the stories that shaped the way here in our tensions escalate with the u.s. sending troops to saudi arabia and imposing new sanctions on iran over to iran's alleged attack on an oil facility. but with more chaos in hong kong where anti beijing protesters clashed with police who respond with rubber bullets and tear gas and deadlock in israel for a 2nd election fails to give any side a majority to form a government both prime minister benjamin netanyahu and his main rival following to lead any coalition thousands of children as young as 4 when held without charge in cramped attention centers in nigeria the rights watch says the rest were made as

part of an anti terror crackdown. they describe severely overcrowded cells with 250 or 300 detainees packed into a cell that was 10 meters by 10 years. good morning the latest developments in a look back at what's been happening over the last 7 days to you watch and we can hear an r.t. international the iranian president says he wants gulf nations to work together to provide security in the region comes after his country standoff with the u.s. intensified this week washington accused iran of being behind a truck an attack on an oil refinery in saudi arabia and made this pledge of support to react. the president has approved the deployment of u.s. forces which will be defensive in nature and primarily focused on air and missile

defense we will also work to accelerate the delivery of military equipment to the kingdom of saudi arabia and the u.a.e. to enhance their ability to defend themselves it is clear that even the saudis themselves don't believe the fiction of the rainy and involvement. however the drone and missile attacks were claimed by who think rebels in yemen on friday saudi forces launched several airstrikes near the yemeni port city of her data aside a coalition spokesperson said the goal is to prevent the rebels from launching remote control results on shipping in the red sea yet the saudis in the us still point the finger at iran over the oil facilities strike artie's more against the earth as more. that is being decided that iran did it and that started opinion all finding with the result of an investigation it's a decision guilty secretary to gather any new evidence that shows who was 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 month trub is doing what trump does best signing pieces of paper bringing to bear a slew of new sanctions against iran but these are the higher sanctions ever imposed on a country we've never done it to this level. and it's too bad what's happening with iran it's going to hell 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 unquestionably 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. we have information that leads us to the source these kind of components were made in iran . so what they found is the weapons were allegedly made with 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 not once during the presentation did the saudis specifically say that iran did it 1 may ask what on earth saudi defenses were doing at the time they've got the 3rd biggest military budgets on earth one of america's best clients the countries livid with patriot and

other anti missile systems $80000000000.00 a year should protect you from a score of drones and missiles no 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 responding back then again to those saying it's iran because they're alleged iranian components in the daily brief does that mean that the u.s. is responsible for her refit massacres in yemen i mean sure saudi arabia dropped the bombs but those say made in the united states more likely than not a 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 has got to be america. and. 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. but our gas ok let's look at some live pictures now currently coming from hong kong where 6 think consecutive weekend of protests a continuing these are actually pictures from inside a shopping center right now where demonstrators have gathered things turned

a lot more ugly though yesterday on saturday where police in the semi autonomous chinese city gas rubber bullets while riots as through i want to talk cocktails and started fires on the streets because with the pictures from yesterday right now i. i. i mean while on tuesday leading name the hong kong protest movement appeal to u.s. lawmakers in congress joshua one wants them to pass a bill that would see hong kong's autonomous status monitored in return for economic perks. hong kong's special status under american law that bans on the city being treated as a separate customs area beijing should not have it both ways wrapping all the

economy benefit of hong kong standing in the world while erosion of our freedom this is the most important reason why the hong kong human rights and democracy act and just bought some throws of hong kong civil society as a prominent student activist who organizes protests against the chinese government in support of hong kong's independence the 22 year old is also a leader of the pro-democracy party. he's already said were jailed for his activities you can see down of them explains why one's planned the u.s. supervision over hong kong could backfire. they are many they've won the fight with the authorities by early submission but they are anything but done the american flag waving taskforce among the hong kong protesters are sending their poster boy to convince us legislators to do something big on autonomy.

well for those of you having difficulty making out the absence of this boilerplate script it's the human rights and democracy act and it's meant to show beijing that the u.s. is serious about fighting for hong kong's rights the united states must make clear to china that its interference in hong kong's affairs will have consequences this month we must pass a by cameron bipartisan on consumer rights and democracy act the bill was devised in response to what the u.s. has been calling a chinese infringement on the region's autonomy and requires for america to review own comms special status annually and if that status is ever revoked the region's autonomy would not so much been fringed but rather new to dust since the early ninety's hong kong has been enjoying huge advantages for wearing washington's

special status badge. and some believe that a small yet vocal group of protesters is laying an explosive tripwire for the whole region which will not enjoy the konami chain reaction if it's ever triggered in a way that is they've just. to get all of the 'd the biggest economy in the world. and city hall is just ordered. but was is going to hold a great deal but it's not just the whole poly there are all the thousands of united states don't believe in all of it would likewise be affected of course it's a political war because. it calls only or percent of charlus economy

he was the. head of the deal years ago in the apparel to all moral as far as equality is also. but low is also sent on the other hand of course we law i would wish the one country to see so as to help with the internationalization the religion with. all american legislators say the bill is designed to punish mainland china specifically as protesters want sean. but while the end goal may very well be punishing beijing in pursuit of a geo political supremacy washington my just overlooked the collateral damage. in other news the israeli president is intervening to break the deadlock over forming a new government he's meeting prime minister benjamin netanyahu and his main rival benny gantz both are vying to head a coalition after snap elections failed to return

a majority. according to the election commission we have received $33.00 seats 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 as 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 but israel does face the prospect of a 3rd round of elections in less than a year if an agreement between the blocs can't be reached dance's center left blue and white alliance won $33.00 seats while netanyahu center right likud party was just behind them the arabic bloc did come 3rd with 5 more seats than in the previous election arab israelis make up around 20 percent of the population making

them a major voting bloc netanyahu is made unproven allegations of ballot fraud in arab districts and even accuse rival parties of stealing the recent election after they blocked his bill for cameras to be placed in polling stations in arab areas is inflammatory views we're seeing as a factor in boosting arab voter turnout to 59 percent political analyst michel barrett believes that for now netanyahu doesn't have any viable options for a coalition. the ironic thing is the last election which was a few months ago and then you know how to 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 a unity government with 70 and added more parties he chose to do neither he wasn't successful in either call 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 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 as i 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 as damaged goods. still to come politicians concerned i've. broke finance companies to be without merit and which actually helps contribute to the 5 by having the story put on the stage just.

what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line they did accept the reject. so when you want to be president and you. want to be. the 2 going to be press this is what the 3 of them all can't be good. i'm interested always in the water. when lawmakers manufacture consent to public wealth. when the ruling classes and protect themselves. with the right larry go around listen to the one percent. we can all middle of the room sick. really. really really

really. get new with the way they now an ongoing crackdown on terrorists in nigeria has seen thousands of children being detained that's according to a new report by human rights watch we spoke to one of the researches behind the publication since 2013 nigeria has detained about 3600 children and in june human rights watch went to the northeast of nigeria where boko haram its most active and we interviewed more than 30 children who had been detained the vast majority of these children were never charged with a crime in fact they were never taken to court they 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 space that they couldn't turn over at night they were you

know pile one next to the other they described it like the razor blades in a pack many of them something began losing hope that they would ever be released some thought that they would die in detention. children as young as 5 were reportedly held in overcrowded military detention facilities on little or no evidence they spent months sometimes even years there without charge and the reports to you of sexual physical and mental abuse and extreme overcrowding as we heard the children had been accused of involvement of the armed terrorist group baka her around the radical islamist organization is based in northeastern nigeria it carries out suicide bombings as well as armed assaults throughout western africa in 2015 alcohol around pledged allegiance to islamic state and then many of the imprisoned children were rounded up by nigerian authorities during military operations against the terrorists. they are asked me if i was

a member of booker 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 to 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 ladies got pregnant in the cell and delivered while i was there. in nigeria origins have released over 2000 children from detention since 2013 nearly all of them had been held there without charge jo becker again though says the government should make more of an effort to release the children still being held. nobody knows the current number of children 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 protection authorities so that they can receive rehabilitation and help or unifying with their families and reintegrating into their communities well in response the nigerian military has denied the allegations made against it in the report saying the children are kept in secure areas and all adequately cared for we did ask to the nigerian ministry of justice for comment on the story although we're so far we haven't received a reply. now millions of people around the world took part in a so-called climate strike this week calling for urgent action to reduce greenhouse
