11:02 am
was was. the most all strikes happened at exactly the same time of night as the assassination officer mani 5 days earlier and the secretary of iran's supreme national security council tweeted this image of the iranian flag and that's an apparent reference to trying to tweet the us flag just after the drone strike that killed solomonic the iranian president has laid out what we're venger against the us would mean exactly. the revenge is to fuels america out of this region the real revenge and response by regional nations is going america is expelled from this region and its hand of aggression is qatar for . here's what is middle east correspondent paula slew with more. well we recently just heard from the iranian revolutionary guards and i must stress
11:03 am
that it's i'm confirmed but they've issued a statement in which they say that 80 soldiers have been killed and some 200 have been injured at the one american base that was hit in the early hours of this morning but we are receiving conflict reports we've heard from the pentagon that none of its soldiers were killed and as for the other foreign countries that are also taking place in the coalition against islamic state we've heard from norway denmark australia and the united kingdom all of whom had soldiers at this base said that was hit in the early hours of this morning with these countries saying that they soldiers are safe we are hearing also from the iraqi military that there are no casualties so at this stage of the mains to be seen exactly how many if any soldiers were injured this morning the iranians say that they are. fired off some $22.00 ballistic missiles the target was to bases to iraqi bases where these fallen troops are currently employed the one base in the north of the country did not receive any damage the missiles landed in
11:04 am
a nearby field but it was this other base just outside baghdad that has seen some extensive damage the operation has been dubbed mata solem and we have however heard from the country's foreign minister zarif who has justified the iranian strike saying that they are proportionate they are in line with the u.n. charter a clause that allows of course for self-determination and that he ran does not want to escalate and see a confrontation with the united states but that it will defend itself if it has to . run to conclude it proportionate measures in self-defense under article $51.00 of you and charter targets from base from which coldly armed attack against our citizens and senior officials were launched we do not seek escalation or war but will defend ourselves against any aggression the iranian revolutionary guard defending it said to earlier issued a statement in which it said that it would retaliate even further if the united states or any of its allies in the middle east respond to
11:05 am
a strikes early this morning we warned the great satan the arrogant american regime that any further malice or mobilization will result in a more painful response. our eyes of the u.s. government which have given their bases to the terrorist army of that country are warned that any territory used for hostile acts against iran will be targeted now we're starting to hear reaction from the international community india and pakistan have both exercised or called for extreme caution urging the citizens there to avoid non essential travel to while the philippines has now started a mandatory. evacuation of its citizens and the united kingdom has condemned iran urging u.n. not to repeat what a course of reckless and dangerous attacks the on going on concern of course is that the situation could escalate and we could see a potential showdown between some of the major powers here in the region. the
11:06 am
killing of customs the money has shocked iranians with some expressing happiness that this retaliation the iraqi prime minister claims the money was on a diplomatic mission just before he was killed here is what people on the streets of tehran had to say so myself. i'm very happy with what the i.r.g.c. did today was one of my best days and i hope this will continue i think this was the 1st move to show iran's power when i heard the news of iran's revenge for india sasa nation and. i was very happy we will be able to take revenge for all the martyrs and gen so money god willing. which happened we support it and we would like to see that this is only the beginning of. the russian and turkish leaders have released a joint statement saying that they are against foreign military intervention or actions in iran however some countries around the world expressed concern that the rounds would tell it to attack could further destabilize the region of appeal for
11:07 am
dialogue. i think we have a great deal of success in bringing together a european response and in bridging that the european response without of course of our american friends working both with the iranians and with the iraqis to dial this thing down the country is deeply affects not only the region but all of us and the use of weapons must stop now to give space to dialogue. is a. step that is complete. it's. the u.s. federal aviation agency has banned all the u.s. flights over the persian gulf over security concerns previously trump threatened to strike 52 iranian sites if it was highly rated in any way but so far washington's response has been somewhat muted with donald trump tweeting so far so good. all is
11:08 am
well missiles launched from iran a 2 military bases located in iraq assessment of casualties and damage is taking place now so far so good we have the most powerful and well equipped military anywhere in the world by far i will be making a statement to morrow morning and she studied the iranian parliament on a mostly pass the bill that classifies the u.s. armed forces as a terror organization tensions in the middle east have soared in just the past week .
11:09 am
i am. i. sure. it lee. i mean all these are pictures from the state funeral of the slain major general he was buried in his hometown there's been an outpouring of grief across iran with solomon he's killing viewed as the death of a national hero at least $56.00 people were killed after being crushed in the crowd during tuesday's funeral procession for 2 decades to lamont he served as the
11:10 am
commander of iran's kurds force which is the external wing of the islamic revolutionary guard he played a crucial role in iran's military decision making process and helped expand iran's role in the middle east we spoke to middle east experts about recent developments dangers that. the was in my opinion very humiliating strike for the americans because the u.s. military was unable to intercept even a single iranian missile even though this was an airbase usually the defense systems and an air base especially in a war zone are extraordinarily good and the americans obviously must have been waiting for something so it shows about our ability of the us in iraq against the iranian strike we definitely are both sides to this charade there's no further need for any further bloodshed i
11:11 am
think both made their points both parties should exercise self-restraint as much as possible this is volatile. we have many targets that could be turned into a major war that engulfs the region in chaos. the route for international oil crude oil passes through this area there is no need for further escalation in the price of oil that will definitely cause a worldwide recession. we think that enough life has been lost in this matter and we definitely has an iraq invasion and government we would like both sides to seize says' to seize and stop any type of aggression on each other twice more of talking of a diplomatic. convoy that was traveling towards iraq to deliver
11:12 am
a message which was under international law illegal unter iraqi law it was illegal and and every other and level of legality in the international arena when within the un charter as well was illegal it was an act of terrorism this is how it's defined by law. ok take a look at that scene right there might not look too exciting but it isn't significant seeing because that's where donald trump is expected to appear any moment now to talk about the u.s. reaction to those would tell a tree it raining strikes all military bases that contained u.s. personally could appear any moment stay with artie's coverage. so these terms inflation and deflation they tend to hand the connection between the finance economy and the real economy and sometimes the finance economy gets out of hand and you have crashes and sometimes the real economy gets out of hand then you
11:13 am
have stagflation because wages are too high but sense 2000 and getting even more pronounced since 2008 we have 2 separate economies there. there's the privately owned central banks who print money for private the top 110th of one percent of private citizens and then we have the surf class or the neo feudal class and these 2 don't interact and. join me every thursday on the alex simon sure when i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics or business i'm show business i'll see you then.
11:14 am
welcome back another major story that broke today in that tragedy struck in the capital of iran when a ukrainian airlines passenger jet crashed minutes after taking off the ukrainian interior ministry says that there would no survivors in the moments of that crash was captured on video. while boeing be ukrainian boeing 737 took off from the capital tehran here. at 6 12 am local time and it was bound for the ukrainian capital kiev and just a few minutes around 10 minutes after taking off crashed and reports show that the
11:15 am
we with steve images and footage showing the the plane crashing while in fire and the crash site is reportedly around 30 kilometers west of the one in a district called shot we are. well people have 7 different nationalities on board the doomed liner ukrainian president vladimir the lecky has cut short a visit to amman to return to kiev on his facebook page to express his condolences to the relatives of the victims here's an eyewitness account of the plane crash. involving the right side of the airplane and one end of it were completely on fire and i think the pilot made a great effort not to residential houses the plane crash landed in largely park and destroyed the fence before then it took off again and exploded and was completely incinerated. grieving relatives have been gathering at international airport where flight 752 was holding people mourning the dead there waiting for any further information about the disaster is what the father of one of the crew members.
11:16 am
my oldest son is stupid my daughter called me from the us she told me that the ukrainian aircraft crashed where we go through i said. then i saw the video of the plane crash. i see correspondent doubled quarter brings us the latest about the crash. now iranian media had been reporting for a long time that that there were technical problems that brought the plane down and we also heard from an airport representative that a fire occurred on board the plane in the engine made flight a lot of ukrainian institutions were quick to give their responses we've heard from the country's national security and defense council which said that they will be organizing an operational headquarters to gather more information and get to the bottom of what caused these this crash in the 1st place as for ukrainian international airlines they said that they will not be having any more flights to tehran until further notice and even president vladimir said that there is going to
11:17 am
be an inspection of the countries of the country's entire civil fleet including a probe into the crash itself this plane is the boeing 737800 the model itself is relatively older than the more recent models but the plane that crashed itself was only built back in 2016 so the plane itself was quite quite new only about 4 years old but this model has actually had its share of crashes over the past couple years in 2016 for example over 60 people were killed in the crash where the plane was coming from dubai on route to russia and in 2010 another similar crash in india that killed over $150.00 people again same model and this is an even the newer boeing $737.00 max model which was also grounded about a year ago for its own series of crashes now it's still you know tough to say it's not it's not clear whether or not this crash was the result of some sort of design
11:18 am
flaw in the boeing 7. the 7800 but airline officials have said that this crash mostly likely did not happen as a result of some sort of mistake made by the pilots they were very experienced and knew what they were doing as for boeing the company said that it's still gathering information in regards to this crash but other than that we haven't heard much. in our attention to turkey now where in and is to. have officially launched the stream natural gas pipeline the project will supply the turkish and e.u. markets with russian gas. i guess it is time to say happy new stream because the project has been a launch the official ceremony i was there for and i heard a massive round of applause and it was actually done by the leaders of 4 countries
11:19 am
russia tarr key belgariad and serbia and just how well things seem to be go and with the turkish frame which is going through the waters of the black sea i guess it is fair to say that it's kind of a compensation for all the trouble with a different project which is called nord string 2. there was a thorny path now because of the latest round of american sanctions there was a pause and its construction but i can tell you that washington was keen to rail turkey a stream as well however because of personal commitment by vladimir putin and type aired on this commitment did show that when 2 major leaders team up to somehow oppose u.s. pressure that could lead to real success stories and this is exactly what mr putin
11:20 am
talked about during the opening ceremony because the relations between russia and to the developing in practically sphere is just going to be a difficult situation in the world and actions by some eggs national plays to prevent the expansion of mutually beneficial cooperation between our countries. well let me just give you some of the specific details about the pipeline itself turkey stream consists of 2 lines one is intended for consumers in turkey the other one goes to southern europe it could be extended to as far as austria or italy but the 1st countries to receive russian now. well gas through turkey astri will be buggy area serbia and then like i said extensions are possible so the sea distance of that pipeline is some 900 kilometers and what's really important here and really impressive is the capacity because both these lines will be able to deliver more
11:21 am
than 30000000000 cubic meters of natural gas again directly from the russian port city of a knob to the shores of turkey and then further on to europe. we discussed the significance of the launch with our guests. was initially starting from the late ninety's was to have diverse geisha of fruits sources as you guys. energy supplies because it's important for turkey as we are not just producers so this church tree replace the western pipe like. it will pump for us then we have received so far from the west pipeline with us or towards use waited to clear it on various occasions that they were they they were not happy about the establishment of the church the one north to the americans would like also to sell their oil you guys and the former fed energy and they have a huge capacities over there. and they would like to sell
11:22 am
a few to us from now this is the 1st time turkey's been threatened with sanctions by the united states as we know with the russian air defense system that turkey purchased america threatened the turks with katz's sanctions but turkey went ahead with the dealing now it's going to be operational in april according to the chairman of the turkish the bents industries show so the turks have showed that they're willing to stick to their guns when it comes to matters of national security it looks like the turks will go ahead with this despite anything but sanctions threats coming out of the united states energy security is an important part of the national security portfolio and what this project gives turkey is a solid troop pyramid for the foreseeable future. ok so that is the same there are big screen at the white house right now donald trump is officially 22 minutes and 41 seconds later then the time now when he does a rife we will interrupt our programming and go live to it let's make
11:23 am
a deal if it happens sometime and around the next 15 minutes i will still be here if it's later than that and who farm will be here not see nicky aaron he's going to stay you and her along or i'll be a man ok. stay with. reality has mandates of its own that go beyond what our wishes and preferences are. and our utopian visions maybe we're going to get a new deal but it may not be the green new deal that people are expecting will get the green new deal that we have we deserve rather think we are going to get a green new deal because the green you're dealing compass is things beyond just what infrastructure health care is in that new deal there are other elements if you go back 20 started in 2006 that we are going to get and that are popular in this country.
11:24 am
good food descriptions sound up the tasing even for the owners so how to choose just pet food industry is telling us what to feed our pets really more based on what they want to sell us than was necessarily good for the pet turns out to pick food may not be as healthy as people believe and we have animals that have you know diabetes in arthritis they have auto immune disorders allergies we are actually creating these problems it's a huge epidemic of problems all of them i believe can be linked to fairy simple problem of diet and some dog owners so heartbreaking stories about their pets less treats the larger corporations are not very interested in proving or disproving the value of their food because they're already making it a $1000000000.00 on it and there's no reason to do that research. it is

physics physics is nothing but the harmony created on vibrating strings that is chemistry chemistry is the melody. the melodies you can play on strings what is the universe the universe is assumed many of strings. so they started inflation and deflation they tend to hint at the connection between the finance economy and the real economy and sometimes a finance economy gets out of hand and you have crashes and sometimes the real economy gets out of hand and you have stagflation because wages are too high by the sense 2000 and getting even more pronounced since 2008 we have 2 separate economies air bifurcated there's the privately owned central banks to print money for private the top 110th of one percent a private citizens and then we have the surf class or the nail feudal class

11:29 am
prepared for anything iran appears to be standing down. which is a good thing for all parties concerned and a very good thing for the world. no american or iraqi lives were lost because of the precautions taken the dispersal of forces and an early warning system that worked very well i salute the incredible skill and courage of america's men and women in uniform for far too long all the way back to 1979 to be exact nations have tolerated iran's destructive and destabilizing behavior in the middle east and beyond. those days are over iran has been the leading sponsor of terrorism and their pursuit of nuclear weapons threatens the civilized world we will never let that happen
