12:02 pm
talked straight away didn't he about iran's potential for developing nuclear weapons what with the k. points as well as that one well it is an odd way to begin and he seems to have jumped to that before he even gave his greeting which is quite an interesting way to begin the presentation what many people have noted is that donald trump doesn't seem to have been laying out any real retaliation for iran's recent attack on u.s. bases in iraq he doesn't seem to be saying the united states is planning to strike back or laying out a following move that will take place now he did emphasize that there would be continued sanctions against iran and there would be a conversation about what sanctions and deterring what he referred to as iran's aggression this is what he did say not a clear call for retaliation for. as we continue to evaluate options in response to a rain in aggression the united states will immediately impose additional punishing
12:03 pm
economic sanctions on the iranian regime these powerful saying shoes will remain until or and changes its behavior. and now during his remarks trump defended his decision to kill qassam solomonic and argued that qassam solomonic was responsible for the deaths of u.s. troops in iraq and elsewhere and said it was the right decision to take this move also made reference to protests taking place throughout iran many observers wonder if he seems to have that confused with the fact that iran streets have been filled in the last few days but with people protesting trump's killing of solomonic there's been quite a bit of anger and outpouring and grieving and mourning and anger at the united states and iran lately one wonders if trump seems to have confused that with antigovernment protests in iran or something to that effect regardless trump did
12:04 pm
end his remarks by saying that the defeat of isis was good for iran and saying that the united states and iran should cooperate against isis terrorism now in addition to that trump emphasized that strength from the united states was the best deterrent to aggression and terror. he laid out overall defense of his recent decision to kill solomonic but many are wondering what exactly is coming next trump didn't clearly lay out any following steps other than this big reference to sanctions so many people wonder what exactly these remarks from trump who didn't seem as bold and fired up as he often is when talking to the media people wonder what this could mean for the following days and for the following weeks ok thanks a force from new york thank you were from the sponsors come after iran dozens of bodies to get to u.s. military bases in iraq during
12:05 pm

12:10 pm
ministry says that there were no survivors the moments of the crash was captured on video. while boeing be ukranian boeing 737 took off from the capital tehran here. at 6 12 am local time and it was bound for the ukrainian capital. and just a few minutes around 10 minutes after taking off crashed and reports show that. images of footage showing 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. 176 people on board died there were people of 7 different nationalities on board that in their liner ukrainian president vladimir.
12:11 pm
has cut short a visit to our mantra returned to kiev on his facebook page expressed his condolences to the relatives of the victims here's an eyewitness account of the plane crash. they're moving to 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 hit residential houses the plane crash landed in largely park and destroyed the fence of a football pitch and then it took off again and exploded and was completely incinerated i mean more grieving relatives have been gathering international airport where flight 775 c. was heading people are mourning the dead and waiting for any further information about the disaster is what the father of one of the crew members had to say. things that are somewhat true my oldest son is the steward my daughter called me from the u.s. she told me that the ukrainian aircraft crashed she asked where eagle flew i said to ron when i saw the video of the plane crash. with more now on the crashes don't
12:12 pm
quarter. 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 mid flight a lot of ukrainians to to sions 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 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
12:13 pm
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 isn't 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 flaw in the boeing 737800 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
12:14 pm
information in regards to this crash but other than that we haven't heard much. and his to his counterpart have officially launched the turks stream natural gas pipeline we'll have a look at that story in more detail this to you just after the break. you know world big partisan movie lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now we're watching closely watching the hawks.
12:15 pm
what politicians do something. they put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. for something i want to. let you go right to be close this is what the 43 of them all can people get. interested always in the why is it that. they sit. out again now let's turn to to can because it's in and his turkish counterpart recep tayyip erdogan have officially launched the turks stream natural gas pipeline
12:16 pm
the project will supply the turkish and easy 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 russia charkhi well gary 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 north string 2. there was a thorny path now because of the latest round of american sanctions there was a pause and it's construction but i can tell you that washington was keen to rail
12:17 pm
turkey stream as well however because of personal commitment by vladimir putin and thai paired to one 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 talked about during the opening ceremony because the relations between russia into the clear developing in practically sphere is just going to be a difficult situation in the world and efforts by some exertional players 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 a turkish 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
12:18 pm
italy but the 1st countries to receive russian nat. well gas through the turkish tree 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 the slides will be able to deliver more than 30000000000 cubic meters of natural gas again directly from the russian port city of a knob up to the shores of turkey and then further on to europe europe are trying to there in istanbul for us what we discussed in the significance of the launch with aka us already was initially starting from the late ninety's was to have diverse patient off road sources as regards. energy supplies because it's important for turkey as we are not just with you since so this to extreme
12:19 pm
replace the western pipeline. it will pump more than we have received so far from the us and by by one u.s. soldier to say that's clear on various occasions that they were paid they were not happy about this that the church they wanted north to the americans would like also to sell their own gas and the form of identity that they have a huge capacity so far that. they would like to suffer from now this isn't the 1st time turkey's been threatened with sanctions by the united states as we know with the russian air ban system that turkey purchased america threatened the turks with katz's sanctions but turkey went ahead with the deal and 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 any type of sanctions threats coming out of the united states energy
12:20 pm
security is an important part of the national security portfolio and what this project gives turkey is a solid proof here and for the foreseeable future. well also during the meeting the leaders of russia and turkey did call for an end to hostilities in libya the warring sides there in the conflict to reach a ceasefire by january 12th we call on all parties to declare a sustainable cease fire supported by the necessary measures to be taken for stabilizing the situation on the ground and normalizing daily life in tripoli and other cities the country has been in a state of war since protests in 2011 and yachting of the country's leader moammar gadhafi most of libya is currently controlled by generally for hafter and the libyan national army backed by moscow while turkey has stood behind the un backed government which is in charge of a fraction of the war torn country last month requested military aid from ankara to
12:21 pm
counter the general's forces deployment approved last the day by the turkish government let's get reaction now from political analyst chris bambery who joins us the saving a very welcome as always chris good to see you again this number. is ambitious isn't it this did you hope to have a ceasefire within a few days do you think it might actually happen. i think it's very difficult given the state libya is in because yes the main conflict has been used to put your package saves but it's more complicated of forces that work almost of isis walgett warlords it's a very complex picture and the u.s. government is no essentially only high in all and of course still strip of the country has very little control and has the capital yesterday but very little else is just lost the major city of sirte so i don't see the other side.
12:22 pm
appearing to the edge of victory backing off necessarily here but on the other hand we desperately need peace since 2011 and if you remember david cameron from britain in the course of causey from france going to celebrate the overthrow of the killing of gadhafi will be a has descended into a war zone and the people of libya deserve peace so letters fop that this deal can be pulled off to give the long suffering people with the peace talking positively about it do you think the russia and turkey wouldn't have announced this if there was no hope i mean the must be a lot going on behind the scenes to you would issuing how much weight do you think that russia and turkey actually have in libya. i think russia and turkey have some sway i think couper the government in tripoli turkey are no really the only backers but it's also important to see that egypt and behind them so do rebel are also major in this supporting the other site and i don't know how much control.
12:23 pm
how much attention there will be to a deal brokered between russia and toki given the antagonism exists particularly with so. there's another complicating factor in here it's been you know saudi money gyptian military cooperation which is be fueling that war and the takeover of much of the country so far and of course we have mentioned a that it intends to send its troops to the region to think that that might make all sides think again about the conflict if you think it will actually fuel hostilities. i hope that i took a look at this because really i think that when a bit of a hiding to nothing here unless they're seriously talking or committing major forces to try and bail at the government in tripoli which no seems to be on its last legs so i think they may be looking at this and realizing they're potentially being drawn into something far bigger than golf or so i hope ankara is looking at
12:24 pm
this and drawing back back from this as well and i think it's important given what else has happened in this emerging friendship between turkey and russia is a genuine one as we've seen and therefore it's possible this actually that strength of that friendship could bring about the success of this deal and i'm not absolutely sure as you see things will be going on behind the scenes but i think more school ankara must be very keen to pull this off otherwise they wouldn't have come out and say it in such a short space of time we want peace in libya just quickly what are the prospects of . you know just over the last few minutes we've said that many many plays are involved many different interests how can you get them all to agree to stop fighting. well if we could stop if russian turkey of could insist than a cease fire up between the 2 major force is involved in the civil war that would be excellent in we've other elements in libya who unreconciled but then the could
12:25 pm
possibly dealt with so if russian turkey can pull off a cease fire then that would be a major elements in hero there's of said there are many difficulties we cause of the international elements different countries involved and because of the sheer chaos into which libya has descended since 2011 as a consequence of western intervention there ok chris late we got to leave it then i suppose he has chris bambery at political and this thank you and thank you for watching just coming up top hostile to the evening here in moscow we're back again at the top here. so they started inflation 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
12:26 pm
have stagflation because wages are too high but sense 2000 and getting even more pronounced since 2008 we have 2 separate economies there are 5 for kate it 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 any. good food descriptions sound up to tell using even for the owners so how to choose this bad food industry is telling us what to feed our pets really more based on what they want to sell us then what's necessarily good for the pet turns out to put food may not be as healthy as people believe and we had animals that have you know diabetes in arthritis and they have auto immune disorders they've got allergies we
12:27 pm
are actually creating these problems it's a huge epidemic of problems all of them i believe can be linked to very simple problem of diet and some dog owners so heartbreaking stories about their pets streets 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. if you want to know what's going with know that you see a series of attacks so much higher real that your face pushes you to analyze it again to the plot of sit your speech my last fall for the day like it or not i got tablets of his colleagues but at least i'm in the book now free to everything else just going on this world but now you know it opened up the opened up to start to put. on. greetings and salutations you know
12:28 pm
