the authors. they describe severely overcrowded sounds we've 200 or 300 detainees packed into my soul now police 10 meters by 10 meters. live from moscow what's not international dining hall kids here with you tonight wherever you are welcome to the program. donald trump's national security team is expected to meet later on thursday senior officials from across the government are set to consider a response to the drone attacks on saudi arabian oil fields last weekend the president though is still unclear what option he's leading towards i mean you may have some very strong here who will see what happens a lot of things could happen if we can have a peaceful solution that's good it's possible that that won't happen the u.s. says it's confident iran is responsible. and vows to impose new sanctions on iran
12:02 pm
just to remind you last saturday a dozen cruise missiles and more than 20 drones hit a major oil field and processing plant in the east of the kingdom the attack which yemeni who the rebels claimed they carried out knocked out 5 percent of the global oil supply and so the price of oil rocket is what i guess the if looks at what evidence has been presented so far it is being decided that iran did it and that started opinion finding with the result of an investigation it's a decision guilty secretary do you gather any new evidence that shows who is behind the attacks and do you think you have a slam dunk case to bring to the u.n. next week. i think it's abundantly clear and there is an enormous consensus in the region that we know precisely who conducted these attacks was iran i didn't hear anybody in the region who doubted that for a single mom trub is doing what trump does best signing pieces of paper bringing
12:03 pm
to bear a slew of new sanctions against iran to come into effect within 48 hours and it isn't done and we'll see what happens we'll see what happens i think we have a lot of good capital and we have to do something we'll do it without hesitation the americans who weren't attacked of already decided what happened then who is guilty the saudis who were attacked and have all the day bree and bits and pieces of the missiles are still working on technicalities like evidence and proof let that sink in. the attack did not originate from yemen the attack was launched from the move and was unquestioned be sponsored by iran it's not in the range of yemen's capabilities if it was them who conducted the attack this is one of the missiles we have recovered and we have information that leads us to the source these kind of
12:04 pm
components were made in iran so what they found is the weapons were allegedly made with iranian components they were fired from the north the direction of iran and its neighbors so cutting to the chase it was iran that's what you're going to say right. the rain regime and the i.r.g.c. are trying to hide any evidence of the components and the technology i'm sure we will spot a launch site we're working and whoever is responsible about it will take the accountability not once during the presentation that the saudis specifically say that iran did it and there's no love lost if they could they would say it but technicalities but saudi arabia won't do brave journalists will too happy to
12:05 pm
undeniable evidence of a reign in aggression it almost has the fingerprints of the revolutionary guard in its influence over the hutu rebels tonight u.s. intelligence indicates the unprecedented attack on saudi oil fields originated from around our top intelligence officials think iran did it and so does our top an intelligence official donald trump course 1 may ask what on earth saudi defenses were doing at the time they've got the 3rd biggest military budget on earth one of america's best clients the country's livid with patriot and other anti missile systems $80000000000.00 a year should protect you from a score of drones and missiles no. 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 drones were made from exactly with that attack was launched
12:06 pm
or why ed defense systems could not prevent that attack the only thing that might be iranian related is that maybe some of the equipment some of the technology that the who these have might have been incorporated into the attack but why why or why is anyone complaining especially the saudis since the u.s. has been providing the bombs and the aircraft to the saudis to bomb yemen for 4 years so the who with these are just responded back then again to those saying it's iran because there are alleged iranian components in the day bri doesn't that mean that the u.s. is responsible for horrific massacre in yemen i mean sure saudi arabia dropped the bombs but those say made in the united states more likely than not arabia has been clearing the shelves of american arms manufacturers recently by this logic is new need to investigate to collect evidence it's american bombs it
12:07 pm
has got to be america for. an entire country reduced to misery and pain untold thousands dead more to die but you know what it's the oil refinery in saudi arabia the book was vengeance. meanwhile the iranian foreign minister mohammad javad zarif has warned any strike against iran by the u.s. or saudi arabia would lead to all up war the u.n. has sent a team of experts to saudi arabia to investigate last week's drone and missile attacks russia too has underlined the necessity for an unbiased probe. it is important to make the investigation objective details are numb biased and as the
12:08 pm
allegations against iran that are not backed up by facts do not help the situation only intensify tensions in the region where the risk of confrontation is already high or middle east expert ali rizk believes more strikes will come but full scale conflict is unlikely. well i think these attacks expose the limits of the capabilities of both the united states and saudi arabia and i think that the conclusion which has to be reached by the trumpet ministration is that it can no longer continue to support this war in yemen but rather it has to go into talks or into some kind of a diplomatic process in order to put an end to this situation there's been numerous attempts they've been u.n. mediations they've been other diplomatic initiatives all of it has failed the united states the trump administration has in fact doubled down on its support for the war on the yemen so i think that the many who are thieves were given no choice
12:09 pm
but to escalate attacks with the of forcing the enemy to bell down and to put a stop to this war and to find some kind of mother another supplement a peaceful settlement for the conflict that we have in fact seen the trump administration and sanctions and this talk now about cyber attacks which could targeting iran but as for the out war i think that is very unlikely. after almost 2 months large scale maritime operation the global security body interpol says it's the tech to at least a dozen suspected foreign terrorist fighters event of the continent by crossing the mediterranean you can ski has more says operation so you see the idea is it to look for threats posed by foreign terrorist fighters who may be using maritime week so possibly make training in attempts to get in the showing you see the european union interpol have said that during the operation in the summer there
12:10 pm
were some one point soon 1000000 checks that took place this is checks just looking at people's legal documents making sure that they are they say they are and they see as a result of all of these checks they intercepted 12 in. individuals who they believe are the potential terrorists interpol says it's always only god when information is shared between regions via into paul's networks at a global level every check border control or random search is a potential break in the terror investigation. well no further details have been released about those individuals such as where they're from or indeed which works they use are trying to get into the european union but many will be concerned that this is yet another element to this the only issue of immigration that e.u. leaders are yet to we await forward on we know ministers will meet next week to discuss that but countries such as italy greece and rome said that they are shown
12:11 pm
during the heavy burden and they asked for other european countries to do more to help out and there is this concern that although the numbers in the last 3 years have been declining in the last few days there has been a shopping spree scenarios such as greece leading to see is that they could be another spike yet again a migration present my home was in italy on wednesday evening to meet the prime in the suggests that people say and he said that it is time to listen to those countries on the up new up in the european union has not shown enough solidarity with the countries of 1st arrival particularly italy france is ready to move forward on this point i hope that together we can work towards a new stronger a more united solution but i believe that here too we can defend a common position with the new european commission so that all countries can put to supply in some form of european solidarity in this area or be penalized financially
12:12 pm
and it's not just how to deal with the shia number of migrants that europe has seen coming into the continent over the last 2 years it's also a walkley to when they hear and we know that the commissioner designate for the european union this little delay it is going to have to deal with a she's already been criticised the some of the things that she's put in place just in the last week or so she announced that the commission of that would be looking off to the grief over immigration i would be cool to the commissioner. for the european way of life some accusing her of the using fascist rhetorical with that title including the president. who said he just didn't agree with the idea of this title saying issue of immigration many elements to it and it looks like it's something that european union leaders and also their ministers will be discussing
12:13 pm
for many months to come. there's been a new twist in the standoff between venezuela and the united states with caracas now urging washington to reopen diplomatic ties this comes off the president nicolas maduro entered into talks with opposition parties relations between venezuela and the us collapsed in january when donald trump officially recognized the opposition leader who was interim president of the country has recently been linked to venezuela and drug gangs something washington seems unconcerned by caleb maupin explains. so we've got a tale of 2 venezuelan presidents we've got interim self-proclaimed president one great oh and we've got not nicolas maduro but his predecessor the late leader hugo chavez now both of them are being accused of ties to drug cartels here's a picture of one wedo with the leaders of a drug gang this duo is infamous in the criminal underworld and the photo is dated february 22nd when great it was in colombia trying to sneak across the venezuelan
12:14 pm
border since it surfaced one good way to as shrug it off as no big deal for him in the. regime protects the drug gangs so they're trying to divert attention the real question is how they go to hold of that picture thousands of people get the food to stay with me and the images get passed the road towards so who was the sense of what's up big trip to the socialist party. now the u.s. state department also says that it is no big deal wedo still receives full u.s. backing. but when it comes to hugo chavez the story is a big deal never mind that it's more than a decade old and that hugo chavez is long dead they say that he tried to flood the united states with cocaine and in spain they wanted the head of military intelligence in venezuela extradited but the judge in the case isn't buying it. i couldn't have hoped for anything different i'm innocent they have always made false
12:15 pm
accusations against me the truth is i'm very happy with what has happened. as the colombian opposition leader said if a colombian politician were to be seen in a photo with those criminals he would be prosecuted the union his military and bloody media and political circles are trying to make the scandal smaller it's actually huge in venezuela colombia a loss in america. 2 presidents 2 stories and 2 different approaches because why focus on the connections of your ally in the present when you can focus on the alleged connections of your enemy 10 years ago. r.t. new york. a leader of the israeli opposition insists that he will head a unity government not benjamin netanyahu the prime minister's bloc and the opposition both fail to win a majority in a snap election. according to the election commission we have received $33.00 seats
12:16 pm
and netanyahu did not achieve the bloc that he had hoped to achieve citizens of israel want to the unity government even after previous elections and they want it now i was talking about it almost for the whole year i intend to create a wide unity government with me is the leader. i was surprised and disappointed by the fact that as of now benny gantz still refuses my call to meet the president called for unity and without a meeting between the 2 major party leaders a unity government cannot be formed. opposition leaders statement comes off that and yahoo called him to form a coalition with 97 percent of the vote counted netanyahu center right and likud bloc is 2 seats behind the center left blue and white alliance on wednesday the prime minister added that if he doesn't leave the government it will be dangerous and receive its mandate from the arab parties he spoke to diplomatic analyst ron and thinks there will be a struggle for leadership within a coalition. netanyahu is somewhat disappointment that gunns is refusing even to
12:17 pm
meet him so we are quite skeptical phase now there's never going to be a 3rd round here 9999 percent certain here i think we are going for as said by those 2 leaders for a coalition unity government and now everyone they think is trying to play the tough guy here who's going to be the one who will get the mandate to be the leader who will serve under whom by any by any position by also by this ministry by this portfolio in negotiations psychology here that's the main thing i'm seeing here behind the scenes. 2 major attacks in afghanistan have left 50 people dead one was carried out by the taliban the other by the afghan government which mistook its target more details here the local journalists. powerful suicide bombing targeted south and zabul province this morning killing at least 20 people according to local
12:18 pm
provincial council members and taliban claimed responsibility for this attack claiming that they have targeted the local intelligence campaign around but also a local hospital was damaged and many people have been killed and wounded there so the local official said they try to transfer as many as they could to the neighboring province of kandahar this is happening while the talks between the u.s. and the taliban has halted and stopped and the fighting between these 2 groups i mean the government and the taliban has intensified in different levels in front lines as well as in the cities and in the outskirts specially in the districts so we had heard another incident deadly incident there that happened in eastern part of afghanistan that u.s. backed afghan forces targeted
12:19 pm
a group of farmers that were there for harvesting point now it's and according to the local officials around 30 people have been killed and local governor office saying that they have transferred 9 dead bodies and 6 wounded to a local hospital to local provincial governor office announced their target was a dice militants research analyst at the center for conflict and peace studies. believes the afghan government needs to carefully investigate this mistake if it wants to keep public trust. a lot of the media reports suggest that it was a drone attack drone attacks only be carried out by the americans it's a serious matter and should be investigated totally the afghan government is often silent when that comes to civilian casualties particularly. by the international forces so i think this is this is a serious problem in and if it continues it will widen the gap between the one.
12:20 pm
population in the government and at the same time create more enemies for the alphonse in the american forces it's the responsibility of all parties the afghan government the americans and the taliban to resume negotiations i think everybody here has a stake and are responsible for what's happening enough on the son in in the last then the and for the killing of all afghans that the losing their lives. and anti-terrorist crackdown in nigeria has led to thousands of children being detained that's according to a new report from human rights watch we spoke to them about their findings since 2013 nigeria has to change about 3600 children and in june human rights watch went to the northeast of nigeria where boko haram is most active and we interviewed more than 30 children who had been detained the vast majority of
12:21 pm
these children were never charged with a crime in fact they were never taken to court and never had the opportunity to see a judge the children were denied contact with their families and held in orrible conditions they described so little money that they couldn't turn over at night they were piled one next to the other you described it like the razor blade in a pack many of them something began losing hope that they would never be released some felt they would die in detention. children as young as 5 are reportedly held in overcrowded military detention facilities or little or no evidence they spent months even years there without charge with reports of sexual physical and mental abuse as well as overcrowding the children have been accused of involvement with an armed terrorist group boko the radical islamist organizations based the north eastern lloyd syria carries out suicide bombings as well as our assaults throughout
12:22 pm
west africa in 2015 pledged allegiance to islamic states many of the imprisoned children were rounded up by. military operations against the group they are smee if i was a member of booker her and beat me up when i said no they tied my hands and legs and hung me to a tree and continued to flow camy they flogged me and left me tied to the tree from morning till evening one person from my village was killed during the interrogation if you make a noise if you drink water without asking them if you go toward the door to get fresh air they beat you. the soldiers had girlfriends one of the girls from our village was a girl friend of a soldier she would usually take her out of the compound some leaders got pregnant in the cell and delivered while i was there. that i was hearing authorities have released over 2000 children from detention since 2030 nearly all of them had been tell without charge it's not known at this point how many of them still remain in
12:23 pm
custody jo becker again says the government should make more effort to release them . nobody knows the current number of children who may still be in military custody nigerian authorities do not allow the united nations or independent organizations like human rights watch to access the military detention centers but what human rights watch is calling for is that nigerian authorities release any remaining children in military detention and transfer them to civilian child protection authorities so that they can receive rehabilitation help or unifying with their families and reintegrating into their communities that are doing military denies the allegations made in the report saying the children are kept in secure areas are adequately cared for was that i was hearing ministry of justice for comment they've yet to respond to. a famous pakistani novelist has been denied a german literary award over her political activism she's been calling for
12:24 pm
a boycott of israeli goods on all quarter as more. the city of dortmund has reversed its decision to hand a literary awards to british pakistani author kamila shamsie that she plagiarized something commit a crime perhaps now it's all because she supports an anti israel movement called boycott divestment sanctions. the time of the decision none of the jurors knew that kamila shamsie had supported the boycotts divestments and sanctions campaign in the past b.s. aims to isolate israel economically politically and culturally b.d.'s has a presence across much of the globe but in germany it's had a few run ins with the government palestinian women's organization recently sued the city of boston for being excluded from the festival and the court ruled that discrimination based on the organization's belief in b.d.s. was unfair treatment. of freedom of expression includes the freedom to discuss and call for boycott of campaigns and is also protected by the european convention on human rights however this case is the exception not the rule the border stock has
12:25 pm
made it clear they see b.d.s. as an anti sematic movement not just anti israel. the arguments and methods of the boycott divestment and sanctions movement are anti semitic the message of the campaign to boycott israeli activists and goods or i'm innocent of the most terrible period in german history the do not buy a stick is an israeli products bring back associations with the nazi slogan do not buy from jews and similar graffiti in facades and shop windows the law makers concern isn't out of the blue given germany's past but calling the movement nazis could be a bit of a stretch since b.d.'s are mostly left wing activists calling attention to israel's mistreatment of the palestinian people and the palestinians who are protesting say it's not the palestinians who are doing the oppressing just like you know this protest represents the 1st step in confronting the german parliament's motion which is against our arab nation and against the palestinian cause they are part of the.
12:26 pm
netanyahu axis that tries to crush the rights of our people and the right to return the boy movement to continue and that is support is why the palestinian liberation organization along with youth and student groups around the world more and more politicians are questioning israel's policies as oppressive risking being called anti sematic along the way i can't stand by and watch this attack on our freedom of speech and the right to boycott the racist policies of the government in the state of israel the oppressive netanyahu administration and i have seen this in gaza where families have lived that have been bombed by talkative bombing by israeli jets what the united states should be doing and of course the trumpet ministrations doing exactly the opposite is instead of applauding israel for its actions israel should be condemned germany's past is certainly still haunting to many after all
