Supreme court judge Brett Kavanaugh leaving important details at. 10 oclock here in moscow and youre watching International Live from our studio with me welcome to the program saudi arabia claims that iran was involved in this weekends attack on the kingdoms all refineries and that the attack was not conducted from yemen in the south but came from the north there on swiftly the defense ministries claims as lacking real proof his more print with details. Well we heard the press conference from the Saudi Ministry of defense earlier and we also understand that at this point mike pompei 0 has arrived in saudi arabia for his working visit and he is referring to the attack as an act of war in blaming iran but at the press conference that we heard they announced that they had carried out a thorough investigation and come to some pretty specific conclusions as. The attorney did not originate from yemen the attack was launched from the moon and was on question be sponsored by a wrong its not in the range of yemens capabilities if it was them who conducted the attack this is one of the missiles we have recovered and we have information that leads us to the source that these kind of components were made in iran as the saudi officials were speaking they had scattered parts of the missiles to route the room and they pointed to these scattered parts of the missile to make their point that iran was responsible if that Iranian Regime and the i. R. G. C. Are trying to hide any evidence of the components and the Technology Im sure we will. Were working on who have is responsible about to take accountability basically as the saudi officials were speaking they argued that the components of these missiles were iranian made they said that iran is attempting to hide evidence interestingly when they were pressed for details about the location from which the attack was launched they gave some rather vague answers this is saudi officials responding to questions from reporters when when is the breaking point what is the red line where you feel youll be compelled to respond militarily. That were working right now to move the launch point and when we have it we will have evidence the decision is not on my level now the Islamic Republic of iran has responded and said that this is simply not accurate and they said that saudi arabia does not have real proof that iran is responsible. The News Conference from the Saudi Arabian defense ministries press secretary is a catastrophe for saudi arabia theyve shown they cannot prove or know exactly where the cruise missiles and drones were made from exactly with that attack was launched or why a Defense Systems could not prevent that attack we discuss recent developments with former british m. P. Matthew cordle banks who is a Senior Research fellow for the u. K. Defense academy he says that riyadh occurred to have missed the attack from yemen as their defenses are aimed at iran what they really mean is that the weaponry may well have been supplied and probably was by iran in exactly the same way that my country and others have supplied arms to the kingdom of saudi arabia. Been used in this 4 year war against yemen most of the weaponry and the cyber equipment is actually aimed at iran and not. And therefore all sorts of things could have come floating through the air from yemen which may very well have been missed and i think thats probably what happened in this case. But more than 90 percent of the vote counted in the fate of israels Prime Minister in the balance right now in any case neither has enough allies to form a government which means yet more protracted coalition tours lie ahead on middle east correspondent paula slayer and that he tells. Well it certainly seems as if youve read the situation wrong this is the 2nd election in 6 months and its the 2nd time in 6 months that netanyahu has lost he is being placed 2nd to the full the army chief benny gantz who heads up a center left party now the race has been tight its only 160000 seats that is the equivalent of that one parliamentary mandate so its only one 160000 seats that separate the 2 leaders. Who is running out of Coalition Partners he hasnt got any new partners to approach to put sides his traditional ones and hes also making a desperate attempt to try and present this in a positive light hes made an appeal which he says we will fight on to form a strong zionist government without the arab parties many people here interpret that as the disparate words of a desperate man they need guns is not going to be tossed presumably with forming the next government he says he is prepared to potentially work with netanyahu so we could party but only if netanyahu is not there and netanyahu of course is not going to accept this but there are questions whether or not in the future the party might actually osc him to step down so that they can form that unity government and still remain within the Ruling Coalition believe him and he really is the king the king maker here and he is expected to have between 8 and 10 seats now and he and netanyahu have a lot of bad blood between them so on the one hand theyll need to put their personal differences aside and then on the other hand the time yahoo is committed to the orthodox parties and lieberman is campaigning on the ticket. He wants nothing to do with the orthodox parties so it seems almost impossible hunters are not whos going to be able to form a coalition with lieberman on the one side and the orthodox parties on the other so so this is the problem in israel is just too Many Political parties with too many different agendas the sense one gets here is that the country really is in a position of stalemate almost in the same position that it was 6 months ago and thats why increasingly more questions are being. As to whether or not it through the nixon is going to be held which is just essentially going to cost the country more its going to create more fatigue and more frustration amongst israelis. And that allowed this to mitchell believes that for now mr netanyahu doesnt have any Viable Options for a coalition the ironic thing is the last election which was a few months ago and its and you know how to really all the options in the world he could have formed a right of Center Government a narrow one with about 61 suits or he could have sat down with benny gantz and had a unity government with 70 and added more parties he chose to do neither he wasnt successful in either called for new elections now what it appears is i would say its the final countdown to the end of the career of that and you know hes talking about a narrow right of center zionist government you know a narrow government and benny gantz is sounding like a leader unifying the people the will of the people hes going to talk to all the parties most of the parties that have run from the left blue and white to the labor party to the Democratic Camp Party all of them as said will join a National Unity government with the likud even we just wont do it with it and you know its a you know for most israeli politicians and many and many of the israeli people is damaged goods. And you tanel book about allegations of alleged Sexual Harassment by u. S. Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh as being a previewed in the New York Times but the papers facing a backlash for apparently taking things out of context and has been reading between the lines. If youre kind of sick of hearing the same story all over again like the president called this or that media nothing but junk or youre glad you havent heard the name brand cavanaugh and something related to his genitals for a while im really sorry i dont think theyll do it but they should for the good of the nation i call for the resignation of everybody here to do york times involved. Yeah which is once again one of the biggest stories in the land of trump and co vs the liberals here we go so 2 times journalists wrote a book and had a preview published in the sunday paper whats being teased are 2 previously reported alleged cases of Sexual Harassment by Brad Cavanaugh now a supreme Court Justice from his years at yale. A freshman named Brett Kavanaugh pulled down his pants interest his penis at her prompting her to swatted away and inadvertently touch it. A classmate masti or saw mr cameron with his pants down and a different drink in durham party where friends pushed his penis into to hand over female student now that is gross if it fell on mr cavanaugh was really up to all that surely he must face severe consequences although for now these are just lines from a book not something put forward by lets say the folks from the Justice Department but if you pick almost any one of the democratic president ial candidate lineup theyve made up their minds on what should be next for calve no confirmation is not exoneration and these news revelations that disturb him like the man who appointed him kevin all should be impeached he was put on the court through a sham process and he is placed on the court is an insult to the pursuit of truth and justice he must be impeached. It is more clear than ever that Brett Kavanaugh lied under oath he should be impeached i stand with survivors and countless other americans in calling for impeachment proceedings to begin but dig a bit deeper and perhaps trumps latest rant at the n. Y. T. Isnt so wide off the mark there could have been a bit of a problem with their journalistic ethics you see some conservative folks got an advanced copy of the book and realized something rather important was dropped in the times teaser the book notes quietly that the woman max steer named as having been supposedly victimized by cavanagh in france denies any memory of an alleged event seems i dont know significant it was then the papers turned to do something about it after a while heres what they came up with. An earlier version did not include want aliment of the books account regarding an assertion by classmate to friends of Brett Kavanaugh pushed his penis into him of a female student and a Drunken Party the book reports that if female student declined to be interviewed and friends see the she does not recall the incident that information has been added to. The authors were bound to be asked why the central piece of the puzzle was missing in your draft of the article did it include those words that have since been added to the article and to it so somewhere in the editing process those words were no i mean i think what happened actually was that you know we had her name and you know the times doesnt usually include the name of rectum and so i think in this case the editors felt like maybe it was probably better to remove it and in removing her name they removed the other reference to the fact that she didnt remember that they could have done a good job at protecting the victim or they could have messed the whole thing up wildly because no matter whats not in the article they say her name is in the book or maybe mr trump was right and they didnt want to read the story of that extra spice and left out the crucial bit on purpose what if the woman doesnt even consider herself a victim she reportedly says she doesnt remember anything gross like this oh god. His genitals liberal media rob watch this space my friends. And he says pakistan controlled kashmir should be considered part of its own territory and in foreign minister also expressed hope that one day they would have physical jurisdiction over the region pakistan and india have been at loggerheads over kashmir for more than 70 years since they failed to agree on the borders drawn up in the british partition of india. It used to be one country under british rule where communities of differing religions live side by side for generations but 70 years ago independence or the region split into india and pakistan in a process that went down in history books as the partition and so did the man who hurriedly through the border the year 1947 the dying days of the British Empire weakened by the 2nd world war india became a burden london was also unable to counter the growing Independence Movement led by Matt Mackenzie to fix it britain appointed lord louis mountbatten as the last viceroy of india he made it clear it was not his dream job. I am prepared to accept the job only on one condition india must be granted independence by july 948 and i will not stay there a day longer. Once he arrived though he decided he couldnt wait that long it needed to be sorted more quickly in just 5 weeks to be precise and to lord Cyril Radcliffe a british lawyer who had never set foot in india he was tasked with drawing a line between the most cohesive muslim and hindu Populated Areas just like mountbatten radcliff 2 found india not to his liking. It was impossible to undertake the field survey in june because of the heat so how does anyone whos not familiar with the situation on the ground decide where the border is going to be well studied the maps obviously its all in there the demographics the religious majority its also simple isnt it but the areas with the majority of muslims in pakistan and the hindus in india Problem Solved right if the aspirations of some people had not been fulfilled the fold must be found in political arrangements with which im not concerned the ratcliffe line was only revealed to the people the day before independence and. Of celebration were replaced with fear and confusion as millions woke up on the wrong side of the border the partition and the radcliffe line led to unprecedented violence resulting in up to a 1000000 deaths so how did it all go wrong many areas had equal numbers of muslims and hindus radcliffe also didnt take the sikhs into account and hed never even heard of kashmir. I was not even aware of kashmir i heard about it long after i returned to london both lord mountbatten and lord radclyffe made a swift exit from the heat leaving millions of people to deal with their quick and toxic solution for generations to come. Today in india controlled kashmir a Communications Blackout is being enforced making it very difficult if not impossible for people on either side of the disputed region to speak to each other it just says it was put in place to curb potential violence and prevent the possibility of separatist rallies we spoke to a family unable to call their relatives on the indian side of the border. My own sit up since last march weve been unable to get a hold of our relatives in indian held kashmir but we keep trying to restore to a disconnect ive seen for myself this kind of atrocity back in 2010 when i went to a medium held kashmir the situation was intense. We were dying to know their condition were concerned something isnt right we have no idea of that you have food to Young Children are growing hungry you the acumen. And does it do that the whole time. And yes it is like this when they were trying to reach down we pray for them constantly our hearts are bleeding we just want to see them again. Kashmir is split into 3 parts administered by India Pakistan and china which also has claims to part of the territory tension escalated recently after new delhi stripped india administered kashmir its only muslim majority state of its autonomy in august pakistan rejected the move saying it contradicts International Law on tuesday indias leader Narendra Modi announced that the kashmir region would get a Development Boost including Foreign Investment he says the region has to be made prosperous and negotiations are already underway meanwhile indias top Court Ordered the federal government to restore normal life in kashmir as soon as possible. We also regional analysts whether blackouts and other severe measures were necessary in kashmir. Exceptional Situation Requires exceptional measures and. Implementers im sure the government will. Nominate see you know very sharp bit of pain is armed with. A lot of things when relaxed but examples. Are those are all been most of the but i think its open to public and the maryland connections are as well of course some restrictions are there and shouldnt do course of pain those are destructions would also be removed so those who are gay will be released in the hoodie dupers are very little except those who house this or charges against them and the cases are going against them in the various sports clearly the some of the confusion and the restrictions on the Communications Restrictions especially. Telephone and on internet are working because a lot of the cross border terrorist attacks have happened to coordination or were these means and also through all. The other such things which are not you know which are encrypted and not easy to crowd funding diligence agencies so i think some of the restrictions will remain but 90 more than 90 percent of our countrymen rally because a muslim majority part of june 1 kashmiri are already did time. Dictions have been lifted and landline telephones are actually working and i dont want my own friends there who have been able to communicate with me to landlines so its not that theyre completely i saluted or theres a daughter blackout but gradually i think as the security situation improves i think most of these really believed it. A show of support and defiance well known figures from russias film and t. V. Industry of voicing their solidarity with the actor who they say was wrongfully convicted of resisting arrest have alister was detained during a protest rally of the last. Merril election in moscow he is now appealing his 3 and a half year sentence as medina explains. The moscow court has sentenced a young up and coming out. Of to 3 and a half years and prison for attacking a member of russias National Guard during an unsanctioned rally that took place on august the 3rd now the officer who arrested testified in court and she said that he was an active participant in the rallies that he was shouting on to government slogans and that he during the arrest he dislocated his shoulder meanwhile there is a video footage. Rastan many were outreach saying on the video puddle simply stands by the metro station looking at his phone and not shouting slogans himself says that he did not intend to use force he stumbled backwards and denies that he is guilty of any wrong doing now the judge read refused to review the video footage of the rats ruling that introduced by the prosecution was sufficient this case sparked an outcry and attracted the attention else many different people from well known journalists to a number of high profile figures and of the world of culture here in russia all offering support for a possible. Regarding the standoff i have to repeat literally what i wrote a blog its not a matter of solidarity its about justice injustice is what destroys states this is duration in which the act of himself is a blatant injustice its impossible to ignore its all keep silent. No the point is not in Community Solidarity but in the fact that this directly concerns me to the monstrous injustice and cynicism with which this has been done everyone right now there is a number of one man protests taking place in the capital of the president s of ministration building and no other defendant facing similar charges was released from prison and pleas to enter travel restrictions so all these cases track now a lot of attention. The teenage face of the Global Climate change movement has been giving the u. S. Congress a dressing down 16 year old gretton berg told them is to listen to the scientists and take real action she earlier met for president barack obama addressed the senate. Dont invite us here just to tell us how inspiring we are without actually doing anything about it because it doesnt lead to anything i know youre trying but just not hard enough sorry target is in washington for a few days ahead of a Global Climate strike planned for friday which will also address the un Climate Action summit in new york on monday the youngster became the face of this years climate protests by taking part in school strikes and skipping class joined by students around the world scientists though are warning of a growing number of youngsters being treated for eco anxiety after being exposed to apocalyptic warnings about the earths environmental plight britains Climate Psychology Alliance says children are being prescribed psychiatric drugs to cope and once the problem to become a recognised condition Group Executive and psychotherapist Caroline Hickman needed a rational fear so shouldnt be medicated away. Younger people are naturally very empathetic serious the state of the environment most going on in the wild at the moment were talking about their future of course they perceive this as a real threat to them so i think its perfectly understandable that they are really quite stressed and distressed about this this is a very emotionally healthy response to the lyrics of the well to the man and a recount ignore whats going on in the news because the graphic images are front and prancing are really quite right well i would be very concerned to hear that said childrens just gestures being medicated away as i said you know their emotional responses make perfect sense in their lives whats going on in the wild so the 1st thing we need to do is listen to them talk to them and help them process these complicated feelings its really important to tell children the truth and not hide the truth from them but child know about these things in ways that they can understand dont exaggerate many my seeds because both of those would cruise just rest and would cause problems with the news ill be back with all the latest updates around 30 minutes time to stay with us. I am. When i was a child seemed wrong. Why dont we just dont hold. Anything at all yet to see how this thing can advocate and in again try to equalize the trail. When so many find themselves worlds apart when just to look for common ground. Thousands of american men and women choose to serve in the countrys military and the decision a little sheltered lives every day and came to a complete. The day that i was raped being struck in is you know told to shut up or theyd kill me and i see how it destroyed my life any screamed at me and he made me come in and he grabbed my arm and he write me with his birthing area if you take into account that women dont report because of the extreme retaliation and its probably somewhere near about half a 1000000 women have now been sexually assaulted in the u. S. Military rape is a very very traumatizing thing to have happen but ive never seen trauma like ive seen it from women who are veterans who have suffered military sexual trauma reporting rape is more likely to get the victim punished dont be offended i had an almost 10 year career or chose very invested in and i gave that up to report a sex offender who was not even going to justice or put on the registry this is some plan is sheer power and violence male sexual predators for the large part of target whoever is there to prey upon whether thats a man or when. You lose. Him or hes boy. Or happy. To supply is sleep. Hello and welcome to crossfire for all Things Considered Peter Lavelle again we stand on the brink of war we should not be surprised the fischel washington was quick to blame iran for the attack on saudi energy acids iran has denied involvement while the who have claimed responsibility will trump take the neocon bait and set the middle east on fire. Talking trump and a rant im joined by my guest Mohammad Marandi into and hes a professor at the university of tehran in riyadh we have brought him he is a saudi analyst and in miami we cross to Nicholas Davies hes an independent journalist a researcher for code pink as well as author of blood on our hands the American Invasion and destruction of iraq right gentlemen crosstalk rules in effect that means you can jump in and any time you want i always appreciate well let me go to you in. Iran is being being called the culprit in all of this i just as i was sitting out in the studios c. N. N. Is reporting that the saudi government and washington have a very high probability that iran did this it instead of the pointing fingers here i dont have to ask i think a far more germane question who benefits from this attack on saudi Energy Assets who is the beneficiary go ahead mom and. No one benefits except for perhaps the Israeli Regime but at the end of the day i think the solution to all this is for the saudis to end the war in yemen the saudis have been carrying out atrocities for 4 and a half years now theyve been Bombing School buses Bombing Schools hospitals ambulances weddings funerals and theyve been starving the country with the help of western countries and theyve been given all the weapons that they need to carry out these atrocities by europeans by the americans during previous administrations current the Current Administration its i mean across europe and north america they are guilty of war crimes and of course the saudi regime is at the top of the list because theyre carrying it out its also so that the story that needs to be this fuss is the so the aggression against the country if that comes to an end if the saudis recognize the rights of the people of yemen then all of this comes send the the yemenis have become increasingly capable sophisticated their drone and missile capabilities have been evolving during this period of time and theyve been hitting harder and better at some of the installations and infrastructure and the saudis have lost the war in the south as well the this ots and them are atis by through their proxies or be
