so. saudi arabia says today's devastating drone attacks on its own facilities were unquestionably sponsored by iran because the. made in iran. deadlocked 2.0 israel for yet another. prime minister netanyahu currently. behind rival. that the coalition told. neither have enough for a majority in parliament. in the coming days. to assemble a strong government. with everyone starting to work for the government. and the new york times and faces a backlash for publishing. sexual misconduct the u.s.
1:01 pm
supreme court. leaving important details out. from our studio with me welcome to the program. saudi arabian nights' claims that iran was involved in this weekend's attack on the kingdom's or refineries and that the attack was not conducted from yemen in the south but came from the north the defense ministry announces position and news at a news conference just over an hour ago well it is live with us for the details what evidence did saudi arabia put forward to support these accusations. well we heard the press conference from the saudi ministry of defense earlier and we also understand that at this point mike pompei
1:02 pm
o has arrived in saudi arabia for his working visit and he is referring to the attack as an act of war in blaming iran but at the press conference that we heard they announced that they had carried out a thorough investigation and come to some pretty specific conclusions this is what we heard from saudi officials. not the attorney did not originate from yemen it was moon from the movie and was on question by a wrong that it's not in the range of yemen's capabilities if it was them who can be a toxic this is one of the missiles we have recovered and we have information that leads us to the source of these kind of components were made in iran and now as the saudi officials were speaking they had scattered parts of the missiles to route the room and they pointed to these scattered parts of the missile to make their point that iran was responsible this is how they referred to these scattered missile
1:03 pm
parts that were in the room as they gave their press conference. that iranian regime and the i.r.g.c. are trying to hide any evidence of the components and the technology i'm sure we will. we're working on whoever is responsible about to take accountability. so basically as the saudi officials were speaking they argued that the components of these missiles were iranian made they said that iran is attempting to hide evidence and they went on to say that they will be giving more information upon mike pompei was a rival now mike hale from what we understand has arrived and interestingly when they were pressed for details about the location from which the attack was launched they gave some rather vague answers this is saudi officials responding to questions from reporters. and i said when and when is the breaking point what is the red line where you feel you would be compelled to respond militarily militarily if i thought
1:04 pm
it had we have more we are working right now to move launch point you know and when we have it we will have evidence that the decision is not my love and i want to do it now the islamic republic of iran has responded and said that this is simply not accurate and they said that saudi arabia does not have real proof that iran is responsible this is a un official working with the rouhani administration the president of iran. the news conference from the saudi arabian defense ministries press secretary is a catastrophe for saudi arabia they've shown they cannot prove or know exactly when the cruise missiles and drawings were made from exactly with that attack was launched well why a defense systems could not prevent that attack now that mike pompei o has arrived in saudi arabia will be waiting for the next developments as it appears that saudi arabia and mike pompei are blaming iran for this attack the iran
1:05 pm
seems pretty pretty secure and pretty pretty committed to the fact that they say that the evidence just doesn't reveal that. ok thanks for the update there caleb moore penn thanks for r.t. live too far that is the professor of political communication at the university of toronto the comment program to discuss is now the key white house figures are inside the arabian and with the saudis they're saying that the attacks were questionably sponsored by iran that's what we just heard before after days of holding off from direct accusations what do you think the next moves are going to be from riyadh and washington. just. the white house or the attack you don't. respond because. and there are going to how many american soldiers there handle its decision that the president
1:06 pm
needs to make me that he wants the intel into a military confrontation with iran it's which is going to be very costly at the same time that he's running for reelection and that people may remember that he advocated peace and he was criticizing collated into in what engaging in war with iraq so that's his decision i think there are a lot of people in washington that realize the saudis with one u.s. government and us all just to enter into a military confrontation with iran the saudis want to basically buy and warning. against iran from washington and i think people in washington that don't want to be used in that manner and the saudis themselves on the to include. attacking iran militarily i don't think because they're much more want to go and when it
1:07 pm
comes to. the damage that they would receive if they attack iraq you know. it is dependent on oil sales for about 30 percent of its budget the saudis are dependent on oil about 90 percent of their budget so if. you know any in oil facilities i think. there would be no oil and they can't explore and that's going to be the end of the saudi regime things are complicated. the saudis don't like. oil fields and. petroleum. to be hit by a yemeni is need to stop bombing yemenis they need to stop those who are stationed in yemen you need to stop killing women and children on daily basis they need to realize that human policy has been
1:08 pm
a failure and they need to talk to human isn't that some sort of so that as long as you continue to attack you. shouldn't be surprised if yemen is attacked back that's one of the point is though isn't it for that you know even though the who the rebels have said that they are taking responsibility saudi has specifically said that what we just said you know that they're saying iran and question. the attacks were sponsored by iran now iran's presidential advisers describe the saudi defense ministry press conference as a disaster for their kingdom do you feel that this is a deflection tactic perhaps on to what extent do you think it could be a disaster. it is a disaster. the saudis i think guards the u.s. government would attack iran militarily if this type of things happened and the u.s. government seems to know better than not engage in this type of activities their
1:09 pm
policy in yemen is a disaster and the policy in syria was a disaster their policy towards qatar is a disaster the saudis don't know how to do foreign policy basically and. this is what you get get these answers after disasters disasters the. some sources unnamed sources in the united states said that the missiles came from southern iran it's been a few days now and there is no evidence for such a claim and if there is no evidence they cannot just accuse iran without any evidence and they realize that we have other countries waiting to see if they have any evidence what the accusations that you make against iran because making accusations against iran has been a practice of u.s. government for the last 40 years but they can't prove what they say. but
1:10 pm
nevertheless they have accused iran haven't they despite. despite other people claiming responsibility you know him perhaps they do have evidence or perhaps an investigation is under way what do you think is happening for them to make these claims. i think you know and welcomes impartial serious professional investigation because i don't think that most of them are. from iran and i think iran in government is not to worry about. professional investigation into the investigation. who says the people in yemen have been able to. attack saudi facilities in the last number of months using the same technology so this is not the 1st time they have used this technology and as i said the saudis don't like what they see they need to stop bombing yemen. and we have to see if we can go back to the u.s.
1:11 pm
reaction that we we've obviously what sort of negative rhetoric coming from the u.s. towards iran but this specific case why do you think the u.s. has. backed saudi almost in blaming iran for the attack well before any results of come out any definitive results and definitive evidence. you know the u.s. saudi relations that dates back many decades no matter what the saudis do since they buy billions of dollars of u.s. weapons the u.s. government feels that they need to back saudis without any question that's why they're backing. the war in yemen that the saudis are engaging in you know in u.s. congress there was a bill that was passed both republicans and democrats voted for us to start with the white house to stop its support. for the saudi government. because
1:12 pm
many people. realized. it's not going to be successful and us is part of that what is responsible for that one and the. to kill innocent or going to . be the basis. because of that or the asian ship the u.s. government. backing saudis and the issues not just with regard to yemen when it comes to the saudi very difficulty is that u.s. has been supporting saudi conflict and. so saudis don't know how to find policy the u.s. is. their lead. and it's good for us president to be waiting for some saudi crown. what.
1:13 pm
they want to do in the us government used to be much more serious much more. there are. seems to be a joke if you see in trump's. shows a very confused one and obviously that doesn't take into consideration the fact that backing tell you something prince that has failed in all his ventures is not going to be beneficial for the u.s. government or the american people ok for a professor of political communication university of tehran franks very much for coming out of the program. thank you. but more than 90 percent of the vote counted the fate of israel's prime minister hangs in the balance right now benjamin netanyahu his party is currently one seat behind rival benny gantz in the 2nd parliamentary election of the year in any case neither has enough allies to form a government which means yet more protracted coalition talks lie ahead the
1:14 pm
kingmaker it seems next to be former defense minister i think daw lieberman who party has secured 9 seats so far both polling to say they're open to discussions with other parties but with seemingly different goals. in the coming days will convene negotiations to assemble a strong zionist government and to prevent a dangerous and designers' government there will not and cannot be a government that leans on arab anti zionist passes i intend to speak with everyone starting tonight we will work to form a broad unity government that will express the will of our people. political analyst mitchell believes that for now mr netanyahu doesn't have any viable options for a coalition. the ironic thing is the last election which was a few months ago and it's in now had really all the options in the world he could have formed a right of center government a narrow one with about 61 seats or he could have sat down with benny gantz and had
1:15 pm
a unity government with 70 and added more parties he chose to do neither he wasn't successful in either called for new elections now what it appears is i would say it's the final countdown to the end of the career and that's and you know he's talking about a narrow right of center zionist government you know a narrow government and many gods is sounding like a leader unifying the people the will of the people he's going to talk to all the parties most of the parties that have run from the left blue and white to the labor party to the democratic camp party all of them has said we'll join a national unity government with the likud even we just won't do it with nets and you know that's and you know for most israeli politicians and many and many of the israeli people as damaged goods. and in the press on this wednesday evening at tallaght old book preview on the u.s. supreme court justice cabinet. times and help want to break.
1:16 pm
what holds it has to do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president and you. want to be. the 2 going to be press this is what before 3 in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the water. when almost seems wrong. why don't we just don't. i mean you get to see how he's going. that's a cool and it gave me equals betrayal. when something you find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.
1:17 pm
welcome to the program a new tell all book about allegations of alleged sexual harassment by u.s. supreme court justice brett kavanaugh has been previewed in the new york times and the paper is facing a backlash for apparently taking things out of context and has been reading between the lines. kind of sick of hearing the same story all over again like the president called this or that media nothing but junk or you're glad you haven't heard the name brand cavanaugh and something related to his genitals for a while i'm really sorry i don't think they'll do it but they should for the good of the nation i call for the resignation of everybody at the new york times
1:18 pm
involved. yep which is once again one of the biggest stories in the land of trump and co versus the liberals here we go so to tom's journalists wrote a book and had a preview published in the sunday paper what's being teased are 2 previously reported alleged cases of sexual harassment by brad cavanaugh now a supreme court justice from his years at yale. a freshman named brett kavanaugh pulled down his pants interest his penis at her prompting her to swatted away and inadvertently touch it. a classmate max dear saw mr cameron with his pants down and a different drunken durham party where friends pushed his penis into to hand over a female student now that is gross if it's found mr cavanaugh was really up to all
1:19 pm
that surely he must face severe consequences although for now these are just lines from a book not something put forward by let's say the folks from the justice department but if you pick almost any one of the democratic presidential candidate lined up they've made up their minds on what should be next for kavanaugh confirmation is not exoneration and these news revelations that disturb him like the man who appointed him kevin all should be impeached he was put on the court through a sham process and he is placed on the court as an insult to the pursuit of truth and justice he must be impeached it is more clear than ever that brett kavanaugh lied under oath he should be impeached i stand with survivors and countless other americans in calling for impeachment proceedings to begin but dig a bit deeper and perhaps trump's latest rant at the n.y.t. isn't so wide off the mark there could have been a bit of
1:20 pm
a problem with their journalistic ethics you see some conservative folks got an advanced copy of the book and realized something rather important was dropped in the times teaser the book notes quietly that the woman max steer named as having been supposedly victimized by kavanagh in france denies any memory of an alleged event seems odd or no significant it was then the paper's turn to do something about it after a while here's what they came up with. an earlier version did not include want aliment of the book's account regarding an assertion my classmate to friends of brett kavanaugh push his penis into him over a female student and a drunken party the book reports that if the male student declined to be interviewed and friends see the she does not recall the incident that information has been added to. the authors were bound to be asked why the central piece of the puzzle was missing in your draft of the article did it include those words that
1:21 pm
have since been added to the article and to it so somewhere in the editing process those words were no i mean i think what happened actually was that you know we had her name and you know the times doesn't usually include the name of rectum and so i think in this case the editors felt like maybe it was probably better to remove it and in removing her name they removed the other reference to the fact that she didn't remember that they could have done a good job at protecting the victim or they could have missed the whole thing up wildly because no matter what's not in the article they say her name is in the book or maybe mr trump was right and they didn't want to read the story of that extra spice and left out the crucial bit on purpose what if the woman doesn't even consider herself a victim she reportedly says she doesn't remember anything like this oh god. his genitals liberal media frob watch this space my friends.
