Will supply the turkish markets with russian. Hello good evening youre watching r. T. International its just gone 9 oclock am in moscow now the u. S. President donald trump has responded to irans foreign dozens of Ballistic Missiles to u. S. Military bases in iraq with an apparent olive branch to the people and leaders of iran we want you to have a future and a great future one that you deserve one of prosperity at home in harmony with the nations of the world. With more analysis now were joined by calum often in new york callup many people are feeling that he could have been a lot more aggressive but that isnt what we got. Indeed its quite a different tone than weve heard from trump in the last few days folks will remember the tweet where he threatened to destroy not only sites in iran but also cultural historical sites as well as other infrastructure and such in iran if iran dared to respond so quite a different tone we heard from donald trump whats also quite interesting is trump seems to have talked about continuing the sanctions against iran didnt specify however that the usa intended any retaliatory strikes for irans recent move and he also brought up the issue of Irans Nuclear capacity and allegations of Irans Nuclear proliferation the Iran Nuclear Deal which didnt seem to be related to the current controversy lets take a listen. As long as im president of the United States iran will never be allowed to have a nuclear weapon. Good morning the time has come for the United Kingdom germany france russia and china to recognize this reality. They must now break away from the remnants of the year and deal who are j c p a way now trump emphasized his opposition to the j c p o way the nuclear deal and was calling for different parties around the world to withdraw from it he saw it as a bad deal but he also seemed to indicate that he would be open to some kind of new nuclear conclusion or Nuclear Negotiation regarding the Islamic Republic and its Nuclear Energy program furthermore trump didnt shy away from praising u. S. Military equipment and weapons and he spoke of them in rather glowing terms lets take a listen to that. Our missiles are big powerful accurate lethal in fast under construction are many hypersonic missiles. The fact that we have this great military equipment however does not mean we have to use it we do not want to use it. Now many observers have commented on trumps demeanor and how he seems to be lacking a lot of the boldness and bluster for which is supporters like him for and have praised him for and its also noting interesting that trump mentioned that isis and the defeat of isis was a good thing for iran and left an opening for the usa and iran to cooperate against the i still terrorist so quite an interesting change in tone many people wondering if this will in fact lead to a further d. Ask elation other then but at the moment things have been known to change rather quickly all eyes are still on iran and on washington to see what the next move will be so certainly are ok thanks khaled that is khaled mop and therefore reporting from new york with response does come off around 5 dozens of Ballistic Missiles at 2 u. S. Military bases in iraq the iranian militarys calling the move for the death of its top general customs the money he was killed in a u. S. Drone strike last week. Want to get out get out of. The missile strikes happened at exactly the same time of night as the assassination of sort of mani 5 days earlier on the same secretary of Irans Supreme National Security Council tweeted this image of the iranian flag thats an apparent reference to tweet of the u. S. Flag just after the train trike that killed some the money the iranian president has laid out what revenge against the u. S. Would actually make. And no machine asks you to revengeful gun is to fools America House of this region the real revenge and response by regional nations is when america is expelled from this region and its hand of aggression is console for ever. Ok well we can talk about these developments but the us congressman former u. S. Congressman ron paul he joins saving a very welcome is always wrong thanks for coming on what did you make a trump speech he could have been a lot more aggressive couldnt. Yes he could have been but its not totally unlike trump you know to make a lot of noise and then get people all excited and stir things up and then he then back off a bit because i think basically im hoping anyway that he doesnt enjoy killing people and per provoking war but we still have our problems because he still has too many neo cons to run them to try to aggravate things and make things work worse but the speech certainly i do i watch the markets a lot and the markets were very very happy with it as you know yesterday the market that 400 points were recovered rather quickly and gold goes back down so his speech was welcomed by by the marketplace but i wish we could be reassured that peace has broken out because theres too many problems there and i just think that the solution is something i suggested before it started it is dont go in and since weve been and i say come home and iraqis ask us to leave and i think we should leave but as long as we have this monstrosity of an embassy in in. Iraq its just going to be provoking you know people to attack us so i it claims that he went in there and killed killed the later because he wanted to stop a war and of course i lean toward the fact acting like that is a. Were likely to start a war which i would like to make sure that we dont get into a real hot war and also i noticed during his speech there was always the looming threat of military action he always said look when weve got the Strongest Military in the world of course we dont want to use it but you know if we have to we could and then he went on to say he would like to see more nato involvement in the middle east what did you make of that he didnt give any details but i mean will that help would it make the situation worse. Well from my viewpoint it would make it worse there was a time when trump 1st got in office he didnt he didnt like nato and one of us to get out and and yet at the same time once he figured he could take it over and control until tell noto what to do i think he has agreed to you know keep working and pushing but no we dont need more people in there we need to look at the principles from our viewpoint here in the states is they dont interventionist Foreign Policy where we stay out of the affairs of internal nations and stay out of the affairs of the middle east a politically i mean i i advocate that we should be very engage we dont isolate ourselves but we should talk to people and get along with them have diplomacy and trade with people and the imperfections of the countries in the middle east should be dealt with with the people that live there and i see no benefit and i worked hard when i was in Congress Even to try to prevent the starting of a rock war in 2003 and also i spoke out so strongly about how that embassy was going to be a problem for us and it is and its going to continue to be. When. The iraqis voted to let the americans go home trump said well we cant go until they pay us for all the money we spent on air and thats just sort of hits me as a success as a silly approach to Foreign Policy how much of the instability in the middle east is than to irans actions do you think because he gave examples of funding he rebels and also backing hezbollah i mean does he have a point when he raises these issues and that is a coaster for conflict in the middle east at the moment. Yeah but you have to say is this the initiating force yes theyve been around it people have have an obligation to protect their countries and there is close by but what what are the odds you know when when we were going getting involved in iraq you know the American People got to the point that they thought that the iraqis part of the part of 911 and they had Nuclear Weapons and they were going to attack us here at home and set that is just you know way overboard so i i all i look and put on my programs a lot of times the math to show how many Nuclear Missile missiles we have and how many bases we have surrounding iran and this whole thing that that is irans fall and that they are the aggressor they can afford to be really aggressors that they have barrier capable of making a defense and thats what theyre trying to do now because somebody came in assassinate one of their leaders and i think that really is about as close to an act of war as possible i believe that sanctions are a war activity an actual act of war is when if if people came to United States and boycott us and blockaded us and said you can import oil you cant do this the American People would be outraged over this and yet thats what we do so the people say theres a war going to break out well i think theres a war going on but i think its the real war real threat a big problem is the fact that were sending troops all around the world and we have a 170. 00 countries that were involved and then we have an empire arent the empire is coming to an end i think some of the things that were witnessing in the middle east right now is a sign of weakness for our presence in the middle east and i think this whole thing the alliances with between iraq and iran i think is very very significant and something that is not easily handled even if we. A lot of weapons thats not going to solve the problem of lions with with iran and iraq and russia and china and these countries. Finally it will be limited because of our finances thats what brought the soviet system down i was finding out that they couldnt afford to do what they were doing and thats whats going to happen to us too we cant we cant afford it and the dollar cant be printed forever and then we will have that crisis isnt to be mixed with another International Crisis much worse and we just went through this past week ok a more you have used his hope of getting a new nuclear deal with iran many people might ask how could we trust the u. S. Pulled out of the last one you know not surely. You know thats one of the 1st things he did he got out of the nuclear deal and im not much for these International Agreements for that was one where things were actually improving you know and they never they never prove that the iranians broke broke the agreement and yet trump comes in we get out of the agreement in the end start blaming iran for breaking the agreement you know no yeah i might be able to put off he did this with you know now. The trade agreements between mexico and canada but it doesnt make any sense i dont think i dont think theyre going to be able to pull that off i think the only thing it would get us a better agreement or or break the impasse there is the fact that the europeans if they would stand up and speak for themselves they have more at stake and theyre the ones who didnt want to get out of it so they ought to have an agreement and maybe that will happen but the noninterventionist libertarian doesnt have an answer for everybodys problems its just that we like to try to prevent the problem getting worse by our own activities here and that is we ought to mind our own business and protect our country but not to be over there aggravating people so i dont think that we can participate and be trusted in a new agreement with iran ok ron were going to have to leave it at very nice to talk to you that was a former u. S. Congressman ron paul thank you. Well just a few hours off the uranian a strikes tragedy did strike in the iranian capital where a ukrainian adeline a passenger jet crashed minutes after takeoff Ukrainian Interior Ministry says that there were no survivors the moments of the crash was captured on video. Well boeing be ukrainian boeing 737 took off from the capital tehran here. At 6 12 am local time and it was bound for the ukrainian capital kiev and just a few minutes around 10 minutes after taking off air crashed and reports show that we received images and footage showing the plane crashing while in fire and the crash site is reportedly around 30 kilometers west of the one in a district called shari are all 176 people on board died there were in fact people of 7 different nationalities on the doing their liner ukrainian president Vladimir Zelinsky has cut short a visit to a man returned to kiev and on his Facebook Page he did express his condolences to the relatives of the victims heres an eyewitness account of the crash. Involving toil of the right side of the airplane and one end of it were completely on fire and i think the pilot made a great effort not to hit residential houses the plane crash landed in largely park and destroyed the fence of a football pitch then it took off again and exploded and was completely incinerated grieving relatives have been gathering Kiev International airport where flight 75 t. Was heading people are mourning the dead and waiting for any further information about the disaster is what the father of one of the crew members had to say this instruction will provide you my oldest son is the steward my daughter called me from the us she told me that the ukrainian aircraft crashed just where eagle flew i said to to run and then i saw the video of the plane crash. Washing out he still had he this after admitting his turkish counterpart of officially launched the turks 3 natural gas pipeline well have a look at the importance of that and more details just after the break. Join me every 1st week on the alex salmond show and ill be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business im sure business ill see you there. Again with r. T. Now in turkey putin in his turkish counterpart president have officially launched the stream natural gas pipeline project will supply the turkish and the markets with russian gas. I guess it is time to say happy new stream because the project has been a launch the official ceremony i was there for and i heard a massive round of applause and it was actually done by the leaders of 4 countries russia parky belgariad and serbia and just how well things seem to be go and with the turkish frame which is going through the waters of the black sea i guess it is fair to say that its kind of a compensation for all the trouble with a different project which is called nord string 2. There was a thorny path now because of the latest round of american sanctions there was a pause and its construction but i can tell you that washington was keen to rail turkey stream as well however because of personal commitment by Vladimir Putin and thai period 2 on this commitment did show that when 2 major leaders team up to somehow oppose u. S. Pressure that could lead to real Success Stories and this is exactly what mr putin talked about during the Opening Ceremony because the relations between russia are into the clear developing in practically sphere is just going to be a difficult situation in the world and efforts by some exertional plays to prevent the expansion of mutually beneficial cooperation between our countries. Well let me just give you some of the specific details about the pipeline itself turkish stream consists of 2 lines one is intended for consumers in turkey the other one goes to Southern Europe it could be extended to as far as austria or italy but the 1st countries to receive russian natch. Well gas through the turkish tree will be buggy area serbia and then like i said extensions are possible so the sea distance of that pipeline is some 900 kilometers and whats really important here and really impressive is the capacity because both these slides will be able to deliver more than 30000000000 cubic meters of natural gas again directly from the russian port city of a knob on to the shores of turkey and then further on to europe in a prank reporting that any stumble we discussed and it can stay with their own without guests. Our aim was initially starting from the late ninetys was to have diverse nation of troops under sources as regards to Energy Supplies because its important for turkey as we are not just producers so this to extreme replace the western pipeline. It will pump more than we have received so far from the west side with the us or towards use waited to clear it on various occasions that they were they they were not happy about the establishment of the church the white north to the americans would like also to sell their own guys in the form of identity that they have a huge capacities of identity. And they would like to say that if you took from that this isnt the 1st time turkeys been threatened with sanctions by the United States as we know with the russian air and system that turkey purchased america threatened the turks with katzs sanctions but turkey went ahead with the deal and now its going to be operational in april according to the chairman of the turkish the bents industries show so the turks have showed that theyre willing to stick to their guns when it comes to matters of National Security it looks like the turks will go ahead with this despite any type of sanction threats coming out of the United StatesEnergy Security is an important part of the National Security portfolio and what this project gives turkey is solid proof here and for the foreseeable future also during the meeting the leaders of russia and turkey cold for an end to hostilities in libya the warring sides there in the conflict to reach a cease fire by january the 12th we cool on all parties to declare a sustainable cease fire supported by the necessary measures to be taken for stabilizing the situation on the ground and normalizing daily life in tripoli and other cities. The country has been in a state of war since protests in 2011 and the ousting of the countrys leader Muammar Gadhafi most of libya is currently controlled by general wholly for hafter and the Libyan National army backed by moscow while turkey has stood behind the un backed government which is in charge of a fraction of the war torn country last month the requested military aid from ankara to counter the general forces at the point was approved last thursday by the turkish government political analyst Chris Bambery says theres a ceasefire they will be difficult to enforce. I think russia and turkey have some sway i think couper the government in tripoli turkey or no really the only backers but its also important to see that egypt and behind them so do rebel are also Major Players in this supporting the other side and i dont know how much control. How much attention there will be to a deal brokered between russia and tolkien given the antagonism exists particularly with so. Theres another complicating factor in here is the u. S. Government is no essentially only high in all in a coastal strip of the country has very little control it has the capital yes tripoli but very little else is just lost the major city of sirte so i dont see the other side. Appearing to be the age of victory backing off necessarily here but on the other hand we desperately need peace and the people of libya deserve peace so lets hope that this deal can be pulled off to give the long suffering people of libya peace that is have the news look so far the saving were back again with headlines and more stories in about 35.
