conference to ask questions and to get answers giving us a sense of the many proposed topics to be discussed today artie's maria fanaa in the turkish capital. moving the program on a prominent separatist leader from the speeded kushner is set to face trial in dia over a murder do you think back 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 the nuclear armed neighbors both want to claim kashmir in full not his separatist group has been found in india and driven you on t. ter law though he's a former militant a quarter of a century ago his group adopted nonviolent methods like faces trial for allegedly leading a group of militants who killed 4 indian air force personnel in kashmir that was 990 you know he's been in india in prison since march a law that allows for suspects to be held for up to 2 years about a charge his wife told us about the inhumane prison conditions she say's he's being kept in imagine any human being locked up in a cage 5 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 then died 24 hours just what 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 last month india's 10th of additional troops arrested 4th and impose their communications blockade on the region michel malek again believes india is silencing 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. attack us and you know this not to be our properties and you know they force us to write the name in you know give them the property rights and cut off all the electricity on food supplies and we have no voice no connection to the outside world so we're left defenseless and same manner that's what they're doing with us right now they're starving us to death. 1.4000000 and and i white says are not being heard because naturally we have a voice but order is a clamp down on communications on there's 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 the kashmir dispute remains one of the longest resolve conflicts and british india partitioned india and pakistan in 1000 and $47.00 indian security

expert we spoke to justify a new delhi's elections and said that a referendum on kashmir independence isn't a viable option. has changed the demography in the areas that had occupies what we call as pakistan occupied kashmir and they have also brought in a large amount of. presence that is the militants and the terrorists since india had taken the decision on august the more the government had big these decisions to and short of that there would be nor a little while and from the people and also told that be able to be neuer damaged by pakistan and the support of the better groups how india. at the moment it's not ready but the political claim. as the unfinished part of partition is still there on the indian political

dares thinks. we dare to ask. 80 years ago this month the 2nd world war in europe began 6 years later the scourge of german fascism was defeated however the meaning of the start of the war remains hotly contested this industry is intensely political. hey let's start back with a controversial bill in california which if made a law busy 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 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. well if it gets the approval of california's governor in 2023 compass health services dozens of universities in the state will be required to provide students with abortion pills according to the bill there are more than 400000 eligible female students at california state university campuses private donations of about $10000000.00 will be used to train staff by ultra sullen machines for instance but it's feared

eventually the state would have to cover the cost or indeed universities would have to raise student health fees. the study of the lists and health fund that more than $500.00 women public universities in california seek medication for an abortion every month current turk is a radio t.v. host reese everson attorney and author the both were on the program discussing the development of. 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 why i am now you're at a because when most women ceasars and not interested in being. on government announced in order not to go saying that most women are shown around asked or even have it already and more fit only for you know we can get 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 give me a way of saying get off the t.v. 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 socio economic status or are they in a position to move forward and currently take one 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 that 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 way 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 and 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 the. they're not ready. for another big story of the day italy has allowed migrants to disembark from a rescue vessel into its territory for the 1st time this year signaling a break from the tougher policies imposed on of the us did former interior minister salvini the move comes as the prime minister promises to overhaul italy's immigration policies show deep in skis across the story. a radical shift in policy

is how many people of viewing this off the 80 to my current were allowed to this is in italy on the island of lampedusa where the country's new foreign minister the region to my own is justified this by saying it's not to return to open ports. 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 migrants it must be my clear 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 it in these ports to charity rescue vessels and to my clients was one of the most popular policies instigated by the country's former interior minister much 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. population is not a slave of anybody. the whispers with micro and macro and 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. here face in the new government and i hope they will do things 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 a thorny issue that will once again be raised when they meet later this month 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 who will now be seeing what's happened over the weekend as the green light to these pools are again. you can delve further into that story all of this hour's news headlines of course an art dot com always worth but if you're scrolling time live from moscow this is join me again in 30 for all your latest global headlines hope you do stay close.

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 is a very very traumatizing have happened but i've never seen trauma like i've seen from women who are veterans who have suffered military sexual trauma reporting rape is more likely to get the victim punished and be offended and almost 10 year career or chose very invested in and i gave a sex offender who was not even going to justice or put on the registry this is simply an issue of tower and violence male sexual predators for the large part of target whoever is there to prey upon whether that's when. they all see themselves as going swans in their dreams. but only one in
