it's for the afternoon here in moscow to headline canada's prime minister now suggesting the u.s. was partly responsible for iran's passenger plane last week saying the victims would still be a lawyer or it not for the recent escalation. elsewhere. threatening u.s. president defends the assassination of the top iranian general because of his checkered past with no apparent evidence of him being an imminent danger to the u.s. and. over a 1000 french health workers threatened to resign from their posts unless someone with the government gives in to increased funding demands we're going to hear from

one french doctor direct on the situation. to see the long hospitals have been on strike for several months hospitals and emergency services units have been sounding the alarm politically nothing has been the problem. for january live from art international's world news age q here in moscow good afternoon for me welcome to the program 1st iran has said it's made arrests in the case of the accidentally downed ukrainian passenger plane last week in which a $176.00 on board were killed. bateau your mouth this you are people it is very important in this incident that whoever was at fault or negligent at any level be identified anyone who should be punished must be punished. the u.s. has been blamed for flaming tensions in the persian gulf leading to 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 he also added that the u.s. killing of a top iranian general and a drone strike went beyond all legal frameworks he said but in a culture of the reports 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 accused the u.s. and fueling an ask a late in the conflict that led to the downing of the ukrainian plane and the deaths so over $150.00 people there was no one can be satisfied with the escalation of tensions in the persian gulf it has 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 know the combination of washington's illegal actions with the assassination of christ himself. 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 iran while at the same time managing the tensions in the region that are brought about by us the stress and 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 earlier 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 and was money team in agreement the answer to bush 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 it could reveal that i believe it would have been for embassies the president didn't say when there was a tangible he didn't see. 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. is because someone is assassination and trying to 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 in 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 diplomats a foreign military general in foreign territory because you 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 or 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 that 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. track in this next to france more than a 1000 health workers are threatening to quit unless the government makes concessions doctors are holding media conferences across the country tuesday to express their anger including in paris we heard from one french doctor about the challenges they say they're facing. the. 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 senegal radiate 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 to increase wages and hospital

funding calls to reform the health system come as part of a wider workers' strike that cause chaos nationwide at the end of 2019 the catalyst for all that of course much of president across planned pension reforms he aims to merge the current complex system into a unified point based one it would also remove bonuses for a wide range of jobs the french pm the has promised to drop this is a controversial one the proposal to raise the pension age from 60 to 64 is a look back there those protests play there. of. of of of of. of of. of. the to.

or a same store a very different angle what we got here seems no issues too tall for this particular protester in paris alam roberts's nabi a is the french spider-man in other words he's climbed this huge skyscraper in the capital to draw attention to those pension reform plans a bit of p.r. for him and i suppose it's because they're a little while he gets the top but he says the elderly should be respected to be able to maintain a decent level of life and there is a very happy man on top there now other news israel says it's not going to withdraw criticism levied it ukraine over the so-called glorification of far right nationalists it comes after israeli foreign minister said it was the moral duty of the world to condemn anti semitism with more on that story now paula slayer. what we're hearing from israel is a message to ukraine that it will not battle to of the debate that's taking place in kiev over the glorification of individuals during the 2nd world war now the israelis are concerned that some of those individuals who are being glorified by

the ukrainian government are people who were responsible for the mess murder of jews during the holocaust people who murdered jews and paul graham's at the same time people who collaborated with the nazis and also anti semitic ideologists of the radical ukrainian national movement now the ukrainian government has responded by saying that this is an internal matter that deals with ukrainian politics and that any kind of criticisms that are coming from israel are essentially counterproductive but the israeli foreign ministry has said as you correctly pointed out that anything that belittles the memory of the holocaust in which 6000000 jews died is something that israel and its allies around the world have both a responsibility and a moral obligation to speak out about preserving the memory of the holocaust the battle against anti semitism including the group for creation of. murders of jews are not an internal matter of any country now the israeli and polish ambassadors made public letters that they go to the ukrainian government criticizing those

individuals that it was glorifying in response the creating an ambassador to israel said that the revival and preservation of the ukrainian national memory was one of the priorities of this government and that it was really up to experts and historians to have the final say in this whole debate central to the whole conversation is the figure. now many in ukraine still glorify him in regard him as a national hero but he was in actual fact the leader of the radical ukrainian national movement and he was accused and found guilty of the mess muhtar of jews next week the ukrainian president vladimir who happens to be jewish himself will be here in israel he will be participating in a holocaust commemorate. 70 and no doubt this issue will again be addressed. next was tennis star roger federer his father was of the climate change bad books of teenage act of his gratitude after she's criticized his association there with

bank credit suisse the financial institution's been investing big in the search for new fossil fuel deposits with more and how eco shaming will generally become a crucial part of modern reality these days is. 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 in 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 off presidents and prime ministers like that we are in the beginning of a mass extinction and what you can talk about isn't money if came to tales of economic growth how do you. an example from just a couple of days ago a single read tweet by greg revived

a scandal from 20 thing 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 read tweet it 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's 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 over that mighty grow i'll show you more of how her shaming powers stretch far beyond the face. miss you on 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 sort of stops is being human disgraceful but it doesn't cut 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 go well together yes but it can be a discussion that's hard 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 run has been peddling the flight shame movement on line 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 who've 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 when 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 are 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. 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. it's going up 70 minutes past 4 in the afternoon moscow time thanks for watching around the world for watching us out international now coming up. 3 humanitarian corridor which is big news allowing civilians to flee syria's war torn middle and province has been done before this so where's it going to go peter foldes going to explain on the back. the world is driven by dreamers shaped by.

the day or thinks. we dare to ask. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy on sunday shouldn't let it be an arms race. spearing dramatic developments only. i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. i get another developing story this new year russia says it's opened up 3

humanitarian corridors now to allow civilians to flee syria's rebel controlled italy province it comes after moscow and brokered a cease fire the russian military estimates a 1000 people have crossed over to areas under government control in recent weeks damascus it intensified its efforts to retake it live from high yet. the united nations says over 300000 people have fled their homes since december on a taking shelter near the turkish border let's go to peter foldes you come past of the city. take on this a pizza and we were doing pre-check the sound check. how many times this kind of thing has happened before safe car doors opened in this adlib area to allow people to get out if they wanted to before something else happens it is going to be successful we're 1000 people have to use these routes already to expect more to come. i'm sure and you know. we heard

the. time that humanitarian corridor between oakland and there will probably be a 4th and. present fire being agreed in over 25 day already there are violations. both high but i think russia. government. genuinely want to try to avoid where it would be on by syrian forces from what they were in rebel held in libya because of the humanitarian suffering and they do genuinely want the car to use so far but but by the very nature of them are they there are they are probably into something worse to come if eli is giving people a chance to get out of that area to get to some safety whether you perceive the

safer to be on that side or not is there worse to come there what you think is going to happen over the coming well after the shooting the $25.00 days old was going to happen after that. if you in every possible way. ironically were trying to retake the next life. if you. grab like you were probably 3 or 4 more to come that being we working in ainslee is the next thing that we could we include the. now in the moderate muslim. syrian army camp on the edge of that now without pay when the ceasefire or more they are imposed by russia which is master of the situation because by. and.

but it also depends on whether people feel it's part of the bobby and with you that they. both got violations by the jihadi as opposed to remove. the we are. which as you mentioned with. no ca to remove them from the front. allow. order to be reestablished if it. had 3 chances already to do that it will fail and i don't. mean jam working out so this al area this whole area around did lay but it's been seen as the last major rebel bastion in syria so it can't really under under play its importance as far as serious concern could be it. try. to get her to not go private syrian government but there is another area in on the law.

very close to it being along the border which you controlled by a group known as you describe and. they are. going through the national army which are directly on the payroll. i think the hope. for you but it was only 8 by sharon will all be in the national army we. find if you like. that going to be there for failure well we're really early into a new year but already against syria 'd that whole area back on the on the cards very much to see what's going to happen there trying to project whether it's going to kick off again but thanks for that for now and your employer on the on where it

might go for now that's pita for the you can pastor to syria bahrain for march say . $21.00 saudi service men being trained in the united states are 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 air base in florida which claimed the lives of 3 american sailors now attorney general william powers announced at 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 in rolled 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 marc 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 asked for has taken these actions to protect our service. men and women. or kerry we got pretty pictures a look coming up now with the festive season over it's time to take down all those decorations and get rid of the tree. but one resident of moscow's who's found a rather creative approach to that little annual january clean up.

time is now we're watching closely watching the hawks. do the f.t.'s primary role isn't regulation of what the label says it is and there is actually in there's the f.d.a. is not regulating quality production sourcing any of those things they're regulating that what you say is on the label is actually on the label the most shocking thing about the pet food industry that that has remained since basically i started doing this work is the f.d.a. compliance policies i still cannot understand how and industry is provided by a federal tax supported organization loopholes to avoid federal law if you go to the f.d.a. website and just type in compliance policies and then scroll down the page to hand feed and and there's one after another they allow contamination by

pesticides contamination by industrial chemicals contamination bad natural toxins contamination filth micro biological contamination over tolerance for permanent drug residues. it's incredible. the law says that can be but the compliance policy says don't worry go ahead when you won't enforce. for all practical purposes there's nobody looking out for the average dog in 2006 the mystery illness begin to sicken thousands of pets across the united states and canada thrusting the industry into the spotlight like never before. ok everyone is so forget about this recall tell us what do people need to know about this recall so it's menu food menu foods menu foods menu foods menu foods on march 16th 2007 many foods began recalling dog foods produced in their
