at iran's supreme leader ayatollah ali khamenei has told russia's president vladimir putin that they must step up cooperation to isolate the u.s. and help stabilize the middle east the call followed a threat by u.s. president donald trump to abandon the iran nuclear deal. the u.s. congress is beginning to examine the official response to hurricane maria six weeks after the storm devastated the territory of puerto rico but there are accusations that they only want to hear from those who give the trumpet ministration a positive review jab returns he reports from washington. six weeks to the day after hurricane maria devastated puerto rico the mayor of san juan was scheduled to be giving testimony at a congressional hearing on the u.s. government's response not holding this press conference in a corridor on capitol hill thank you very much but the hearing was scrapped by republicans once they heard that a democratic congressman had invited the outspoken man to testify why do you think the republicans cancelled today's hearings. i don't know the fact is that they did not the fact is that

and syria by using russia's unique status is how they have that lovely favorable relationship with iran and saudi arabia and a wide range of other regional stakeholders combined with their outreach to both the kurds and the syrian government and u.s. handful of syrian opposition factions russia is trying to demonstrate that it is able to preserve and has led to security in the entire middle east and using this excess in syria possibly as a present for future interventions in yemen and saudi arabia iran diplomatic standoff and with qatar so i think that this is a very significant step for russia russia is using as a benchmark and there's a lot of stake for them pavol you mentioned the reasons why russia would get involved also from a political point of view but what about putin trying to reinstate himself as an international hard hitter and to divert attention away from the insurgency in his own country well actually it was rather a pretty magic move which happened in the last several years beginning from a wait from the russian war and short war with georgia when they go for naval force

i think the new movement which is started for example in our region between iran and russia between iran and turkey maybe between russia and some other partners between iran and some other countries in the region and out of the region the have decided to use our national currency in our straight you know economy relation and corporations and i think. the important thing should start from somewhere this is who this start for for. removing the. imposed effectiveness of the one single currency against the war in the economy i think that the movement is started now mr were talking french foreign minister eve a lot of e-mail has recently accused iran of hegemonic temptations in the region now the iranian foreign ministry spokesperson obviously called france's approach biased and partisan in response but just last month iran's president rouhani said that no decision can be taken in iraq syria lebanon north africa or the gulf region without consent so maybe mr littlejohn has a point here it is not his humans it is based on two different approach to this development in the region. for example we

and china and the rock island syria canada russia iran israel turkey and so on. their response has been left one thing the president this sets is huge it's enormous but hey doesn't concern them yet russia has been so effectively vilified by the press by the u.s. government by the u.k. government that organisations who should be speaking out for free speech who should be condemning these attacks against r.t. are either too afraid to do so or they see they are actually lined with the attacks and so i find that incredibly disappointing i think people whether they like r.t. or they don't like r.t. should defend artie's right to exist to broadcast in the united states to say what it wants to say to interview or wants to interview i think the right to free speech the right to free inquiry is now greatly under attack in the united states in the land of the free you better watch what you say or i'll put you on a list. now it could turn into one of america's most popular websites is getting caught up in this whole campaign against r.t. the drudge report which links to hund

i think the new movement which is started for example in our region between iran and russia between iran and turkey maybe between russia and some other partners between iran and some other countries in the region and out of the region vehemently says started now mr were talking french foreign minister eve another deal has recently accused iran of hegemonic temptations in the region now the iranian foreign ministry spokesperson obviously called france's approach biased and partisan in response but just last month iran's president rouhani said that no decision can be taken in iraq syria lebanon north africa or the gulf region without iran's consent so maybe mr literally and has a point here it is not a hazy morning it is based on two different approach to this. for example we have faced with a crisis of. isis the have faced with the problem of iraq afghanistan syria and no other is yemen these are different crisis. the difference is different look to this. you know crisis when you look through the realities in the region you've reached to some point if you do not follow the realities. then
