events are being used as a stage for political statements amid revelations many actors speeches were actually written by a company set up by a former barack obama. by their great to have you with us this is r.t. international. and we will start this hour in germany where chancellor merkel's designated successor has announced that she no longer plans to run for the leadership and. will also step down as head of the christian democrats as the ruling party scandal deepens over some precedented alliance with the right wing alternative to germany with details here's our berlin correspondent peter. when the news came through nobody was expecting it whatsoever we knew that there were meetings that were going on following the the fallout from the to the india crisis

last week we knew that there was a meeting going on last night but at that meeting it seems. decided that she could no longer continue as head of the c.d.u. party the christian democratic union and that she wouldn't as a result would be putting herself forward as that party's candidate for chancellor in 2021 it's understood from that meeting that the the reasonings from this is that she didn't feel that she had the support of the c.d.u. top brass the christian democratic union have been suffering in the polls across germany and their relationship in their coalition with the center left social democrats well it's been a testing time of late really the last straw seems to have been what went on in the state of today in july last week where the local faction of the christian democratic union essentially sided with the right wing alternative for germany

spread of the virus similar methods being uprooted across the globe in the u.s. military bases have become makeshift isolation areas for hard evacuees but if you look at some reports it sounds like russia's dusted down its good legs we have total imprisonment all of it looks so surreal people in full body chemical protection suits are constantly coming in but many of the guests have been taking to social media to show just what their temporary lives are like. is one of the. owners here is our room and everything is very good there all the basics. he can easily live 14 days here there is a shower and a t.v. . fridge which i haven't used yet. so wardrobe and a mirror when i come into the room i found fruit sweets and tea on my table everything is good cosy i'm happy. with the evacuees provided up to 4 meals

a day one complaint mentioned they're not allowed to leave their rooms despite this they can chat to their roommates some have been working out but most reading books or watching t.v. has plenty to fill the time. so i'm planning to do my chinese language studies now that i'm going to read i've already done my exercises so i need to stay active and now sit around doing nothing. evacuees are under the close watch of a. medics who make sure they're all doing well but. doctors jackers morning and evening did take our temperature and listen to how we breed examine our throats none of the evacuees are showing any symptoms of the virus and if it stays that way they'll soon be able to head home. south korean film parasite has won best picture at the oscars ceremony in los angeles but it seems the event is becoming as much about politics as it is about entertainment is winning actors work

change use 70 percent of the water it pollutes the most water the statistics are staggering dedicating our lives. to save our environment and figuring out how we can save our but how did we get here when and how did all these major stars catch the woak bug because you didn't seriously think of the all right there except in speeches themselves now did you so perhaps it was right about the time barack obama's auld stuff as and speechwriters switched to offering their services to the west coast maybe jon favreau no not this jon favreau the other jon favreau yes this one he is not just your average scribe he was also a director of speech writing for the former us president and me told me via 2 he

replied that it can only be mandatory which would mean i would have to stay in the united states that the investigation finishes which at that point was over a year in progress so i thought the main reason for why you can was the only reason because again because i had another but 110 shows that year that i would have to risk because i'm stuck in the states and these are major financial risks as well so all i canceled was the american tour which cost me about half a 1000000 dollars in personal losses but we did return tickets and now we are heading for the store again i think everybody should be realistic if there's you know this whole spy thing going on between russia and america i would not be involved my manager music manager would not be involved i don't know why by the way i was a manager for michael jackson that's another thing another 20 years ago. still

ahead new revelations about it's about the death of a u.s. contractor for the new iraqi military base that story amel after this break. the world is driven by. dares thinks. we dare to ask. you know world big part of the law 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 bad 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 we're watching closely watching the hawks. welcome back israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu says that he's ready to result to dress to take measures against gaza following recent attacks on his country. i want to make it clear we will not accept any aggression from gaza only a few weeks ago will eliminate to the senior commander of islamic jihad in gaza i will detail plans i will not least allow actions but we're prepared for crossing

action against the terror groups in gaza. palestinian militant group hamas called netanyahu starts a provocation nothing will only encourage palestinians to fight on tensions have been on the rise after the us president announced a peace plan for the region and he called the proposals heavily biased in favor of israel subsequent clashes lead to numerous civilian victims including children on palestinian family shared one such incident with his and i must warn you may find these images now disturbing 14 year old mohammed has been in a coma since being shot in the head last week by israeli soldiers the victim's family say he was walking in a local park with friends and his father described how he learned about what happened. muhammad was shot in the head i wasn't at home at the time my father got in touch with me he said my son was wounded i was driving at that moment when i got back i saw my son was badly injured he was taken to hospital but

only after soldiers removed the bro blocks and then my son was put in intensive care. and its response to r.t. the israeli defense forces say that their actions were justified as with doesn't palestinians in the area burning tires and throwing stones the idea that it is aware of the boy's injuries one is grandfather told a rather different story. polish would the children went to the park and sore soldiers there of course they were scared so they hid behind a rock at one point they wanted to see the soldiers had gone so mohammad stood up to look and then he was shot a bullet hit him and they had from the right side he lost a lot of blood and fell into a coma he's arms and legs are paralyzed his story is one of many tragedies in our town every time a child becomes a victim people are terrified i can tell you that this soldier is really do shoot children in our. new. obtained by the new york

times counts down some what led to the extreme tensions between the u.s. and around last month baghdad military officials are questioning washington's version of events according to which a tour around backed militia launched the rocket attack on this on an iraqi military base killing an american contractor but the iraqi side says that might have been a very different culprit. so far and this is be the norful here a plague terror volcanoes in shootings and it all began with a very nearly world war 3.

but. one thing leads to another and we're on the brink of that war now imagine finding out that it was all based on a lie as you know as try the u.s. forces were it's not by hezbollah to base near kirk that. the u.s. used the incident of the k one base attack as an excuse to accuse hezbollah and hold it responsible this is a weak and false pretense that it cannot be taken as a justification to target groups that are in the iraqi borders and defending iraq that. iraq is have a least consistencies with trump story 1st the the initial attack which america cited and blamed on the iranian backed by his wallet happened in this

sunni muslim populated area of kirkuk province. she'll muslim such as cut the buys bolo iranians they aren't welcome there if you've never been to iraq let me spell it out taking a walk through the wrong neighborhood can get you killed and fact. hasn't been seen in this area reportedly for years who has made a home in the area is isis they launched 3 attacks here just days before we as iraqi forces cannot even come to this area unless we have a large force because it is not secure how could it be that someone who doesn't know the area could come here and find that foreign position and launch an attack. the villages near here and in the europe there are sympathy with that why do we resort to blame and hizbullah or those american intelligence connected the dots real quick they we examine the truck that apparently launched the rockets at the

u.s. base connected it to caught the best bowler to run side to the intercepted communications and then hid everything literally they haven't shared credit information with their allies or iraq or the defense took office of actions in defense of our personnel interests in iraq by launching 15 strike eagle against 5 targets associated with hizbullah which is named in running in the sponsored shiite militia group and i would note also that we will take additional actions as necessary to ensure that we act in our own self-defense and we deter further bad behavior from militia groups or from iran we have requested the american side to share with us any information any evidence but they have not sent us any information the inconsistency as they mounted mount the truck that the u.s. says fired 31 rockets at them well iraq he's added lies that unfounded fod less

than half of that what adds minor compared to what comes next the iraq war and the u.s. base that there was a growing risk of isis attacking them on november 6th iraq's national security council since a report to the americans noting that since last october i see as terrorists have endeavored to talk one base in cookoo district by indirect fun could use your rockets to sum up here is how it went the americans were warned that isis which controls territory around the u.s. base and hates america was plotting to attack and the intro kits at the base the attack happens so blames and then bomb. abreu radian militia citing intelligence either to secrets or to shameful that show any what you decide the classic justification for not sharing such intelligence is normally that you know there are

affiliated elements within iran and so probably such intelligence could be leaked but at the end of the day you know if there is something serious then probably at least there needs to be some intelligence cooperation the united states never has the whole truth probably they need the iraqi side its side of the story overtly of the events so they would go and have a certain committee under the umbrella you know under which they are cooperating and say look we have this what do you have on the incident but it could well be that the united states not sharing the information means that they actually don't have in from information and that they just want to use this incident in particular as a pretext for doing whatever they wanted to do it in the 1st place ok thanks for staying with us i'll be back with updates for you would have announced them.

when i was. wrong. but all just all. to me you world get to shape out this day become advocates and it gains from an equal of betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground. is your media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe.
