the. u.s. u.k. and canada claim a ukrainian airliner was shot down by a missile but that's before international experts a chance to analyze. this house of representatives votes to limit voted to take further military action against iran but it's unclear whether the resolution will pass the senate as lawmakers in the u.s. and abroad question the legality of the u.s. killing of the iranian general. and the security body. only to refrain from preventing foreign media from operating in the country after tallon forced employees of r.t. sister outlets to prison.

with us this is r.t. internet. the us state has offered help in the investigation into the crash of ukrainian passenger plane in iran on wednesday earlier washington passed quote important data relating to the incident to ukraine's president the us canada and the u.k. of all claim that they have evidence suggesting a rocket from iran has brought down the ukrainian international airlines jet killing all $176.00 on board iran has denied any missile was involved and is invited international experts to monitor the investigation echoing an earlier call by ukraine's president. 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. will allow the americans the french the canadians and the swedish to come here and see how we investigate this crash special is 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 of the plane's black boxes recovered from the crash site have been shown by iranian state media tehran says claims the jet was down by a missile are illogical and impossible to get a look at how speculations been mounting even before 'd a probe was carried out. nothing instills confidence in international leaders more than the love of precise language. we have intelligence from multiple sources including around lies and our own intelligence. the evidence indicates that the plane was shot down by an array near the surface to air missile and it was flying in a pretty rough neighborhood and somebody could have made a mistake some people say was bin cannick 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 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 is impossible that a missile hit the ukrainian plane and such room is illogical it's not an unreasonable request the investigation into the events of wednesday morning which saw the boeing 737 bound for t.f. crash 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 government organizations which is why iran has invited multiple investigators including from boeing to visit the crash site in the meantime all there is a theories 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 more. as they returned home also called for an end to all the chatter and noise. 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 possible 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 to with 2 surface to air missiles made by russia an 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 that's according to its twitter page nevertheless it felt confident enough to recommend people just assume the plane was shot down until evidence to the contrary emerges guilty until proven innocent it's the new name of the game in today's political out. it's been claimed a new video shows a missile streaking into the night sky over tehran an exploding as it hit an object c.n.n. has suggested it was taken approximately at the time ukrainian plane took in flight we asked independent journalist martin some as what he thinks about the role media plays as investigators. as you know there's a whole question a struggle goes on all the time for what might be called legitimacy to speak and of course what we've got in the modern world is in the english language is a must have the right of sources of all call ins with varying competing narratives

now it's a bit confusing but in many ways it's liberating as long as people recognize that you shouldn't believe everything you hear and that you've actually got to make your own do your own work and sort through what you what you're being presented with a new and to trust some places it was more reliable than others many in many cases they've been shown in the past to been lying and to be and to have been knowingly manipulated by western intelligence sources they can do that if they like but of course if they get caught out doing it then they lose their credibility that's the game you can lie if you like but if you get caught then you're a liar and therefore they've got to think very carefully whether they're going to bond with stories like that. the u.s. house of representatives has passed a resolution aimed at limiting president terms ability to use military force against around however the bill may not pass the republican controlled senate the white house has condemned the bill as an obstacle to preventing terrorism morgan explained. 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 solid 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

stop him and we stop him quickly and we stop 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 trumps and 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 lamont you are 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 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 the trend 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 of 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 the polls are showing 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 is i mean i think that. you can't close the door on the absolutely

of the and it will also merely support the were purchased. caretaker prime minister has demanded the us begin preparations for a troop pullout and the phone call i asked my pump to send a delegation to iraq to work out a withdrawal mechanism last week's assassination of iran's top general and the american military presence in the region were among topics discussed by our returns and iran's ambassador to the united nations office in geneva you can waltz into in full in the latest episode of going underground airing on saturday here's a preview. by that arthur nation the united states has already surpassed the reclined distinguished from better varies them from our civilized 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. 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 presence in our region has brought nothing except our. misery war and. the french government reform plans have been whipping up pure ripper more than a bump already in the draft bill of the project that will be presented to the council of ministers in 2 weeks time has been revealed i mean bone of contention is

an increase in the pension age although according to the text it's not something that would apply until 2022 less an alternative outcome is suggested. explains will you still need to be will you still feed me when i'm 64 or so goes the chorus to that song sung by the beatles now back in the 1960 s. when it was recorded average life spans were far shorter than we are today in france it was around 70 years old the idea of being 64 suggested you were probably close to you wrote expiration off. in france they consider that the us too healthy at the age of $63.00 so for us it's unacceptable to diet work or a time in bad health. it is very possible to die at work at this age. people are tired of that age they can't continue working. as phones enters into it

6 week of strikes over proposed changes to the pension system the one element that's really seems to be roiling people is the up being over the age that you can retire at with a full pension to yes you guessed it $64.00 polls show that 2 thirds of respondents find this to be on palatable while some unions if even demanded that all references to retirement at $64.00 be removed from the law. this new age is unfair because it will be no lies those who started working young economists agree that it's unnecessary and people are against it despite the opposition this seems to be a sticking point for the government. i think he does know that everywhere in europe in countries like ours across europe people work a little longer because mark thanks very much and he is going go. well he's right life expectancy has increased significantly in the last 50 years in fact in france the median lifespan is now 83 years old meaning the average person were toys at 64

would be dipping into the pension system for some 19 years and even if the government refuses to budge all not retirement age compared to other countries in the e.u. some might say that the french have it pretty good in countries like sweden denmark portugal germany and many more the age of retirement is already higher than the current age of retirement to france at $62.00 and it would still be higher than the new threshold at $64.00 in addition the life expectancy in these countries is lower than the fronts meaning that people who work longer to retire on average in those countries and are more likely to access their pension for shorter periods of time so. why are the french making such a song and this. is not about comparing countries it's about social regression it's about pensions and we don't know what would be

next why not studio opposite germany lower the retirement age to $60.00 to $60.00 or less we should do the opposite and not race to the bottom that's the issue for the european union as a whole only seem to be counted when we believe that france's current retirement system is economically viable so as long as we support retirement funds we do not need to slash workers' rights. the main problem for us is not the retirement age the main problem is the row our contracts for this this signifies the complete breakdown of the social system. it seems for the french regardless of what they european might be doing when they turn $64.00 they want to already be enjoying that retirement and this is not. challenged. paris.

the head of the organization for security and cooperation in europe has called on the stone year to refrain from limiting the work of foreign media that's after tallon pressure the stone employees at r.t. sister alice to resign as the of reports this letter is just the latest in a chain reaction that we've seen from multiple organizations both government and non-government the european federation of journalists the international federation of journalists increasingly coming out condemning what is seen as stony as crusade vendetta against news and now the head of the u.s. see himself coming out and saying that he's he's concerned about what dystonia is doing. commitments to freedom of the media and the free flow of information are in stride in the health and good final act my colleague is closely following the situation of sputnik dystonia he has also encouraged this tony and authorities to refrain from put in any unnecessary limitations on the work of foreign journalists

or media. it was last year the studio began an aggressive campaign against news they began threatening journalists most of whom are citizens working for news with jailed with criminal liability with prosecution merely for working for the organization the justification that they're using here is that the head of the parent company that owns news under european sanctions he's personally and the european sanctions so not do you organization that he heads and he was placed there back in 2014 student he is now saying you know after all these years that because he's sanctioned by the european union individual sanctions that everything he heads is also under sanctions that essentially new european organizational citizen can work with them and there's still one year is the only country in the european union that has seen the law as working like this others of course

journalists news itself many media organizations that see this as an attempt to silence to muzzle sputnik gladly putin himself coming out in support of the organization saying that what the sunni is doing is justifiable and that it's just an attempt to silence critical media. pharmaceutical giant monsanto facing a slew of lawsuits over its canceling ter beside brown round up the change tack is claiming its products help to fight climate change peter all of explains. climate change and how best to reverse the human impact on the environment is already one of the main topics of 2020 but while some are looking for ways to solve the problems others are facing the pointing of accusatorial fingers suggesting they are using climate concerned to try and salvage salita reputations chemical and for.

colossus for example old buyable some so to be more exact the group of facing a string of lawsuits of allegations there we'd kill a cold and continues to cole's counsel the company has tried to put spawn hearings and settle out of cold with some accuses now they're taking a different tack in claiming their product is good for reducing c o 2 levels the production of dreyfus eighty's quite c o 2 intensive but it's you save 3 times more c o 2 if you use a tractor with a plow you generate greenhouse gas emissions but time has been used to be an m.p. for the german green policy now he's the bio mom son so senior vice president for public and government affairs having the former climate crusader turned call for a spokesperson on board as part of by looking to market themselves as a climate conscious corporation and a key part in the news 2050 environmental goals industry should be at the forefront

monsanto has never had any respect for the environment in any of its work it's not honorable to all of a sudden pick out one thing and claim that they're going to be for sustainable environment it's what we call green washing when a company over a sudden jumps on something sustainable and claims that they're doing the right thing while it is a common trend because they realize that young people have different ideas than their parents or grandparents so they are trying to reach these young people and make them favorable to their companies and their products. thing without say this evening don't forget you can check out most of these on our website.

trump is a new yorker and you know he looks at the global picture and he sees the tension in the middle late sixty's iran doing a dance with the bat and the neighbors and there's like an hour let's just cut to the chase it's just i got a guy in iraq and i'm going to get more money printing right away because i want to make my yacht premed this weekend why fox 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 i've been in new york around the world i'm a new yorker so i'm up you know i gotta die i want to. time after time called parisian to repeat the same mantra sustainability it's very important to excel or transition to sustainable prize board sustainability stay number may not be more equitable and sustainable well. they claim their production is completely hama's.

because. it does not the companies want us to feel good about buying their products while the damage is being done far away this is something else this let's keep going to me means i need money. this is the move and news to me didn't even and i'm stunned that me understood so when. is your media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe from. the isolation community. are you going the right way for.

what is true. is right. in the world corrupted you need to. join us live. in the shallows. call come to visionaries shevardnadze this theoretical physics sounds like magic but it's looking forward daring to imagine and list possibilities what will

a serious on the edge of progress change in our lives and when will that happen while after talks about this with brilliant physicist father of this string still theory. thank you very much for being with us today on this program and so glad to measure. so lots to talk about because for us you're one of the greatest minds our times. you know when i think about it every day there are new there are small scale discoveries but then again for years there hasn't been like a major breakthrough in physics and that would help us in general understanding of how the world works what does it really mean does it mean that we've reached the borderline of what a man can actually discover about the physics of the world. no i think that we're just beginning to probe the mysteries of the universe the nobel prize was good

recently for the discovery of gravity waves and we hope to put a gravity wave detectors in outer space a new kind of telescope a gravity telescope think about it all telescopes today use light now we use radio to peer into black holes next will be gravity telescopes that will allow us to peer inside a black hole at the instant of creation itself and so we're going to begin a new realm of astronomy with gravity wave detectors starting with the discovery just made a few years ago so well. can you explain to me about this prize you know the press press says this is so quiet because derek discovers of gravity waves what does it mean can we actually control gravity are we getting closer to controlling gravity and we now have left personally. no no no we cannot control gravity but we

can measure it and harness it and probe some of the deepest secrets of nature itself what would that give us as humans on earth 1st of all will begin to understand where it all came from how the universe was created people asked the question well if there was an explosion at the beginning of time where did the explosion come from where what was the universe like before genesis well we physicists believe that the universe is a bubble of some sort it's expanding that's the big bang theory however we think there are other bubbles out there other bubble universes a multi-verse of universes so instead of just one soap bubble universe as expanding we live in a soap bubble a bubble bath a bubble bath of universes and one these bubbles collide we think that could be the big bang so this cosmic expansion that took place.
