a passenger plane is forced to make an emergency landing at an airbase in syria footage captured the aftermath of the israeli missile attack on damascus which has defense ministry says put the plane in danger. saying in syria damascus defends its military campaign against terrorists creates an emergency session of the un security council the western powers accuse it. destruction. the sheer scale of destruction both endorsed by russia's shows that neither they nor the assad regime can be trusted to deliver a cease fire it is astonishing the desire of some western countries to cross to terrorist groups is the moderate opposition. in britain's determination to stop terror of getting automatic early release from prison such it on

a collision course with the e.u. over human rights we put the issue up for debate these are people particularly when it. started applying it to people who are already been convicted already been sentenced already part of their sentence then it's unfair and potentially a breach of human rights potentially unlawful don't forget they violated people human rights to being there in the 1st place. this is our international thanks for joining us. a passenger plane carrying 172 people has been forced to make an emergency landing in syria after it narrowly missed being hit by the country's air defenses reportedly being fired there in response to an israeli air strike us as defense ministry denounced israel claiming it is used. as a shield. only due to the time the actions of damascus airport dispatches and

efficient operation of the automated traffic control system did the airbus a 320 manage to successfully land the closest alternative if eld russia's base i was on the streets when the attack happened here in damascus at about 1 12 am local time here on thursday on the sec's of this month at about $115.00 local time a loud explosion was heard and that was the syrian air defenses. trying to repel what looked like an israeli attack and then later on the syrian army command issued a statement clarifying what happened saying that israeli fighter jets carried out attacks from over southern lebanon on the occupied golan heights against various syrian army military targets in damascus around damascus damascus countryside and also and which is in that are countryside and the result according to the syrian

army was the injury of 8 syrian soldiers and the russian minister of defense statement which also gave some information unimportant details that there were 4 actually israeli fighter jets who fired at least 8 missiles on various targets in syria at that time and that israel is using civilian and passenger aircraft in order to avoid being hit by the syrian air defense system combat operations by the israeli joint stove involving the use of civilian aircraft to shield and prevent retaliation by syrian air defenses is becoming a distinguishing feature of the israeli air force so this is a very important point especially that russian made it clear that this is not the 1st time that this happens it happened in 2018 when also russia criticized israel for endangering and putting in danger to passenger aircrafts in 2018 of course 2008. in the israeli strikes not coordinated with russia because of the downing of

it washing aircraft with 15 russians on board who were killed were said that time also accused and said that israel is behind did this incident put the 4th one as well because at the end of the day it's really a fighter jets put actually the russian aircraft in the path of the syrian air defense. systems that. israel has previously denied using actually after shields against syrian defense systems though it is yet to comment on this incident does that knowledge it's carrying out strikes in syria to stop iranian military in transhipment artie's contacted the israel defense forces for comment will await their response. is footage capturing the aftermath of the missile attacks that had a suburb 'd in the countryside west of damascus on thursday you can see residents clearing rubble from the streets cars and buildings that have been completely destroyed we spoke to people who live in the area. we woke in the morning to find

this look at this destruction may go take revenge from them look at this people's livelihood is destroyed as you can see yesterday the area was talking to israel this area has a lot of car companies and as you can see many cars were damaged thank god the damage was only material. defense and political commentator i mean or and says that situation could have gone badly wrong. based particular incident could have been dangerous had the pilots of this civilian airliner panicked and instead of. going to come in asking permission to and getting it and lending get come in as an emergency field they would have crashed idea or at damascus international or somewhere near yes this could happen and we did happen. almost exactly 47 years ago in february

of 0973 when israeli planes shot at the libyan airliner and the pilots panicked and crashed in the sinai and there were dozens of fatalities. staying in the region where the syrian government's making progress in its offensive against militant forces in italy province however the un security council has seen heated debate over the operation this series and boy slamming western countries for supporting terrorist groups the u.s. backed claiming syria and russia are endorsing destruction the situation in northwest syria demands an immediate comprehensible and verifiable ceasefire with whom do you want to hold the ceasefire with the entities that you agree to designate as terrorist groups in this council it is astonishing the desire of some western countries to cross terrorist groups in it live. the moderate opposition is the russian bombs that have destroyed searing hospitals and driven syrian children

from their homes we're hearing all of this criticism against russia but none of it is based on anything the sheer scale of destruction both endorsed and facilitated by russia shows that neither they nor iran nor the assad regime can be trusted to deliver a ceasefire it will be syrian territory and any illegitimate military presence there is the responsibility of the state where those nationals come from. the syrian ambassador there added that the security council seems to be transforming into a nato forum on to scale it will print has details quite strong disagreements were articulated between the countries represented at the 15 member body that leads the united nations now when the representative of the united states spoke she had harsh words for both russia and syria accusing them of inappropriate and basically unacceptable actions in their efforts to retake the province of live from terrorist

forces the trumpet ministration condemns in the strongest possible terms the assad regime iran hezbollah and russia's barbaric and unjust by military offensive the russian representative spoke about how it seemed like the meeting was convened for the purpose of preventing the syrian arab republic from retaking the province of live from the terrorists it seems like the meeting was almost scheduled at a range to try and impede the syrian government's efforts this is what the russian ambassador to ben ziad to say these unplanned meets in syria flew a common pattern convene precisely when terrorist groups in the country iran the threats and the syrian government is regaining control of its own territory i would like to remind you that these groups are recognized as terrorists by the security council syria has a right and it to combine terrorists on its sovereign turn a tree now the representative of the syrian arab republic spoke about the need for

his country's territorial integrity to be respected as it is being widely violated with foreign forces in the country who were not invited by the internationally recognized syrian government which is a u.n. member state furthermore you seem to believe that essentially the u.n. security council has been transformed almost into something else you will heard the intervention of the u.s. permanent representative when she said that he is a nato ally. so this is no security council but rather accounts of this is being used as an aid to for him it is an acceptable threat sainz on this house that the united states of america protects to keep going as far as a nation is of the chance of an international my dedication reiterates that attempts by countries to impose nice whose agenda on the security council would among the credibility of this council and refute all the pretext used by some to demonize the syrian state russia recently renewed its offensive against the terrorist forces in it live it is supporting efforts to take back the city from

terrorists and jihad his forces now one particular group terrier al shabab and this is a terrorist group that is widely known around the world for its atrocities for example there are over 1400 attacks with tanks machine guns that have been heavy weaponry that have taken place recently in addition they have been countering civilian protest in ad lib against their ongoing presence in the presence of other militants that there have been attacks on humanitarian corridors which is a violation of international law in addition they have been using civilians as human shield syrian representative when speaking emphasize that their territorial integrity was being very very widely violated and emphasized that they were determined to defeat the terrorist forces and that it seemed like the united states and nato were essentially trying to undermine their efforts and prevent them from defeating these terrorist forces and retaking their province of live. so in this my

ground he thinks west impose a no i'm interested in ending the conflict in syria. well this goes way beyond the concept of terrorists that are is another man's freedom fighter winnowed down to the black and white robes who the west has been supporting all the way through this crisis in syria has been al-qaeda affiliates all the time of all the way starting with turkey the same with the u.k. the same with israel so it just seems that they have no more cards to play we can only imagine what would happen. russian delegation to the un or iranian or syrian something along the lines of will exist of targeting oysters. the west the u.s. and france want to prolong this conflict this is exactly what they're trying to do one of attempting al qaeda affiliates it sounds insane doesn't it but that's exactly what's going on there and we were there appealing to the united nations in order to protect our affiliates you could not really made this stuff up but that's exactly what's going on. some of the u.k.'s 1st policy changes since

leaving me you are causing somewhat of a stir at the former club the government says it wants to and the automatic early release from prison of terrorist and this after sunday's attack in london where 2 people were stamped by a man released from prison just 10 days prior currently convicted terrorists are automatic really after serving half a sentence britain's proposed legislation could breach the european convention on human rights so london is considering withdrawing its membership but the european commission warns that that could force it to end judicial cooperation. the resist partnership should provide for automatic terminations of blue enforcement corporation and judicial corp in criminal matters if the united kingdom were to denounce the european convention of human rights. morris from the in the stomach transparency in human rights and can't debated the issue. is a good idea to have

a parole board that deals with each case individually in principle there's nothing wrong with that but if what the reports are suggesting are correct that mainly they want to change the potential released release date from a half of a sentence to 2 thirds and i think that's where the problem comes in well one of the things is a sense it's in rules are completely to parliament if somebody gets given a sentence 5 years then the surf i've hear stuff should be let out early anyway then when the then you look at the parole and say why are these suitable for release that this is a very very serious and complicated situation that calls for nuanced. periods of debate argument consideration not something that the government rushes through in a matter of weeks is a kneejerk reaction well it has to be at the moment because the government over the last few years of to an absolutely nothing to address this problem and we do know that there is a number of potential of people in prison the moment. issues

that are about to be released but these are people particularly when it if they're going to start applying it to people who are already been convicted already been sentenced already part of their sentence then it's unfair and potentially a breach of human rights potentially unlawful don't forget they violated people human rights to being there in the 1st place if they're still deemed as a safety risk than they should be let out in a way because. who is likely to attack all the people is a violation of those pedestrians and those individuals human rights as well in terms of what's been suggested about you know. we just keep them up until. they go they won't be a risk any more than we have sentences in the fast pace to make the should have been stripped away 5 years if they say 5 to 5 years and release and if the state has to be doen quickly and it has to be told to make sure that london on all the parts of the u.k. safe. coming up an austrian cyclist is the latest to admit his involvement in

a german doping scandal must story after the break. most people think just stand out in this is this you need to be the 1st one on top of the story or the person with the loudest voice of the biggest race in truth to stand losing distance is just the dance the right questions and the right answers. questions. seem wrong. to me. to shape

out these days. and in. the trail. one still find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. welcome back a leading austrian cyclist has admitted working with a german doctor who's facing open allegations concerning more than 20 athletes with the details is peter oliver. doping in sports is at its most fundamental cheating some cheat to win gold medals for others like austrian cyclist stefan to nicole

he was trying to keep his career following a serious injury although for him it resulted in a 4 year ban i'm not a criminal i wouldn't have got a contract without doping of that sentiment was repeated by cross country skiing your highness do or who received a lifetime ban for blood doping as i see it you can't be at the top without doping both of these disgraced sportsmen were patients of the noun the tory is german dr march mit he ran an elaborate criminal ring providing performance enhancing drugs to 23 athletes in 8 countries his motivation was a different kind of gold money but schmidt's operation came crashing down last year during police raids that were part of operation adolescence bloodletting in english whistleblowers lead to several athletes being caught made blood transfusion the

cocktail of illegal supplements they were putting into themselves cost thousands of euro a bike the elaborate process even involved schmidt transporting his supplies in a specially designed refrigeration unit he could wear business with his clients was dealt with often via text message i'm coming i'm the guy with the cooling box we forgot to speak about the name triple x. in 2 weeks i should be ready the investigation is still ongoing and a lot of information is yet to come to light in fact 5 of the athletes thought to be under scrutiny as part of operation are the last remaining anonymous with suggestions they could still be competing while the bloodletting investigation has claimed some big scalps it's clear the lid has barely been lifted on what's. seems to be a much larger problem beneath doping is so ingrained into the culture of sport it's a culture of winning and making money that we can never ever get rid of it's all we

can do is do our best to say to educate young people say look you want to tell you early do you want to have mental it's a go to you would have problems then. it's just impossible to get rid of because there's so much money involved unfortunately money is winning out because a lot of very very high right got needs who are not be noted however we see some credit your retirement study would definitely type things to this operation look at all these people involved in sports teams not the players the coaches to doctors to facilitators they're still allowed to weigh in sports and sadly their usual ask people to get a dog i maybe did maybe did we can retire and i made these big gray try to get rid of doping in sport put the question is perfectly put by you that why having us get the doctors in jail because they know where all the bodies are buried and they will be the last was called every single time. there were fears of

further complications in the botched democratic party nominee elections in the us state of iowa after days of delay with almost all the votes finally counted pete but attention bernie sanders are practically neck and neck following scandals over the counting the party's chairs calling for a review of the results. enough is enough in light of the problems that have emerged in the implementation of the delegate selection plan and in order to assure public confidence in the results i am calling on the iowa democratic party to immediately begin a recant vis the democratic national committee is the one pushing for a recount of us right now people in the d.n.c. are also considering bringing back superdelegates for the explicit purpose of stopping sunders when you recount verse and find that bernie sanders says the winner are you in the d.n.c. going to get out of the way so we can have a fair primary process one of flipping mess as democratic national party chairman calls for an immediate recount verse they would carry on till they get the result

that corrupt dams want. to apologize for mistakes in the mobile app used to deliver precinct results sally was also mobbed by chaos in the reporting process inaccurate calculations unexplained consistencies and missing data. meanwhile the iowa caucus out the glitch prompted one congresswoman to resort to a familiar tactic blaming russia is down the takes a closer look. the u.s. democratic party has a new policy maker hollywood when a movie franchise starts to lose its audience when people stop buying tickets film studios play the trump card reviving the villain. worse. well us democrats need a potent anti trump card out of this year's election so how about hollywood's

golden rule bring back the bad guy i know president putin knows i know him. and he knows me and he knows that there will be similar consequences if he gauges engages in trying to interfere with our election democrats ever so cocky about their imminent victory back in 2016 had to swallow one very bitter and very humiliating pill and since then many believe they've been trying to recover their identity over the past 4 years the democrats ideology has been heavily dominated by a 3 word concept russia is bad that's breaking news russian hackers tried to hack wisconsin's alexion system russia's hacked into a lot of things russian hackers the kremlin claim it certainly looks like they're again and with an eye towards helping this president and they've put all of their

trust into this russia strategy thinking it would become kryptonite for all their troubles and political rivals but the mineral investigation turned out to be the bang of a toy gun rather than a nuclear blast but by that point too many people hoped and believed in the reality of impeachment the promise to remove trump from power was too big to renege on but as the view is got we're. of the main antagonist russia the democrats had to come up with a fresh spin we begin impeachment proceedings now against this president we have confidence in our case that is simply to paul and this president is impeached for life if you find him guilty. you must find that he should be removed the brave face sharod ultimately fell through when the whole impeachment saga saw 0 plot twists and it in the most predictable and boring way no one had allusions that the

president would be convicted but we made the fight for truth that we made to fight for facts and then came the iowa caucus disaster a glitching our caused improper recording of the results failed transmissions of tally then botched the count all together and again there's been absolutely no indication that the democrats have tried looking into how they managed to sink so deep they have resorted to the tried and for some reason trust russia formula and hope that the i were democrats will ask for an f.b.i. investigation in the end i believe that russia has been engaged in interfering with a number of elections dealing with the 21 election i'm sorry the truly 60 election and so the democrats rubber us like politics once again has them biting their own tail. time out of the world news in brief and activists have gathered as

today i sit down with one of the world's most renowned oncology a man who has many famous people among his patients dr david davis. it's so great to have you with us in our program so as you know it's called so if you could visionaries and you are a true visionary in your field so i got a lot of questions like i'm not a professional right so i'm going to ask you a lot of things that actually lie on the surface because that's what most people are interested in i'm ready ok so i don't have the statistic for a world her surgeon ization the latest one and it says that actually cases and the deaths are rising and i'm thinking we have so many new technologies so much research has been done are we still losing the battle no question about it we're losing the battle for 2 big reasons one is we're continuing to smoke so tobacco is still the leading cause of cancer death worldwide and we're doing it more women are

smoking than ever and while some rates are going down in many parts of the world they're going to 2nd is all the new treatments that we have which are really amazing we can turn off on switches and cancer we can have your own immune system attack the cancer but that's just delays things it doesn't cure it buys time and it's quality time so i am optimistic that we can control it but we're not to be able to cure it and in the end people will still die of this horrible disease we have a ways to go so you're saying cancer is incurable cancer is. curable controllable i told you you had diabetes you don't jump off a bridge you go on manage it cancer is going to be the same way to me cancer is a verb not a now you're cancer it's something the body does not something the body gets so my job as a cancer doctor is to change you from a cancer state to a health state that's radically.
