6 pm from moscow canada's prime minister suggests the us was partly responsible for iran's downing of that passenger plane last week saying the victims would still be alive were it not for the recent escalation of. threats or no threat the u.s. president defends the assassination of a top arabian 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 the government gives in to increased funding demands coming up we have one french doctor direct on the situation. which was have been on strike for several months

hospitals and emergency services units have been sounding the alarm politically nothing has been fast the problem. good evening choose the 14th of january live from us internationals world news h.q. here in moscow and kevin i'm with you for next hour welcome to the program 1st of the rana said it made arrests in the case of the accidentally downed ukrainian passenger plane last week in which all 176 on board were killed. bateau your mouth a little more obvious you are people it is very important in this incident that whoever was at fault or negligent at any level to be identified anyone who should be punished must be punished while the u.s. is being 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 also added that the u.s. killing of a top iranian general in a drone strike well beyond all legal frameworks he said we did a cochon 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 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 that you the combination of washington's illegal actions was 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 preconditions in the form of sanctions. as the crisis ask a lady a passenger plane was accidentally shot down by 2 ran on january the 8th killing $176.00 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 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 area of the us justified his death by presenting him as an imminent threats without actually revealing any details and now though the u.s. called the threat irrelevant 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 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 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 cite a specific piece of evidence what he says he probably he believes are you saying that i meant one i didn't see one with regard to 4 embassies now some countries believe the us is responsible for our school eating this conflict and doing so without hard evidence we discussed sort of monies assassination and trying to claim that it didn't require proof of a threat to the number of middle east experts they told us that the us had no right basically 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 diplomat a 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 we don't like leave 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 the same. thanks to the sharp rebuke to the french government more than a 1000 doctors and hospital workers have stepped back from their administrative duties it's a developing story they say working conditions in the health sector have been gradually deteriorating due to lack of funding and chronic stuff shortages due bensky reports. the moving clued some 600 heads of hospital to parliament and 470 heads of health services and it comes amidst the country's longest running strike in decades they say that is the doctors that they could no longer watch over service that is in adequate and threatens patient safety. 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 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 manages and that has to change i came here from santa go right get humanitarian work so i can tell you that in terms of health care france is becoming like a developing country other issues include a lack of hospital beds for patients and a growing unease it reduced stuffing numbers of hospitals across france now this move will hit some areas of the country more than others in the 2nd largest city must say almost 50 heads of departments are quitting their demanding the government comes up with a plan to fix the system. what we want is for patients to be properly treated at the optimal cost and is efficiently is possible we're being asked to reduce staff numbers to make savings so it's a never ending cycle to break the cycle who must give hospitals what they need to

continue treating people properly we can make budget cuts but for there we need a centralized national plan health is a national problem and we need to invest money into the system the health minister has though defended the government's position she's previously promised an additional $70000000.00 euros in aid include. a monthly risk premium for start the budget that we have announced at 1500000000 or 3 years will allow hospitals to renovate themselves to engage new projects to recruit staff where they're needed and open baz where there is need but this hasn't done enough to quell the anger felt by some medical staff so what will this mean for services well they were they will remain doctors offering medical services what they will no longer be is the backbone of the profession these doctors are resigning from essentially management and did ministry 2 roles roles that often receive no extra pay for it means feature

hospital projects could be hampered and complaints could go unheard their concerns are adding to the discontent in france for 6 weeks of public transport strike is hit services across the country particularly here in paris though many metro lines are now operating partial services while lawyers and teachers of also been striking the pension reform plans.

3 days of mobilization have been called by unions this week in a bid to force the government into retreat i'd already some objectives have been achieved the french prime minister has provisionally taken an increase in retirement age off the table but for many unions this concession is simply not enough challenge even ski auty paris. israel says it's not going to draw criticism leveled at ukraine over the so-called glorification of far right nationalists it comes after the israeli foreign ministry said it was a moral duty of the world to condemn anti semitism with more of the story 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 and to semitism including the group for creation of and 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 muito 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. there are many and no doubt this issue will again be addressed. so as tele star roger federer has found himself in the climate change bad books of teenage activists granted after she criticized his association with the bank credit suisse the financial institutions been investing big time in the

search for new fossil fuel deposits with more than on how we co-chaired mean the bigger picture has become a crucial part of modern realities artie's illiterates. 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 revive 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 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 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 power 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 the last thing that. stops is being human described but it doesn't get

it so you want to see it the way he thinks he's allowed to it's a free will say meaning it's a visit into law. 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 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 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 to 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 equivalent 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. any

a patrol in coeur those thoughts now we're not going away i hope you couldn't to stay with us in the next time it's a so coming up catalonia is self xcel formally their collars poached them on in the music end on your would send to spend enough off to potentially receiving immunity there's a question mark over it from the rest as an m.e.p. complicate did will go through a got live come and coming up when we say you know world of big part of new things lot and could spurious it's time to wake to dig deeper to hit the stories that made stream media refuses to tell more the never we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the baths and shouting past each other it's taught it for critical thinking it's tie to fight for the middle for the troop the time is now for washing closer for watch your

the hawks but the pope's a sense to you something to them they put themselves on a line they did except that are all reject to so when you one of these present injury i'm somehow want to be that's the that that's a go right to be press the said like the before 3 of the ball tempe good good i've interested always in the waters at the how they're sitting there hi again thanks so what she ought international live from russia this now next exiled leader collies poached the mom says he wants to return to spain you may

recall he fled to belgium after that spanish court issued a european arrest warrant no less for him for organizing a band independence referendum we covered a lot here in catalonia and 2017 now before any return however he needs assurances that he's going to be immune from arrest through his new status as an m.e.p. for spain said this is complicated speaking outside the e.u. parliament in strasburg he remained defiant in his stance against madrid. natalie remember a state of european union called spain which doesn't respect the rule of law europe . is european. so we are here you know to to remember and to claim to 2 european union issues to be involved in a solution based on dialogue doing politics and respecting the will the people and the will of the people of catalonia to decide in a free referendum our own future. well that's his side of it on the other side of

it the spanish supreme court issued an account of the case against the former calculator and says the events in question of got nothing to do with the man's work as a parliamentarian now and a focus on his actions in the years that far predate him becoming an emmy pay so it's complicated pilar a phone a strategic and political analyst front of the brussels based think tank to the foundation is going to try and talk us through a that but it's difficult this is kind of uncharted territory isn't it to know where this is going to go because we've got a politician who's a wanted man in spain but he's representing spain now isn't any pain felt wants to go back to madrid how is that going to work what do you think's going to happen. to separate between spain and the institutions particularly the european court of justice is quite disruptive because we see that the european court of justice is the core issue the core instrument of european integration so it's disease and

directly the nation state legal system there is no way to contradict to that and instead spain has overruled such a disease of of the european court of justice issued its own superior court decision about one of the elected parliament garvin's to the european parliament for the other 2 or 3 were here and they have got the access to the parliaments always friends to the intervention of the european court of justice now it is true that there is a problem if there immunity is don't spend you saw oil it's very unclear because the the the ways spain is doing looks reaffirming its own serenity without taking into account the unit level of diction but of course the colors 1 push the wrong if you like as far as madrid is concerned is the sculptor if you like where does he stand with immunity now is an m.e.p.

our account can i pound son if it goes by it's weird what is the you know the lawyer but what is the position as far as you know it. well it effects the immunity as an elected member of the european parliament which he has because he has been accepted as such you should be able to move throughout the youth be in congress without any impediment so the so to pose arguments and. speed and simply disregards the decision of the european court of justice because what they have done is to issue a new ruling of the supreme court in spain basically saying the opposite about the . possibility of recognizing the munity to elected members of european parliament which is very disruptive actually it's a very serious breach at legal level in the european system so in

a nut shell if it goes back to madrid now is he going to be arrested legally and what happened then. in principle if you goes to belgrade and he is arrested this should be illegal because he can we for his immunity from the european parliament. or phones to you can political analyst part of the process based think tank supreme foundation thanks for your time will follow this story carefully and welcome. now what are we talking about next now i think completely different style to talk panders and pretty pictures worth the festive season just about or just about over you put it decorations away someone certainly about here about to say next one resident of moscow those found a rather creative approach the annual january cleanup not quite sure when he's angry it's all over not by the way bad.

if you watch know you to ponder expert you can tell us if that's what i know i can tell by the way they go to the tree that's it for now thanks for watching this policy so things look in so far this tuesday early evening from russia so much more to. my name is kevin for me the rest the team just let me remind you of course brand new year as we just said lots for the stateside team to get their title on stuck into the next you know what i'm talking about what should the whole team here to the break.

we're going to fulfill that promise is possible for the people. you know we've all pots. you want to work. all 5 the. big they.

can link up by you. to sleep ponder the future and look into 2020 what fascinating stories will come our way you know i've often said on this show that you can't have capitalism without capital capital without positive interest rates encouraging people to say and this next story this next whole show this next entire segment is going to be dedicated to this very notion. you are no offense but you no longer a young woman in fact you are one of the last living survivors of the nazi ellis asked i'm aware of it. all your life. and you can never forget. i know i was really like to be inhaled because he would

never believe it was a human to ask. cause for 32 years of the earth it. seems so logical for you to make it right when i get out on the farm saw you i'm going to take my son to the next person in hopefully bless her. readings and sell you take. you know you live long enough hawk watchers and you'll realize that the age old adage the more things change the more things stay the same couldn't be more troops. especially when it comes to u.s. 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 the effort to convince us just how justified the president was in the assassination of the iranian military leader qassam solo monny words like imminent threat and exquisite exquisite did televisions were thrown around all the political talk shows in fact president trump himself took to fox news on the ingraham angle and brazenly declared that sola money was targeting our embassies saying quote we will tell you that probably it was going to be the embassy in baghdad i can reveal that i believe it probably would have been for embassies for embassies not one not 2 but for under imminent threat of danger except there's always an except the president wasn't exactly telling us the truth more like his opinion.
