you clayson, the middle east, slam the assassination of right and wrong top nuclear physicist with pledges of retaliation, creating a quagmire for the future. biden administration, and seriously threatening ties between 2 iran and washington. europe's kuantan of mo, a new rights report says hundreds of i saw family members with even citizenship are in here, including kurdish controlled refugee camps in syria. most are women and children. teachers in norway are afraid to show cartoons of the prophet muhammad in class,

according to a survey there and personal consequences following last month's murder of a french teacher. r.t. talked with one of them after the murder all summer. but she, i decided not to show them at all because i felt when the role i felt about my profession was attacked, a very warm welcome. it's just going 9 am here in moscow, and you're watching r t international with mina karan off hours to a heinous assassination. that's how the united arab emirates described. friday's killing of a wrong as top nuclear scientist, jordan, another key player in the middle east also condemns the death as the us. he urged all sides to prevent instability and escalation in the region. the attack sparks uproar in iran's capital with rioters burning the flags of is round and its allies

. the us, as well as torching portraits of donald trump and joe biden, while demanding war with america to run immediately blames the incident on israel, which denies the accusations. here's what we know about the assault with toronto already vowing retaliation. it will only aggravate the triangle of tension between the u.s. israel and iran, as a ghost. all of explains that creates a will headache for future biden administration. so far it's been up to iran to make accusations and israel along side with the u.s.

quite expected. lee. are its prime suspects. warning against any adventurist stick measures by the united states and israel against my country. particularly during the remaining period of the current administration of the united states in office. the islamic republic of iran reserves its right to take all necessary measures to defend its people and secure its interests. in response. israel, the one country whose spies might actually know more about iran than iran knows about itself. has had this to say. i have no clue who did it is not that my lips are sealed because i'm being responsible. i really have no clue. and the united states, the same united states that kicked off 2020 with an open assassination of iran's top general has been completely mute this time. and it would be perfectly fine given the total lack of evidence and nation thousands of miles away from iran had

anything to do with the killing except in the past weeks. several unconfirmed reports claim that donald trump was seeking options to attack iran to further detail. its nuclear program, factories that there would make a perfect target given he was quite a celebrity for israeli intelligence. remember that moon 5 years ago. so here's his direct and uses. the general loom is to announce the closure project on mars. but then the special activities, you know, what that is, special activity will be carried out under the title of scientific know how developments. and in fact, this is exactly what iran proceeded to do. it continued this work in a series of organizations over the years. i know for preside a well, he doesn't know how well i know him. if i met him in the street, most likely i would recognize him. he does not have

a minute. he did not have immunity, and i don't think he will have immunity by aggravating iran. trump would also be throwing a spanner in the machinery of joe biden's foreign policy. given that the president elect has hinted at a friendly, a stance on to iran will offer to iran a credible path back to diplomacy. if iran returns to strict compliance with the nuclear deal, the united states would rejoin the agreement as a starting point for follow on negotiations. with our allies, we will work to strengthen and extend the nuclear deals provisions while also addressing other issues of concern and europe, whose leaders probably still have a p.t.s.d. over january's prospects of world war 3. have been pointing out that this latest killing creates a tough road ahead for biden, a few weeks before the new u.s. administration takes office. it is important to preserve the scope for talks with iran, so that the dispute over iran's nuclear program can be resolved through negotiations

. we therefore urge all parties to refrain from any steps that could lead to a further escalation of the situation. during the past 4 years, trump has sent america's relations with iran, back into the path of us, tell it by unilaterally tearing up the nuclear deal, recognizing jerusalem as israel's capital. and sending his top diplomat on a charm offensive to all of the middle eastern nations that oppose iran. that's definitely what the israelis were aiming for. i mean, they're there, they're sure and hope is that the united states is involved in a military action against iraq. that's, that's their ultimate goal. that's their ultimate object. you know, void of that. the next best thing is to ensure that the united states doesn't improve relations with iran, by rejoining the iranian nuclear agreement in the way you do as a sabotage, any effort at diplomacy. i mean, when you knock off the number one scientist in iran's nuclear program, in a suburb of tehran in a bold, daring daylight attack,

you're not going to have the iranians go, whoa, that's ok. let's, let's get on with diplomacy. it's going to get the reaction. it's getting right now, a hard line iranian response that will further restrict the efforts of not totally shut down the efforts of international inspectors and only increase international concern that iran might be edging towards a military weapon ization effort. this new high profile death, even though there's no hard evidence to reveal the culprits will only once again prove to tehran, that the raw power is hell bent on destroying it, and with the wounds from the assassination of general sonny money still fresh in the mind. no one can be expecting restraint from iran. europe's at guantanamo power. rights groups describe kurdish controlled refugee camps in syria. most are women and children with many of them islamic state family

members holding e.u. citizenship. the report contains eyewitness accounts of inhuman and degrading treatment. last winter 3 and children were burnt alive. we saw the body said the babies. they tried to ban my neighbor's 10 down and the attack was nice. they throw rocks attends. they beat us, has the children. 2 men in military uniforms who had their faces covered with these cards and were carrying kalashnikovs entered very fast. they took my son who was asleep. i screamed, they said, don't scream or we will beat you. the children injured by gunfire had to wait for a long time before being transferred to hospital during the syrian war, hundreds of european women and children have been detained by kurdish militia and security concerns. but the report warns many were manipulated or even forced to travel to the country by islamic state, husbands or recruiters, kurdish authorities say they lacked for sources to manage the comes properly. and

although kurdish authorities admit they must look after detainees, they blame the international community for failing to help. in particular, the e.u. countries who citizenship that women and children hold, member states have ruled them a security threat, so not their responsibility, but lawyers for the refugees say that's just a political excuse. the decision was that the dutch government does not have to pick up these children and these women from syria right now. what the judge says is that this is a political decision. and that it is not up to the judge to decide whether they should do this or not. i emphasize that a national security threat means the threat of the most serious crime to the public . the resists serious risk from anyone who's aligned with ours. so keith, best former vice chair of the european council on refugees, things even if the refugees have committed crimes, they must be tried in their home countries. human rights is something that you just

cannot contain in one country or whatever it is universal. and the laws about human rights should be applied to the diversity and that includes in these camps rather than leaving those even if they. 'd are accused of crimes or accused of having gone to support an action or a group or terrorist group which is contrary to the laws of the country 2 of which there are citizens. but those people should be brought back to the country, prosecuted and tried for that assailants in their country, of which they are a national. i can understand the reluctance of security services wanting these people to come, but, but at the end of the earth, you have to do with your citizens as you find them rather than just forgot all left to be forgotten about most teachers in norway fair personal consequences

if they say cartoons of the prophet mohammed in class, a survey has found that in the wake of last month's murder of french teacher, samuel patty had displayed images of the founder of islam to students. one norwegian teacher says that there are now very real dangers to those working in the profession. after the murder of sam. well, i decided not to show them at all because i felt it's wonderful. i felt my profession was attacked at the moment and the freedom of speech over expression was attacked, of course. and i wanted to find other ways to express myself and to achieve the same goal with my teaching. because the characters get your drawings are not the goal. they're just a part of criticism against a religion. and there's other texts we can use as well. according to the poll,

almost 2 thirds of teachers, fish showing me images, and then france, panties, brutal murders, proving extremely divisive. president mccrone insists the cartoons are about freedom of speech, but muslims are outraged. on the last one of our competitors was murdered because he taught our competitor, it was the victim of an islamist terror attack. the norwegian teacher, we spoke to that they should be free to decide how to explain religion to students . there's the law and that is the law on that one hand and freedoms of speech on the other hand. and we can maneuver in between the limits of those. and i don't

want to have anyone telling me which texts to choose in my teaching. i think it's really important that teacher, it's all around the world is allowed to choose to make those choices by themselves . we have the curriculum and we have these limits. and i think for us it's really, really important too to make choices about these things ourselves. the thing is that the no, each and curriculum has a very important main topic. that's democracy and citizenship. and we are teaching in with the law on one hand, the law against hate speech and in the rain. and we have the human rights on the other hand rights. so we have to maneuver in, in between them and for us. and we will have to find our way to achieve, to develop the students skills and their, an ability to, to read

a text with a critical mind. and i think we can do that even though we're not showing the least specific pictures. and i historic 1st u.s. president elect joe biden selected and all female press t.v. as part of a promise of a more diverse administration. kaleb more process is how an unusually boyens, american media is treating the president elect and his future cabinet. the u.s., mainstream media seems thrilled that it will have a new white house team to report on this january. and the biden administration seems quite thrilled about its upcoming relationship with the 4th estate. and president biden believes that the media is a critical piece of our democracy. he also believes though, that the media's job is to hold him accountable. he walked them, that relationship, the idea of a better relationship with the executive branch is certainly appealing to the media

. you are being very aggressive, as is the job of a white house correspondent, david gregory, and i are sitting here talking about our experiences. pissing off everybody in that room, pissing off president obama. pissing off president bush 1st, long as i've been alive for as long as you've been alive. no leader of the free world has publicly spoken about the press. the way trump does it is poison. already the press are hitting home the hard questions. do you think this is the end of yourself and your business? does russia have any leverage over you the mantra or otherwise? and if not, will you release your friends to prove it? how will that color of your attempts to build a relationship with a leader who has been accused of committing an act of espionage? just kidding. those were the questions they asked when donald trump was transitioning into power. now, at this point, biden has already been the president elect for 3 weeks, and this is how tough it has actually got. going to encourage the unions to cooperate our grandkids back to classroom,

sir. if the media is giving him such a grilling, what do you see as the biggest threat to your transition right now, given president trump's unprecedented attempt to obstruct and delay a smooth transfer of power, you just spoke of. some of the dangers of the president's continued stonewalling of this transition, but it doesn't appear that the president is going to come around anytime soon and admit defeat. so what are you going to do? and what is your message to republicans who are packing up the present refusal to concede? yes, the press is doing its job and being oh, so tough on biden. some democrats want investigations to go forward against president trump after he leaves office. do you support that? there's going to be some tension between getting unity getting things done, working the republicans and investigating any wrongdoing that occurred during the trial administration. so we've got journalists accepting joe biden's, non answers as the focus now seems to shift to his picks for the cabinet,

who all seem to follow a certain pattern. but i didn't. once his teams have people of every race, color, creed, gender, and sexual orientation, who supported the war in iraq. now with poll after poll showing that the american people are tired of foreign wars, you would think that the media would press him on the fact that he's filling up his cabinet with washington establishment or ox. but the mainstream us media has decided not to go there. this is about the least flashy team you could possibly get . they are deeply experienced. they are humble, and they are life long. public servants is the experience of intelligence professionals for 3 years at the cia has been handling the national security team. the transition for joe biden on national security and is a respected intelligence professional trying to repair what is broken here and less focused on the team of rivals, to repair team,

to fix what has been broken. now to be fair, there are a handful of journalists asking the real questions, but this pretty much sums up the new attitude. can we just says take a moment and just i don't want to talk moment to, to drink you in for just a moment. because i'm having to get used to looking at a president again, you know, i've gotten out of gotten out of the habit you got to go. i got a warm up for joe biden. so after a presidential term of digging for dirt around the white house seems like now the media is busy filling the trenches back again. one thing we can certainly expect will be another 4 years that are the polar opposite of the last kaleb up and r.t. new york. and the polls australian military war crimes in afghanistan threatens to affect those who had nothing to do with the offensive. we'll tell you are not the break.

is your media a reflection of reality? in the world transformed what will make you feel safe? isolation or community? are you going the right way or are you being led? so direct. what is true? what is faith? in the world corrupted, you need to descend to join us in the depths

or inmate in the shallowness. join me every thursday on the alex simon show, and i'll be speaking to us of the world of politics, sports business, i'm show business. i'll see you then. welcome back. australia's move to do dismiss a 13 soldiers over unlawful killings in afghanistan as a country. but as the country deals with the fallout from a damning report, daniel hawkins asks if it will hurt those not involved in the crimes. the burden inquiry is sending shock waves through australia, dozens of afghan civilians and prisoners of war, killed and brutalized by special forces the evidence systematically and deliberately covered up. and as the grim details emerged,

the calls for army top brass to take responsibility have grown. in each case is important that not only is there accountability in the defense forces for individual alleged acts, but also in the chain of command about those who had responsibilities and accountabilities in that chain of command. the report was heavily redacted, but it's still described as possibly the most disgraceful episode in australia's military history. and the commanders are feeling the heat. there is a process to be followed here. we've received the inquiry one week ago. we need to follow a very deliberate, very methodical and very fair process. what's the best damage control? well and apology for starters. to the people of afghanistan on behalf of the australian defense force, i sincerely and unreservedly apologize for any wrongdoing by a stroll in soldiers. such alleged behavior profoundly disrespected the trust

placed in us by the afghan people who would ask 1st to their country to help them. action has begun to trickle down so far, 13 soldiers are facing anything from warnings to discharge if they fail to explain their actions. it's still unclear though, if criminal proceedings will go ahead and many feel this is insufficient and unacceptable. it's not the whistle blower's. it's not david mcbride. it's not jail . she manning? it's not, julian. it's noted snowden, it is the war criminals who need to be put in prison. and the moment i came to sinai on this issue was even going to think war crimes. you mean when i mean life a.n.c. troops in afghanistan, defense chiefs have opted to go further and strip medals from the thousands of afghan veterans who had nothing to do with the crimes causing a massive backlash from the military community and beyond. this is not fair on thousands of our soldiers who served with distinction and deserve the thanks of a grateful nation, not to be thrown under the bus. over the last 3 weeks, 9,

serving and veteran soldiers, 8 men and one woman have taken their own lives. though there's no direct proven link to the scandalous britain report. some say perceptions of collective blame are damaging veterans' mental health. basically brand. every soldier sees all of the 3000 as murders, and it's just not right. and it will have an awful impact on these people who are very vulnerable. afghanistan is not a normal war, it's not between it's a guerrilla warfare. the reality is like sending back these soldiers and time again, and i think that was quite wrong. and that explains, i think it what happened and you know,

the politicians have a lot to answer to this and, and everyone's ducking for cover on the leadership has also made clear that responsibility must go up the ranks for what happened in afghanistan. accountability ris with those who allegedly broke the law and with the chain of command responsible for the systemic failures involved. ironically, general campbell himself was in command of australian troops in the country from 2011 to 2012. when most of the killings in a broken report took place, even receiving a distinguished service cross for his efforts, his medal doesn't appear to be up for a vacation. and as the scandal drags on with army chiefs finding themselves under fire from all sides, accused of doing too little too late. dodging blame themselves are now collectively punishing innocent veterans whatever the outcome, the broken report fallout is only just beginning. now going to
