with this challenge in mind the youngest of five children took her academic talent to the us air force academy. the plan was to earn a trip to medical school through military service. back then, a ground-based career must have sounded like a sensible plan. after all being a combat pilot wasn't an option. back then for female officers . and besides, she was on the wrong side of the height requirement for any pilot seat. no women and no people her size were eligible at the time. but after a ride along training mission during one of her summer assignments, kinetic sally realized that flying was just too cool to pass up.some doors were going to have to make open to make it an option and if they weren't open already and mark: sally was prepared to bust them down. that meant taking off three straight rejections for a medical waiver of the height requirement. it's meant inventing new tests to prove her exceptional aptitude not only among the female candidates but the entire pool. it meant not taking no for an answer. and bustling as many tactics as needed until she got to serve. of course, no

well we spoke for tides us air force left and encouraged us think that france should have learned from america's recent experience of an onboard break. though group that is most sickened by this is not normally the age group of soldiers or or navy. servicemen so you know it's not that dangerous per se like in terms of life and death but in terms of operational capability yet it's a bad thing because if a 3rd of your crew is sick and not functional then your ship is not functional well you'd like to think that social distancing and things like that could work with they that those things are not going to be possible on a close quarters ship of any type i actually am surprised that the navy doesn't seem to have reacted and learned from that type of situation because we had that months ago and we could see how it was handled and also what the vulnerabilities were very much a bureaucratic response as opposed to real leadership it seems a little too little too late or despite the risks to silence life the nato secretary general does believe that the real danger lies elsewhere burke has accus

use. the quick recap of our top story this hour now the u.s. air force chief of staff has confirmed yes the valence aircraft crashed in central afghanistan although he didn't confirm whether the plane was shot down the status of the crew is unknown so far the bomb badia jets crashed in the taliban controlled gaza a province earlier the militant group claimed an american aircraft had come down however in their statements they do not claim any responsibility a regional government spokesperson says the flight reported technical problems before crashing and bursting into flames we'll bring you more updates on this story as soon as forget them. we're back at the top of the hour with the latest about. you know world big part of the new 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 smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the back and 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 for watchi

lieutenant general david deptula was formerly deputy chief of staff for intelligence with the us air forcestitute for aerospace studies, a think tank. he defended the decision to assassinate general soleimani. the strike was a measured and appropriate response after 18 months of restraint by the trump administration to a series of aggressive actions in violation of international law by iran. i think you and your audience are well familiar with iran seizing oil tankers, attacking other oil tankers, downing an unarmed us drone in international airspace, and then attacking saudi arabia's oil infrastructure. president trump set a red line — that red line being injury or loss of us lives — he warned iran not to cross it, they did, and he responded accordingly to defend american personnel and interests. now, you know, you just previously talked a bit about strategy, and i would tell you that the action is part of a longer—term strategy to constrain iran's malign activity, rollback iran's influence in iraq, and ultimately deter further iranian aggression. david, you have been involved very closel

or iranian flights use that corridor regularly the americans know this and most importantly the us air force is in syrian airspace illegally they are an occupation force on the ground and the us also illegally occupies syrian airspace. but the u.s. does say it acted on it when accordance with international standards is that not the case then. well that's what the united states always says and the american media and much of the western media will obediently mimic what the government has a say in whether they hate trump or love trump when it comes to iran or many other countries which the united states considers them to be adversaries they will whatever the american government says the media will will repeat obviously the iranian citizens and the lebanese citizens on that flight saw the plane they said so themselves many of them carried out interviews in lebanon when they left the airport or when they were leaving the plane actually and they were all saying that plane that the u.s. fighter jet was very close and that the pilot had to suddenly. make a maneuver in a way to protect the passengers

meanwhile there's this the weaponization of outer space is a serious topic that is why the us air force embarks on a secret mission many are asking. why we're not being told what it's being used for and while many question the motive flight officials are sure a sort of but that allowance by pointing out that it will be dedicated to the victims of covert my team this mission is that i'm out of more than simply an ironic twist or 2 john hardy has the story. like most of the troops involving the x. 37 b. spacecraft this next mission also remains top secret in classified but air force secretary barbara beret said this week the x. 37 b. orbital test vehicle will take off may 16th from cape canaveral air force station in florida for its 6th mission and incorporate tasks for both the u.s. space force and nasa this latest mission comes after the x. $37.00 b. spent 780 days in space completing that mission last october the flight marked the spacecraft and longest mission yet in space all together it's already spent a total of 7 years and 10 months in orbit what we do know about this latest missi

i asked lieutenant general david deptula, a retired us air force commander who controlled some of america'st operations in iraq and afghanistan, if he had any theories why protesters withdrew. i would suggest to you that i think that the iraqi leadership understands the significance and the importance of needing to control these militants who, as i think your audience can see from the clip that you showed, they are not really protesters at all, they are militants of the hezbollah brigades that are really an iraqi—shia paramilitary group. but i think the iraqi leadership understands that they need to control these folks because there are serious consequences if, in fact, they are not controlled and they are allowed to continue their aggression towards the american embassy. i wonder what happens now, and how the united states and iraq get to a point where they can smooth things out in terms of the relationship where iran is involved? that is a good question, the embassy attack and the ongoing us response really present a stark choice for iraq's leaders about the country's future. will they op

russian fighter jets of making what they describe as an unsafe and unprofessional intercept as the us air forceossing multiple times, within about 30 metres of a b52 bomber. the us says it was conducting routine operations over international waters when the incident ooccured. the evening standard newspaper's defence editor robert fox is following the story. this is farfrom this is far from the first insta nce this is far from the first instance of this kind and it's a standard, quite powerful russian interceptor, it's actually a sukhoi—27, known as actually a sukhoi—27, known as a flanker in nato pilots, but very close indeed to a b—52 bomber. these aircraft are relatively old stock models but the us plane was establishing the us plane was establishing the us plane was establishing the us claim that the black sea, its skies and its waters are international areas for international transportation, traffic and transaction and then we must start asking, what is putin doing with such aggressive manoeuvres, and as i said, it's the second and third time in this region, to establish his neighbourhood s
