the united states and iran stepped back from the brink after tit for tat airstrikes in the region as president donald trump limits his response to fresh sanctions we'll look at whether the disasters of the 2003 iraq war are pulling ahead in washington d.c. . but that's not stopping t.v. pundits from beating the drums of war while hiding their ties to the defense industry from the public. and hundreds of mental health patients and reportedly suffered sexual abuse and makes wards of the country's health service the n.h.s. .

a very warm welcome to the program from all of us here at our teached you in moscow thanks for joining us this hour. we start in the middle east where iran's u.n. envoy says the country is not planning any more attacks against the united states so long as washington refrains from any further aggression he added that wednesday's airstrikes on 2 u.s. bases in iraq were sufficient revenge for the pentagon's killing of its top generals last week president trump has limited his response to those strikes to pledging new sanctions. as we continue to evaluate options in response to a rainy and 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 are to

taylor examines whether the mistakes of the iraq war are focusing us minds this time around. sequels are rarely as good as the originals many characters don't sign on for repeat of parrots and they often end up losing money but apparently there's nothing washington likes more than dusting off an old script and adding a new line or 2 sometimes a bally even needs to change the name both countries which have been consuming america's attention for a while now the threat comes from iraq saddam hussein aids and protects terrorists the coalition forces did not come to colonize iraq we came to. overthrow a despotic regime everywhere we go in the middle east it's a rare ran around major destabilizing in influence in the middle east spread death destruction and chaos the leaders of iran are record hears behind every problem is
12:03 am
are a so the scene is set you have a visible villain in all story and in case you are in any doubt as to who our hero is while who else but the one his ambition is only as a pin to throw off the shackles of injustice and make democratic dreams come true i think things have gotten so body inside iraq from the some point of the iraqi people my belief is we will in fact be greeted as liberators. there was dancing in the streets in parts of iraq we we have every expectation the people not only in iraq but in iran will view the american action last night but our hero knows better than to go around attacking people well some kind of justification it's not particularly diplomatic so he gets trusted advisors to dig up something anything really that will make it sound like humanity is being saved this is a blockbuster off the role that has to be an apocalypse saddam hussein and his regime are concealing their efforts to produce more weapons of mass destruction
12:04 am
iran will not get a nuclear weapon and as we came into office iran was on a pathway that it provided by the nuclear deal which clearly gave them the opportunity to have those nuclear weapons and all the while he hopes that no one. actually are spending think concrete because then he's just a man with a grog us grumbling to establish a link between iraq and al qaeda is so far frankly unconvincing we're still left with the problem of bringing public opinion to accept the imminence of a threat from iraq regime change does not take up it sounds like a grudge between bush and saddam we need to know what the evidence is what led the administration to make the president to make this decision but i think this claim that his concern was to avoid war i think most people would say this is made war more likely so just to be on the safe side he adds a little something extra something he knows will appeal to the patriotism and emotions of the average voter if we're successful in iraq we will have struck a major blow right at the geographic base of the terrorists who have hundreds and
12:05 am
resort for many years but most especially on 911. assisted in the klan this time travel to afghanistan of 10 of the 12 terrorists who carried out the same time or 11 terrorist attacks in the united states but does a hit every film has to have a moment when things aren't going the hero's way back in 2003 and john politicians and the public alike might have been beating the drums of war but as time passed questions were raised and people increasingly saw through had been best circumstantial evidence fast forward and now not everyone's willing to back the hero who tore up a nuclear deal uses sanctions as a default foreign policy toll and made the hash tag wild will 3 trident on twitter this is a u.s. decision it is not a decision taken by the do global coalition nor nato but all allies are concerned about iran's destabilizing activities in the region more worryingly for the hero
12:06 am
has an election coming up the average voter is being a bit more cautious this time around but despite all this there is sure he's unbeatable and why wouldn't he be he's had ample experience to roll from guatemala to the congo from the dominican republic to south vietnam from brazil to chile and libya from iraq to iran you get the point this hero's got good shifting of regimes around in his favor of course in some ways this is even a sequel within a sequel because back in 1953 the cia helped topple the democratically elected iranian leader to protect you guessed it u.s. oil interests but despite all this despite the sending of troops the killing of civilians the assassination of foreign officials there and maintains that he's not off to blood he's a man of peace we're doing everything we can to avoid war in iraq our goal is peace we took action last night just stop
12:07 am
a war we did not. jay garrick should just start a war 17 years 3 presidents and hundreds of thousands of casualties later sure the faces have changed and the rhetoric a little bit different as will be hopefully the final outcome but either way you've got to admit washington to do with some variety and storylines off troll no one likes a dodgy sequel the us house of representatives is due to vote 2 on thursday on whether to limit terms ability to use military force against iran we asked former u.s. congressman ron paul 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 back off a bit 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
12:08 am
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 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 or despite the white house aborting further escalation for now here us t.v.
12:09 am
pundits are ramping up the pressure for war all masking their connections to the lucrative defense industry are to scale up and compile the chorus of hawks. there was compelling intelligence reasons of an imminent threat to respond i trust the intelligence assessment of what's on the neo is doing the kinds of actions he was preparing for i take it at face value what he is saying and secretary pompei oh this was a preemptive defensive measure now these are supposed to be just random smart people who are going to help us understand the situation except there aren't a lot of them have a particular financial interest in a specific outcome essentially they're tied to corporations that make profits from war the usa and iran go head to head they'll get a pretty nice payout and the viewers are kept in the dark about these ties the world is on edge since the u.s. to county raney into restocking tents and codes force command a custom sunday money following the december 31st attack on the us embassy in iraq
12:10 am
since 979 iran has bullied threatened and cooed and spread its reign of terror the president has made the right decisions on iran to this point including scrapping the iranian nuclear deal then hip jr works for a lobbying firm american defense incorporated that represents military contractors and who are one of the sponsors of his lobbying efforts none other than the manufacturers of the drone that killed solomonic so are we really shocked he's not singing kumbaya on urging restraint check out this guy they crossed a red line with this president when he when he exercised enormous going to story. not taken a provocation but don't kill americans and when they did he he acted and acted very strongly and now jack keane is represented as just a retired general giving his 2 cents but actually sent his retirement from the pentagon he's been working with military contracting companies like general dynamics and now he runs
12:11 am
a venture capital firm that specializes in defense and security not exactly mr objective general saw money he was a lawful military. objectives and the president had ample domestic legal authority to take him out without an additional congressional authorization jed johnson was in the department of homeland security under barack obama but now he's in the private sector working for lockheed martin that's the company that makes the war planes that are stationed across the middle east and who can forget david petraeus that's the military commander turned cia director who had an affair and leaked classified information to his mistress now you would think you wouldn't be credible after all this is what happened when you tried to teach classes at city college in new york. and. i mean if you don't remember what it was going to be. a year ago but petraeus is back selling war on prime time it's impossible to overstate the significance of the
12:12 am
attack that takes cost and soul money this is bigger than been logged it's bigger than bud donahue the overwhelming majority of the american people believe that the invasion of iraq in 2003 was a big mistake so it's worth pointing out that these same people were on t.v. in 2003 selling the invasion of iraq are now on t.v. pushing a new war against iraq the exact same people it is important to understand the consequences of pulling out of iraq before our work is done in victory is achieved abandoning our iraqi friends would signal the world that america cannot be trusted to keep its war so low money was the highest ranking official in the force he has the blood of many american soldiers on his hands the u.s. public has voted for presidential candidates who promised less involvement overseas over and over again but the mainstream media seems to be working pretty hard to convince them otherwise and it's giving special attention to certain individuals
12:13 am
who have certain shady financial ties and it's not disclosing those ties to the viewers many. of the pundits the analysts that we see in us media are people who are either on the boards of military corporations or their lobbyist for the military industry and they have an economic incentive unfortunately when it comes to war and this is not disclosed when we hear them talking about how good trump is doing in killing the general of another country and inciting a new war we have to admit that there is a strong military industrial complex in the united states and that the news media itself benefits from war. ukraine is marking a day of mourning after its passenger plane crashed just after takeoff from tehran
12:14 am
airport on wednesday killing all 176 people on board. well of anti-alcohol the right side of the airplane and one end of it we completely on fire i think the pilot made a great effort not to hold residential houses the plane crash landed in largely 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 keep close 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 with missiles and i went into the basement to take cover all through while i went out and saw a plane had crashed one of the dead body parts were lying around if.

12:16 am
since our support for my oldest son is just stupid my daughter called me from the us she told me that he had craning at craft crashed just where eagle fruit. i said to ron and i sold a video of the plane. hundreds of women and men are reportedly being sexually assaulted in mixed wards in england's national health service at the rate of one attack a day despite ministers pledging to scrap and they chest mixed wards guidelines to allow shared spaces and mixed corridors or poor reveals there were $286.00 reports of sexual assault in single sex wards between april of 2017 and october 2019 that's 3 times lower than for mixed sex wards make sex wards received 100-1000 reports of sexual assault in the same period that's a rate of one attack a day one victim spoke out about the conditions the room i was in was surrounded by the entrance to the main car door so there were men standing almost all said i
12:17 am
couldn't go in you were without going to a mixed area i just had to lock myself in my room the whole time the department of health and social care has responded by saying it will not tolerate sexual abuse in the n.h.s. but political activist on the bells says it's disgraceful that the decision to axe mix words has still not been carried out. i think it's a it's about 20 years certainly 15 years ago that. hospitals made an undertaking that they would get rid of mixed wards frankly the government ought to be ashamed that allowing british hospitals to it to not carry out an agreement that they made which was that there would be wards for women and wards for men and they shouldn't be they should not be mixed wards we fought very hard to ensure that women had safety and security so. for no better reason that we could speak to each
12:18 am
other about issues of the of of concern i mean lots of women would be in hospital because of you know reproductive issues. of old age and you couldn't necessarily do that in a mixed ward knots of men prefer to be in wards in which matters of their you know the reproductive organs can be explored with other men in a way that is not appropriate in front of most women well i certainly think that in a 1st world country that we should have wards for women and wards for men and one of the n.h.s. is being panned for its failure to separate the sexes britain's education watchdog has uncovered on law for segregation at the heart of the national school system after it has revealed that an islamic islamic faith academy in central england is giving preferential treatment to boys and even telling girls that the university is not for them shoddy edwards daschle reports. segregation surely only
12:19 am
a thing of the past well not for one islamic faith school in birmingham that found itself on the naughty step after segregation the girls and the boys of the classroom unlawfully by the way and telling its girls that university was not for them while the boys were given the 1st choice on black experience placements boys enjoy school more than girls this is because they are treated favorably and have more privileges redstone to come to meet the private secondary school in which charges fees of up to $3000.00 pounds a year has been slapped by the mother of scorn inspectors offset with the rating of inadequate now the 13 page report found the boys are treated the preferential way and girls were discouraged from further education they were also banned from playing football and taking part in activities like tickets you classes boys and girls own lawfully segregated by sex for all school activities except for weekly assemblies over a year ago the school was already told to stop its practice of segregation but the
12:20 am
schools have most of says he has no intention of defined the lower in any way and simply wants to separate schools for boys and girls now despite ofsted ruling segregation has a negative impact on girls' education and indeed self-confidence we work very diligently to offer the best to both boys and girls at our school and both are given equal opportunities to be successful in whatever they choose if it turns out that our application for a separate girls' school is formally refused then we have absolutely no intention to defy the law in any way but it's not just this school that's in the bad books for bugging him let's not forget the debate over the soon to be compulsory sex education classes including talking about divest relationships and saying that it's ok to b.k. well the rollout isn't going down too well with some parents of faith fundamentally disagreeing that teaching their kids such issues goes directly against their own religious beliefs.
12:21 am
but. 2 let them grow up and let them to themselves i don't like to be with the government schools and parents all that odds over how they see the future of children's education and looks like britain still has a lot of homework today it's a school. doing well college will set standards then no no is it big so it could be anything up to 4 years before schools are assessed and reports are written aren't prime example placed which basically allows schools to carry on if there are such a concerns like the ones that we've come across now and it is only when ofsted inspectors go in and stick to students and so on as they've done in this case what they've spoken to the boys in this book to the girls of the girls about to say that they are not happy with the way to be treated these concerns have been raised
12:22 am
simply because the cost that it's best to spoke to the students directly if there's nobody else that's making complaints this nature how are you supposed to find out. actors looking to baghran for top 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 performers bafta has admitted the lack of diversity because on the industry to change i would like to see more diverse nominations and we will work harder and push the new stream more but that shouldn't take away from those who are nominated this year but his nominations are a joke not nominating a single woman for directing our best film no antonio banderas no look at then our crew funa. the with the most nominations yikes. an
12:23 am
all white slate of acting nominees in this of all years bafta this is not good enough he would go again laura sees in this the time for sexist and racist nominations it's not ok incidents it's systematic we put the issue up for debate with legal and media analyst lionel and political commentator well sir we just tell you something if if if studios maybe some exist line where we. 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
12:24 am
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 and you know where that you launch. 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 watching this and laughing hysterically at what we're even promo doing. listen listen i want this song to discover a lot a lot of you know they are. absolutely whiter richer less diverse then you find in society i don't after years and years and years when gene looting about trying to get better levels of representation across the board
12:25 am
surprise surprise we've seen it somewhat 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 a ricky gervais's bafta is going to make money being number one because there's so many different awards shows that this is their latest entry maybe this will put them on the map it's numbers for ratings thats it. that's our global news wrap up for now but i'll be back at the top the hour with the latest thanks for tuning in.
