it's time to fight for the middle for the troops the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. the russian minute just state of the art album god missile system and combat duty. while the people are killed as a passenger plane crashes kazakstan moments of to takeoff and dozens more are being treated in hospital. strategic partner is iran or russia and china hold joint terror trials in the gulf of oman in a show of strength and unity. and the right activists supporting on the u.k. defense ministry to compensate sobs passing through expelled from the military because of their sexuality we got reaction to that. we need to recognize the real pain suffering that was subjected to these men and we hear this all the time

don't we from from various groups but we should treat people in the past as good years because they were less you'd like to propose. a very warm welcome this to me. you're watching out international. and stuff yourself this hour russia's state of the art talban gods hypersonic missile system and to combat duty this friday defense ministry officials have been briefing the media on the weapon which they say is capable of carrying both conventional and. today the strategic missile system entered combat duty i congratulate us on this issue which is important for the country and the armed forces. russia's defense minister may sound a little bit humble but don't be mistaken this is

a moment you mind to be tempted to call the story crushes causing a huge advantage guard hypersonic missile system is now officially deployed for combat duty so big a show you google rip. what about the president vladimir putin there's only so far about one regiment unclear when or even other russian parts will be upgraded the evan guard is a hypersonic glider that is said to be able to penetrate any those existing and prospective defenses let's take a look at some of the key features all of these truly revolutionary weaponry the oven god hypersonic vehicle can fly it up to 20 times the speed of sound an i.c.b.m. will take it to an altitude of several dozen kilometers from where it can dive head 1st back to earth a top speed with ak crop like maneuverability dodging and missile defenses in contrast when other existing ballistic missiles reenter the atmosphere they fly at a pre-set trajectory making the target for a.b.m.

systems last month russia showcased its truly top notch weaponry of unguarded mysel system to a team of u.s. military inspector is really unprecedented move they explained it was an attempt to revitalize the key new start treaty nuclear arms reduction agreement the only one left between russia and america it expires next february and theories are it may not be extended to american experts had a unique access to have been barred myself system for 2 whole days it is unclear so far how or if it influences washington's position this is what weidner putin had to say about russia's advanced weaponry and he when you should you must when you can minister to us in there today there is a unique situation in a new and contemporary history other countries now have to catch up no other country in the world has a hypersonic weapon nobody has a hypersonic weapon with a coast of really advanced weapons caused quite

a stir in washington when it was 1st announced last year but most go ease regenerated all the time that it is only looking for better relations with america especially in the face. strategic cooperation. in central asia as a passenger plane has crashed shortly after taking off from port in kazakhstan killing 12 people dozens injured including children. could review. and there you could be going to the ministry to do good but do you. believe you did not primarily would you give me good or it would only be good if you want to. see. it is that you. know you were the only thing you did. and then you did that in some way look at the reason we were just as risk. as the

shows it was a border of the people. you would use your perception they will see you look at those pictures and we realize what a tragedy it is for kazakstan only a few days before new year's eve but if there is a case in which the words good news could be appropriate after a plane crash this is the one because right now we already understand that the doctors have confirmed that the majority of the people who were on board survived which means that this couldn't have been a nose dive from a high altitude what actually happened was that this back air flight to call from the airport in almaty which is the biggest city in kazakhstan it was still dark there about 20 minutes past 7 but then quickly started losing altitude then it hit a concrete barrier before crashing into a small building this was just a 2 story building i can tell you that almost like i said it's the biggest city

it's a big metropolitan area the airport is not that far from it so there are suburban areas residential areas surrounding the airport so this is apparently where the. plane and it up the captain of the aircraft is among the dead what about the plane itself well this is a medium sized twin turbo fan short range regional jet it's called focker $100.00 it was produced by a dutch company before it went bankrupt up until 1997 but this particular plane was 23 years old so was one of the final ones to be produced by that company it's still that widely operated by 2 major airlines in australia for example as a regional jet by quantas and virgin it's also being operated by an iranian airline and back air this was actually the only type of aircraft that they have and while this is a big company in kazakstan it is the 2nd most popular domestic airline that people

use there for domestic flights to the onus now on the catholic authorities of coast to establish exactly what happened what if they don't so clearly grounded all flights by that type of aircraft and like i said just because its fleet only consists of this particular aircraft now they're out of operation for how long right now we don't know many people are still in critical condition so the doctors are fighting for their lives the president promised that those responsible for the crash will definitely be punished i can tell you that this particular airline was going through some financial difficulties lately but previous the no incidents with its aircraft had led to any kind of fatalities because that considering 2 possible reasons for the tragedy are the pilot error or a technical malfunction geoffrey thomas from great dot com gave us his thoughts on

what might have gone wrong. early indications point to 2 possible causes one is that as we can see snow sleet snow everywhere it was very very cold icing conditions and it may well have been that the plane was not correctly d.-i still not do ya asked at all and if there's a build up of ice on the wing as soon as the plane takes off you're going to have a situation where you'd hit the lift over the top of the wing the air over the top of the wing is disturbed therefore you lose lift the plane or you reach now 2 to 40 feet and then crash back to earth. and the other thing we but there's a possibility there was an engine problem we know the aircraft reached takeoff speed of about 175 miles an hour and then quickly that speak quickly to within a 2nd or 2 of takeoff back to a 148 and that's when all the data was lost. so possible engine problems

possible icing problem on the wings. headline news also iran china and russia has started a joint naval exercise from indian ocean on the gulf of oman this friday however that with the location a flashpoint between iran and the u.s. in the past somebody if there's more to the trolls than meets the eye despite what the official line is. who was part of the upcoming naval drills are aimed at deepening exchange and corporation among the names of the 3 countries on war and displays the 3 sides strong will and capabilities to jointly maintain world peace and maritime security while actively building a maritime community with a shared future. this isn't just a military exercise it's a it's a political statement the strait of hormuz is the world's most important oil artery a 5th of oil flows through it 21 percent. global supply every day

it's a crazy amount and as with oil the strait is highly flammable we begin with this dramatic escalation of tension between iran and the west for serious provocation tonight in the strait of hormuz after iran seized a british tanker iran seizing control of a british oil tanker u.k. is accusing iranian boats of trying to intercept a british oil tanker and they seem to be no end to this escalation washington and everyone with a warship war regiment to spare seem to be rushing into the persian gulf i mean wasn't the nicest neighborhood to begin with what with saudi arabia and iran mortal enemies facing off across the top of channels and when it seemed like things couldn't get worse they did.

the attack was launched from the north and was in question a response of by iran amid all the calls for deescalation iran has now launched an unprecedented attack on the world's energy supply. having failed at max pressure secretary principi is turning to max to seek blaming iran won't end disgust or right at the edge of the precipice cooler heads prevailed things calm down somewhat everyone's fingers still in the trigger but it's more a diplomatic battle now for example trump still pressing on with his sanctions trying to force iran to abide by a nuclear deal that trump himself pulled out of big protest in iran as well helped along by washington.

the exercise is officially unrelated to this crisis it's an anti pirate an anti terror drill it's also a very clever move by iran pressured and threatened as it is by america the ron decided to cool has some friends apparently for a friendly sale together china and russia the 2nd and 3rd most powerful militaries in the world as i said pretty clever. i dunno wide ranging interview with our tirant chief foreign policy adviser has spoken defiantly about how his country is coping under the strain of u.s. functions russia is our strategic partner our relations are very dynamic developing is a bilateral regional and international partnership currently there are no relations between iran and the u.s. iran's representatives will not negotiate with the americans until the u.s. rejoins the p 5 plus one group we've been living on the u.s. sanctions for 40 years now from time to time they would ease the sanctions then

crank them up again however iran has learned to adopt to get round the sanctions you'll need more than just sanctions to subdue such a big and powerful nation is a wrong it has sea and land borders with a total length of more than 8000 kilometers and it borders on 15 countries we have already experienced all kinds of sanctions both before and after the war with iraq we know how to run our country despite any american sanctions you're watching r t still had the program kicked out of the british military for being gay now there's a push for compensation it's our next story in a minute. same hammer i can use to smash someone's head is the same hammer i can use to build them a home but that's a human choosing what to do with that that's me expressing my values for the tool and that's what we need to do with artificial intelligence as well.

as you'll be a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe from. the isolation community. are you going the right way or are you being led so. direct. what is true what is faith. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. aura made in the shallowness.

welcome back rights activists in britain now calling on the defense ministry to compensate more than 150 people who say they were expelled from the military because of their sexuality l.g. bt campaigners say that the armed forces part of policy of discrimination did untold damage to the lives of many service personnel and the victims must receive redress. many people suffered horribly on the officially sanctioned discrimination and persecution as a result of the ban on bt plus people in the armed forces the emerald he has been far too slow to offer proper pull edges and recompense for their suffering ministers should be doing all they can to put this right gay people. in the british armed forces until the european court of human rights ruled the policy on lawful in 2000 since then the committee has paid out $4000000.00 pounds in compensation and

says it has settled a 51 cases of discrimination over 100 other claims have either been rejected or withdrawn l.g. bt activists insist that many more military personnel are likely to have been affected by the baton meeting a british rights campaign a plea to tatchell says thousands of gay people were forced out of the military between the late 1940 s. and the turn of the century in the eighty's he says as many as 300 people were kicked out each year because of their sexuality in many cases this had a severe impact on service members' lives that nobody does except that the policy was unjust. we are aware of fewer than 200 cases in which individuals may have been dismissed on the grounds of their sexuality although we accept that there may be cases that aren't known about we accept our policy in respect of serving homosexuals in the military was wrong discriminatory and unjust to the individuals

involved be to tap to who i mentioned just a moment ago an entree wark a new york observer columnist and political commentator gave us that reaction to the topic. we need to recognize the real pain suffering that was subjected to these men they not only lost their job and their income but because they are in the forces they lost their forces accommodation their home they also lost their pension rights and many of their friends at the time the law of the law and gay people for being in the military there are similar rules that ban people being in the military for a variety of reasons medical conditions what have you thrown out the purpose of the armed forces to protect and defend the united kingdom that is their primary role they were not bad soldiers otherwise perfect service records but of course some of the people who signed up didn't realize they were gay when they enlisted their only realized much later on in their career and it would be very very perverse to punish

people on the basis that they should have known they were gay back when they signed up when they were 1617 or 18 years old but we hear this all the time don't we for various groups that we should treat people in the past as idiots because they were less in lights and those what is going to be difficult here is if it's so at some point in the future we change our opinion then we're suddenly compensating people from the past are my concern is there any organization or group or political view might be able to come forward in the future and attempt to sue or get compensation out of the british government so i think it is fair and reasonable to say that these men do deserve compensation commensurate with the suffering and injustice that they serve the numbers currently under compensation is tiny indeed a tiny fraction of the numbers who were victimized by this unjust law what we need is a military that is capable of fighting with the commanders not politicians or gay rights

activists to decide who military personnel are and how they're deployed. mexico claims it's observed a heightened not. police and security agents around the city of la pass in bolivia describing it as a siege it also says it's going to file a complaint against interim government at the international court of justice in the hague. we are addressing the entire international community because not even join the worst moments of the military coups of the 19 seventies and 19 eighties was the integrity of mexican embassy buildings or residences ever put at risk. the mexican foreign ministry claims the number of security agents started to increase on tuesday and comes off to the country gave refuge to a group of politicians loyal to ousted president evo morales but libya's foreign minister however says that it was actually the mexican ambassador who requested more security she also says mexico will have to retract the accusations. you're

going see it ok i consider it illegal for the city because no one can file a lawsuit based on unproven facts of presumptions from the mexican foreign ministry . a political analyst we spoke to believes that bolivia's new government is trying to put pressure on anyone that supports evo morales. every country is bound to protect i respect every diplomatic representation in every country the assumption very clear under international law so in that sense makes it go it's correct where he's breaking the law he did not we were trying to put pressure on any country that would support evo morales for supporting. the government. to pee or prevent any possibility that morales supporters not only can win the next election but any possibility of more lives coming bug metric or supported morale is because they are on the say we're all related in relation to most 3 what is really

a democracy morale is stopped being a precedent because we could have our mexico he's against that could it entirely. and as that develops a rebellious rural province and central bolivia is continuing to take a stand against the interim government which if used as illegitimate. ok i'm i'm. done but any of those 50 needles the police injured so many erected so many after the coup because that's why as many as 400 were injured and between 141500 arrested . but i get what i see now is to have some unity and agreement from fellow tell us

you know rather than just receiving suggestion these people having candidates appointed for about i'm going to have to as well chinese restaurant special give some names like i mean and then have our official candidate to be our representative and president of the multinational state to get a little. closer look at the. data. and to chat about it because the rule of law must be extended to every corner of all country we cannot allow our public with the knowledge territory the union polices neither legal not constitutional. cop cars. clothes out of the police will not enter the tropical cochabamba will stand up and confront them we're not going to sit around with our arms crossed. we're not going to leave people on their own over christmas and new year because it

will be standing firm we'll be ready for any conflict that comes our way ship cochabamba. the resistance. regions. and they've established in autonomy defended in eternity i missed this right. u.s. . libya who governments not only employed by the its own popular across libya because it is not repeat the 99.9 percent of libya it only represents more stratum . of the region there is resistance there a lot of pressure to rid their resistance. to. who is a great. police and military. so

turning. and before we wrap up some breaking news this hour wiki leaks has published more internal documents from the international chemical weapons watchdog the o.p.c. w consigning and allowed to core an attack on the syrian city of last april the release contains a number of potential revelations it would appear for instance that a senior official ordered the didn't often and should never report which was at odds with the organizations findings from the. internal database another document claims that the symptoms observed in victims were not consistent with exposures to chlorine costing father doubts on the organizations final report the attack was blamed up the time on the syrian government and it was used as a pretext by by the west to conduct strikes will of course update you as we get more details. that's how the news around the world is looking to check out r.t.

dot com for more on these and many many more stories up next it's so fun co. my name is sucking on the world social media just jack see what i don't see it's. a political order you know if you. want to know where you got it. to cause these pollutes the movement you will not see skits and i use i don't seek to make anybody see i had no food to meet school on drugs used to people. who scruples who comes to clubs during his childhood he said if the. music.

is because he makes me copy i love he dies because he meets me and stopped playing . and when you get to. me i'm down as it is because it's part of my last. love cigar. i doubt. but there's. no room largo and. my name is drawn more than i was for the imprisoned by the regime my life. case to grab some media attention and it's a shooting in a 16 year old's 16th birthday party. so i think the police tell

a lot of pressure to. close. the case. for you. just. go. you know so far they are all for the shooting war with the search and all the shooting because i was standing right next to. me for these people and you go see them are the ones who do 1617 years old so. you could lose. his fear of 3. or more. will know the truth. is like the child in the room it's impulsivity it's narcissism it's us versus them

it's fear the prefrontal cortex is empathy it's compassion it's thinking about the future in terms of what we do today that's where we need to make our decisions based from from the prefrontal cortex unfortunately when we eat the modern diet of our planet or when we watch the news or we spend too much time online we lock in to be a make believe we lock in to the child in the room and we're not able to make good decisions.

intelligence maybe just around the corner raising fears that we could one day end up being the pets. what can we do to avoid it well i asked an inventor hacker and technology feature east. baba's holman welcome to the show it's great to have you in our program so. i'll just start off with something that you've sat many times that robots are coming for our jobs so will this happen in my lifetime should i be afraid at some you know self perfecting thing would be sitting where i'm sitting right now and doing my job better than i'm doing oh you might not get so lucky but you know a lot of jobs i think robots are going to have really take i mean that's pretty clear but it's also been happening for your whole lifetime already so it's not really new it's just that the robots are getting better at doing things that they

weren't able to do before we've been experiencing up for a century. so the court a question is is there going to be a time in the near future i'm saying 10 maybe 20 years where. everything that we do pretty much will be done better by the robots and we will be jobless. no i don't think we're anywhere close to that right because there's you know different kinds of things the humans are good for different kinds of things that robots are good for and right now. you know for our lives we've been a good at making robots do you know sort of very clear clearly structured logical progression right like you can have a robot do the same thing over and over and over again what they were good at is doing things where you know the.
