against 2020 hopeful job. been very reluctant to go down the path of impeachment but that may be the only remedy by failing to act congress is complicit in trump's latest attempt to solicit foreign interference in the us elections do your constitutional duty and impeach the president. very good evening to you great to have your company this is our. first the international association of athletics federations has extended its ban on russia it comes as the world anti-doping agency relaunch is compliance procedures against the country's anti doping agency. amid claims provided manipulated data the probe could cost russia its place in next year's olympics moscow has reacted to the
3:02 pm
allegations. rosado is in full compliance with the code this is confirmed by the fog that we have passed to audits in 2 years i was responsible for them i can guarantee this was absolute certainty is committed to meeting all its international obligations however we have nothing to do as the most school board tree or the samples well with the l.m. picks already apprentice next summer the world anti-doping agency is actually investigating a bombshell allegation that could see russia suspended from tokyo games next year now let me give you some details on what's happening now russia has been given a 3 week deadline to explain why data from moscow drug testing laboratory provided to the world anti-doping agency might have been tampered with and eve these suspicions of trying to tampering prove correct and the country could again be suspended and that is happening just
3:03 pm
a year after russia was reinstated actually handing over that particular data from deliberately was among the critical requirements for the reinstatement and of course there has been some high level reaction to this we've no phone some inconsistency we're going to deal with it we're going to deal with it properly we don't know yet whether it's tampering or manipulation or whatever else it might be since the rules state that if we assume noncompliance and the russians don't accept it it will be decided by the court of arbitration for sport so you have to be very careful you have to know exactly what happened and that's the process we're involved in we met all the conditions for the restoration of sunder which were established by the water executive committee we were told that database transfers to water by the informant was slightly different from the one the water experts had taken a copy of in moscow in 2019 what exactly these discrepancies are and what they are connected with will be established by experts from both sides. for our parents we
3:04 pm
continue to provide all possible this instance let me remind you that russia's anti doping agency was actually suspended back in 2015 and after 3 years it was reinstated as i've mentioned before all of that happened after claims that there was that widespread state run doping scheme in the country actually there was a number of some really strong accusations that we heard at the time however not everything was actually proved with some harsh as for moscow well moscow denied it was state sponsored but still there was enough evidence to ban scores of russian athletes they were allowed to participate only to a limited extent and at the winter olympics in south korea under the neutral flag and now this is just the basically the latest twist in this ongoing story. iran is the victim of downing street it's highly likely scenario also used in this group u.k.
3:05 pm
prime minister boris johnson so there's a very high degree of probability to run was behind the recent attack facilities even promising to help the u.s. secure the gulf region. the u.k. is attributing responsibility with a very high degree of probability to iran for the aramco attacks we think it's very likely indeed that iran was indeed responsible clearly if we are asked either by the saudis or by the americans to have a role then we will consider in what way we could be useful the british prime minister barak johnson seemingly getting on board with the accusations made by the u.s. and also by the saudis the iranians if they weren't responsible for that attack particularly the saudis saying that the components that they found were rainy and made in terms of who took part in that attack on the saudi oil facilities and boris johnson there say that it was very likely to have been iran pointing to what he
3:06 pm
said were cruise missiles and drones and other technology that could have possibly been used in the attack now he said that the u.k. wants to deescalate the situation but would also be willing to commit u.k. military resources and personnel to a possible u.s. led action in the region a military action in the region now it's unclear exactly how far the u.k. would be willing to go in any u.s. led adventures in the region but we know that the iranians have stated and denied repeatedly that they were involved at any point but have also been warning the west that if there is any aggression against iran they're more than capable of meeting it head on. the foreign powers are sincere in seeking peace and security it must stop deploying dangerous weapons to a region and group an arms race they should stay away because their presence has always brought pain and misery now we know of course that the u.s.
3:07 pm
very quick to blame iran saying that they would be deploying more troops to the region but one issue that might help to deescalate the situation the so-called tanker was we saw the iranian tanker. seized off the coast of drugs or by the u.k.'s royal navy the iranians responded in kind by confiscating the u.k. flag tanker the iranian one was released and now the iranians are say that as a gesture of good will and today deescalate in the situation that they are willing to release that u.k. flag tanker that the century it is free to go so there are some who fear that while the iranians are trying to tamp down those tensions there are some in riyadh in washington and here in london who are doing the exact opposite the saudis themselves or be telling them that again just a whole lot of we don't want it is clear that. the situation now go at an all out war again this iran because we're on the front line there's just that
3:08 pm
keep the pressure on because normally and of course still had the chance of the iranian leader meeting. and lead us we know it's going to be the branch when he goes to a new york for the united nations decision on climate so it's a question of years for the honest ones will showing support saudi arabia and community but not 100 percent committed. and with the fate of us around relations hanging in the balance daniel hawkins looks at the standoff could play out. iran and the united states go way back a relationship at sea in a coup terrorism sanctions even direct confrontation for over half a century it's hard to find enemies more bitter could we see all out war the question today on the minds of many listening to recent rhetoric you'd certainly
3:09 pm
think that possibility is growing that if any country wants to attack iran it will seize territory turn into the conflicts main battlefields will never let any war be dragged into iran we will continue until the end we will continue until the full destruction of any aggressor and we will leave no safe place for enemies and that was a very large attack. and it could be met with an attack many many times larger very easily by our country the saudis have called for u.s. help after those attacks on it's all refineries it seems all those billions spent on u.s. military gadgets weren't enough to keep them safe back in may the u.s. sent an aircraft carrier strike group to the gulf to this latest incident the u.s. was quick to announce another military deployment 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
3:10 pm
kingdom of saudi arabia and the u.a.e. to enhance their ability to defend themselves many see some historical deja vu in this latest move dating back 3 decades at my direction elements of the 82nd airborne division as well as key units of the united states air force are arriving today to take up defensive positions in saudi arabia i took this action to assist the saudi arabian government in the defense of its homeland operation desert shield back then protecting these to the of the region and the world's oil markets and supply lines was one key. a factor behind the intervention but much has changed in 3 decades the u.s. is now the world's biggest oil producer predicting gulf oil exports just isn't a priority anymore neither is being in the middle of a war between riyadh and tehran the united states is pursuing its own interests and that is to control the floyds flow of oil to the world and that means providing oil
3:11 pm
to its friends and denying oil to its enemies we've seen the united states embargo oil to play countries like syria the sale of oil from iran sudan libya many other places this is about the united states control over the most important commodity in the world that keeps industry going keeps country standing on their feet and domestic appetite for sending the boys to a place of sand and death is weak according to a recent poll just 13 percent would support a military intervention to protect the saudis adding a 2nd or 3rd party into that kind of tense scenario doesn't necessarily deescalate things if anything it escalates things even further just so we get into another war like afghanistan or iraq and get stuck over there for another 1015 years we think iraq was bad iran to be 100000 times worse and we would absolutely destroy there i
3:12 pm
just think we should be less involved in other world affairs no desire for conflict with iran this seems to be a war that neither side wants or at least says they want yet still seem to be on a collision course we have made it very clear that we don't want war we have made it very clear that we don't want escalation making a statement that we don't want war we don't want to engage in a military confrontation america 1st has been trumps mantra since before his election campaign ending costly conflicts no more world policeman with analysts warning of the devastating costs of a war with iran the u.s. stands at a crossroads just how high a price. they're willing to pay to meet their objectives the u.s. as we know is now the world's number one oil producer fracking has changed the nature of oil production in the us and there is an overhang in the oil market so many americans are saying why are we interested in the gulf we don't need saudi oil but you know if the lesson the fact of the matter is that oil is not just
3:13 pm
a product it is leverage over the international community is geostrategic lee important ever since world war 2 the united states has wanted to control energy in the world so the united states is very loath to leave the gulf even though it doesn't actually need the oil itself. number of us democrats say that they may start impeachment proceedings against president trump that's on the back of reports that the pressure of his ukrainian counterpart to investigate possible corruption involving 2020 hopeful joe biden been very reluctant to go down the path of impeachment but if the president is essentially trying to browbeat a foreign leader into doing something illicit then that may be the only remedy by failing to act congress is complicit in trump's latest attempt to solicit foreign interference to aid him in the u.s.
3:14 pm
elections do your constitutional duty and impeach the president at this point a bigger national scandal isn't the president's low breaking behavior it is the democratic party is refusing to impeach him for it and sunday tom denied any misconduct over discussing biden in a phone call with president bloodied ms lewinsky he also accused the former vice president of corruption tied to his son's business activities in ukraine phone conversations come to light after a whistleblower claim trump solicited help from a former leader of the saskia taylor has more. you've got to give it to the democrats they're hardworking bunch especially when something's related to the biggest pet peeve canoe said but with all attempts over the past 3 years to push trump out of the white house haven't for a bit flat new rumors have put the fire back in their bellies urgent complaint about president trump it involves ukraine troubling promise president may have made to a foreign leader years ago 1st got in office were also nervous the donald trump was
3:15 pm
some sort of sleeper agent who was going to sell america out to a foreign power behind our backs. well throwback thursday no balled into multiple reports of potentially illegal activity new allegations of attempted foreign collusion the washington post reported that back in july trump and the newly elected wanted to miss and how did a little chat in which trump asked his ukrainian counterpart to investigate former vice president joe biden and apparently top level whistleblower leaks that trump unethically said he'd be generous with billions worth of american military and intelligence aid if selenski was cooperative whistleblower is under what i can only imagine must be the most. intense pressure sharing anything that is truly sensitive and endangers our national security you're in our world a trouble sounds to see but then things took a slightly disappointing turn the washington post sort of backtracked and admitted
3:16 pm
that well actually they might have jumped the gun just to listen. one source familiar with the contents of the phone call so the trim did not raise the issue of american military and intelligence aid that the administration was at the time withholding from ukraine indicating that there may not be known explicit quid pro quo expressed in the conversation but for the desperate damns even the with of the scandal was enough reports of a reliable whistleblower complaint regarding the president's communications with a foreign leader breeze grief urgent concerns about our national security when you have the president call him in from other countries and whistleblowers are talking about compromising who he has deemed a political enemy this is serious this is very very serious and we have to investigate it this is all in the spirit of pursuing justice and protecting the american people from shady political dealings so probably a bit awkward that trump was gunning for an investigation into how a bomb as a right hand man biden had pushed for a top ukrainian prosecutor to be fired but hey it's probably just
3:17 pm
a coincidence that the prosecutor was leading a corruption investigation into a natural gas company that biden's son was linked to biden bragging that he basically blackmailed x. president petro poroshenko into firing the guy isn't that convincing is what i said you know i get the 1000000000 i'm going to be leaving iraq i think it was about 6 hours i looked as i'm leaving in 6 hours and the prosecutor is not fired you're not getting the money or son of a. fighter no not biden surely not he looks so good in those shorts back in the sixty's he had such a lovable bromance with obama he can't be shady i love joe biden but there is still so much good in this country and joe biden i think represents that the democrats will see him as the best choice voters in the battleground state of wisconsin say they favor by never president trump everyone loves your by if you're trump because an elusive phone call from a secret source reported in a classified document leaked in an article but that corrected itself would be
3:18 pm
declared hard evidence and bring the year. democrats knocking at your door but if you're the only candidate your party has mustered up that even stands a chance of getting the vote of the american people in 2020 c.d.'s something that's up for interpretation and turning a blind eye. no harm no foul this is a barn that basically joe biden has set off himself that's going to i think in the end push him perhaps out of contention it seems very much that the democrats like to shift public opinion away from their misconduct by alleging misconduct of trump and it fools. a large number of people who are not deep divers into details but it's certainly not fooling me and it's not full and i think many other pundits around the world who look at this and say the democrats are just deceiving themselves at this point they opened this can of worms trump didn't bring it up 1st
3:19 pm
they brought it up now other people have brought it back up there are serious questions about what was going on in ukraine i would argue from 2004 forward. involving corrupt elements of both political parties inside our country and the other the democrats abroad to suffer again i believe trump has a megaphone with his twitter account and we're going to get to the bottom of what was really going on in the changing nature of u.s. ukraine and russia relations going to 2004 forward or maybe even further back than that. some parents are furious after reports that touching private parts and self stimulation will be taught to children as young as 6 under a new u.k. school's program called all about me. now a lot of people like to tickle or stroke themselves as it might feel nice this is really very normal however some people may get crass or say that it is dirty especially when you touch your own privates it is something we should only deal when we are alone perhaps in the bath or shower or in bad
3:20 pm
a bit like picking your nose it's certainly not polite to be in class when everyone is watching the sexual as ation of our children is just totally inappropriate the calling itself touching and they won't use the term masturbation but when you read that's exactly what they're talking about it looks like work sure has paid more attention to a controversial sex education consultancy than to what parents understand to be in the best interests of their children these classes go way beyond the guidance the government is producing and or effectively sexualizing very young children. however one of the people behind that schema said back insisting kids of all ages touch themselves and that this will teach them to do it appropriately and safely the program is for children aged from 6 to 10 as part of sex and relationship classes skin will 1st be rolled out at more than $240.00 schools in worksheet county in central england the goal of the all about me program is to teach topics such as
3:21 pm
personal identity the body and emotions. it's just the latest controversy over the teaching of young children in the u.k. this year parents removed more than 600 students from a burning in primary school over bt lessons the move came after protests by the parents in the predominantly muslim neighborhood in response to those rallies the school pulled the classes. first serve bring in 2 guests now human rights campaigner peter tatchell and activist. good evening to you both and welcome to the program peter 1st to you we're talking about self stimulation. discussion with 6 year olds 1st of all just tell us whether you think this is a good idea or not but also i always stealing innocence from children that young. well 1st of all let me say that unlike most people i've actually read the all about me program in 4 and i know that it was drawn up in consultation with parents
3:22 pm
teachers and pupils to answer the questions that young people often ask their teachers the purpose is to safeguard the health and welfare of young people. the issues that you have raise our tiny tiny fragment but they are about ensuring that young people do not in appropriately touch themselves or others when it's on wanted or when it's in public and it's quite right that young people should be taught that it's not appropriate to walk around the street naked or to touch their private parts in class in front of other children but the main aspect of this program is not about these issues at all it is to teach about love and relationships it teaches young people that some of them will live with a mom and dad some will live with single parents some will live with extended families with perhaps grandparents or aunts or uncles and some will live the same sex families it also teaches young people about changes their bodies will undertake
3:23 pm
during puberty so that young people are not anxious when they start developing pubic hair or in the case of girls they will not be panicked when they start to menstruate and if you love children you care about them i think you'd want your child to know about those issues it also of course talks about the importance of respecting other people's feelings so not touching them in any way that they feel uncomfortable with and the purpose of this is to ensure that young people are aware of issues like child sexual abuse so if they are being abused they will know it's wrong and there will come forward and report the abuses again every parent would want their child to know when things are inappropriate when. people whether they're young people or teachers or other adults are doing things to them the body of a sexual nature which is not right and not appropriate that is
3:24 pm
a very effective way to counter child sexual abuse and i applaud the schools who are adopting this program because i know from speaking to parents it's in the interest of the children and most parents want is ok you can see. that he does at large what he sees an awful lot of kids and. take. a look at them and they may be off a lot of positives but to be honest with you with the with the people i've spoken to with the m.p.'s that i've spoken to with the people from the christian muslim and jewish community basically they want to teach 6 year old children how to masturbate and what that what they say that is not be true you're a liar and your law points with all due respect with all due respect with all due respect i don't know what your agenda is you actually come into the category of middle aged men who are actually the majority of the u.k. paedophiles in this country and i cannot understand what your agenda is to be honest with you because parents and i've spoken to many parents from the media read
3:25 pm
this report it's absolute nonsense i think that the department for education has got this completely wrong and i feel that the edgy beatie opera that happen in bending them is only the start do you think any parent in their right mind would appreciate never mind people of faith a 6 year old 'd daughter or a 6 year old son coming home and teaching the mother and father how to masturbate it's absolute nonsense and i am all for some of the points against child abuse that should be tackled but that does not mean we start to repeal way a child's innocence you know it's not acceptable trued must be children and we must tackle an issues but not infringing on most of all parental rights and with all due respect i do not accept what you are saying in regards to. you have consulted majority of the parents because they will be an opera and i can tell you before i just quoted that it was a protest in a lose lose the majority area these protests will happen up and down the u.k.
3:26 pm
because it is not acceptable it is absolutely not acceptable and i for one cannot understand what is the what is your agenda what is your real agenda when why would you want to teach a 6 year old how to masturbate you know children innocently will touch themselves and certain places will feel pressured pleasurable but you are basically defining it to them you know when a child does that innocently it's absolutely fine the same way when a child pictures won't a mother will tell him which i would the father would tell him look this is not enough rope to get a tissue or go on a side and what you basically doing is absolutely inappropriate and i feel you are sexualizing our children to be quite honest ok this push to kill i just want to say please be very careful with the language you keep dangerously close that's a kind of equating. community with. sure that was what you intended but please be careful no i'm not i'm not i'm not yeah peter you've been very patient as you say i'm not just just just just before you finish i'm not saying the. community of
3:27 pm
loving community i'm saying this particular gentleman actually comes in the category of. european english middle aged man who fits the category of a white he's a genda l g b t people inventing all the absolutely fine even though the disagree on certain points i believe in i still love everyone equally i have never questioned the rights or wrongs of homosexuality for me this is about parental rights and parents do not want their children to. clarify that i should kill you clarify that thank you peter be very patient just give you a chance to respond to what you've heard. well of course people are noms because people like shaquille misrepresent what this program is about and the sun and mail have also misrepresented this program which is why parents are necessarily anxious the class i find it all about says it was not about if you are as you are not a baby and so on all will you please in shock doctrine that bring this on one speak
3:28 pm
we please show a bit of the light make sure all due respect i have to disagree and this one here please all you came quiet and let me speak of please show you the level of intelligence here you may deploy please just let peter respond and get and give his take on this yes yes go ahead so you can see from the viewers can see the kind of intolerance this man represents. i listen to him quietly and politely i ask that the same respect and courtesy be shown to me as i said i hope the sun and the mail newspaper which have stirred up this controversy by mr in the program will be taken to the press watch dog and find very very heavily because they're stirring up unnecessary anxiety and concerns among parents where there is no need i want to repeat these programs in these schools do not encourage advocate or promote masturbation in any way whatsoever i made it really clear i threw them into
3:29 pm
isolation the chaos let's get going usually from a peter express as i understood it you're worried about the innocence of children i mean surely people would agree the internet is done a pretty extensive job of destroying children's innocence these days is it not better that they're taught in a controlled environment by was a little well i will allow where look look are on the father myself and when you say the internet destroys its parental rights you know a parent should administer what their child is watching on the internet my daughters and my children get allocated time which i watch over them are such young ages what we're going to or why would we. no not exposed to my children are exposed to the information and the community i come from. carefully monitored we have to take out the time to nurture our children and we inform them of everything and with regards to child abuse you know there are certain initiatives where you have you know the pants rule where children are taught that their clothing is that shouldn't
3:30 pm
be touched by anybody other than you know their guardian or you know like that but this particular way of teaching and normalizing masturbation at such a age appropriateness of 6 years old is not acceptable you know parents feel that that is not an acceptable age when children you know should be living a life or innocence and you know being allowed to leave that we bring people back eliezer natural island i just want to get in the faces of peta there are these christian groups there are muslim groups many different religious areas where people object to it they feel it goes against what they're trying to instill into the children themselves do you have some sympathy for their. respective thoughts on this of course there are differing views but we know from surveys that the vast majority of parents want their children to be taught about the facts of life
