the whole story is a new nixon henry kissinger to tell us that it will not be tolerated in latin america. terms of economic and social system could take hold and therefore the policy would be to make. the chilean economy scream. and make the economy of. the stories that shake the week here on artsy tensions escalate in the gulf with the u.s. sending troops to saudi arabia and imposing new sanctions on iran over tehran's alleged attack. as more chaos in hong kong where anti beijing protesters have clashed with police who responded with rubber bullets and tear gas. the fate of the israeli prime

minister is in the balance of the 3rd place arab political alliance from the recent elections. main rival to form. a new today's top stories are right around the world this is r.t. international. the iranian president says he wants gulf nations to work together to provide security in the region comes after his country's standoff with the u.s. intensified this week or hinted accused of being behind a drone attack on an all refinery in saudi arabia and made this pledge of support to riyadh. 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. over the drone missile attacks were claimed by who threw rebels in yemen on friday saudi forces will sever less strikes near the yemeni port city of data saudi coalition spokesman said the goal was to prevent who through rebels from launching remote controlled assaults on shipping in the red sea in the south is in us still blame iran for the attack on the old facility where he's been against the has more. that has been decided that iran did it and that started opinion all finding with the result of an investigation it's a decision guilty secretary do you gather any new evidence that shows who was behind the attacks and do you think it was slam dunk case to bring to the un 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 to bear a slew of new sanctions against iran if these are the highest 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 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 of these kind of. 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 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 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 there are alleged iranian components in the day bri 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 to be 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.

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. and to beijing activists in hong kong have staged another protest the samuel thomas chinese territories in the grip of a 16 consecutive weekend of demonstrations. of this is that have been waving american flags destroying chinese flags and saturday police in the city used to gas and rubber bullets rioters threw molotov cocktails and started fires on the streets .

here on tuesday a leading name in the hong kong protest movement appealed to u.s. lawmakers in congress joshi one wants them to pass a bill that would see greater u.s. support for hong kong hong kong a 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 that is the most important reason why the hong kong human rights and democracy act and just the thought some throws off hong kong civil society. wong is a prominent student activist who organizes protests against the chinese government

in support of hong kong's independence 22 year olds also a leader of the pro-democracy party them a system he's already served several jail terms for his activities on down of explains why was planning for us supervision over hong kong might 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 that 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 affairs will have consequences this month we must possibly 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 homes special status annually and if that status is ever revoked the region's autonomy would not so much been friendly to 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 this leave the judges. sitting all of the the biggest economy in the world without us this city will always just ordered. oh it was. a great deal but it's not just the whole poorly there are thousands of dollars they still believe and it would likewise be affected of course it's. because well. or see percent of policy he was. head of the deal in the cold war. as far as equality is also. all but cent on the other hand of course we lot i would wish. to see so as to help with the internationalization. 'd with the. american legislators say the bill

is designed to punish mainland china specifically as protesters want sean and not but while the end goal may very well be punishing beijing in pursuit of a geo political supremacy washington my just overall look at the collateral damage . the fate of these really prime minister hangs in the balance after the arab bloc the joint list gave his backing to form a new government in his main rival after the recent election result in deadlock the israeli president initiated 2 days of crunch talks with parties to decide who will be the next leader. we usually did not indorse israeli p.m.'s so without doubt there is an historical side to what we're doing now we want to put an end to the era of binyamin netanyahu therefore will indorse benny gantz to form the next government we want to live in a peaceful place based on ending the occupation the establishment of

a palestinian state alongside the state of israel true equality to civil and national level social justice and democracy for all. this is the citizens of israel this happened just as we warned. the arab joint list recommended by any chance for prime minister there are 2 possibilities now either a minority government will be formed that relies on those who reject israel as a jewish and democratic state and glorify terrorists that murder all soldiers and citizens or a broad national government will be formed i know what the answer is and so do you and therefore i'll do whatever i can do for more broad national unity government there is no other solution. or the block of arab parties known as joint list came 3rd this week gaining 5 more seats than in the previous election it's thought that that was spurred in part by netanyahu inflammatory remarks made about arab districts and the potential for voter fraud that led to

a spike in arab voter turnout switch it around 59 percent the leader of the arab joint list alliance said the outcome of the election was the price of incitement israel faces the prospect of a 3rd round of elections in less than a year if an agreement between the blocks isn't reached and against the center left blue and white alliance won $33.00 seats that he sent to right likud party was just behind but it seems israel's destiny could now be determined by the leader of the years frail they take new party who came 5th political commentator neil lazarus explains why. very important because what he is saying is it will probably mean that the president will turn to benny gantz to try and form a government having said that we know that the president of israel is very keen to form a national joint national government of likud and blue and white the fact that the israeli arab vote came out much more if it was about 10 percent higher than it did last time and the voices we've heard today is actually showing that israeli

democracy is much stronger than the cause of hatred against certain members or parts of the population today the israeli arab voted in strength to try and bring down the government of netanyahu and work as a democratic country for a better hope both parties both in that in yahoo and. gantz don't have enough to make a majority even even when as the backing of the arab list the person who is the king or bank is lieberman and he holds the balance of power in a lieberman has been saying that he wasn't going to recommend anyone to the president to be the preferred to form the coalition what we do know he has a personal dislike for netanyahu and actually was responsible for bringing down the government and cause and 2nd elections or the momentum that led to it at least so we really are in a stalemate i think we should be looking less at how these really arab vote is but

which way lieberman is going to actually be voting. social media facebook is apparently undergoing an identity crisis has changed the way it describes itself from being a platform to a publisher and that could have major consequences in a recent legal case facebook claimed that it was a publisher insisting it has the right to ban whoever it wants but that would also make it liable for what goes out on its platform a responsibility has previously tried to dodge it has more so what have we got here. that's better. plaintive ultra right web activist laura luma who was taken off pretty much all major online platforms defendant facebook one of the giants which kicked her out we carefully flicked through these court papers which the defendant filed could fly and bury the lawsuit and here's what really caught the eye. to the extent miss lewis claimed targets

facebook's decision to deactivate her accounts it is also deficient on the well established law made the facebook nor any of the publisher can be liable for failing to publish someone else's message 1st amendment provides absolute protection for such decisions what was it again neither facebook nor any other publisher protection by the 1st amendment so in this particular case the lawyers of sucking co are happy to legally refer to their social network as up publisher digging a bit deeper will reveal facebook has done that in the past as well when last year an app startup was crossing swords with facebook in court this is what came from the network spent the publisher discretion is if 3 speech rights are respected what technological means is used so is it just me or something's wrong with how the platform we use every day identifies itself because when facebook bosses take

questions in other places it seems they always try to distance themselves from the notion publisher which are you are you a tech company or are you the world's largest publisher because i think that goes to a really important question on what form of regulation or government action if any we would take. senator this is. a really big question i view us as a tech company because the primary thing that we do is build technology and products are you responsible for your content which make exactly on of a publisher. well i agree that we're responsible for the content but we don't produce the content and that's been the message for quite a while. we are a tech company not a media company. i do think we have to be the publisher and we definitely don't want to be the arbiter of the truth now just imagine what kind of legal trouble the

tech giant may put itself in if it becomes universally recognized the company mr zuckerberg is running is a publisher not just a tech platform are they really ready to be responsible for anything disturbing or outright criminal that gets posted under the blue logo the examples have been out there in abundance. the way. or what if simply someone decides to lawyer and bully me with all kinds of offensive stuff right on facebook should i then also follow defamation suit against the network because they as a publisher a lot of it's well known you can't have a cake and eat it at the same time well probably unless your last name is sucker berg we asked facebook to respond to this story we have yet to receive that comment

. a long term crackdown on terrorists in nigeria has seen thousands of children being detained since according to human rights watch we spoke to one of those behind the report. since 2013 nigeria has detained about 3600 children and in june a human rights watch went to the northeast of manchuria 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 piled one next to the other they described it like the razor blades a pack many of them something began losing hope that they would ever be released

some thought that they would die in detention too often is 5 were reportedly held in overcrowded facilities spending months or even years there were frequent reports of sexual physical or mental abuse the children being accused of involvement with the book a terrorist group a radical islamist organizations based in northeastern nigeria but it carries out attacks right across west africa in 2015 it pledged allegiance to islamic states and imprisoned children were rounded up during military operations against the group. they are so me 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 be choose. 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. while the 2000 children have been released from detention since 2030 but joe becker again believes more effort should be vague to free those still being held without charge nobody knows the current number of children who may still be in military custody nigerian authorities do not allow the night 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. the nigerian military denies the allegations in the report saying the children are kept in secure areas and are adequately cared for we did ask the nigerian ministry of justice for comment we have yet to receive a reply. millions around the world took part in a climate strike this week calling for urgent action to reduce greenhouse gases over 5000 events were held around the world all the way from c b to new delhi new york has been hosting the un climate action summit over the weekend demonstrators are world leaders there to take immediate action to prevent a global catastrophe and the topics being discussed these fires in the amazon something the politicians have weighed in on this artificial explains. it's an environmentalist worst nightmare wildfires raging in the amazon destroying the world's most biodiverse tropical rain forest. our house is burning

literally the amazon rainforest the lungs which produce 20 percent of our planet's oxygen is on fire as an international crisis i couldn't agree more manual macro we need to act for the amazon and for our planet talk kids and grandkids accounting on the lines of the entire earth our frac to and that's why we need to find common solutions here leaders of the globe's most advanced countries pledged to do more at the g 7 the heat may have died down but the blame game certainly hasn't with some looking closely at where the amazon wu's may. europe's financial institutions the companies and the financier is housed in those countries are contributing to the forestation many of these companies are known to have unsuitable practices in their supply chain to be clearing areas for the expansion of agriculture especially pursuing cattle so yeah and cattle ranching account for

80 percent of deforestation major companies such as a.t.m. call gail j.b.s. are being financed by some of us biggest banks including b m p paragraphs don't spank and block walk they not only bankroll that debt they're also major shareholders with a voice in how these companies are run so those areas of the amazon us sometimes. to provide all earned for cows to graze or to grow crops to feed life stock these european banks are directly funding the forestation do it your bank and he black rock in vanguard collectively more than a 1000000000 dollars in debt in just the 3 largest saw in the 3 largest cattle companies operating in brazil these even banks often vocal about their staying ability policies. are also being accused of hypocrisy environmental campaign group

amazon watch contacted them about their role in the amazon was fine as well for each bank and blackrock didn't respond b.m.p. paragraphs had this to say then people rebar has been strengthening insecta policies related to deforestation for several years and is prompting its clients to protect natural ecosystems and preserve biodiversity to the best of their abilities that experts say is just simply not good enough while we have applied you know fruits of things like the street to the seed gardens in their portfolio as our research demonstrates that another another crisis is playing out on the ground there are claiming to protect forests and poorest peoples in their official policies while fueling the destruction of the amazon their investments. because look this isn't see here that needs to be socially right home to these

companies so that they better understand their role and also they can themselves be part of the solution rather than part of the problem without the traceability and the accountability of all actors involved including here in europe the fear is that our house will continue to burn. off paris. we are storage abang to comment on its links to the deforestation of the amazon will bring you any response. or says northern fleet has been put through its paces in the barents sea the ministry of defense has released footage of combat training underway. thank you. for the raging storm and strong winds the mission continues the training focused on repairing it advertisers are delivering the missiles fired from the naval vessels

is not that socialism has been poorly implemented but that socialism has been frayed only implement from the inside venezuela things are different we're going to announce sanctions against petroleum's to venezuela associate. in the school have a son of the moment those who flew down to something. bad to see on the people of the moment the focus of the who story isn't new makes him cold in henry kissinger to tell him that it would not be tolerated in latin america an alternative economic and social system could take hold and therefore the policy would be to make the chilean economy scream so wants and making the economy of venezuela screed.

something. i think the men that we attract to the military you know we've got to the army of one you know be all you can be all those themes that we've had throughout the years very very heavily masculine masculinity cannot be victimized because if you're a leader if you're a masculine person and you're victimized then you're weak the problem is that anybody can be a victim of sexual assault. and join the service in the 1972 the military is a great way of life. that see the world. i got educated i love the

military. was 19 and i want to challenge all alone and the next thing they mellow was laying on the ground i was struck from behind and 2 guys hold me down and one guy was pulling my pants down. and. just taking care of his business and you know struggled and i was being struck and hit and told you know told to shut up or they'd kill me. and i see how it destroyed my life. i mean it i'm i've been married 3 times just luckily i have a wife right now who i've been married to for 25 years. you start wondering if you start sort of you know here coming up with reasons why things are the way they are and for a long time i kept thinking i don't know if this something something else. i had never.
