with respect, this isn't about lebanon. it is about hezbollah. u nless lebanon.is about hezbollah. unless you are saying that hezbollah is the defector armed force of the lebanese state? hezbollah is part of the lebanese population, hezbollah is part of the government, hezbollah is part of the government, hezbollah is part of the government, hezbollah is part of the parliament and hezbollah is defending lebanon when lebanon is being addressed along with the lebanese army. so you are entirely happy, are you? i want to get this straight for the people around the world, you are entirely happy that we know iran is funding, supplying and training hezbollah with a new position guided missiles. —— precision. you are entirely happy for this military buildup to be taking place on your territory, not controlled by you, the lebanese state, but controlled by hezbollah and therefore, ultimately, controlled from iran to stop you are happy with all of that? no, i will be happy when peace prevails in my country and the region. and this exceptional situation. and i will be happy

i am the guy of lebanon. i am the foreign minister of lebanon, not of anybody.why we have a policy that preserves our interests, not the interests of anybody else. that's why. .. in washington... that's why we take from washington what is in our interests and from any other foreign country. and we have the courage to disagree with what washington says. let me quote you the words of the relatively new assistant secretary of state in washington for near eastern affairs, david schenker. he very pointedly said about his fears of hezbollah and its supporters lebanon. he said, "in the future, we will designate, because we have to, individuals in lebanon", this is for sanctions, "who are aiding and assisting hezbollah, regardless of their sect or religion." that was clearly a message pointed towards christian politicians such as yourself who are in alliance with hezbollah. you could face us sanctions. i am the foreign minister of lebanon and these sanctions would not be targeting my person, if they ever happen, and i doubt they will ever happen. these are circulated fo

retaliation is to reinforce the ability in the border not to give israel a free hand to attack lebanon any time the promise came from hezbollah and hezbollah deliver on that promise i think we can we can leave it there or the israeli now they can act elated but really today it is in the hand of the israeli where they want to take it i think if they want to take it very far i think hezbollah is ready to take it very far. he has been making all the preparation for any retaliation. everybody knows that. probably people who follow that. back would happen any minute and it did happen today. and i think now the israeli have been chanting out there. probably. a lot backgame from but 3 i'm afraid this is can go beyond those. adjacent. any mistake in the confrontation right now this is will take us to 2006 a place that we shouldn't be there very briefly are we saying that israel was always going to react in this way and are we saying that when house run . goes on his t.v. channel because that's in effect what it is he knew israel knew it was going to react in this way. well we don't know is the

overall of the political situation in lebanon, lebanon is a democracy.e respect that fact very much. that is the whole point here, to ensure the lebanese people decide who runs the country. we have excellent working relationships with the prime minister and the president as well as the financial sector. thatll be very incumbent all key players in lebanon understand that if you provide material support to hezbollah, regardless of your political ideology, your ethnic background, you are at risk. the treasury department will target you. >> [inaudible] i wouldc. billingslea: not forecast such a saying, even if i could. ms. ryan: the gentleman in the blue blazer who is sitting down? yeah, in the second to last row. do you want to stand up? >> thank you. i am from syria. lebanontion, if we make expect -- youyou expect the lebanese government to push back against hezbollah and you are supporting that through sanctioning. [inaudible] you can not just ask them to pay. [indiscernible] and so many people who were against iran. now the people, in their mind, they re

over the past week i must say the prime minister of lebanon. how do you have been holding a lot of diplomatic. diplomatic activities with. the fact that there's. the questions in the region because it does not want lebanon to be called to the middle of this confrontation the bigger confrontation in the region like we mentioned earlier between iran and the united states. and israel and iran ok so the moment we leave our conversation to stay close we will come back to you as and when there are any developments of you just joining us here on al-jazeera we're rolling through to bring you continuing coverage of this developing story on the border between israel and lebanon on the israeli military saying lebanon's 5 an antitank missiles into a border village. welcome if you're just joining us we'll begin this half hour of al-jazeera world news with a developing breaking story israel's military says lebanon has fired several antitank missiles towards northern israel it happened on the israeli border village of the same there are no immediate reports o

in terms of the overall political situation in lebanon, lebanon is the democracy and we respect that very much. that's the whole.here. is to ensure that the lebanese people decide to run the country. we have excellent working relationships we put the prime minister and the president as well as who i've mentioned the financial sector. but it is going to be buried, that all key players in lebanon understand that if you provide material support that has longest garments of your political party and regardless of the ideal ability or ethnic background or religious. you know at risk. and the treasury department may well target you. i would not forecast such a thing even if i could. >> the gentleman we put a blue blazer. second to last row. >> thank you. i'm from syria. my question is olympian, not a special case. the need of the government to push back against them. you know supporting the by sanctioning. my question to you is how are you supporting them to do this. were you providing. you cannot just ask them to remember how. [inaudible conversation] against iran. the people remembered th

is or the start of this is collation last week today with a number of operations in iraq syria and lebanon and it broke past understanding of the last dozen years by that act that deccan has what strongholds so that what we know and we're not surprised that hizbullah responded not while it's true that none or neither party is interested in all out war or a repeat of 2006 but there are a number of calculations and one unintended which is just like wars have unintended consequences escalation also have an intended consequences notably war so those who started the escalation and continue the escalation cannot then cry wolf about there's a war because once you really start inflaming the fire of conflict and of retaliation and country attenuation you need to war there's no doubt about that my sense is that since this was started by prime minister netanyahu is that israel has 3 messages to send or prime minister netanyahu has 3 messages to sent one to iran and hezbollah that israel is watching that israel is not accepting that iran continues to project and to modernize its projection of forces i

calm prevails along lebanon's border with israel the situation has been contained at least for the time being hezbollah promised to retaliate and it did israel responded by shelling a lebanese border village hezbollah didn't respond there was no exchange of fire which was really a sign that it did not want this situation to spiral out of control even the targets that the israeli army chose it was an indication that it too did not want the conflict to to worsen or to escalate the lebanese prime minister was on the phone with american and french officials to try to deescalate tensions it was a nobody's interest for this flare up to lead to all out conflict in 2006 it was a devastating war between israel and hezbollah now hezbollah did the promise to retaliate against the killing of 2 of its fighters in syria in neighboring syria and israeli air strikes but it also said and it also promised to prevent israeli drones from violating lebanese airspace it said that it's going to start defending lebanon to airspace so the question is what happens next will it take another action that could lead

well lebanon's prime minister has appealed to the u.s. and france to intervene to prevent the situation from escalating into a full fledged war zone to hold a report from southern lebanon. calm prevails along lebanon's border with israel the situation has been contained at least for the time being hezbollah promised to retaliate and it did israel responded by shelling a lebanese border village hezbollah didn't respond there was no exchange of fire which was really a sign that it did not want the situation to spiral out of control even the targets that the israeli army chose it was an indication that it too did not want the conflict to to worsen or to escalate the lebanese prime minister was on the phone with american and french officials to try to deescalate tensions it was a nobody's interest for this flare up to lead to all out conflict in 2006 it was a devastating war between israel and hezbollah now hezbollah did the promise to retaliate against the killing of 2 of its fighters in syria in neighboring syria and israeli air strikes but

calm prevails along lebanon's border with israel the situation has been contained at least for the timebeing hezbollah promised to retaliate and it's did israel responded by shelling a lebanese border village hezbollah didn't respond there was no exchange of fire which was really a sign that it did not want this situation to spiral out of control even the targets that the israeli army chose it was an indication that it's too it's not one to the conflict to to worsen or to escalate the lebanese prime minister was on the phone with american and french officials to try to deescalate tensions it was a nobody's interest for this flare up to lead to all out conflict in 2006 it was a devastating war between israel and hezbollah now hezbollah did the promise to retaliate against the killing of 2 of its fighters in syria in neighboring syria and israeli air strikes but it also said and it also promised to prevent israeli drones from violating lebanese airspace it says that it's going to start defending lebanon's airspace so the question is what happens next will it take another action that could

us when we're hearing that tit for tat you know what exists in lebanon what do people listen to. what is of under not denied by his blog may have tens of thousands of look it's aimed at israel hidden in billet and. in need of uglies they also want to improve their accuracy and recently declared that they've already done it in a number book along with their incident. if they increase it. considerably it's a very real danger off to physical strategic site since it's all offline or easy it's airfields up within range of. it's a vital interest is willing to make sure they don't have accurate walking is a danger going to have thousands of booklets that are not. well the sable there joining us professor of international hebrew university will be thank you thank you let's go back to our top story the sidell a coalition air strike on a detention center in yemen let's get more now from hamad who is on his way to that's where that strike took place at mohammed what more do we know about those who died there were indications that this was a prison and suggestions that many of the people ins

is in a what's been the reaction in lebanon how significant was what happened today. well there is no doubt people are relieved that this was short lived so near a 2 hours and that the situation was contained because many were worried about the possibility of all out war back in 2006 israel has fought a devastating war many really blame hezbollah for starting the war by a cross-court a raid that killed and kidnapped israeli soldiers so people were really bracing for the worst this country is facing a dire economic crisis is so people are quite relieved but at the same time many didn't really expect has a lot to act irresponsibly they expected a proportionate response to what has happened to avoid an all out war and that seems to have half it has said that it will retaliate because israeli airstrikes in neighboring syria killed 2 of its operatives and it did that but the question is this incident may now be over but israel scuse me hezbollah saying that it intends to defend lebanon skies and prevent israel from using or flying its drones in and lebanese airspace it has

and tensions escalate between israel and lebanon after an exchange of missile strikes across the border. you're watching the weak link here on r.t. international i'm mars on a low quick thank you for joining us. now sunday marks the 15th anniversary of the deadliest terrorist attack in modern russian history it will happen to the school in an office setting in town of beslan in russia's north caucuses region where more than a 1000 people were taken hostage 334 were eventually killed and many of them were children. the victims all being commemorated in beslan today people are laying flowers near the school which has become a monument to those events words of condolence have been coming in from around the world from the 1st days of september each year has become a time for grief and mourning here warning that you might find some of the following images to step in. meanwhile in school candles have been that to commemorate the victims our correspondent daniel hawkins reports from the scene. for nearly 3 days most hostages were kept in this building the sports hall the terrorists lined the r

it is that regime which in 2005 slayed the prime minister of lebanon in the heart of beirut. this approach, unfortunately, continues, as we witnessed in recent years when this regime tried to conduct terrorism in france and then to mark, and -- france and denmark, and not a day goes by without witnessing its terror in yemen, lebanon and other countries in this region. mr. president, ladies and gentlemen, the latest attacks and aggression have exposed the iranian regime to the entire world. we are dealing with a rogue and terrorist regime that continues to threaten international peace and security. it is also jeopardizing energy supplies in the world economy, hence the recent attacks are test on the international community's well. this organization faces a moral responsibility to take unified position. utmost pressure should be applied using every tool available to end the terrorist and aggressive behavior of the iranian regime. it is a position that should not make do with half measures, or partial or interim agreements. it should rather seek to change the character and behav

its inception, carried out terrorist attacks inside the kingdom of saudi arabia, bahrain, kuwait, lebanon, as well as european countries and beyond. it is the same regime which assassinated a number of saudi diplomats in thailand in 1980 and 1990 and is responsible for the assassination in 2011 of a saudi diplomat in karachi. may they all rest in peace. also in that same year, the regime tried to assassinate the kingdom's ambassador to the united states. 2005 that regime which in slayed the prime minister of lebanon in the heart of beirut. this approach, unfortunately, continues, as we witnessed in recent years when this regime tried to conduct terrorism in france and then to mark, and -- france and denmark, and not a day goes by without witnessing its terror in yemen, lebanon and other countries in this region. mr. president, ladies and gentlemen, the latest attacks and aggression have exposed the iranian regime to the entire world. we are dealing with a rogue and terrorist regime that continues to threaten international peace and security. jeopardizing energy supplies in the world econo

under-reports now from southern lebanon. calm prevails along lebanon's border with israel the situation has been contained at least for the time being hezbollah promised to retaliate and it did israel responded by shelling a lebanese border village hezbollah didn't respond there was no exchange of fire which was really a sign that it did not want the situation to spiral out of control even the targets that the israeli army chose it was an indication that it too did not want the conflict to to worsen or to escalate the lebanese prime minister was on the phone with american and french officials to try to deescalate tensions it was a nobody's interest for this flare up to lead to all out conflict in 2006 it was a devastating war between israel and hezbollah now hezbollah did the promise to retaliate against the killing of 2 of its fighters in syria in neighboring syria and israeli air strikes but it also said and it also promised to prevent israeli drones from violating lebanese airspace it says that it's going to start defendi

of the country and of west beirut this upset lebanon's fragile political balance. arafat had the support of the lebanese national movement led by kemal jumblatt. but arafat wanted relationships across the political spectrum and made a show of reaching out to figures like pierre gemayel of the christian party whose power base was in east beirut. shura had a close and let us know by genesee and as a shot of. where i am and had a. lot of sailors going but. only when i went. to look at wal-mart. and she should get a lana. and a gander cod. head of 1. $500.00 says so we hike. to the mid east do we hike and that over never does off morphine us and that will come in and. i had a new house and. the whole mess on a rock around. the only the urine is up. in the urine. and. then you should be as. well. you know how to live. but whatever arafat had envisaged civil war broke out. the p.l.o. fought the good tired christian militia in the streets of beirut dividing the city into east and west. militias and splinter groups proliferated hundreds of civilians were killed the lebanes

since this vessel was released by the authorities in it has been known to go to near greece turkey lebanon but that has not been located since monday evening here in officials have not disclosed where the ship is heading but they have reiterated that syria is not its destination the ship was seized by the authorities on july the 4th and it was released on august 15th the iranians say that the british government sees this vessel at the request of u.s. officials they say that this is an example of how the u.s. government is trying to pressure officials in iran to get them back to the negotiating table to renegotiate the 2015 nuclear agreement the united states withdrew from that the last year and we imposed a series of sanctions on iran's oil and banking sector the iranian president hassan rouhani you are way to the position here that iran will not have any kind of dialogue with american officials until these sanctions have been lifted and this vessel is the sanctions that have now been imposed on this vessel as of august 30th by the united states treasury department are being seen here as a

monitors of unifil in southern lebanon has been this morning we saw a u.n.helicopter flying over the border area just behind us when we arrived at this position a few hours ago and yes the it does seem that both sides have managed to act within the scope that does not lead to a big outbreak of violence this time around however if that tactical exchange has now been completed there is this strategic problem that remains from both sides hezbollah has made it very clear that it has a red line of israel breaching what it understands to be the rules of engagement from 2006 ins in place since that last major war between israel and lebanon so if there are further attacks and strikes which it considers to be breaching those then presumably it will have to make a similar response as for israel it says that iran and hezbollah are a cooperating especially in the realm of precision guided missiles in a way which is a growing threat to israeli security and it has been making the case that it needs to keep continue to act in this most forceful way so that is a recipe for

thing that happened this last week is the escalation against hezbollah they wrecked the in syria lebanon and that has led to the counter attack today and as it seems as we hear from hezbollah sources and from the prime minister of israel himself neither party at this point in time is interested in further escalation marwan bashar there joining us live from london on this always thank you. still ahead here on out is even china may have to hit back at the u.s. that billions of dollars in tab rests in a sharp escalation of their trade war. a logon and welcome back well here cross the philippines we have seen a lot of rain over the last couple days of course we're talking tropical storm paul made its way across just last week now going to be seeing 2 other storms and with that rain we are dealing with flooding here across parts of the design the flooding is going to continue in the water is going to be much higher the ground as a researcher and here across luzon and as you can see we have the circulation now entering the south china sea now this is going to be the next tropical storm system

in order to put lebanon back on the right track. sustaining growth rates and this has been, i mean, estimated by the imf which will translate to 40,000 jobs a year and raising product population ratio and 30% to 75% and capital income level five years down the road. to a certain extent it's granted to lebanon as important financial support. but what about the remaining $5 billion? because the administration cannot spend more than $1.5 billion a year in terms of investment standing. >> we're going to have to leave it there. >> but one quick question before i let you go the prime minister, i'll be asking him all about this tonight. is this something he has the political will behind him to really move forward on >> he does in order to provide confidence to the private sector, it's two political understandings to define an understanding in order to provide the private sector confidence, in accepting lebanon and what is needed i mean for the private sector. lebanon won't be driven into whatever legitimate or senseless war which will make

one is in terms of its intelligence coverage over remember on -- lebanon, syria ad iraq.he second is its ability in air power. israel is able to kind of lop off the low hanging fruits, so to speak, of the iranian project whenever they get too close to looking really dangerous. for example, it appears that israel has prevented an iranian attempt to equip their missiles in lebanon with precision-guided devices. it'll turn them into much more dangerous missiles that would have an accuracy radius of around 10 meters. israel, it a appears, has prevented that. but when it comes to the broader iranian project of, in a certain sense, trying to hollow out those systems and societies in iraq, syria and lebanon and replace them with iran-controlled power structures, yeah, it's very hard to see how that could be prevented by air warfare. i think, frankly, it cannot be. which means what we're looking at is the likelihood of continued iranian attempts to consolidate, probably successful in all three countries, and then as you said, periodic israeli actions to stop the danger from growi

the tracker on monday shipped tracking websites have previously shown the vessel off the coast of lebanon and heading northward u.s. secretary of state might pompei or has said the u.s. has intelligence that the ship is heading to the syrian port of tartus also jabari is live for us now in iran's capital tehran for door so what do we know about this what more do we know about this tanker and where it's allegedly heading. well as i'm according to iranian officials they have not disclosed where exactly this ship is heading since it was released by the authorities in gibraltar on august 15th this ship has made its way towards various different countries 1st greece then turkey and finally the last known location in lebanon now since then we don't know where it is currently but the raid officials have said that they have not disclose where it's going but the spike that the syrian destination of the rate that they've been accused of where this was headed they say that the e.u. sanctions against the syrian government are not recognized by the iranian officials because they haven't been endorsed

lebanon says that israel is routinely going through its airspace would syria using its airspace space to launch attacks into syria unmanned vehicle aerial vehicles inside it says space which hezbollah now says it reserves the right to shoot down on the israeli side israel argues that there is an expanding iranian operation inside lebanon that hezbollah and iran are working together to create or modify existing missiles into position guided weaponry which benjamin netanyahu has made it clear is a red line as far as israel is concerned hezbollah through its leader hassan nasrallah has denied any such activity so this particular conflagration does now seemed seem to have died down but there is always the possibility even the likelihood of more down the line thousands of students in hong kong are skipping the 1st day of school to keep the pressure up against the government protest organizers have called for a 2 day general strike follows airport protests which led to multiple flight cancellations perkin durian has become the most powerful storm to hit the bahamas with winds gusting up to

one of those spokes was in beirut, lebanon.king in poland with monzer al-kassar. samir needed to penetrate his inner circle by establishing a relationship with tarek al ghazi and eventually set up a meeting with monzer al-kassar. >> at this point i'd been working with samir for a lot of years. i said do you understand if you decide to do this your life will be changed forever? you'll never be the same. he said i'll do it. no. i made him sleep on it. go, come back tomorrow. kassar wouldn't take it lightly, and we're not in the business of getting anybody hurt. >> so in beirut, lebanon our confidential source samir was able to meet tarek al ghazi, developing develop a relationship over the course of approximately one year. he was able to gain al ghazi's trust and eventually samir asked the million-dollar question which is can you get a weapons deal with monzer al kassar for me? criminals are always cautious was the d.e.a. has built a large human intelligence network. so it was extremely hard to set a meeting with monzer al-kassar

as said, you're in southern lebanon.hat's the view from there on what's playing out and is this over, is it lu >> reporter: it's quiet this morning, rosemary. in fact, it does appear that life is getting back to normal. it is a national holiday in lebanon, so the streets are fairly empty. on our way here, we did see what appeared to be an israeli observation balloon hovering over the border area. but in general it does appear to be quiet. the fields behind me, which yesterday were on fire, caused by israeli shelling in this area, the lebanese army saying that at least 40 rounds slammed into the farming -- the agricultural fields behind me where there don't appear to be any military targets. now those fires are out. in fact, last night we watched as fire trucks were putting the fires out. so that indicates at least for now there seems to be enough confidence to send fire trucks into the field without the possibility of them being caught in a gun battle. so it appears that things have calmed down. now, it was expected that

the remaining american hostages in lebanon, if iran shows goodwill, we will reciprocate. one problem was it took three years for the remaining hostages in lebanon to be released, it was not until december 1991 they were released, by which time things had changed quite a bit. and secondly, u.s. priorities shifted rapidly after the desert storm war, the madrid peace process began, the first bush administration was invested in that, pushed it hard, iran was very much an opponent and that soured prospects for better relations. so, i would score the first bush administration as a period of containment, even though there was talk about engaging, pursuing engagement, but that never got off the ground. the early clinton period largely continued this. the clinton administration was pursuing many of the same goals as the bush administration the -- in the middle east, especially the israeli-palestinian peace process, which morphed into the oslo process under clinton. also in the early clinton years, iran was carrying out a lot of terrorist attacks, especially in europe, but also els

and hostilities are flaring on these from israel lebanon border the lebanese militant group hezbollah fired a volley of anti-tank missiles at an israeli army base on sunday israel responded by shelling southern lebanon. this is t w news from berlin you can follow us on twitter. how this time on taste it. w. correspondent susan hum and host a leading bookstore in the various flavors of exotic creasing odd food fusion and so on i am a challenge for you tasty type a. 60 minutes on t w. natural reaches. precious resources. and a rewarding investment in. farm land has been called ethiopia's green gold. the country has an abundance of life and leases it to international giants the government is after high export revenues and the corporations high profit margins. and not everyone benefits from the booming business. would give you when i saw the algos are clearing the land i was devastated giving up without could they bulldoze the land without my permission removed what i knew it belonged to i mean a woman. expropriation environmental destruction starvation. crisis from government and corpora
