the. u.s. u.k. and canada claim a ukrainian airliner was shot down in tehran by a missile but that's before international experts had a chance to analyze the data. from sensitive votes to limit donald trump's offer to take further military action against iran but it's unclear whether the resolution will pass the senate and as lawmakers in the u.s. and abroad question the legality of the u.s. killing the reigning general case and solomonic also on the way. i. personally fired tear gas to disperse protesters on a 6 week of mass nationwide strikes over the pension.

good afternoon welcome this is r.t. internet. ukraine's president has asked the u.s. canada and allies to show evidence backing that claims a rocket brought down one of its passenger planes in iran on wednesday although vladimir lansky said the missile scenario cannot be ruled out he added that it's not currently confirmed $176.00 passengers on board lost their lives when the boeing 737 came down shortly after taking off from tehran airport and ski school comes as around invites international experts to monitor the investigation. considering the latest press tatum's by heads of state we are asking all international partners primarily the governments of the us canada and the u.k. to supply information and evidence pertaining to this plane crash does investigative commission is emitted and how much of it as well the americans the french the canadians and the swedish to come here and see how we investigate this crash specialist bodies from canada and america that investigate crashes we trust

those bodies what we can say with absolute certainty is that no missile has had the splay. or the black box recovered from the plane crash site has been shown by iran's state media tehran rejected claims the plane was downed by a missile as a logical and possible. looks at how speculation is mounting even before a probe has taken place. nothing instills confidence in international leaders more than my love of precise language. we have intelligence from multiple sources including are allies and our own intelligence. the evidence indicates that the plane was shot down by an arena and a surface to air missile and it was flying in a pretty rough neighborhood and somebody could have made a mistake some people say was be can it go i personally don't think that's. even a question there is now a body of information that the flight was shot down by an iranian surface to air

missile this may well have been an intentional we're working closely with canada and our international partners and they now need to be a full transparent investigation on specific intelligence unnamed allies multiple mysterious sources hardly the rhetoric one expects a at that level of diplomacy and b. when discussing the tragedy that's left 176 dead but it's on surprising that iran has batted off this latest slew of unfounded allegations about the crash of ukrainian airlines flight $75.00 to a nudge for calm and not check to prevail scientifically it isn't possible the missile hit the ukrainian plane and such rumors are illogical and it's not an unreasonable request the investigation into the events of wednesday morning which saw the boeing 737 bound for t. have crashed just minutes after takeoff has only just begun final report into aviation disasters take months if not years to be published they require

coordination between numerous governments and organizations which is why iran has invited mult. investigators including from boeing to visit the crash site in the meantime all there is a series with nothing but unnamed sources to back it all up which is why amid all the confusion and contradictions the ukrainian president who lost 11 of his citizens that morning as they returned home also called for an end to all the chatter and noise. i'm asking everyone to refrain from speculation conspiracy theories hasty conclusions and unverified versions and it's not a topic for hype but the spiraling tensions between tehran and washington especially in the past week have triggered an unprecedented level of scrutiny on the region and people don't seem willing to heed calls for calm especially when they feel the tide might be turning in a favored direction iraq could strike missile system is among the main working

theories since there was information on the internet about elements of the russian missile being found near the site of the crash it didn't take long for the mainstream media to jump on that bandwagon c.n.n. has never been one to turn down an unverified source especially when russia is involved pointed the finger at a bomb or missile new evidence indicates iran shot down ukrainian flight 75 too with 2 surface to air missiles made by russia and the undeniable evidence they offered a photo from twitter posted on the count that was later suspended maybe it breached the company's fake news guidelines but nonetheless even all the way across the pond the hysteria continued for the 1st one is the possibility that that plane was hit by a russian missile just after takeoff independent also published an article citing something called the o.p.'s group an independent organization which has little to recommend

itself other than it provides information and aviation professionals and fox's thoughts. according to its twitter page nevertheless it felt confident enough to recommend people just assumed the plane was shot down until evidence to the contrary and marge is guilty until proven innocent it's the new name of the game in today's political landscape. it's been claimed the new video shows a missile streaking into the night sky over to iran and exploding as it hit a plateau. being an independent german marks and some is not good afternoon to you martin. what a mess in terms of knowing exactly what's going on here latest information revealed a video in the media claims to show a missile hitting the plane and it's also very compelling when you see videos at this news organizations backing it up the new york times say that they verified the 1st you don't know how they verify it but they say they verified it is it damaging

to the official investigation when you when you see the media coming out with information all seems to have. well earth. is quite interesting that zelinsky said let's not jump to conclusions suggests that he's quite level headed about this and what the british prime minister is already putting out the idea that the plane is definitely shot down by a missile and of course the western politicians are trying to spin this because they're in a bit of a mess because. logically there are a number of things we need to take into account here the iranians are saying that it's illogical that it was hit by a missile because the plane turned back before it crashed a bit hit by a missile he would've turned back and i don't know whether that's been confirmed but that seems to be the law and they're taking secondly it's possible that it could have been hit by a missile but if so it would have done by accident and therefore the chain of causality leads back to the assassination of salim mainly which also has led to the

deaths of the all of those people at his funeral all of these things are collateral damage of the decision made. that there's a 3rd possibility which is the plane was shot down by somebody on the ground using . missile now the motivation for that would be because you've got a terrorist groups operating inside iran like amy kaye who are working closely with israeli american and british intelligence a very may have done this for their own reasons. incredible to people to remember that al mahdi the prime minister of iraq. is resigning but when he spoke to paul newman last week in iraq he said that he had been threatened. that if he did chinese oil deal he was going to be assassinated and so there would be protests against him which would then be shot by snipers killing both protesters and police officers which is pretty similar to what happened in modern square and elsewhere and. now in other words there's all these possibilities floating around zelinsky

saying not to jump to conclusions he's absolutely right but on the other hand it's inevitable everybody is trying to spin this because we're in the middle of a basically a war situation where everybody's trying to get advantage trying to control the narrative. so when i ask you a bit more about the role of the the media in situations like this everyone's looking for somebody to provide answers in this case around who would seem to be leading an investigation often what happens though you get news outlets major ones saying we have information is pretty clearly come from a government source usually the u.s. or western government they won't divulge who told them that but they say our sources official sources tell tell us it's this they put out this mantra and a lot of people believe it gets repeated by other governments and other news organizations now it might all well be true but how dangerous is it to take on faith government based information bearing in mind let's be honest u.s. government it's proven they've lied in the past about the major events can they be

trusted all the time like this. well i think what sports legitimate for any news organization to do is say well disses what we've been told but you don't have to take it as gospel that they're not i mean when an intelligence service tells you something it's because they want you to think something it may be true and it may not be true and they're all mislead saying this is what we've been told by him or 6 whoever it is we should necessarily take that as gospel the intelligence services of their to law they don't spend most of their time finding out information a lot of what they do is spreading disinflation by the integrity initiative so-called organization here in brigade 77 run by the british army they spend all day sitting on the internet and making phone calls to spread disinformation this is what professional journalists are up against now that doesn't mean that so that we can't we don't take information from those sources we can take information from wherever we like for the good of subject to critical scrutiny and of course the

story is then spinning the story this is basically possibly just an accident except the thoughts make the 4th possibility earlier it's a boeing plane and several of the crash already in recent years it may just be an accident that just happened to happen in the middle of this this exchange of fire. but information is obviously being manipulated by the intelligence services in the west and the particularly the you know that they are trying to get out of the mess they got themselves into a boss us noting solomonic. hopefully it's going to lead to some changes for the best of the people in the least but at the moment it's it's very dangerous and any mistake by anybody could lead to a conflagration martin thank you time in the presence of this martin summers my guess is. the u.s. house of representatives has passed a resolution aimed at limiting president trumps ability to use military force against iran however the bill may not pass the republican controlled senate the

white house has condemned the bill as an obstacle to preventing terrorism in the modern explains. trump is imposing new sanctions on the islamic republic of iran saying that they will stay in place until america's bidding is done they're losing a tremendous amount they getting hurt very badly by the sanctions can in very quickly but as to whether or not they want that's up to them not up to me it's totally up to them it's classic trump said an ultimatum and wait for surrender but it's a little bit risky given that it's a ron which has boasted that its latest attacks on u.s. bases are just a hint of its retaliatory capabilities however it's a different kind of retaliation that's facing trump at the moment the trumpet ministration is now on the defensive about their decision to kill iran stop general qassam sallah money without congressional approval their excuse they say qassam solomonic he was planning to carry out new attacks against america and swift action was absolutely necessary. was actively planning new attacks and here is

looking very seriously at our embassies and not just the embassy in baghdad but we stopped him and we stopped him quickly and we stopped him. there is no doubt that there were a series of imminent attacks that were being plotted by qassam so the money we don't know precisely when and we don't know precisely where but it was real however members of congress both democrats and republicans who saw the classified intelligence briefing say that the information in the report to back up those claims is wanting his the unclassified version of what trump sent congress after the hits on some the money from all we've seen including the redacted parts here and the briefing the facts do not show an imminent threat they are just avoid the nation. so little money for claiming that he was planning imminent attacks and yet

they produce no evidence that we're just avoid this claim not even in a classified setting i wanted to hear the intel. 1st what i hear was less than satisfying i can tell you as a united states senator coming out of a classified briefing they did not show us that they were dealing with an imminent threat i saw no evidence of that whatsoever that was insulting that was demeaning to the process ordained by the constitution and i find it completely unacceptable the white house says it is not obligated to share all the information with members of congress and that doing so might me risky mike pence says that at this point congress shouldn't expect anything further and they should trust the president when it comes to intelligence we have to protect sources and methods and so there's only a certain amount that we can share with every member of congress i can assure that those of us that have seen all the evidence that saw the evidence in real time know

that president trump made the right decision and now this isn't the 1st time that the house and senate have been left in the dark claims about russia hacking the d.n.c. or china spying on the whole world and followed roughly the same playbook there doesn't seem to be any real evidence that iran was planning to attack america that friend in washington d.c. seems to be that the executive branch is out on its own collecting information and engaging in military actions congress is just supposed to take their word for it and trust them and while that may be the steady trend for decades it seems like in the year a 2020 elected representatives from both parties are now saying they're not ok with it i think there is a lot of. american public. concern about the assassination and the fact that it pulls young people think that it made americans less safe and so what was the point and i don't think people are buying trump's

explanation that he gave that it was because of an imminent attack on the u.s. embassy. you know and i mean i think i think it's not. you can't close the door on the house and the senate will also narrowly support the war powers resolution. the iraqi prime minister is asked the u.s. secretary of state to decide the mechanism for withdrawing troops from iraq the demand was made following the killing of iran's top general in a us drone strike last week that assassinations just one of the issues discussed by ots afshin rattansi and the iranian ambassador to the united nations office the geneva you can watch the interview in full in the latest episode of going underground saturday here's a preview. by that i thought initially united states has already served pursed the reclines distinguished from better bury them from. the rules of engagement ok but will there be any more revenge now from iran for the

trump assassination of. this is the beginning of a very are i guess exciting episode. it was a wake up call for the people in the region and beyond. this was. an action an act of self-defense by an armed forces against us but are they told you or i think this is the beginning of a i hope not too long process that the people of our region would be get rid of. the american presence in the region because their prisons in our region has brought nothing except our misery war and hatred. now are the pharmaceutical giant by

cut to the chase this is take out a guy in iraq and we're going to get more money printing right away because i want to make my yacht payment this weekend why fuss around this is the new york way of doing things i said it when he 1st got elected it's like having a new yorker in the white house and having in new york around the world i'm a new yorker you know i got tell you i want to. god. large sections of the french population adjoining what has become the longest transport workers strike for decades called over unpopular pension reforms.

but we've already seen tear gas deployed on several occasions by the police as they were trying to control the crowd seem paris and the crowds are huge just want to get you to go up and get a sense of looking down the street to seclude to mission tents and pushing much all the way down to our last of the publique it is chock a block with people people who've come out to support the strike and it still looks like it's getting huge amount to support in terms of have the strike is going there is more public transport that is operational at the moment in paris we see in a trains operating fairly normally metros operating fairly normally in the mornings and in the evenings i've been doing that the large part of the day little is

operating apart from the automated lines that's $1.40 now in terms of the general support for this strike the polls in france show that most people are still supporting the strike people very unhappy from across the board about these changes to the pension system to the reforms that the government wants to make it wants to put 42 different pension systems that. i mean to one universal system to end many of the special regimes it says that yes actually it's still offering many special regimes to the police to sometimes work is said to india either be destroying the strike moving to try and get the impasse a to cross that the other big issue is raising the retirement age up to $64.00 it's currently $62.00 a with a front so they want to add another 2 years on to that but of course that won't affect anybody who's retiring in the next 17 years say the government they say will

only affect the turn 18 in the next few years but people are furious here they saying you know they don't want to sell out their children speeches that run children's features and that's why they determined to come out into the streets to keep protesting tensions are rising here towards the end of the protests they just want to get you to have a look back down there that's too would sun lazard in the center of paris you can see those clouds of tear gas in price don't tear gas still raining down on the protesters as the police try and control the situation here you can head out of the people and in the crowds and shouting everyone hates the police that's a chant we take quite often but you can really feel that tension right shooting up a in paris at the end of this protest that has been largely peaceful a tear gas has been deployed throughout it and we have seen some individuals arrested individuals who apparently throwing checks towards the police that sounds

like some grenades but it could also be tear gas coming down this but you might be able to see the lights coming up on the fly as it sounds like that was a sound can they get going off that people saying that they won't get even live to enjoy their retirements and they're determined to stay out in the streets and to make sure people know they're unhappy. little closer. she says that the rallies there strike at the very ideals of the mother micron's government for more on this story head to our website details at r.t. dot com. next pharmaceutical giant by a monsanto facing a slew of lawsuits over its canceling her beside brand roundup has changed tack now claiming that its products help to fight climate change peter oliver explains. climate change and how best to reverse the human impact on the environment is
