was i. to headlines this the united states is partly responsible for the accidental passenger plane last week in iran. say the tragedy was triggered by washington flaming tensions in the region. threats or no threat the u.s. president defends the assassination of a top iranian general because of his checkered past with no apparent evidence of being an imminent danger to the u.s. . you know the news 21 saudi military members are expelled from training facilities in america for possessing and jihad this and indecent material the move follows the investigation into a deadly shooting committed by a saudi cadet at a u.s. base already more than a month ago. prover 1000 french health workers threaten to resign from their

posts unless emanuel micron's government gives in to increased funding demands coming up we hear from one french doctor on the situation. hospitals have been on strike for several months hospitals and emergency services units have been sounding the last the politically nothing has been the problem. just turned live from our to international news h.q. here in moscow is kevin owen with you well welcome to the program 1st that iran has said it made arrests in the case of the accidentally downed ukrainian passenger plane last week in which all 176 people on board or killed. bateau your motto morbius you are people it is very important in this incident that whoever was at fault or negligent at any level and identify anyone who should be punished must be

punished while. the u.s. is being blamed for flaming tensions in the persian gulf leading to what's been described as collateral deaths that's the assessment of the russian foreign minister as he was speaking to the media about the escalating middle east crisis so i also added that the u.s. killing of a top arabian general in a drone strike went beyond all legal frameworks but it a coach has the details russian foreign minister sergei lavrov is currently on his asia tour and his 1st stop was here and sri lanka speaking to the media after the talks the minister specifically touched upon the situation in iran so gay lover of accuse the u.s. and fuelling an ask a late in the conflict that led to the downing of the ukrainian plane and the deaths of over $150.00 people this is no one can be satisfied with the escalation of tensions in the persian gulf it is cost lives we cannot move away from the fact

that it all started when the us announced that regional troubles resulted from iran's actions you the combination of washington's illegal actions with the assassination of the money he was on an official visit to iraq that killing went beyond all human boundaries and the u.s. when inviting iran for dialogue is so sets forth preconditions in the form of sanctions. as the crisis ask a lady a passenger plane was accidentally shot down by tehran on january the 8th killing 176 people on board 2 around acknowledge the downing but said that it cannot be blamed for the tragedy alone and that the u.s. has to bear they were sponsibility and canada the country that lost 57 nationals people that were on board the plane also move to pin some of the bullying on the u.s. i think if there were no tensions if there was no escalation recently in the region

those canadians would be right now with their families international community is being very very clear both on needing to have a non-nuclear while at the same time managing the tensions in the region that are brought about by us this recent escalation started the u.s. killed iranian top general can seem silly money in a drone strike in baghdad on general. now in the latest twits president donald trump has again leapt to the defense of america's drone strike association of the iranian general of the u.s. justified his death by presenting him as an imminent threats without actually revealing any details and now though the u.s. called the threat relevant the freak news media and the democrat party are working hard to determine whether or not the future touched by terrorists or money was

imminent was money team in agreement the answer to both is a strong yes but it doesn't really matter because of his horrible part of the u.s. defense secretary admitted that he did not see any specific evidence to suggest more attacks were imminent could reveal that i believe it would have been for embassies the president didn't say when there was a tangible. inside a specific piece of evidence what he says he probably he believes are you saying that if i invent one i didn't see one with regard to 4 embassies now some countries believe the us is responsible for ask elating this conflict and doing so without hard evidence we discussed some of his assassination and from his claim that he didn't require proof of a threat with a number of middle east experts they told us that the us had no right killing a diplomat on foreign soil u.s. administration's policy is not based on fact it's based on lies and misstatements and it's not based on the international rule of law it's based on 2 other things

one is the view that the us is an exceptional country that it is it does not have it is above international law doesn't have to pay attention to the rules and it's also based on the false notion that the us is the only superpower and a uni polar world us administration still act as if they are the cops of the world they are the bullies on the block and they can take whatever actions that they feel are appropriate for them irrespective of international law american sesame to a foreign diplomat to foreign military general in foreign territory because he didn't like him to put it very simplistically they didn't like him but was the underlying problem. what is to stop america tomorrow from saying well we don't like for example mr putin and we don't like the russian foreign minister all the chinese foreign minister or the british foreign minister for that matter or the french or

anyone if they don't like someone does that mean they can turn around and say oh we're going to organize a drone strike on this person and kill them this is the law of the jungle this is not the law of civilized people this is not sane. $21.00 saudi servicemen being trained in the united states had to be expelled from the country for possession of jihadist material and child pornography the decision comes more than a month after a shooting at a naval base in florida which claimed the lives of 3 american sailors attorney general william powers announced that the pensacola shooting was an act of terrorism. kingdom of saudi arabia determined to disk material demonstrated conduct unbecoming an officer in the royal saudi air force and in the royal navy and the 21 cadet have been disenrolled from their training curriculum in the u.s. military and will be returned returning to saudi arabia later today the united states they are sending back those nearly 2 dozen saudi military students from

a training program and sending them back again home to those 2 dozen servicemen they are not accused of aiding the 21 year old saudi air force lieutenant in last month's shooting that killed 3 an injured 8 but secretary of state william barr is calling the shooting at the naval air station in pensacola as an act of terrorism and ronnie also posted anti-american anti israeli messages on social media now one of those messages even being posted just 2 hours before the shooting on december 6th the justice department learned during their investigation that 21 members of the saudi military who were training here in the u.s. possessed a derogatory material and of those 2117 had social media profiles containing jihadi or anti-american content however bar says that there was no evidence that they were involved with any terrorist activity or groups also it's important to note 15 individuals were found to have accessed child pornography now bar says that saudi arabia determined the material demonstrated conduct unbecoming of an officer in the

saudi royal air force and the royal navy and as a result those 21 cadets have been an enrolled and they are all returning to saudi arabia at this shooting has now made the pentagon halt any flight training for saudi military aviation students at 3 florida bases national security adviser robert o'brien said that u.s. officials and defense secretary mark esper are proceeding with caution saying quote pensacola showed that there are errors in the way that we vetted and out of an abundance of caution secretary asper has taken these actions to protect our servicemen and women. released on this show you frontin spokes about things the education people receive the govt can do is always encouraging violence. if you take an average saudi military officer i would actually wonder what wouldn't drive them to this experience the. research by the state for gulf affairs has shown that the textbooks from 1st grade through 12th grade all the saudi public schools

basically teach demonization of jews christians non wahhabi muslims apostates people who don't observe the very strict dictates of the wahhabi religion in which is the saudi the main saudi religion that is continued then in some of the official literature that the saudi military forces read there's a lot of reporting about the what you would call a blind spot at specific to the trumpet ministration but if you look back every administration has pretty much approached the saudi regime the same way there was very little pressure on them to change what they do on the ground in terms of basic human rights in terms of the incitement that i mention in their textbooks in their defense establishment which u.s. officials have known about this incitement in the military establishment for years . this is making news guys day swiss tennis star roger federer has found himself in the climate change bad books of teenage activist credit. she criticized his

association to the bank credit suisse the financial institutions but investing big time in the search for the new fossil fuel deposits is the problem with with more on how he has become a crucial part of modern reality than he's out he's in the picture and. do you know gratitude berg by her role as the world's number one a green activist or the number one shaming master well she's really been up to trying to perfect her reputation and both and it's paying off her influences skyrocketing womyn of the year in sweden person of the year in the time magazine i mean how many teens do you know that told of presidents and prime ministers like that we are in the beginning of a mass extinction and what you can talk about isn't money it came to tales of economic growth how did you. an example from just

a couple of days ago a single retreat by gretta revived the scandal from 20 and made the man they called the greatest tennis player of all times find excuses for being partners with a bank here are the shaming lines she retreated since 2016 credit suisse has provided 57000000000 to companies looking for new fossil fuel deposits something that is utterly incompatible with climate action roger federer do you endorse this and so roger federer sponsorship deal with the swiss lender was back in the news and the sports all round mr nice guy had to reassure the public he cares for the environment oh that mighty grow i'll show you more of how her shaming powers stretch far beyond the famous un walls but it's just that for now not everyone's so sure that anyone who deals with banks which give loans to non green

industries should be publicly shamed public shaming and taking the right people to have stare an opinion away i think that that stops is being human described but it doesn't make it so you want to see it the way he thinks he's allowed to it's a free will say mean and activism don't. well together yes but it can be a discussion that's had to say well maybe we should celebrities should be a bit more careful in picking this ponces ecological issues should people people's attention but not by publicly shaming an individual however it seems neither gratitude nor her fellow activists have any intention of scaling some of that shaming down yeah why do it if it works so well so what can you be shamed for nowadays stay away from anything that has to do with fossil fuels even if you're choosing a bank shame on you if you fly never heard that was a sin well read has been peddling the flight shame movement online for

a while now why can't you stop flying on planes it's easy. how about you stay home and take some climate action instead climate compensation he's the planting of trees enough to excuse your flights while some folks of already tried to paralyze a london airport the world's aviation authorities even trying to stand up for its industry. we will launch a very very big to explain what we have done what we're doing and we intend to do in the future activists are currently after german engineering giant siemens for going ahead to fulfill a contract with a coal mine in australia what for now coal or fossil fuels altogether aren't legal right it all makes you wonder what's next what you're going to do when grettir comes for you will it get to the point when miners and their families are booed at

for what they do for a living just a short while ago we had at least here in germany eco shaming against people with s.u.v.s. and off and on we have it for like people that are taking trips in aircraft seems to be a moving target it seems to go from plastic bags to beef to. the trees to coal mining gets the people are so frustrated they feel they have to do something even if it's almost irrelevant like in the case of siemens right now who's accused of making railway signalling it couldn't which is being used by the mining company i mean that's a pretty. big stretch to go from zeman signalling equipment to say that has something to do with the climate problem and the forest fires a growing army of activists would say the whole of mankind has no other choice but to use some of gratis shaming skills if it once

a future that there are still probably many of those who wouldn't mind a little more green tolerance from master to burke and co. this is art international live from russia exactly 16 past the hour coming up health workers in france are throwing down the gauntlet is they war funding which is going to go to the drug a good woman. you know world a big part of the lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that made stream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smart we need to stop slamming the door on the back and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for

the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. the world is driven by a dream shaped by one person if there is. no day or thinks. we dare to ask. again israel says it's not going to withdraw criticism levied at you crazy no for the so called glorification of far right nationalists it comes off to the israeli

foreign ministry said it was the moral duty of the world to condemn anti semitism it's got late to support us later on this when she's in israel a poll or television not backing down but what triggered this criticism in the 1st place what about for us. well tell of a 2nd not backing down israel saying to you crane that we will not have this conversation that is taking place in ukrainian capital. of kir over the border for cation our figures from the 2nd world war not here we have specifically as well concerned that figures who are being glorified are people who were responsible for killing jews during the holocaust killing jews during paul graham's people who collaborated with the nazis and at the same time anti semitic ideologists who are part of the ukrainian national movement now the ukrainian government has said that this is an internal matter that it really has nothing to do with israel and that any kind of objections that are coming from israel are really just are really just counterproductive to the whole conversation far from agreeing with this the israeli

foreign ministry has issued a statement in which it says that the memory of the holocaust in which $6000000.00 jews died is not only a moral responsibility it's also an obligation. preserving the memory of the holocaust and the battle against and how do you semitism including the group for creation of anti semites and murders of jews are not an internal matter for any country. now if the incident was triggered when the ambassadors to ukraine from both israel and poland published an open letter criticizing the ukrainian government over the glorification of figures from the 2nd world war in a response the ukrainian ambassador to israel said that the revival and preservation of the national memory of ukraine is one of the prophecies of this new government and he said that this is an issue that should be left to experts and to historians but of course the israelis are disagreeing with that and central to this whole

conversation is the figure of stephan bandiera now he was the leader of the radical ukrainian nationalism and he was accused of being behind the murder of thousands if not tens of thousands of jews next week the ukrainian president vladimir will be visiting jerusalem where he'll be participating in commemoration services for the holocaust known as. as for this day and no doubt this topic will be part of the conversation happening then sure it will be a poor slayer intel of you things the update on the long running story corps thank you. know slightly less long running story but it's been going for weeks nonetheless months in france more than a 1000 health workers are threaten to quit unless the government makes concessions doctors are holding media conferences across the country choose day to express their anger including in paris we heard from one french doctor about the challenges they say they're facing to. hospitals have been on strike for several months

hospitals and emergency services unions have been sounding the alarm but politically nothing has been done that's the problem from the point of view of medical ethics doctors must treat patients but we don't have the necessary resources we've been killing our health care system for the past 20 or 30 years we have completely changed our control system at the moment all decisions are taken not by medics but by administrative staff and managers and that has to change i came here from center go to humanitarian work so i can tell you that in terms of health care france is becoming like a developing country among the demands being made are increased wages and hospital funding calls to reform their health system covers part of why the workers' strike that caused nationwide chaos at the end of 2019 and many more crimes planned pension reform aims to merge the current complex system into a unified points based system it would also remove bonuses for a wide range of jobs now the french pm has promised to drop one particularly

crucial part of it there are a lot of people angry the proposal to raise the pension age from 62 to 64 is a look back at how the protests have played out. the to the same store but a much much lighter note what we got here well that's. no issue too tall for this protester in parities of course the french spiderman up he goes he's climbing a skyscraper in the capital to draw attention to those pension reform plans he says the elderly should be respected and be able to maintain

a decent level of lively got the cash to. the current leader of the us democrats early battle to elect a candidate for this year's presidential elections causing panic in the party's ranks sees a familiar face too but bernie sanders being the front runner in the state of iowa has other candidates worried over whether or not he can actually sit in the race for the white house. he still needs to be mindful of some point he might need to rally millions of people to support someone else that's not easy you can't just flip a switch it's a process your supporters have to believe you're being genuine in your endorsement and you have to convince them bernie sanders is the democratic party's version of donald trump thank god we're smart enough to stop him we'd all be better served if you focused his disgruntled energy on donald trump i was disappointed to hear the bernie sending his volunteers out to trash me i hope bernie reconsider and turned

his campaign in a different direction well that was sound his biggest challenge are currently massachusetts senator elizabeth warren who as we heard there has been accusing him of some duty tactics to undermine the chances she's referred to the sounders campaign reportedly using a script that would suggest warren only appeals to the country's most affluent voters this is a tactic that sound good people online. such don't controversy elizabeth warren claims her campaign is being smeared by standers volunteers noting that her base are generally more affluent and educated than of vermont senators poor lis she's desperate who knows would follow outreach tomorrow warren is desired it's so not surprise she decided to bash sanders and go for this kind of tactics despicable. bernie sanders responded saying that he never personally said anything negative against elizabeth warren we spoke to a lawyer and former candidate for new york city council money alastor who believes

the democrats like a unifying message either which way. great now it's war in the sense it's democrats and aggressive democrats and every other democrat running for the presidency is trying to gain some kind of a pants which i don't so you know they're really trying to. you know you know get the spotlight to get their message across and probably. that grand are going to get her head start program since we can't really have to for. your kind is what i hear . that's all the. route in so many areas i think that's a little bit less of. an absolute rest and it tends to i think a lot. and that's it for now folks watching those things looking so fathers choose the afternoon live from russia so much more about the don't call my name is kevin

though in this is out international and of course a brand new year and lots for the stateside team to get their talons into you know them talking about what should the whole box the team here after the break. thanks guys or financial survival guess. what customers go behind you or do something. then else well we do some our. that's undercutting but what's good for food markets it's not good for the global economy. but it's ok if you. want to. focus on. what. you see in the bush not budge pretty. good nobody.

really believes you. i am no more. oh yeah don't let. me know what. i am. join me every thursday on the alex sullivan show and i'll be speaking to us of the world of politics all those lists i'm show business i'll see of and. good food descriptions summed up the tasing even for the owners so how to choose his pet food industry is telling us what to feed our pets really more based on what

they want to sell us then was necessarily good for the pet turns out that food may not be associated as people believe we have animals that have you know diabetes in arthritis they have auto immune disorders they cut allergies we are actually creating these problems and it's a huge epidemic of problems all of them i believe can be linked to very simple problem of diet and some dog owners so heartbreaking stories about their pets less treats the larger corporations are not very interested in proving or disproving the value of their food because they're already making a $1000000000.00 on it and there's no reason to do that research. data. that was bob i'll try not to.

just one magic bullet you could actually come up with some of the top of these baby bonds talking about ways we get access capital and capitalism capital is important so we could actually have programs that actually help folks who want to do that but when you give everybody a $1000.00 i'm a poor person i'm going to consume that and if you're rich you're going to invest that. the wealth disparity is going to grow because you're you're not using your money to do it can so you're literally buy more crazy things and then my landlord knowing that i got a $1000.00 and you just go raise my rent so then you get your inflation going on in their.

readings and. you know you live long enough talk watchers and you'll realize that the age old adage the more things change the more things stay the same couldn't be more true especially when it comes to us foreign policy you see while the faces and names of u.s. presidents may change the feckless excuses for our military adventurism drone assassinations and regime change wars do not recently we've seen u.s. president donald trump and his pack of political sycophants and administration officials scrambling over their words in an effort to convince us just how justified the president was in the assassination of the iranian military leader qassam solomonic words like imminent threat and exquisite exquisite intelligence were thrown around all the political talk shows in fact president trump himself took to fox news on the ingraham angle and.
