and very well might continue watching us and. president don't try to bring spawns to iran's retaliate for attacks on u.s. military bases promising new sanctions. iran strikes happened in the early hours of wednesday morning with dozens of missiles raining down on 2 u.s. bases in iraq in response to fascination offer terrazas told general. meanwhile ukraine's interior ministry confirms that all 176 people on board a ukrainian airlines plane that crashed into iraq what killed. him a putin and president obama officially endorse the tax treaty natural gas pipeline the baltics move to play. the turkish and easy markets from prussian casts.

like from moscow where it's just past 5 in the morning you're watching r t international welcome to the program. now runs envoy to the u.n. has said the country is not planning any more attacks against the u.s. as long as washington refrains from further aggression he also said tirant revenge for the death of its top general has been for felt after last night's missile strike on 2 u.s. bases in iraq president responded to those 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 or and changes its behavior. will be reigning in operation was carried out in

revenge for the u.s. drone strike that killed major general sunni money last week auntie's kind of more than has more on tribes 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 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 iran deal who are j c p a way trump emphasized his opposition to the j c p o way the 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 are 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 it 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 donald trump speech comes off the tensions in the middle east sort of the past week back quickly how things have escalated.

oh mom my mom that. i am. sure. you. know.

well the u.s. house of representatives is due to vote on thursday on whether to limit trump's ability to use military force against iran we asked former u.s. congressman ron paul and middle east analyst ahmed or worse the about the risks of an all out conflict. it's not totally unlike trump you know to make a lot of noise and then get people all excited and stir things up and then then back off a bat because i think basically i'm hoping anyway that he doesn't enjoy killing people and the 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 since we've been in and i say come home in

the 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 be provoking and 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 the 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 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 focused on some sort of more sanctions more economical sanctions. he talks also about he talked also about the nuclear deal and making a new nuclear deal sure that trump is actually pushing for a new nigga. between iran and the u.s. and also between iran and the allies of us. well just hours after iran lost its missile strikes a 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 oman 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 any further information about the disaster with the course still to be established but here is what's known so far. thank the. mob and well 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 which residential houses the plane crash landed in lolly park and destroyed the fence of a football then it took off again and exploded and was completely incinerated after what you know they didn't he was watching the news of iranians hitting us bases with missiles on t.v. after 10 minutes i heard a massive explosion and all the houses started to shake there was fire everywhere at 1st i thought the american substructure here with me and i went into the basement to take cover all through while i went out and saw a plane had crashed over their body parts were lying around everywhere.

i. this is just to see if this house of 167 passengers to all ukrainian citizens on the passengers are citizens of canada germany sweden cannister.

since their support for my oldest son is the steward my daughter called me from the us she told me that a ukrainian aircraft crashed just wary go through i said to to run and i sold a video of the plane crash. another nice vladimir putin and his turkish counterpart president urged on have officially launched the turks 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's 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 tar key all 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 nord 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 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 talked about during the opening ceremony because the relations between russia into the clear developing in practically is just going to be a difficult situation in the world and efforts by some eggs national 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 these lines 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 while we discuss the

significance of the loans with key players and analysts. already was initially starting from the late ninety's was to have diverse nation of troops under sources such as your god. and edges of life because it's important for the church as we are not just with you since so this is to extreme replace the western pipeline. it will have more than we have received so far from the west but by. us or towards you say that's clear 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 own guys in the form of identity that they have a huge capacities of either. and they would like to say that if you have 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 cats 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 proof here and for the foreseeable future well also during the meeting that he does of russia and turkey coltrane and still ities in libya urging the warring sides to reach a cease fire by john or 12 maybe as a u.n. backed government has welcome back statement from the 2 presidents. 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 and libya has been torn apart by conflict and instability since the overthrow of mama gadhafi back in 2011 most of libya is now controlled by general holly for hafter of the libyan national army while turkey has stood behind the un backed government which is in charge of a small part of the country last month it 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 clear with a 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 or what the how much attention there will be to a deal brokered between russia and tolkien given the antagonism exists particularly

with so so do rivers so there's another complicating factor in here is the u.n. by government is no essentially only hiding or in a coastal strip of the country has very little control it has the capital yes tripoli but very little else is just lost a major city of sirte sort i don't see in the other side. appearing to be the edge 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 peace. now actors looking it's a bag of 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 want to performers after has admitted to the lack of diversity perhaps 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 thena. the with the most nominations yikes an all white slate of acting nominees in this of all years back after this is not good enough here we go again oh laura season this the time for sexist and the racist nominations it's not ok incidents it's systematic or 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 line where we let only one of you write verse phrases but it is still dio's if studios. if studios made money having nothing but diverse women or whatever what 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'm one of one of society yeah stop the well let me off it's not going to happen ok we're going to have increasing diversity yet 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 and you know where the you launch it. but just the idea of taking governmental regulations quote his. head 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 why i look at this and listen i want to see this one to discover a lot lot of you know they are. absolutely whiter rich or less diverse then you find in society and after years and years and years when gene looting 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 if that's truly what you want not the quality of the film not the story but just the participants then you who are 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' bafta is going to make money being numb. one because there's so many different award shows that this is their latest entry maybe this will put them on the map it's numbers so ratings that's it. now the u.s. democrats have been accused of being too broad a church by one of their own congresswoman alexandra cuz you're cortez who represents the younger progressive wing of the democrats expressed a nice 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. 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 it has a court isn't all that young representatives like her only make up a small if lively faction among the democrats you see is brilliant and the other 3

women were talking about a 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 4 presidential candidates the libertarian party of involved 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 or 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 charge 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 is being threatened right now and so they're trying to just prevent anyone else from competing well that's his own news update for now i'll be back here at the top of the at whatever on top of the headlines see that. it is physics physics is nothing but the harmony you can create on vibrating strings but it's chemistry chemistry is the melody the melodies you can play on strings what is the universe the universe is is a symphony of strains. but

if she warned you posted by you and i did the dishes at the bottom or those genes and you speech and you see me we need to you. does and about that when you. can use that means as or that infants involve. a lot of you will see slowing your info as it bites about 2 kids each other both sides. as it is to me as if i touch. the. ear and she beautiful cabinet 5 days of doing. a english lady a thing people who simply knew. she would include in.

reality has mandates of its own that go beyond what our wishes and preferences are . and our utopian visions may be 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 braley think we are going to get a green new deal because the green new deal in compas is things beyond just what infrastructure health care is in the 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.

i'm after times here we're going underground in a brand new season as the world arguably faces its greatest conflict of the 21st century sparked by donald trump's u.k. backed assassination of iran stop soldier some silly money the man credited with saving countless lives in nato nations by defeating isis diane and al qaeda coming up in the show what was israel's role in the u.s. assassination that is arguably set the middle east on the path to nuclear conflict we'll ask former israeli foreign minister and ambassador to the united states down the aisle on and after the iraqi parliament voted to throw out british and american soldiers i was actually will baghdad work to exact revenge on nations which have supported donald trump's drone killings we speak to a member of baghdad council security committee. plus as u.s. president trump threatens to destroy dozens of cultural sites in iran the war crimes and colonial blunder with one of the world's greatest human rights was

geoffrey robertson all the more coming up in today's going on the ground but 1st the world is not the same since donald trump ordered the killing of iranian soldier caught some salami who along with his iraqi popular mobilization unit counterparts were drone strike on friday at baghdad airport joining me now from tel aviv is former israeli ambassador to the united states danny ayalon thanks so much about coming back on the show let's just begin with what you think your well indicted prime minister netanyahu meant when he said israel should not be dragged into what was an american event it was a totally american wholly owned american operation and i believe it came following the attack on the american and. but basically i think the united states was fed up with the intervention of iran through. the iranian revolutionary guard and most of the. force the oca's force which was headed by general wesley money

their responsibility was actually to subvert all over and. i would say make sure that the iranians. get the influence all over the area and we see it not just in iraq but also in syria in lebanon in yemen and i believe that after a restraint that the americans showed especially following the attack on the installations of saudi arabia that was just one bridge too far for them and they just decided to take action how is it then that israel was informed of the drone strike assassination of general soleimani ahead of time whereas london wasn't moscow wasn't beijing wasn't the u.s. congress wasn't and after all we're coming up to one year anniversary of an israeli assassination of a nuclear scientist in iran iran often being targeted as being suspected by assassination strikes on behalf of israel and i'm not quite sure

whether israel was informed or not but let's let's assume it was the reason would be just the distance you know we are unfortunately still within the distance of iranian ballistic missiles iranian ballistic missiles continue to be developed against the u.n. security council resolutions it is the ayatollah as a regime that continuously threaten israel so i think that would really be reasonable to to warn israel before so we can be prepared and also the iranians make no distinction of distinction almost between. israel and the united states they call the united states the big satan is a real ease this small satan so they put us together in the same boat while the iranian government officials from it obviously deny that they want to wipe israel off the map but i think anyone watching the footage of millions mourning the death

of silly monies see that there are people on the streets shouting death to israel do you think then that as you say the us embassy has now issued warnings for americans traveling in israel. what did you make of the fact that sooner mainly it's really money far from planning attacks according to the iraqi prime minister was actually carrying details of irreproachable between saudi arabia and iran when he was killed is about trying to stop any alliance between saudi arabia which has been getting closer to your country and iran what i think is just a matter of conspiracy i don't believe that this was the case especially not after the open account between tehran and in riyadh in saudi arabia. i don't think it would have been against american interest if indeed there was going to be reparations between the saudi arabia and there and iran saloon money was actually masterminding more attacks he's made mission right now we're.
