that's all according to the russian defense ministry and at this point that's roughly all we know apart from not knowing whether or not other syrian forces were injured or killed in that attack i'm sure that information will come later on. to get the latest on our breaking news this hour. earlier in the week and almost a year on from the grand fell fire in london in which seventy two people died a public inquiry into the tragedy was the official it opened with emotional testimony from victims' families and survivors the first to speak told of how his son was stillborn just hours after the tragedy you may find some of the following video upsetting. so i held my son. hoping it's what i treat my wife. she's made of the hottest the serial. killer for strength coach will be. the week went on more survivors have been giving their accounts of how events unfolded and how their loved ones were lost the probe was set up to look into wider issues like the government's response time preventative actions and here a cheater has been to meet locals who say be are frustrated at how little has changed i

the president through the defense ministry and through to the foreign ministry as well is that essentially this investigation is biased that it's been using discredited information that's come from the ukrainian secret services that's been cobbled together through various open source online. sources and also bloody made putin said yesterday when he was speaking about it in a press conference with your macro on the the french president that the russia had been excluded from the joint investigation team itself now there is actually a legitimate reason why that is the case the joint investigation team is made up of countries who lost nationals in the mh seventeen downing russia didn't therefore it has not been invited to take part in russia also blocks a u.n. investigation which is why the j.i.t. is investigating this in the first place it i think there were lots of countries who actually wanted this to be done under the auspices of the united nations that was something that russia didn't want to happen so you know we're getting responses from russia it's essentially the same thing that we've

people who gave their testimonies on record to the european and american media and the russian defense ministry as you heard there was very critical of the j i t's conclusion namely the evidence that was discounted than the evidence that was used a lot of which relied on an organization called belling cat a citizen journalism and a group using open source data of videos from you tube images from social media to build their version of events with the joint investigative team themselves saying that many of the conclusions that belling cat had come to also fitted in with their version of events that we realize that the belling get investigation team already reached the same conclusions and published them so we as the joint investigation team have our own independent investigation and the conclusions we draw from it must be based on legal and convincing evidence which will stand in a courtroom so much of the evidence presented that was of course accused as refutable proof of russia's involvement or indeed russia's guilt in the downing of this plane but aside from having their evidence used in these

it appears that the french ministry of defense has had a secret agreement with my. cross off for the past ten years even the french parliament wasn't informed of the agreement or its content. it's the contract between the french ministry of defense and microsoft and we have no doubt either amount of money or any legal procedure. it was all black and you can see these all black and what is important in this country is the amount of money. they spent on that and it's all like in the amount of money and it was not even come here in front of the senate because it's an important thing that they are asked directly to the ministry of defense we should definitely in it or because she just doesn't demand of her for a commission of inquiry. yet another redacted contract once again a private corporation has prohibited a government from fulfilling its legal obligation to inform the public the french parliament has resolved to investigate how much the state actually pays microsoft in licensing fees some sources believe it's two hundred euros per workstation per year if the same a

years, and today in 2010 -- or 2018, this work is carried out by an organization inside iran defense ministry. you will not be surprised that spnd is like by the same man who -- is led by the same person who led project amad, dr. mohsen fakhrizadeh, so this atomic and many of his key personnel .orked on project amad so this atomic archive clearly shows iran planned at the highest levels to continue work related to nuclear weapons under different guises and using the same personnel. i want to give an example of iran's nuclear weapons-related activities that continued after project amad. you all remember the fordow uranium enrichment facility. can we show that? undergroundecret enrichment facility that the iranians built under a mountain. you don't put thousands of centrifuges under a mountain to produce medical isotopes. you put them here for one reason. nuclear weapons. enrichment of nuclear weapons. but the files show that fordow was designed for nuclear weapons as part of project amad. here is an original iranian blueprint. what happened was that iran continued to build years after the proj

itself is biased they even presented an alternative version of what could have happened the defense ministry said that the the the air excuse me the anti aircraft system that was used to down the plane couldn't have been russian because it was too old and wouldn't have complied with with security conditions in the russian army they then use that information to point the finger squarely at hugh crane because they said that ukraine does have soviet anti aircraft systems so they're denying and pointing the finger at ukraine ok well you know the dip is to be very determined on what it's doing here let's just listen to the dutch from an assistant here's how he explained his government's accusations. there. let it be clear that because of the outstanding work of the joint investigation team there is now indisputable proof of a direct link between the missile with which flight m.h. seventeen was shot down and the russian army. ok the dutch. clearly very determined that they also want moscow to negotiate over reparations emulates has the kremlin commented on that point briefly if you may. well kreml

showed these images said to be syrian anti-aircraft defenses targeting israeli rockets israel's defense ministry said its forces hit over fifty iranian positions across syria prime minister binyamin netanyahu case the justification. of iran has crossed a red line our response was appropriate our army has carried out a large scale attack on iranian targets in syria. we're engaged in a long term conflict and our policy is clear we will not allow iran to establish a military presence in syria iran provides political and military backing for the regime of syrian president bashar al assad in the country's civil war israel says it strikes a retaliation for a rocket attack on territory a talkie pi's in the golan heights according to israel iranian militants fired the rockets from syria but none of them reach that target the iranian leadership has not commented on the events and usually to only said that syrian defense forces had been fairly successful accounts of casualties and damage cause very widely. likely to get. the israeli rockets took the lives of three martyrs two others were injured a radar s

in the probe russian defense ministry criticizes the latest findings from the earth russian investigators looking into the mh seventeen tragedy and twenty four ruling on social media pictures instead of witness a college. one of the year's biggest business events is underway in russia global industry leaders and political elites gather for this petersburg international economic. this is our to international coming live from moscow every hour of the day my names you know neal good to have your company for breaking news the days of uncertainty double come tilt his upcoming meeting with north korea's kim jong un scheduled for june in singapore let's get the details and go live to our washington correspondent seamer account hi there why has he finally or why has he said he's finally decided to pull out of this summit. well let's start from the beginning in the letter addressed to kim from the white house a trump said it would be inappropriate to hold the meeting at this time but it's important to note that this happened just a few hours after north korea destroyed its nuclear testing site but

new fighter jets we saw today also a ballistic missile or sonic missile called key which the defense ministry has referred to as invincible now you have to remember russia is the second biggest arms seller in the world it sells around twenty percent of the arms sold around the world in total so this is not only an opportunity for russia to show off its military might but also to show off its whereas as it were to potential buyers and really just briefly before we go we heard israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu at the parade today has talked with president putin plans in light of the u.s. pulling out of the iran deal does this meeting now take on a new significance are they going to address the topic. well the topic was on the agenda anyway they were going to discuss the iran nuclear deal anyway and also syria but of course in light of the u.s. pulling out of the deal this is taking on a much bigger significance and since russia is a close ally of iran's in syria they've been fighting on the same side in the war it's likely that israel will be will be looking to these talks and placing

thirty eight point five billion euros on its armed forces that may sound like a lot but the defense ministry is up in arms saying it needs far more to modernize germany's fighting forces as pressure grows on the country to step up its obligations to nato. a german euro fighter taking to the air something of a rare sight these days germany possesses one hundred twenty eight of the jet were plates but only four are reportedly mission ready that could leave the country unable to fulfill its commitments to nato germany needs to modernize its armed forces the bundeswehr but there's no consensus on the cost. conservative defense minister was a fund lion says she needs an additional twelve billion euros by twenty twenty one to get the military back in fighting shape but she's only receiving two point five billion extra she's taken the extraordinary step of filing an official letter of protest. and a terse statement from the line played down the conflict but stressed germany's military responsibilities almost are chopped off germany has to make its contribution here not just for security in germany

the russian ministry of defense giving its version of events denying this russian involvement in that incident and bringing their own version of evidence of course the j.i.t. see things differently they have now said they believe that a russian military unit namely the fifty third craft brigade from the city of course was involved in bringing down the plane they have said they may even have suspects or persons of interest ranging from a small group to dozens perhaps hundreds of people this is what that investigative team had to say earlier today. that we realize that the belling get investigation team already reached the same conclusions and published them. as the joint investigation team have our own independent investigation and the conclusions we draw from it must be based on legal and convincing evidence which will stand in the courtroom. evidence of course has been the crux of the issue for both sides here both sides prevent presenting their own versions of events from radar data to forensic evidence cetera et cetera now or a lot of the evidence used by the dutch safety board was

that was not followed by the ministry of defense. there was someone who said it was at least one hundred thirty million euros but we fear that the figure is much higher. there's been some pressure from the ministry of defense to ensure that there is no investigative commission so it's evident there was a form of lobbying. the word which came from microsoft. the entire french army uses microsoft programs what does this mean for national security and the sovereignty of france and frankly i think. that's very serious because a potential attack on microsoft in the network of the ministry of defense theoretically endanger our soldiers and a whole series of military actions the broad. microsoft systems are also a security risk overly complex and vulnerable and only the experts at microsoft know the source code it's something that the chaos computer club europe's largest association of hackers has long been criticizing the fact they had to. have saved. had microsoft office is far more vulnerable than the open source libra office the italian

secret treaty that the ministry of defense has maintained was microsoft for ten years not even parliament has been informed of its content and conclusion it's the contract between the french ministry of defense and microsoft and we have no doubt that either amount of money are in legal procedure. and it was all black if you can see these all black and what is important in this country is the amount of money. they spent on that it's all black in the amount of money and it was not even come here in front of the same age because an important senator asked directly to the minister of defense we should definitely mr because she just doesn't demand of her for a commission of inquiry. yet another blacked out contract once again the corporation prohibits the government from providing appropriate information but now finally the parliament is going to examine what microsoft actually gets in license fees from the state treasury according to some sources it's around two hundred euros per workstation and here extrapolated to the whole of europe this would be a double digit billion euro amount per year
