6:01 pm
supreme court justice brett kavanaugh leaving important details out. it's 1 o'clock here in moscow and you're watching all to international live from our studio with me. welcome to the program. saudi arabia is claiming to have proof that iran was behind the bombing of its oil refineries at the weekend and that the attack was not conducted from yemen iran swiftly rebuffed the defense ministries claims as lacking real evidence. as the details. well we heard the press conference from the saudi ministry of defense earlier and we also understand that at this point mike pompei 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
6:02 pm
they announced that they had carried out a thorough investigation and come to some pretty specific conclusions. the attorney did not originate from yemen the attack was launched from the moon and was on question be sponsored by iran it's not in the range of yemen's capabilities if it was them who conducted the a tuck this is one of the missiles we have recovered and we have information that leads us to the source that these kind of components were made in iran 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 if 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 basically as the saudi officials were speaking they argued that the components of
6:03 pm
these missiles were iranian made they said that iran is attempting to hide evidence 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 when when is the breaking point what is the red line where you feel you'll be compelled to respond militarily. that we're working right now to move launch point and when we have it we will have evidence. the decision is not on my level right 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 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 where the cruise missiles and drones were made from exactly with that attack was
6:04 pm
launched or why ed defense systems could not prevent that attack. at 95 percent of the vote counted the fate of israel's prime minister hangs in the balance right now in any case neither has enough allies to form a government which means yet more protracted coalition talks lie ahead on middle east correspondent paula has the details. well it certainly seems as if you've read the situation wrong this is the 2nd election in 6 months and it's the 2nd time in 6 months that netanyahu has lost he is being placed 2nd to the full the army chief benny gantz who heads up a center left party now the race has been tight it's only 160000 seats that is the equivalent of that one parliamentary mandate so it's only one 160000 seats that separate the 2 leaders. who is running out of coalition partners he hasn't got any new partners to approach to put sides his traditional ones and he's also making a desperate attempt to try and present this in
6:05 pm
a positive light he's made an appeal which he says he will fight on to form a strong zionist government without the arab parties many people here interpret that as the desperate words of a desperate man they need guns is not going to be tossed presumably with forming the next government he says he is prepared to potentially work with netanyahu so we could pause here but only if netanyahu is not there and who of course is not going to accept this but there are questions whether or not in the future the party might actually osc him to step down so that they can form that unity government and still remain within the ruling coalition that doesn't believe him and he really is the king the king maker here and he is expected to have between 8 and 10 seats now and he and netanyahu have a lot of bad blood between them so on the one hand they'll need to put their personal differences aside and then on the other hand the time yahoo is committed to the orthodox parties and lieberman is campaigning on the ticket. he wants
6:06 pm
nothing to do with the orthodox parties so it seems almost impossible hunters are not who's going to be able to form a coalition with lieberman on the one side of the orthodox parties on the other so so this is the problem in israel is just too many political parties with too many different agendas the sense one gets here is that the country is in a position of stalemate almost in the same position that it was 6 months ago and that's why increasingly more questions are being. as to whether or not a 3rd of nixon is going to be held which is just essentially going to cost the country more it's going to create more and more frustration amongst israelis. political analyst to mitchell barak believes that 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 and you know had really all the options in the world he could have formed a right of center government a narrow one with about 61 suits or he could have sat down with benny gantz and had a unity government with 70 and added more parties he chose to do neither he wasn't
6:07 pm
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 of that and you know he's talking about a narrow right of center zionist government you know a narrow government and benny gantz 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 as said will join a national unity government with the likud even we just won't do it with it and you know it's and you know for most israeli politicians and many and many of the israeli people is damaged goods. a show of support and defiance well known figures from russia's film and t.v. industry of voicing their solidarity with a young actor who they say was wrongfully convicted of resisting arrest. tainting a protest rally for last month's merrill election in moscow he's now appealing his
6:08 pm
a 3 and a half year sentence as matina coaching of explains. the moscow court has sentenced a young up and coming out. of to 3 and a half years and prison for attacking a member of russia's national guard during an unsanctioned rally that took place on august the 3rd now the officer who arrested villa testified in court and he said that he was an active participant in the rally that he was shouting on to government slogans and that he during the arrest he dislocated his shoulder meanwhile there is a video footage. rast and many were outreach saying on the video puddle simply stance by the metro station looking at his phone and not shouting a new slogans himself says that he did not intend to use force he stumbled backwards and denies that he is guilty of any wrong doing now the judge read refused to review the video footage of the rats ruling that introduced by the
6:09 pm
prosecution was sufficient this case sparked an outcry and attracted the attention else maney different people from well known journalists to a number of high profile figures and of the a world of culture here in russia all offering support for pavel. regarding the standoff i have to repeat literally what i wrote a blog it's not a matter of solidarity it's about justice injustice is what destroy states the situation in which the act of himself is a blatant injustice it's impossible to ignore it's all keep silent. no the point is not in community solidarity but in the fact that this directly concerns me to the monstrous injustice and cynicism with which this has been done come affect everyone and other defendants facing similar charges was released from prison and placed
6:10 pm
under a travel restrictions so all these cases the track now a lot of attention. india says pakistan controlled kashmir should be considered part of its own territory the indian foreign minister also expressed hope that one day they would have physical jurisdiction over the region pakistan and india have been at loggerheads over kashmir for more than 70 years since they fail to agree on the borders drawn up hearing the british partition of india. it used to be one country under british rule where communities of differing religions live side by side for generations but 70 years ago independence to the region split into india and pakistan in a process that went down in history books as the partition and so did the man who hurriedly true the border the year 1947 the dying days of the british empire weakened by the 2nd world war india became
6:11 pm
a burden london was also unable to counter the growing independence movement led by mahatma gandhi to fix it britain appointed lord louis mountbatten as the last viceroy of india he made it clear it was not his dream job. i am prepared to accept the job only on one condition india must be granted independence by july 948 and i will not stay there a day longer. once he arrived though he decided he couldn't wait that long it needed to be sorted more quickly in just 5 weeks to be precise enter lord cyril radcliffe a british lawyer who had never set foot in india he was tasked with drawing a line between the most cohesive. islam and hindu populated areas just like mountbatten radcliffe to found india not to his liking. it was impossible to undertake the field survey in june because of the heat so how does anyone who's not familiar with the situation on the ground decide where the border is going to be
6:12 pm
well studied the maps obviously it's all in there the demographics the religious majority it's also simple isn't it but the areas with the majority of muslims in pakistan and the hindus in india problem solved right if the aspirations of some people had not been fulfilled the full must be found in political arrangements with which i'm not concerned the radcliffe line was only revealed to the people the day before independence and scenes of celebration were replaced with fear and confusion as millions woke up on the wrong side of the border the partition and the radcliffe line led to unprecedented violence resulting in up to a 1000000 deaths so how did it all go wrong many areas had equal numbers of muslims and hindus radcliffe also didn't take the sikhs into account and he never even heard of kashmir. i was not even aware of kashmir i heard about it long after i returned to london both lord mountbatten and lord radclyffe made
6:13 pm
a swift exit from the heat leaving millions of people to deal with their quick and toxic solution for generations to come. today in india controlled kashmir a communications blackout is being enforced making it very difficult if not impossible for people on either side of the disputed nation to speak to each other india says it was put in place to potential violence and prevent the possibility of separatist rallies we spoke to family unable to. support or. since last month we've been unable to get a hold of our relatives in kashmir but we keep trying. the ear is totally disconnected i've seen for myself this kind of atrocity back in 2010 when i went to a medium held kashmir the situation was intense. we were dying to know their condition were concerned something isn't right we have no idea of that you have food to young children are growing hungry you the acumen.
6:14 pm
and does it do that the whole time. and yes it is like this when they were trying to reach down we pray for them constantly our hearts are bleeding we just want to see them again kashmir is split into 3 parts administered by india pakistan and china which also has claims to part of the territory tension escalated recently after new delhi stripped india administered kashmir its only muslim majority state of its autonomy in august pakistan rejected the move saying it contradicts international law on choose day india's leader narendra modi announced that the kashmir region would get a development boost including foreign investment he says the region is to be made prosperous and the gauche asians are already under way meanwhile india's top court ordered the federal government to restore normal life in kashmir as soon as
6:15 pm
possible we are some regional allis whether blackouts and the other severe measures were necessary in kashmir. exceptional situation requires exceptional measures and . implementers i'm sure the government will vote. in a very short bit of pain is armed with. a lot of things here we relaxed what example . was prisons are open most of the day i think is open. and the maryland connections are. of course some restrictions there in due course of brain those instructions would also be removed so those who are gay will be released in a hoodie dupers our very little except those who have some criminal charges or charges against them and the case is going against them in the media sports clearly the some of the confusion and the restrictions on the communications restrictions
6:16 pm
especially on. telephone and on internet are working because a lot of the cross border terrorist attacks have happened through coordination or were these means and also through. and other such things which are not you know which are encrypted and not easy to crack for the intelligence agencies so i think some of the restrictions will remain but 90 more than 90 percent of our countrymen rally because a muslim majority part of june 1 kashmiri are already did time. dictions have been lifted and landline telephones are actually working and i know of my own friends there who have been able to communicate with me to landlines so it's not that they're completely isolated or there's a daughter blackout but gradually i think as the security situation improves i think most of these really believed it claims of sexual misconduct against u.s. supreme court justice back cover again making headlines that story after the break
6:17 pm
. you know world's big partisan group a lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to get the stories that mainstream 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 we're watching closely watching the hawks. exit from it's happening. big countries accumulate big positions and goals that's an exit from here because we know that over the past 300 years no fear bloody
6:18 pm
house or by. the teenage face of the global climate change movement has been given the us congress a dressing down 16 year old told members to listen to the scientists and take real action julia met former president barack obama and address the senate. don't invite us here just to tell us how inspiring we are without actually doing anything about it because it doesn't lead to any thin i know you're trying but just not hard enough sorry. and i was in washington for a few days ahead of a global climate strike plan for friday to also address the un climate action
6:19 pm
summit in new york on monday the youngster became the face of this year's climate protests by taking part in school strikes and skipping class joined by students around the world scientists though are warning of a growing number of youngsters being treated for eco anxiety after being exposed to apocalyptic warnings about the earth's environmental planet britain's climate psychology and alliance says children are being prescribed psychiatric drugs to cope and what's the problem to become a recognised condition group executive and psychotherapist caroline hickman believes it's a rational fear so shouldn't be medicated away. younger people are naturally very empathetic to the state of the environment what's going on in the world at the moment we're talking about their future because they perceive this as a real threat to them so i think it's perfectly understandable they are really quite stressed in distress about this this is a very emotionally healthy response to the new world at the moment and we can't
6:20 pm
ignore what's going on in the news because the graphic images. being really quite frightening i would be very concerned to hear that said children's just gestures being medicated away as i said earlier you know their emotional responses make perfect sense in their lives what's going on in the wild so the 1st thing we need to do is listen to them talk to them and help them process these complicated feelings it's really important to tell children the truths and not hide the truth from them but child these things in ways that they can understand don't exaggerate many of my seeds because both of those would just stress and would cause problems. now a new tell all book about allegations of alleged sexual harassment by us supreme court justice brett kavanaugh has been previewed previewed in the new york times but the paper's facing a backlash for apparently taking things out of contact. and he has been reading between the lines. if you're kind of sick of hearing the same story all over again
6:21 pm
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 here to do york times involved. yeah which is once again one of the biggest stories in the land of trump and cold versus the liberals here we go so 2 times 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 masti
6:22 pm
or saw mr cameron when he's pants down and a different drink in durham party where friends pushed his penis into to hand over female student now that is gross if it's found mr cavanaugh was really up to all 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 lineup they've made up their minds on what should be next for calve no confirmation is not exoneration and these news revelations that disturb him like the man who appointed him cavanaugh 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
6:23 pm
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 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 i don't know 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 by classmate to friends of brett cavanagh pushed his penis into him of a female student and
6:24 pm
a drunken during 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 essential piece of the puzzle was missing in your draft of the article did it include those words that have since been added to the article and to do 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 messed 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 crump was right and they didn't want to read the story of that extra
6:25 pm
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 gross like this oh god. his genitals liberal media rob watch this space my friends. avani is a mess on a lot but it will be hit with all the latest updates around 30 minutes time so stay with us. no one except.
6:26 pm
the process of constructing this was to rank as a biodegradable scaffold which is poor and when this is inserted beneath the skin when the skin is suctioned over the scaffold over a period of about 6 months you have to shoot in growth and invest your eyes eisen occurring in other words the cells the mule in your body grow into the scaffold it grows its own blood supply so now this is fully integrated as part of my on it's own living part of my own. they all see themselves as dying swans in their dreams.
