president donald trump responds to iran's retaliate 3 attacks on u.s. military bases promising new sanctions. on iran strikes happened in the early hours of wednesday with dozens of missiles raining down on 2 u.s. bases in iraq in response to the assassination of terrans top general. meanwhile ukraine's interior ministry confirms that all 176 people on board a ukrainian airlines plane that crashed into iran were killed. and a lot of it putin and president other one officially north of the turks stream and natural gas pipeline the project will supply the turkish and even markets with russian gas.

hello you're watching r.t. international i'm rosana la quinta thank you for joining us. now iran's envoy to the un has said the country is not planning any more attacks against the u.s. as long as washington refrained from further aggression he also said to ron's revenge for the death of its top general has been fulfilled after last month's miss all strikes on 2 u.s. bases in iraq president earlier responded to the strikes by promising new sanctions . as we continue to evaluate options in response to a rain in aggression the united states will immediately impose additional punishing economic sanctions on the iranian regime. these powerful saying shoes will remain until are and changes its behavior. the reigning operation was carried out in revenge for the u.s. drone strike that killed major general salim on the last week. on trump's address

to the nation. it's quite a different tone than we've heard from trump in the last few days folks will remember the tweet where he threatened to destroy not only sites in iran but also cultural historical sites as well as other infrastructure and such in iran if iran dared to respond so quite a different tone we heard from donald trump what's also quite interesting is trump he seems to have talked about continuing the sanctions against iran didn't specify however that the usa intended any retaliatory strikes for iran's recent move and he also brought up the issue of iran's nuclear capacity and allegations of iran's nuclear proliferation the iran nuclear deal which didn't seem to be related to the current controversy let's take a listen as long as i'm president of the united states iran will never be allowed to have a nuclear weapon. good morning the time has come for the united kingdom

germany france russia and china to recognize this reality. they must now break away from the remnants of the urine do you who are j c p o way trump emphasized his opposition to the j c.p.o. a nuclear deal and was calling for different parties around the world to withdraw from it he saw it as a bad deal but he also seemed to indicate that he would be open to some kind of new nuclear conclusion or nuclear negotiation regarding the islamic republic and its nuclear energy program furthermore trump didn't shy away from praising u.s. military equipment and weapons and he spoke of them in rather glowing terms let's take a listen to that our missiles are big powerful accurate lethal and fast under construction or many hypersonic missiles the fact that we have this great

military equipment however does not mean we have to use it we do not want to use it and now many observers have commented on trump's demeanor and how he seemed to be lacking a lot of the boldness and bluster for which is supporters like him for and have praised him for and it's also noting interesting that trump mentioned that isis and the defeat of isis was a good thing for iran and left an opening for the u.s. and iran to cooperate against the i still terrorist so quite an interesting change in tone many people wondering if this will in fact lead to a further deescalation of events but at the moment things have been known to change rather quickly all eyes are still on iran and on washington to see what the next move will be well the speech comes off the tensions in the middle east sorted in the past week let's look back quickly at how things escalated.

oh mom mom dad. you. know.

the u.s. house of representatives is jus to vote on thursday on whether to limit trump's ability to use military force against iran and we also former u.s. congressman ron paul and middle east analyst ahmed rushdie about the risks of an all out conflict. it's not totally unlike trump you know to make a lot of noise and then i get people all excited and stir things up and then then back off a bit because i think basically i'm hoping anyway that he doesn't enjoy killing people and perp right provoking wars but we still have our problems because he still has too many neo cons to run them to try to aggravate things and make things work but i wish we could be reassured that peace has broken out because there's too many problems there and i just think that the solution is something i suggested before it started it is don't go in and says we've been and i say come home and iraqis ask us to leave and i think we should leave but as long as we have this

monstrosity of an embassy and in. iraq it's just going to print be provoking you know people to attack us so i it claims that he went in there and killed killed the later because he wanted to stop a war and of course i lean toward a fact acting like that is more likely to start a war which i would like to make sure that we don't get into a real hot war but what prism trump said it looks like that he is actually deescalating the tone about threatening iran because he said previously is that america will bomb by about $52.00 sites $52.00 locations was $51.00 locations that it's supposed to be inside iran if anything's happened to any kind of americans in the whole world so this time he looks more calm he actually focus on some sort of

more sanctions more economical sanctions. he talks also about he talked also about the nuclear deal and making new nuclear deal sure that trump is actually pushing for a new. negotiations between iran and the u.s. and also between iran and the allies of us. well just hours after iran more shows missile strikes ukrainian passenger jet crashed in tehran killing all 176 people on board the moment it burst into flames was captured on video. the ukrainian president vladimir selenski has cut short a visit to a man to return to kiev on his facebook page he expressed his condolences to the relatives of the victims people are mourning the dead and waiting for further information about the disaster with the cause is still to be established but here

is what is known so far i. thanked. him of and well the right side of the airplane and one end of it were completely on fire and i think the pilot made a greater not to hold presidential houses the plane crash landed in largely park and destroyed the fence before then it took off again and exploded and was completely incinerated when you know the donkey was watching the news of the rainy and hitting us bases with missiles on t.v. 10 minutes i heard a massive explosion and all the houses started to shake there was fire everywhere but 1st i thought the americans have struck here with missiles and i went into the basement to take that off through while i went out and saw a plane had crashed over their body parts were lying around everywhere.

is that just to just to see if there's $167.00 messengers to all ukrainian citizens on the person jews are citizens of canada germany sweden and afghanistan. seemed so simple really my oldest son is the steward my daughter called me from the

us she told me that the ukrainian aircraft crashed just wary go through our states it's a run and i sold a video of the plane crash. otherwise otherwise vladimir putin and his texas count have officially endorsed the turks stream natural gas pipeline we'll have more on that and other stories after this short break. 6 tries are financial survival. when customers go by you're just a place. in elf well reduce a flower. that's undercutting but what's good for market is not good for the global economy. shows seemed wrong when all quotes just don't call. me lol but

yet to shape out this day become educated and in gains from it because of the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground. it is physics physics is nothing but the harmony you can create on vibrating strings but its chemistry chemistry is the melody and melodies you can play on strings what is the universe the universe is a symphony of strings. not i'm a person and his turkish counterpart president won have officially endorsed the turks stream and that show 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 russia parky 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 thai period 2 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 talked about during the opening ceremony. the relations between russia and to a 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 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 nat. 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 of these slides will be able to deliver more 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 where we discuss the significance of the launch with key players novelists. already was initially starting from the late ninety's was to have diverse nation of troops not resources as you guys. know just supply security because it's important for turkey as we are not just producers so this is to extreme replace the western pipeline. it will pump more than we have received so far from the west and by by

what the 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 white north to the americans would like also to sell their own guys in the form of identity that they have a huge capacities of identity. and they would like to say that if you turn 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 defense 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 sanction 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 procurement for the foreseeable future while also during the meeting the ages of russia and turkey called for an end to hostilities in libya the warring sides to reach a cease fire by general 12 libya's u.n. bad government has welcomed the statement from the 2 presidents we cool 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 torn apart by conflict and instability since the overthrow of moammar gadhafi back in 2011 most of libya is now controlled by general holly for half to arm the libyan national army while turkey has stood behind the un backed government which is in charge of a small part of the war torn pelfrey last month they requested military aid from ankara to counter the general's forces and the deployment was approved last thursday by the turkish government political analyst chris bambery says that

a ceasefire will be hard to enforce. i think russia and turkey have some sway i think crew or the government in tripoli turkey or no really the only backers but it's also important to see that egypt and behind them so do rebel are also major players in this supporting the other side and i don't know how much control. how much attention there will be to a deal brokered between russia and tolkien given the antagonism exists particularly with so. there's another complicating factor in here is the u.n. by government is no essentially only hiding all in a coastal strip of the country has very little control it has the capital yes tripoli but very little else is just lost the major city of sirte sort i don't see the other side. appearing to be the age of victory backing off necessarily here but on the other hand we desperately need peace and the people of libya deserve

peace so let's hope that this deal can be pulled off to give the long suffering people of libya piece. now act is looking to bag britain's highest movie award this year may find it difficult if they're not white the british academy of film and television arts has been slammed for its picks with all of its acting nominations going to white performer as butter has admitted the lack of diversity book called on the industry to change. i would like to see more diverse nominations and we will work harder in pushing your stream more but that shouldn't take away from those who were nominated this year but his nominations are joke not nominating a single woman for directing or best film no antonio banderas no look at the norcross phina. view with the most nominations yikes

an all white slate of acting nominees in this of all years bafta this is not good enough he would go again laura says in this the time for sexist and racist nominations it's not ok incidents it's systematic well we put this up for debate with legal and media analyst lionel and political commentator mo and saw me just tell you something if if if studios maybe one exists lidl where we let only one of the reverse racism studios if studios. if studios made money having nothing but diverse women or whatever was they would do it believe me they're not going to do something just because of some ulterior motive let's be quite clear the world in which my kids and hopefully their kids are going to have a few tough challenges and some bumps in the road on the way he's going to want to be increasing diversity increasing pluralism and secularism and these arguments

about i don't want to one of society yeah stop the well let me off it's not going to happen ok we're going to have increasing diversity you have more basic needs more muslims more immigrants more much everything sex you want to feel shiny and better phones and better no no to me i don't know where that you launch. but just the idea of taking governmental regulations quote his. head of heterogeneity diversity and applying it to movies and films i mean do you have people right now are going to want to watching this and laughing hysterically at what we're even promo. look at this and listen i want to see this was discovered a lot lot of you know they are. absolutely whiter richer less diverse then you find in society i'm after years and years and years when gene wounding about trying to get better levels of representation across the board

surprise surprise we've seen it so i don't want wash you want to go to theaters based upon the diversity of the people on the screen if that's if that's truly what you want not the quality of the film not the story but just the participants then you who are a member of the smallest minority of people because nobody really believes this they claim they do and also one more thing bafta wants to be in the same category as the golden globes because everybody's talking about the golden globes not because of ricky gervais' bad has got to make money being numb. one because it's so many different award shows that this is their latest entry maybe this will put them on the map it's numbers for ratings that's it. and in other news this hour the us democrats have been accused of being too broad a church by one of their own congresswoman alexandra cortez who represents the younger progressive wing of the democrats expressed uneasiness about being in the

same party as presidential hopeful joe biden. oh god in any other country joe biden and i would not be in the same party but in america we are well her remarks come amid a growing rift between progressive and moderate forces within the party she was previously skeptical about joe biden and his approach to climate change issues biden though says a cousin of cortez and other young representatives lika only make up a small if lively faction among the democrats. and i already know she's brilliant and the other 3 women we're talking about are really smart but they are the exception rather than the rule if you listen to the guys and women in your business they say that's the majority of people grab elected we need that kind of energy but that's not the majority of democrats who got like the last presidential candidate for the libertarian party often vora believes the problems for the democrats is that they're on every side of every issue. most people who are democrats for

the last several decades are not socialists they're not willing to become socialists are not persuadable to become socialists so so cortez's exact position is is not something that most democrats can really identify with so in a large sense she's right the the party that she's in dark should not be the same party that biden is and they do have different positions to what both the democratic and republican party have been doing is they've been going out of their way to try to make it harder for new parties to even get on the ballot there have been multiple court case on this democratic and republican parties have lost multiple court cases all of this and they keep doing this because they are getting worried they're getting a little bit desperate they're realizing that yes their position absolutely has big threat of great wealth and so they're trying to just prevent anyone else from competing on well that is your update and i'll be back here with the rest of the

team in about 30 minutes time with more news from around the world will see them. you know world a big part of the new law 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. and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the troops the time is now we're watching closely watching the hawks. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy to confront cation let it be an arms race based on often spearing dramatic development only

mostly i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. 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 compas is things beyond just straight infrastructure healthcare's 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. time after time called her ration to repeat the same mantra sustainability it's very important to accelerate the transition to sustainable transport sustainability

stay in her manner a more equitable and sustainable. they claim their production is completely harmless. companies want us to feel good about buying their products while the damage is being done far away this isn't just going to look. under. this broadcasting around the world and covering all aspects of it just and out of

fact in our daily lives i'm christiane washington and here's a look at what we have in store today. iran has retaliated against the u.s. air strike that killed a top general market the ridglea dead on the auction oil prices have retreated paving the way for a rally in let. me take a look at the big picture of the oil sector and several other market moves with richard wolffe the host of economic uptick plus as they develop a bit of light the latest updates are on sale at the consumer electronics show in las vegas or boom bust ready to board on the ground to catch us up on the floor of the field and just how far a i have come where filled to the brim with some very important stories so let's dive right in. following iran's missile strike on the bases in iraq that house u.s. and u.k. troops markets initially dropped while oil spite but quickly retraced back to even as details emerged the pentagon later come for and that iran launch more than

a dozen missiles against u.s. military. forces in iraq but so far there were no reports of casualties the attack to not target any oil infrastructure which was a major point of concern for global markets in fact the nasdaq rally to new record highs when day following the attack as a retaliation was less than feared while crude oil retreated down 2 percent president trump address a spikes wednesday morning in washington are greater american forces are prepared for anything a ran appears to be standing down which is it good thing for all parties concerned and a very good thing for the world as we continue to evaluate options in response to a rainy an aggression the united states well immediately impose additional punishing economic sanctions so in the rain in regime investors are relieved and many analysts interpret the strike as a ron lashing out but not for their escalating the situation tensions are likely to

continue a book current base case scenario it does not assume a broader military conflict so while the market has bounced back in the vix as low indicating that fear has subsided has the entire thing blown over are ready no according to several analysts and iran experts anyone who thinks this is over is being tragically naive take a look at history and you will see that iran has enforce soft targets previous attacked have attack targeted israeli diplomats and georgia india and thailand months later so analysts say that blowback from iran could continue for years and can come come in the form of cyber attacks are diplomatic actions but until that happens the market is near sighted and couple with perpetually low rates and constant liquidity injections from central banks around the world investors are incentivize and encourage to take on more and more risk and to give us the latest macro outlook and the state of the
