Good morning welcome just going to 8 oclock here in moscow youre watching international now the u. S. Is piling more pressure on iran with a new round of major sanctions to hit her on later on monday the escalation comes in response to irans downing of a u. S. Military surveillance drone which the Islamic Republic says violated it says space but washington has expressed doubts over whos really to blame for the attack. We expect the president to announce an additional round of sanctions in response to irans downing of an american unmanned vehicle the president also had doubts as to whether or not the downing of our Unmanned Aircraft was actually authorized at the highest levels so i cant speak about intelligence that the United States has with regard to that but you heard the president reflect open little might have been a rogue littoral were not convinced that it was authorized at the highest levels washingtons messages regarding iran have been getting rather mixed lately is don of reports just do it to run a marathon or to start a war as good a motto as any now according to iran the socalled b. Team of instigators ran out of breath whispering in Donald Trumps ear obliterate iran into a beating its just do it the b. Team being advisor john bolton the emirates israel and saudi arabia a rare moment of unity between the latter bolton tried so hard apparently trump said this i have to have some people i have dubs and i have hawks you have some hawks john bolton is absolutely a hawk is up to him hed take on the whole world at one time ok it was almost Mission Accomplished until the u. S. President decided otherwise at the last moment and saw all the hawks turn against him there and the way that he announced it it shows weakness and its not in our interest but what happens when our adversaries understand that hes never going to follow through with President Trump was being urged by outside advisers not to carry out the strikes we dont know who they are or why he would share with them people not in the chain of command or in his defense circle incredibly classified information about a military strike on iran critics went as far as to accuse donald trump of changing. His mind under the influence of Tucker Carlson a celebrity faux sankoh now something fastings happy the very people in some cases literally the same people who lured us into the iraq quagmire 16 years ago are demanding a new war this one with iran the president to his great credit appears to be skeptical of this very skeptical how truly the media has never come closer to serving as the 4th branch of power even john bolton the mother of all hoax had to take trumps side saying that the president didnt just chicken out neither iran nor any other hostile actor should mistake us prudence and discretion for weakness our military is rebuilt new and ready to go if if he you know started out with the wrong decision and head the advisors saying to attack iran you know people would criticize and then if you cancel that then theyll criticize them for you know not. Showing resolve its kind of assumed by a lot of people that the democrats are not the war party but its not a party of peace and a lot of democrats want to show their toughness by saying you know weve got to stand up against iran and it could be just that as trump himself has been saying that hes neither a sinner or saint everybody was saying im a warmonger. And now they say. I think im neither you want to know that im a man with common sense and thats what we need in this countrys government says not starting a conflict with world war 3 potential is good sense indeed he had when it comes to other statements on iran by trump and his servants alike well see for yourself we are prepared to talk to iran without preconditions right but iran needs to understand that we will never allow them to obtain a nuclear. Weapon so is it no preconditions or one precondition its like telling a kid they wont get candy until they eat their greens but then immediately giving them all the candy and its not the only thing take this for instance what do you think message theyre trying to send you with this i think they want to negotiate and now how about this donald trump whose steak and the time and pleasure tearing into the Iran Nuclear Deal but now wants an agreement over his own i dont care which what kind of a deal it can be separate or it could be totally one on one talks where it was or is it one of one talks when the ayatollah where youre going to resume you can have Nuclear Weapons and if you want to talk about it good otherwise you can live in a shattered economy for a long time to such a consistent inconsistency doesnt help understand what exactly washington wants from its Foreign Policy people need to have a lot more certainty that theyre dealing with somebody who has some integrity. Sense of principle. When they say one thing stick to it its not that kind of a person you cant really bargain you make you know major deals that affect the future of your country with somebody who turns on a dime says Something Else. You know moments after he said Something Different so i think hes going to have a very hard time convincing iran. Hes serious if he offers some kind of a deal to. Now the parents of critically ill palestinian infants who have been taken from gaza to a better equipped hospital in israel are being denied access to their children because the exit. To for them are seen as a family that lost 2 children or forced to be a part. Ringback boy and going to i was 7 months pregnant and they diagnosed it as early labor but since i had an in vitro fertilization they didnt have the necessary facilities. And. My application was very urgent and i should have gotten approval very quickly from the Coordination Office because the lives of the mother or children could have been endangered but it took the Coordination Office 5 days. To get close to him and they said my surgery went fine and the stitches would be removed in gaza i told them id least want to state a breast feed the babies and they said no i kept crying it wasnt easy for me to leave them i didnt know they would leave or die and i went home devastated. One day i felt so bad i was exhausted and the same night i heard that one girl had died her name was malaki she died one week after i went home. Fatah said im going with after a while they told me the other child was not doing well they didnt say he was dead then they said he had to sit in the blood then they told me that hes heart stopped. Someone called me from the cards Nation Office and told me you have 10 minutes to get ready and go pick up your daughter so my husband told me some cordon to go right now and pick her up the ticket shop so much during those 5 months ago. Had to endure a lot of suffering and depression but thank god all of that went away when i saw my daughter. Well israel justifies its land there and sea blockade of gaza by arguing that it prevents local militant groups from launching attacks the un though has slammed it but we sent a request for comment to the israeli body responsible for coordination between palestines ministration and television although so far we havent received a reply now physicians for human rights israel and israeli medical n. G. O. S says most children travel with that their mothers or fathers according to them more than 7000. 00 permits were issued for minors from gaza last year and fewer than 2000 for parents god or Majed Larry Hughes from the ngo you told us more about the situation there is no specific period. In inquiries for permits it can be one moment in it can be half a year we had cases where people waited for more than one year for a permit or to harry any kind of decision regarding their inquiry the situation between the kids and their parents in for their sake logical and socially care situation and we know there it also influenced their recovery and the process of the treatment itself. Meanwhile the trumpet ministrations middle east peace plan officially unveiled at a workshop in bahrain has been slammed for allegedly trying to bribe the palestinians into giving up certain political ambitions it offers them 50000000000. 00 worth of investment in exchange for some key concessions. Explains now why palestine has already rejected what trumps billed as the deal of the century. Is trump not generous not fair and merciful who outs would offer palestinians such generous conditions such great perks and amazing bonuses that someone else is presumably going to pay for it dont call it the deal of the century for nothing you know and just as with all great deals its totally secret political side and the economic side are 2 very robust efforts our thought was that it was better to put the economic plan 1st makes sense when you are offered a job anyone would 1st want to know how much you get paid rather than what the job is and this pays great 50000000000. 00 in investment though they have no idea where thats going to come from a 1000000 jobs in whats left of palestine unemployment slashed to shreds and still the palestinians are unhappy 1st lift the siege of gaza stop the israeli theft of our Land Resources and funds give us our freedom of movement and control over our own borders and space territorial waters etc then watch us build a vibrant prosperous economy as a free and sovereign people the plowden or well the pay will be discussed in bahrain this week and the palestinians arent going and neither of these release which isnt great considering that this is the palestinian israeli peace deal. Were not going to turn this works or the Economic Situation should not be discussed before the political one as long as there is no political solution no deal with an economic solution. What the palestinians need to understand is that the again some and get lose in this case you apparently lose most of your country but still make the gas and coast really nice 40 kilometers of pristine beaches millions of tourists with great palestinian cousy oh yeah about losing half your country pod under certain circumstances i think israel has the right to retain some but unlikely on of the west bank i get why people think this is going to be a deal that only the israelis could love i understand the perception of that i hope everyone will just give the space to listen and let it settle in a little bit yeah i forgot to mention draft of a plan have leaked and according to them palestinians will be forced to give up 60 percent of the west bank it will be forbidden for palestinians to have an army and theyll have to pay israel for protection for ever and if they refuse to go along the us will sanction them to kingdom come also they still have no idea who pays for all of this if its private investors the palestinians will then have to pay them back presumably if so in effect the palestinians are being asked to. Told to give up most of their country in exchange for a load of the century more like deal of the millennium if you go by how absolutely one sided and absurd it apparently is this is you know it does not show that the us is. Fair. Mediator between the palestinians and the israelis basically referred to a mr burleson years are not capable of ruling themselves this vision violates International Resolution national law. You know its the philistines there are very sick rights makes it all laws. Or. Is. Allowed to continue to control resources. There was. No longer. Viable palestinian state. Now its only has raised the stakes in this ongoing conflict with the European Union over the countrys debt crisis deputy Prime Minister matthew selvin he said hed resign if brussels doesnt greenlight his proposed tax cuts it does come after the Italian Parliament proposed a new way of debt payments socalled many balts a form of a bond which brussels apparently sees as a potential threat to the euro. Explains one always feels bad for the e. U. As if the public humiliation of 17000000 brits saying they just didnt like it wasnt enough now its got another troublesome child on its hands italy now while it is the 3rd biggest economy in europe its also one of the weakest its plagued by sluggish growth high unemployment and a whole lot of debt and the e. U. Is getting a bit and annoyed that not enough is being done to deal with this debt crisis so its issued a warning that it will take disciplinary action but the mediterranean countries got other plans and its come up with a negative way around it all many parts or bills of treasury that basically small value notes the government would use to pay off people it goes without using real money a bit like a lunch coupon but the financial elites arent happy they say its got all the signs of a new currency and marks the fast up to 12 even the euro zone. Are your money and then. All their debt. The people who are in markets here will these many roads doesnt seem to be very promising many better ways to actually deal with the payment of areas. Does not require the creation of such instruments vaughns italian bonds could absolutely do the job now the idea of the many bought isnt new similar techniques have been used in argentina greece and california also its not like it is the only country in the e. U. To have overspent for 10 years front also failed to meet its Debt Reduction targets that brussels held its tongue but then again france doesnt have a populist government manned by no euro skeptics. Who food brussels. Your rules say you cannot feed your child do you think i would respect brussels rules do you think i would feed my child it is decided to wage a war on the home front to aside from the many pots its also proposed a draft law that would give the government the power to appoint members to the bank of italy the e. U. Is flustered fearing the board could end up less independent and more anti you and its likely disappointed over the loss of an ally on the inside the bank that reportedly acted on behalf of the European Central bank to help oust former Prime Minister silvio berlusconi. They threaten governments that misbehave with financial destruction they cut off refinancing and threaten to kill the Banking System they create a rollover crisis in the bond market this is what happened to italy in 2011 so you can sympathize with the e. U. The current italian governments made no attempt to hide its distain of the block the recent e. U. Parliament actually saw populist euro skeptic parties win ground the threats it uses to dissipate and wayward Member States are being bypassed and theyre not exactly galloping ahead breakfast shown there as an obit painful alternative youd forgive the e. U. If it needed a moment to mop it brow we are trying to find some solutions who busy. Go out from these streets to. We want to change this. Because that is a flock of that is not working in the right direction so we want to fight the flexible we see who shows. To me the true west of European Countries because we all these groups of us and that just the. Banks and so on we are not making. Or were not making big tourist author. Were talking of threats and disciplinary measures are. Speaking to the Russian Energy tycoon has been under western sanctions for years now you can watch the interview in full later this hour but it is a quick preview. Now how much money have you lost because of sanctions and you can you tell a number. No there is no such figure there was the 1st wave that mainly affected the bank because there was this global rush. And people started withdrawing money from their accounts and they took out significant amounts out of our bank but. At 1st it did affect darpa aeration. Then we took a number of steps and explain to our clients that it poses no actual risk to them and thankfully they believed. So there is no danger. Basically we didnt lose anything so why do you think that you know you were interested whether crimea bridge construction strategically very important projects because your presence close friend and he knows you for a long time you know or because he says Something Else and you because of their lot of rich people in russia but somehow you got entrusted with this project why. In the one. There were not many takers to be honest some are afraid. Some nearly wont be able to finish their construction the president never said really hey you come here youre going to build the bridge and if you dont well cut off your arms. Or god forbid it was quite the opposite actually. Asked us to consider the risks for. When i was aware of the risks for some time off shore as well like a honeypot. Everyone believe that it was all on stable and on the reliable and russia at least all of that and if one was great over there russian businessmen wanted to do business in the west and it was really. Take everything away from them in russia which now is the opposite of daves businesses outside of russia were snatched lessers frozen all blog and whine about it and no one can take your business away here and were good all we have is in russia. So what weve got to do is identify the threats that we have its crazy. Foundation let it be an arms race is on offer and spearing Dramatic Development only going to exist i dont see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. Welcome back a graduate of londons Royal College of art has changed his name to name surname and whats more it helped him to earn his masters degree from the Prestigious School the student says he wanted to highlight issues of gender and diversity the initial gesture was just to minimise my identity to as small as possible i didnt. See the kind of things that all get brought up in the conversations around a good name surname its anonymous and paradoxically not anonymous at the same time because it highlights itself or Something Different name surname will present his artwork namely himself as a graduation show which opens later this month hes planning to talk to our lovers too about his new identity discussing everyday experiences such as how to communicate with a bank or College Officials with a name like that its the final pace in his contemporary art practice degree and his cheetah seems proud of the students work in some ways its a very simple piece of work which opens up on to lots and lots of complexity i think thats quite an admirable thing to do. What we talk to human rights attorney Jennifer Braden and also social commentator my wound safir their reaction to the students work. While the purpose would be considered art of for creative and cultural understanding and opinions i think that there was an end product an end result something that can be considered the end work of the art besides just a human being that already existed having a different name i think theres probably no bigger state when that can be made right now why must i be defined by what you think is or you might think is a muslim or you think is gay or straight or anything else for that much of a lot of the people that are claiming for for identity to be seen for their identity are coming out stronger within their identity whether theyre muslim whether theyre catholic whether theyre black white red whether they have a different ethnicity that they want it here too and so yes you could make the argument that doing so would be considered a work of art or doing so would be something thats important to these gender identity politics or social constructs this student chose to have absolutely no identity in this day and age for somebody to say im going to throw an identity book to myself and completely take away any idea that mr mason the mrs im nonbinary gender fluid or ideas about heritage why do we need to package everything up and say this stereotype and market people want to be free to express themselves freely now you dont have to be an art critic to understand that appreciating art is something thats supposed to be a universal content concept that has brought people together and so in the times we see today were seeing more and more division and so when we start to redefine these terms take something that is universal like music or art in general and throw it into that political and social maelstrom throw it into that divisive context i think we do have a problem this is a huge huge and its very contemporary is very of the time and i think its important that we give it you credibility because it actually raises questions about how we Govern Society how we munch society how we stop certain voices shining through and how we limit other voices and allow other voices through and if i give them platforms and raise them up yes it has incited. Conversation debate i think thats very good to do but lets keep that in the social political constructs and outside of the universal bringing together idea of art. Now the u. S. Department of Veterans Affairs has refused to fully approve a controversial new antidepressant instead it will only be made available to on a limited basis donald trump has been urging its adoption something that reportedly sorts consideration fastrack with a drug goes under the brand name of spirit and is chemically related to ketamine is made by the pharmaceutical giant johnson and johnson and its intended to be for use when standard therapies fail not cheap though a years supply would set a patient back 30000. 00 however experts inside and outside the government fear the drug could be dangerous the dangers of treatment ranged from hallucinations and dizziness to also sedation during several years of trial 6 people who were treated with the drug died 3 of the deaths were suicides however the drugs maker says investigators established that those deaths were not linked to their products and continue to tatted as a breakthrough in medicine spread arto is the 1st new type of medicine for treatment resistant depression in decades we firmly believe that people suffering from treatment resistant depression including our nations veterans deserve the opportunity to benefit from this breakthrough medicine. And suicides are a big problem in the u. S. On average 20 x. Soldiers killed themselves every day a number of doctors reject the idea that the new drug would make any difference. The biggest problem at hand is not the drug itself its the fact that instead of representing revolution in Mental Health treatment as it has been touted to escort them in is not a breakthrough at all spread to is shown to have a very slight benefit for patients in general but not for a man or people over 65 and thats mostly who the v. A. Serves spirit is very unlikely to help most veterans using deviate and so it absolutely should not be included on the for military but we talked to the Vice President of the transfer pace who believes that government should work to improve standards of living for veterans rather than trying to find a new drug i feel is rooted in problems with the United States system of operating which is bad and less war for the better part of the last 18 years. Without any real. Safeguards in place for the for the population of veterans or the population in general we dont have secure housing we dont have secure employment we dont have secure opportunities for education we dont have secure health care and the military targets the most vulnerable populations in order to meet its recruitment standards so we are recruiting people into the military having them face untenable situations and then frankly just trying to find a pill to fix it after the fact which only failed and that break brings you up today for this hour that i things are looking back again in 30 minutes
