A cell that was 10 meters by 10 liters. So theyre welcome its midday here in moscow youre watching our International Top story this hour the u. S. Has sent a team of experts to saudi arabia to investigate last weeks drove a missile attack on the kingdoms Oil Refineries the u. S. Says its confident around is to blame and values to impose new sanctions on tehran just to remind you last saturday it doesnt cruise missiles and over 20 drones hit a Major Oil FieldProcessing Plant in the east of the kingdom the attack which the rebels claim they carried out knocked out 5 percent of the Global Oil Supply and saw the price of oil rock it. Looks now what evidence has been presented so far. It has been decided that iran did it and that started opinion all finding with the result of an investigation its a decision guilty this was an iranian attack we were blessed. Killed in this attack but any time you have an act of war of this nature theres always a restructured hoppen trub is doing what trump does best signing pieces of paper bringing to bear a slew of new sanctions against iran to come into effect within 48 hours and it isnt done and well see what happens well see what happens and i think we have a lot of good capital and we have to do something well do it without hesitation the americans who werent attacked of already decided what happened then who is guilty the saudis who were attacked and have all the day bre in bits and pieces of the missiles are still working on technicalities like evidence and proof let that sink in. The attack did not originate from yemen the attack was launched from the move and was unquestioned be sponsored by iran 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. So what they found is the weapons were allegedly made with iranian components they were fired from the north the direction of iran and its neighbors so cutting to the chase it was iran thats what youre going to say right. The rain regime and the i. R. G. C. Are trying to hide any evidence of the components and the Technology Im sure we will spoke to launch site we are working and whoever is responsible about it will take the accountability not once during the presentation that the saudis specifically say that iran did it and theres no love lost if they could they would say it but technicalities but saudi arabia wont do brave journalists will too happy to undeniable evidence of a reign in aggression it almost has the fingerprints of the revolutionary guard and its influence over the hutu rebels tonight u. S. Intelligence indicates the unprecedented attack on Saudi Oil Fields originated from iran our top intelligence officials think iran did it and so does our top an intelligence official donald trump because 1 may ask what on earth saudi defenses were doing at the time theyve got the 3rd biggest military budget on earth one of americas best clients the countrys livid with patriot and other anti Missile Systems 80000000000. 00 a year should protect you from a score of drones and missiles no. 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 the only thing that might be iranian related is that maybe some of the equipment some of the technology that the who these have might have been incorporated into the attack but why why or why is anyone complaining especially the saudis since the u. S. Has been providing the bombs and the aircraft to the saudis to bomb yemen for 4 years so the who with these are just responding back then again to those saying its iran because there are alleged iranian components in the day bri does that mean that the u. S. Is responsible for horrific massacre in yemen i mean sure saudi arabia dropped the bombs but those say made in the United States more likely than not arabia has been clearing the shelves of american arms manufacturers recently by this logic is new need to investigate to collect evidence its american bombs it has got to be america for. An entire country reduced to misery and pain untold thousands dead more to die but you know what its the oil refinery in saudi arabia the book wires vengeance. Or gas the of reporting now theres been a new twist in the standoff between venezuela and the u. S. With caracas now were. Washington to reopen diplomatic ties it comes after president Nicolas Maduro entered into talks with the opposition parties relations between venezuela and the us went downhill in january when dont trump officially recognized the opposition leader. As the interim president of the country being linked to you and his wild and drug gangs something washington seems on concern by kind of more pain he explains it without a winnable so weve got a tale of 2 venezuelan president s weve got interim selfproclaimed president one great oh and weve got not Nicolas Maduro but his predecessor the late leader hugo chavez now both of them are being accused of ties to drug cartels heres a picture of one wedo with the leaders of a drug gang this duo is infamous in the criminal underworld and the photo is dated february 22nd when great it was in colombia trying to sneak across the venezuelan border since it surfaced one kwaito as shrugged it off as no big deal to him in. The middle regime protects the drug gangs so theyre trying to divert attention the real question is how they go told of the picture thousands of people get the food to stay can with me and the images get passed around to whats up so who was it that sense of whats up picture to the leader of the socialist box. Now the u. S. State Department Also says that it is no big deal wedo still receives full u. S. Backing but when it comes to hugo chavez the story is a big deal never mind that its more than a decade old and that hugo chavez is long dead they say that he tried to flood the United States with cocaine and in spain they wanted the head of military intelligence in venezuela extradited but the judge in the case isnt buying it. Or couldnt have hoped for anything different im innocent they have always made false accusations against me the truth is there. What has happens is. As the colombian opposition leaders say if a colombian politician were to be seen in a photo with those criminals he would be prosecuted the union his military and bloody media and political circles are trying to make the scandal smaller actually huge in venezuela colombia a loss in america. 2 president s 2 stories and 2 different approaches because why focus on the connections of your ally in the present when you can focus on the alleged connections of your enemy 10 years ago. R. T. New york lost the house the next president of ecuador talked to president majeure over the difficult period venezuela is going through. Letter to. The strategy of building a parallel government of the support of the u. S. And its latin American Allies from the lima group has failed it had no chance of success. In a play or clear that they would hope i could not believe it even in europe enlarging europe people recognized as president someone who simply declared himself to be so on the streets without winning a president ial election he got. The real power is in the hands of the european only garc extremities who are the closest allies of the Us Government they are like blood brothers donald trump has imposed his extremist towards venezuela on europe that i me you know in a story like there is a distorted image of god as well and in the International Media and there is the real venezuela which you can see with your eyes it is a nation that whatever happens will protect itself like a family but i dont know the state of the economy has an influence on the political situation because ordinary citizens dont know about that and believe what they hear in the media and media does not inform us of that manipulates venezuela is and are more than just sanctions it is foreign aggression even it were just sanctions what would be the justification in. A year and rafael ill go even further if we look at modern history we see what happened to Saddam Hussein in iraq after the gulf war in 19921901 of the u. N. Security council imposed economic trade and financial sanctions on iraq and on sudan but later the Security Council allowed him to get medicine not commodities and Food Exchange for oil tankers that venezuela is not under the u. N. Sanctions these are unilateral illegal sanctions by the u. S. But we are not being given the opportunity that its like iraq had. The israeli Prime Minister has called on the leader of the opposition to form a Coalition Government that after bending netanyahu failed to win a majority in a snap election. Ben it is a nasty form of broad unity government today the nation expects out both of us to accept responsibility and Work Together some told in a new banish thats made today at any hour vance this approach is that is the mission of the hour we cannot go to. Theres no reason to pose the question with 97 percent of the vote counted Netanyahu Center right could blow is 2 seats behind the center left blue and White Alliance which also failed to get a majority on wednesday netanyahu said that if the government isnt led by him it will be quote a dangeroUs Government that receives its mandate from the arab parties he served as the countrys Prime Minister for 10 years in a row now i could come to an end shortly so lets get you said dr mordecai key to all his electric Power Line University in tel aviv and he joins us and youre very welcome what are your views on this them what you think is going to happen next. Where both big parties the likud on one side under an attorney leadership and the blue and why under the leadership of guns they feel that the 3rd elections if happens in few months they will fail daughter because theyre in these elections which were was this week both of them lost like 10 percent of the power means that the people do not want them any more or less people want them and they both netanyahu and guns might be afraid that in the next elections they will lose much more so since this is the situation they might meet in order to shape the government and they both if they unite one coalition they dont need any partners of course in it and you know we bring in the orthodox and the old out of those parties. In order not to betray them to leave them outside so if this happens israel might have a government based on like 2 thirds of the knesset which is almost unprecedented a very wide. Base is in the in the parliament but the question is how strong this. Will be how consolidated it will be what you think it means for israeli policy and israeli policy change in any way as a result of any calculation being formed. Of course if the. Parties from the left side of the political map joining the. Government on one side is more comfortable to have a wider coalition but on the other side is a problem because now Everyone Wants to pull the wagon to a different direction so you turn yellow and guns if they have the brains to sit together and to ship a government they will have to break over some differences in order to have one policy implemented of course it will be more centric and it will not lean to the left because the tonio is not of these and in any in any shape or form but the question is how much he can be flexible taxable with their lives in order to join to join them yet not to give up on everything ok i mean you talked about building bridges that were forming bridges whats the left policy or the brainwash policy on for example the occupied territories because we heard him say before the election look if we win well extend israeli cell phone tree see these areas i mean how is that likely to be debated if a coalition is formed. Well 1st of all i have to correct you its not occupied territories it is liberate to return to those which will occupied under the jordanian occupation between 1048167 this one thing 2nd thing everybody is afraid that if we if israel creates a palestinian state this state will turn eventually into another one a stunt either by elections as already happened in january 2006 when hamas won the majority of the seats of the Palestinian Legislative Council or by coup detat as already happened in gaza in june 2007 means between elections and could the palestinian state will everyone please turn into another hama star and no you say with brains would allow such a thing even if using the limit of this very same to politics will probably pay you need money i dont need on this point would it would occur election just agree with you there and say no no i will go forward with what netanyahu was saying before the election or is there likely to be some compromising pullback thats what im trying to ask. You know the blue and white party youre under the guns are not suicidal they know exactly what palestinian state means and they can very well unite on the idea that the palestinian state or the whole area of today in some area will be existing tional some danger on israel and this is definitely they can agree upon and this can be the basis of the policy ok mr kato were going to have to leave it there weve run out for time but so when you get to tell it you havent stopped him. Hes a Lecturer University that in tel aviv thank you. Criticism of israel has seen a renowned author being denied. Award of more on this story. Just after the break. You know world a big part of a lot and conspiracy its time. To dig deeper to hit the stories that Mainstream Media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door. And shouting past each other its time for Critical Thinking its time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. Exit from. Big countries accumulate big positions and goals thats an exit for all. Because we know that over the past 300 years no fear bloody house survive. Hello again now an Anti Terrorist crackdown in nigeria has led to thousands of children being detained thats according to a new report from Human Rights Watch we spoke to them about their findings. Since 2013 nigeria has detained about 3600 children and in june Human Rights Watch went to the northeast of nigeria where boko haram its most active and we interviewed more than 30 children who had been detained the vast majority of these children were never charged with a crime in fact they were never taken to court they never had the opportunity to see a judge the children were denied contact with their families and held in orrible conditions they described so little space that they couldnt turn over at night they were you know pile one next to the other they described it like the razor blades packed many of them something began losing hope that they would ever be released some thought that they would die in detention were children as young as 5 were reportedly held in overcrowded military detention facilities on little or no evidence they spend months even years there without charge with also reports of sexual physical and mental abuse and of overcrowding to the children had been accused of involvement with the terrorist Group Boko Haram or the radical Islamist Organization is based in northeastern nigeria and it carries suicide bombings as well as armed assaults throughout western africa in 2015 who had pledged allegiance to Islamic State and many of the imprisoned children who were rounded up by nigerian authorities during military operations against the terrorists. They are asked me if i was a member of burka her and beat me up when i said no they tied my hands and legs and hung me to a tree and continued to flow camy they flogged me and left me tied to the tree from morning till evening one person from my village was killed during the interrogation if you make a noise if you drink water without asking them if you go toward the door to get fresh air they beat you. The soldiers had girlfriends one of the girls from our village was a girl friend of a soldier she would usually take her out of the compound some ladies got pregnant in the cell and delivered while i was there. All the nigerian authorities have released over 2000 children from the tension since 2030 nearly all of whom had been held without charge although its not known how many children are still being held in custody joe becker again says the government should make more of an effort to release the. Nobody knows the current number of children may still be in military custody nigerian authorities do not allow the nations or independent organizations like Human Rights Watch to access the military Detention Centers but what Human Rights Watch is calling for is that nigerian authorities release any remaining children in military detention and transfer them to civilian protection authorities so that they can receive rehabilitation help or unifying with their families and reintegrating into their communities. In response the Nigerian Military has denied the allegations that have been made in the report saying the children are kept in secure areas and are also adequately cared for weve asked the Nigerian Ministry of justice a comment on the story although so far we havent received a response.

The city of dortmund has reversed its decision to hand a literary awards to british pakistani author Kamila Shamsie that she plagiarized something commit a crime perhaps now its all because she supports an anti Israel Movement called boycott divestment sanctions.
