Devastating effect in yemen. Government protesters a time to the Parliament Building in the georgian capital tbilisi. Its midnight here in moscow and youre watching all t. International live from our studio with me welcome to the program. The u. S. President has spoken out on iran shooting off an american drone over the strait of hormuz some saying to iran has made a major miscalculation Iranian State t. V. Has shown a video that allegedly tried to capture the moment the u. S. Drone was shot down. I made a big mistake. This drone was in International Waters clearly we have it all documented its documented scientifically not just words and it made it very bad mistake because i mean youll find out and you maybe youll find out youll find. Obviously. You know were not going to be talking too much about it youre going to find out they made a very big mistake weve heard trump indicating that not only did iran make a mistake but also hinting that this could have been some kind of human error we have him saying i would imagine it was a general or somebody that made a mistake in shooting that drone down now at this point weve got iranian officials saying that they intend to take this to the United Nations to show that indeed this drone did violate their territory and the southern part of their country it violated their airspace and it was not in International Waters the u. S. Wages economic terrorism on iran has conducted covert action against those and now encroaches on our territory we dont seek war we zealously defend our sky land and water has we take this new aggression to the u. N. And show you that the u. S. Is lying about International Waters now at this point weve got the u. N. Secretary general Antonio Gutierrez saying that hes calling for all parties to exercise maximum restraint now many observers have noticed that it seems like the white house is a policy toward iran has zigzagged and been rather inconsistent lets review some of what is. Been said from the Trump White House toward the Islamic Republic of iran if american citizens who are facilities are threatened or attacked that there will be a very strong response taking all the appropriate actions both from a security perspective and well as. Our ability to make sure that the president has a wide range of options and theyve made this up there should actually take place they should call and if they do were open to talk to we have no secrets and they could be very very strong financially they have Great Potential now tensions between washington and tehran have been rising over the last few months we saw the United States sending a 1000 more troops to the middle east region citing a supposed threat from iran is the reason for escalating their military presence weve also seen the United States blame iran for the attacks on to oil tankers that recently took place now we have iranian officials coming forward saying that they absolutely did not attack those oil tankers and that in fact it was iranian ships that rescued the sailors and was able to get them medical assistance and relief but at this point people are watching the situation to see what will happen next trump says there will be some kind of response did not indicate what it would be saying essentially wait and see and that iran made a mistake we got a ryan official saying that this drone did indeed violate their territory in their airspace and that they intend to prove this at the International Body of the United Nations so all eyes on this situation weve got eyes on washington seeing what might come next from them weve got our eyes on iran and their response weve got our eyes on the United Nations to see how this plays out in the International Arena many many questions about what could come next as this situation develops. By kind of a hour from the political scientists and former adviser to Negotiation Team thanks for coming on to the program now. What do you make of transfer marks. World its another serve serving rationalization for a very irrational or provocative course of action toward iran that is clearly backfiring you know violating irans tutorials sovereignty by dispatching one of its sophisticated spy planes was clearly a mistake because it under estimated irans a strike by capability and i has sent to hide that iran has just informed the public that it has salvage the wreckage of that unmanned spy airplanes in irans territorial waters and that flies in the face of the u. S. Navy that earlier today challenge iran to produce the wreckage if it insists that it was shut down on irans tauriel waters which was indeed the case because iran as large as the formal complaint to the u. N. Security council giving the exact coordinates to where this was shut down and has irrefutable evidence to prove that the u. S. Did indeed violate irans territorial sovereignty and engage in unlawful espionage and iran paired article 51 of the un charter has the right of selfdefense which it exercised prudently and if the Tramp Administration wants to continue under war path with iran this will be disastrous for the region and indeed the world yeah and do you think they will be going down that path are they preparing for a military response or not and and yes youre right im pretty sure that most people watching would find it disastrous if indeed turned into a full blown war. Yes very good with you and you know the u. S. Has a choice you can veer back and make a u. Turn and use unilateral exit from the Nuclear Agreement that has failed to build any kind of International Coalition against iran and all of this you know a spate of accusations against iran have been unconvincing to the International Community that has a very fresh memory w m d hawks of the iraq war and the shenanigans at the u. N. Security council with colin powell you know holding their white powder and so on so i think the wall has wised up and is a smarter now and is now going to adopt at face value various wild allegations leveled iran including the allegation that while iran was hosting the historic visit our Japanese Foreign minister said when an attack the japanese cargo ships anyone familiar with irans culture of hospitality alone would know that thats an impossibility and its another false flag operation and blaming iran and paving the way to an eventual war which hopefully will not happen and the International Community will stand up to do us and this warmongering led by those hawks that have a clear record of pushing for and this very wars of choice instead of necessity yeah i mean you know you have mentioned we 1st discussed the International Community would be horrified if strong does decide to strike back there could be a backlash possibly from its european allies who will oversee not very happy with washingtons actions and pulling out of the deal do you think that would be a consideration for washington. Well im not sure because the europeans have not shown you know a great deal of political world to stand up to uncles and theyre weak and very feeble response to yours is exit from the Nuclear Agreement and dane ability to implement their own financial making isnt to bypass the u. S. Sanctions for trade really iran reflects that very weak political will as a europe is much of a political factor of a afros the abby political scientists and former advisor to Irans NuclearNegotiation Team thank you have a for coming on to the program and sharing your thoughts my pleasure meanwhile europe has stepped up efforts to preserve the 2015 Iranian Nuclear deal the u. K. France and germany are looking to united in a diplomatic push to persuade iran not to pull out of the agreement policy clear as more. All this i think is an effort by these European Countries to try and salvage what they can in terms of the take hours or 15 kid deal that the United States withdrew from last year also stepping up efforts to try and beat escalate the recent tensions that weve witnessed in the gulf region the japanese Prime Minister was in the waning capital recently for talks as was the German Foreign minister and france has announced that it is saving high level delegation one as they are committed to on the one hand trying to preserve the deal but on the other hand also trying to reach as the european leaders have said some kind of peaceful solution to prevent the situation in the gulf region from completely deescalating we want to unify and foods so a process of deescalation starts theres still time and we hope all the actors will show more restraint theres still time but only little time before youll be the most important mediator between the 2 so i. Tried to do what we come to defuse tensions open channels of communication to make sure and escalation is avoidance but the fact is that time is running out and one cannot discount the possibility of war breaking out. There asked him president has finished his marathon q. And a with the general public after 4 hours by the mere put into questions on various subjects including relations between the u. S. And iran. Could use some of those who would like to say straight away that a military conflict between the u. S. And iran would be a disaster at least for the region it would be an outburst of violence with terrible consequences its very hard to predict what would happen in the case of military force being used and the president didnt stop there that he then met with foreign and russian journalist all these eagle if you donna was that the address. Like answering questions for hours here in this hall behind me was not enough for him but one of the 1st things he was asked as he will show dove for a Media Conference was the. 17 and the question was whether or not russia is ready to accept responsibility to bear the brunt of the blame for the tragedy that happened in 2014 well the question on this response came a day after the joint Investigation Team of the International Dutch led investigation presented their new report naming 4 suspects for the 1st time giving names and photographs of people they believe responsible for giving the order to down the malaysian boeing heres what Vladimir Putin had to say about that everything weve seen presented as evidence that russia is responsible for everything doesnt suit us we think its insufficient evidence it doesnt say anything weve presented our version of the events but unfortunately no one wants to hear it until there is proper dialogue here we wont find any answers to the questions about the plane crash and the deaths of the people on board which remain open really people from all sides of the societal spectrum of view of the broad of the of russia have had a chance to ask their questions weve heard questions from ordinary people from journalists from celebrities from bloggers from influences and while the focus was mostly on the internal affairs of russia which is quite expected Something Like russias relation with the United States people couldnt help but mention it heres how glad im a putin commented on the current state of relations between moscow and washington when these but if the american side shows interest we are always ready for dialogue we see what is happening in us domestic politics the president will always look back on the race hes in right now some in the american establishment are speculating about our countrys relationship trying to find problems and telling lies. Well when it comes to other instances other subjects it wasnt all heavy hearted there were more life notes still with there were some jokes a bit of humor for instance there was a question as to whether or not Vladimir Putin was an alien to which he said no and. That was one of the one of the final questions in that q. And a now this was one of the major one of the 3 major president ial level events here on par with putins address to the federal assembly and the annual also q. And a with journalists that happens late in the air so i mean were still early in this race and there were still there is still plenty of time and there will be plenty of opportunity to ask more questions to Vladimir Putin what i get from the prison putin is a desire for the International System to function as its supposed to a desire for dialogue primarily with his American Partners as he calls them a dialogue for things to function according to rules of the world busy order busy as theyve been established for a considerable period i also detect a slight disappointment actually a lot of that is not happening precisely because of the attitude of his u. S. Partners in washington who seem to prefer to seem to view agreements between contracting parties as matters of inconvenience to be abandoned as soon as another plan comes along and foster instability in the global order as a result so i i detect a slight pessimism about the chances of this thing changing anytime soon certainly on the basis of the current crises in the world which mostly seem to be being created by the unwillingness of these American Partners to engage in dialogue. Its quite realistic to suppose that instability is the new stability. Government protesters are attempting to storm the georgian Parliament Building in the countrys capital tbilisi. Last night at 5000. 00 demonstrators have been running to the participation of a russian delegation to parliamentary session promoting orthodox christianity during the event one of the visiting deputies sat in the chair of the speaker of the Children Parliament further angering protesters children authorities have called on the demonstrators to refrain from illegal actions and deployed police to the officers after portably in firing tear gas. Well for more details we have our correspondent romana customer of in the studio give us more updates as to whats been going on youve been following this for the last few well its seared gas and rubber bullets have been used against the protesters on the streets so its a bit easier right outside the parliament of the country. The police riot police when the once they use that they push the crowd back and im going to warn you the video that were about to show you some of the pictures may be disturbing so it is going to warn you head of time just to let you know we have sources on the ground who let us know that once the situation calms down just a little bit the police started to give people water started tending to people trying to help them out and we have the ministry of health of georgia there saying that more than 50 people have been taken to hospitals on thursday night most of those people are from our Law Enforcement so well get more figures but. We do have people who are injured everyones alive as far as we know but to get back to what had actually happened say youve told us about it in your lead in but there was more provocation even before the russian delegates came to this assembly all 4 of those countries. A position. This Opposition Forces they call and they keep the suit forward in a local conflict so without pausing at that sign what it did happened and theyre saying that he killed georgians all of this the the russian delegates and he said that this is absolutely fake news he had never taken part in any conflict like that and actually we have already an apology from one of the deputies all for the georgian Political Party one of the organizers of the events who admitted that this particular event should have been taken should have taken place in a different setting but the opposition a radical position as we had seen they stormed the building they attacked the russian delegation with the water they tried to take away their documents and basically shouting obscenities at them in russian and asking them to leave the country soon as possible so the obviously the event was said disrupted and the president so the chairman of the event he was a from greece he could not continue so that by the way they were once once easily geishas from Different Countries present at the time well the russians are on the way back meanwhile we see that the pictures in georgia of the protests are about soldier about those people who were injured injured already but at the moment it seems like there are only hundreds near the parliament and the police pushed people back where the tear doesnt run a rubber bullets and then they tended to those people who were hurt our we have a people working on the ground and theyre saying people are covering their faces with basque or with anything they can protect themselves against. Syria gas. And once again it all began once the russians if you see not willingly but he sat in the place of the speaker of the parliament and. Nobody paid any attention to that except for activists from the opposition and this is where it all began at the moment. Whats driving them there asking for the Prime Minister to step down theyre asking for the interior Ministry Minister to step down and. The inservice are said that least to keep the peace hes willing to do that but it looks like the situation is resolving by itself at the moment is getting pretty late. On thursday nights and so hopefully this situation would have come down by the time this morning. Because it has been pretty dramatic over the last few hours thank you. We spoke to a former acting president of georgia but you not see she believes the government in tbilisi has been a frantic and to russian sentiment. Rushing toward good relations are really ready difficult and sensitive for you and your society and most of the population now receive the same message the russian m. P. In the chair of the idea and speaker is this something which is just creating new problems what stability of the country or something which is they just touching independence and so for a good deal of the country and it was easy to predict from the side of the government but its excellently unbelievable how im competent is the government and its absolutely sure full no clear for me the government did you know before we improve my aunt or crushing georgian relations during the last few years guess so there was no any kind of positive in this the direction. 2 of politics. So i was calling them. The problem stan and said why dont right now 2 years ago these are hard to say so you see it pretty much that people lose their Political Goals and 2 are just strengths in the russian really exist. Georgian pollution. Court in britain ruled on thursday that the u. K. Government broke the law by authorizing weapon sales to saudi arabia the judgement comes in response to a legal challenge by peace campaigners who claim that the arms supply to riyadh to have been used against civilians in yemen the British Government has suspended new arms export licenses but says it intends to appeal the decision with more on the story shall the d. N. C. Well a significant victory for cats here at the coup to the field after its ruled the u. K. All the sales to saudi arabia could be used in the war in yemen and new fallout follows the quashing of a previous decision by the High Court Back in 2017 that those sales would move forward the court of appeal specifically the one element where it said that if you take up with romney in the war in a significant way and the judgment went on to say that thats because the u. K. Government made it move concluded assessment of whether the saudi that coalition had committed violations of International Humanitarian rule in yemen in the past and had made no attempts to do so this was the reaction following that judgment this goes to the very top of the conservative party we now need a judicial review in the whole licensing system parliament has been shown to be totally broken we had 4 years to sort this out and the committee failed to meet the 2 years we now need a Public Inquiry on this matter the government should not waste time in appealing this judgment the government should fix our system put all the sales to saudi arabia by the u. K. Government significant amounting to around 4700000000 pounds since 2015 in the u. K. Is the 2nd biggest exporter of all to riyadh south to the United States it exports for ne poems and missiles well weve been speaking to cat 2 brought this case against the government and also to its solicitor whos told us that they will review now not just the u. K. Government steals but also on the seals to saudi arabia from other countries this has been a brutal call damnation of u. K. Foreign policy business been a very strong judgment against it we were. And to see action from the government the court has done its job its time for the government to do its job the decisions that took in relation to existing licenses and make the decisions they took to continue to grant licenses those decisions are unlawful and they have to go back and reconsider well in regards to the war in yemen its estimated that the death toll direct deaths attributed to the war is now closing in on the 100000 people meanwhile half of the countrys 22000000 strong population is said to be in Food Insecurity lets have a look now at the conflict of the last few years and the impact its having on the client. Well in the coalmines following that who decision we heard from the secretary of state for International Trade liam fox who has said that the government will now review its licenses to sell all of this to saudi arabia but the u. K. Secretary of trade did also decide to spend government previous positions to hold those arms contracts not about whether the government has made the right or wrong decisions about granting export licenses but concerns the rationality of the process used to reach decisions as i said earlier we disagree with the judgment and the secret mission to appeal this judgement wont immediately stop the holds the export of sales to saudi arabia but it is a landmark case and for fact its a big. Day big results and they say that they will continue the fight to stop the arms sales to saudi arabia.
