Good afternoon welcome this is r. T. Internet. Ukraines president has asked the u. S. Canada and allies to show evidence backing that claims a rocket brought down one of its passenger planes in iran on wednesday although vladimir lansky said the missile scenario cannot be ruled out he added that its not currently confirmed 176. 00 passengers on board lost their lives when the boeing 737 came down shortly after taking off from tehran airport and ski school comes as around invites International Experts to monitor the investigation. Considering the latest press tatums by heads of state we are asking all International Partners primarily the governments of the us canada and the u. K. To supply information and evidence pertaining to this plane crash does Investigative Commission is emitted and how much of it as well the americans the french the canadians and the swedish to come here and see how we investigate this crash specialist bodies from canada and america that investigate crashes we trust those bodies what we can say with absolute certainty is that no missile has had the splay. Or the black box recovered from the plane crash site has been shown by irans state media tehran rejected claims the plane was downed by a missile as a logical and possible. Looks at how speculation is mounting even before a probe has taken place. Nothing instills confidence in International Leaders more than my love of precise language. We have intelligence from multiple sources including are allies and our own intelligence. The evidence indicates that the plane was shot down by an arena and a surface to air missile and it was flying in a pretty rough neighborhood and somebody could have made a mistake some people say was be can it go i personally dont think thats. Even a question there is now a body of information that the flight was shot down by an iranian surface to air missile this may well have been an intentional were working closely with canada and our International Partners and they now need to be a full transparent investigation on specific intelligence unnamed allies multiple mysterious sources hardly the rhetoric one expects a at that level of diplomacy and b. When discussing the tragedy thats left 176 dead but its on surprising that iran has batted off this latest slew of unfounded allegations about the crash of Ukrainian Airlines flight 75. 00 to a nudge for calm and not check to prevail scientifically it isnt possible the missile hit the ukrainian plane and such rumors are illogical and its not an unreasonable request the investigation into the events of wednesday morning which saw the boeing 737 bound for t. Have crashed just minutes after takeoff has only just begun final report into aviation disasters take months if not years to be published they require coordination between numerous governments and organizations which is why iran has invited mult. Investigators including from boeing to visit the crash site in the meantime all there is a series with nothing but unnamed sources to back it all up which is why amid all the confusion and contradictions the ukrainian president who lost 11 of his citizens that morning as they returned home also called for an end to all the chatter and noise. Im asking everyone to refrain from speculation conspiracy theories hasty conclusions and unverified versions and its not a topic for hype but the spiraling tensions between tehran and washington especially in the past week have triggered an unprecedented level of scrutiny on the region and people dont seem willing to heed calls for calm especially when they feel the tide might be turning in a favored direction iraq could Strike Missile system is among the main working theories since there was information on the internet about elements of the Russian Missile being found near the site of the crash it didnt take long for the Mainstream Media to jump on that bandwagon c. N. N. Has never been one to turn down an unverified source especially when russia is involved pointed the finger at a bomb or missile new evidence indicates iran shot down ukrainian flight 75 too with 2 surface to air missiles made by russia and the undeniable evidence they offered a photo from twitter posted on the count that was later suspended maybe it breached the companys fake news guidelines but nonetheless even all the way across the pond the hysteria continued for the 1st one is the possibility that that plane was hit by a Russian Missile just after takeoff independent also published an article citing something called the o. P. s group an independent organization which has little to recommend itself other than it provides information and aviation professionals and foxs thoughts. According to its twitter page nevertheless it felt confident enough to recommend people just assumed the plane was shot down until evidence to the contrary and marge is guilty until proven innocent its the new name of the game in todays political landscape. Its been claimed the new video shows a missile streaking into the night sky over to iran and exploding as it hit a plateau. Being an independent german marks and some is not good afternoon to you martin. What a mess in terms of knowing exactly whats going on here latest information revealed a video in the media claims to show a missile hitting the plane and its also very compelling when you see videos at this News Organizations backing it up the New York Times say that they verified the 1st you dont know how they verify it but they say they verified it is it damaging to the official investigation when you when you see the media coming out with information all seems to have. Well earth. Is quite interesting that zelinsky said lets not jump to conclusions suggests that hes quite level headed about this and what the british Prime Minister is already putting out the idea that the plane is definitely shot down by a missile and of course the western politicians are trying to spin this because theyre in a bit of a mess because. Logically there are a number of things we need to take into account here the iranians are saying that its illogical that it was hit by a missile because the plane turned back before it crashed a bit hit by a missile he wouldve turned back and i dont know whether thats been confirmed but that seems to be the law and theyre taking secondly its possible that it could have been hit by a missile but if so it would have done by accident and therefore the chain of causality leads back to the assassination of salim mainly which also has led to the deaths of the all of those people at his funeral all of these things are Collateral Damage of the decision made. That theres a 3rd possibility which is the plane was shot down by somebody on the ground using. Missile now the motivation for that would be because youve got a terrorist groups operating inside iran like amy kaye who are working closely with israeli american and British Intelligence a very may have done this for their own reasons. Incredible to people to remember that al mahdi the Prime Minister of iraq. Is resigning but when he spoke to paul newman last week in iraq he said that he had been threatened. That if he did chinese oil deal he was going to be assassinated and so there would be protests against him which would then be shot by snipers killing both protesters and Police Officers which is pretty similar to what happened in modern square and elsewhere and. Now in other words theres all these possibilities floating around zelinsky saying not to jump to conclusions hes absolutely right but on the other hand its inevitable everybody is trying to spin this because were in the middle of a basically a war situation where everybodys trying to get advantage trying to control the narrative. So when i ask you a bit more about the role of the the media in situations like this everyones looking for somebody to provide answers in this case around who would seem to be leading an investigation often what happens though you get news outlets major ones saying we have information is pretty clearly come from a government source usually the u. S. Or western government they wont divulge who told them that but they say our sources official sources tell tell us its this they put out this mantra and a lot of people believe it gets repeated by other governments and other News Organizations now it might all well be true but how dangerous is it to take on faith government based information bearing in mind lets be honest u. S. Government its proven theyve lied in the past about the major events can they be trusted all the time like this. Well i think what sports legitimate for any News Organization to do is say well disses what weve been told but you dont have to take it as gospel that theyre not i mean when an Intelligence Service tells you something its because they want you to think something it may be true and it may not be true and theyre all mislead saying this is what weve been told by him or 6 whoever it is we should necessarily take that as gospel the Intelligence Services of their to law they dont spend most of their time finding out information a lot of what they do is spreading disinflation by the Integrity Initiative socalled organization here in brigade 77 run by the british army they spend all day sitting on the internet and making phone calls to spread disinformation this is what professional journalists are up against now that doesnt mean that so that we cant we dont take information from those sources we can take information from wherever we like for the good of subject to critical scrutiny and of course the story is then spinning the story this is basically possibly just an accident except the thoughts make the 4th possibility earlier its a boeing plane and several of the crash already in recent years it may just be an accident that just happened to happen in the middle of this this exchange of fire. But information is obviously being manipulated by the Intelligence Services in the west and the particularly the you know that they are trying to get out of the mess they got themselves into a boss us noting solomonic. Hopefully its going to lead to some changes for the best of the people in the least but at the moment its its very dangerous and any mistake by anybody could lead to a conflagration martin thank you time in the presence of this martin summers my guess is. The u. S. House of representatives has passed a resolution aimed at limiting President Trumps ability to use military force against iran however the bill may not pass the Republican Controlled Senate the white house has condemned the bill as an obstacle to preventing terrorism in the modern explains. Trump is imposing new sanctions on the Islamic Republic of iran saying that they will stay in place until americas bidding is done theyre losing a tremendous amount they getting hurt very badly by the sanctions can in very quickly but as to whether or not they want thats up to them not up to me its totally up to them its classic trump said an ultimatum and wait for surrender but its a little bit risky given that its a ron which has boasted that its latest attacks on u. S. Bases are just a hint of its retaliatory capabilities however its a different kind of retaliation thats facing trump at the moment the trumpet ministration is now on the defensive about their decision to kill iran stop general qassam sallah money without congressional approval their excuse they say qassam solomonic he was planning to carry out new attacks against america and swift action was absolutely necessary. Was actively planning new attacks and here is looking very seriously at our embassies and not just the embassy in baghdad but we stopped him and we stopped him quickly and we stopped him. There is no doubt that there were a series of imminent attacks that were being plotted by qassam so the money we dont know precisely when and we dont know precisely where but it was real however members of congress both democrats and republicans who saw the classified intelligence briefing say that the information in the report to back up those claims is wanting his the unclassified version of what trump sent congress after the hits on some the money from all weve seen including the redacted parts here and the briefing the facts do not show an imminent threat they are just avoid the nation. So little money for claiming that he was planning imminent attacks and yet they produce no evidence that were just avoid this claim not even in a classified setting i wanted to hear the intel. 1st what i hear was less than satisfying i can tell you as a United States senator coming out of a classified briefing they did not show us that they were dealing with an imminent threat i saw no evidence of that whatsoever that was insulting that was demeaning to the process ordained by the constitution and i find it completely unacceptable the white house says it is not obligated to share all the information with members of congress and that doing so might me risky mike pence says that at this Point Congress shouldnt expect anything further and they should trust the president when it comes to intelligence we have to protect sources and methods and so theres only a certain amount that we can share with every member of congress i can assure that those of us that have seen all the evidence that saw the evidence in real time know that President Trump made the right decision and now this isnt the 1st time that the house and senate have been left in the dark claims about russia hacking the d. N. C. Or china spying on the whole world and followed roughly the same playbook there doesnt seem to be any real evidence that iran was planning to attack america that friend in washington d. C. Seems to be that the executive branch is out on its own collecting information and engaging in military Actions Congress is just supposed to take their word for it and trust them and while that may be the steady trend for decades it seems like in the year a 2020 elected representatives from both parties are now saying theyre not ok with it i think there is a lot of. American public. Concern about the assassination and the fact that it pulls young people think that it made americans less safe and so what was the point and i dont think people are buying trumps explanation that he gave that it was because of an imminent attack on the u. S. Embassy. You know and i mean i think i think its not. You cant close the door on the house and the senate will also narrowly support the war powers resolution. The iraqi Prime Minister is asked the u. S. Secretary of state to decide the mechanism for withdrawing troops from iraq the demand was made following the killing of irans top general in a us drone strike last week that assassinations just one of the issues discussed by ots Afshin Rattansi and the Iranian Ambassador to the United Nations office the geneva you can watch the interview in full in the latest episode of going underground saturday heres a preview. By that i thought initially United States has already served pursed the reclines distinguished from better bury them from. The rules of engagement ok but will there be any more revenge now from iran for the trump assassination of. This is the beginning of a very are i guess exciting episode. It was a wake up call for the people in the region and beyond. This was. An action an act of selfdefense by an armed forces against us but are they told you or i think this is the beginning of a i hope not too long process that the people of our region would be get rid of. The american presence in the region because their prisons in our region has brought nothing except our misery war and hatred.

Joined me everything on the all excitement show and ill be speaking to guess the world the politics sports business im show business ill see that. Trump is a new yorker and you know he looks at the global picture and he sees the tension in the middle east he sees iran doing a dance with there and then the neighbors and theres like you know what lets just cut to the chase this is take out a guy in iraq and were going to get more money printing right away because i want to make my yacht payment this weekend why fuss around this is the new york way of doing things i said it when he 1st got elected its like having a new yorker in the white house and having in new york around the world im a new yorker you know i got tell you i want to. God. Large sections of the french population adjoining what has become the longest transport workers strike for decades called over unpopular pension reforms. But weve already seen tear gas deployed on several occasions by the police as they were trying to control the crowd seem paris and the crowds are huge just want to get you to go up and get a sense of looking down the street to seclude to Mission Tents and pushing much all the way down to our last of the publique it is chock a block with people people whove come out to support the strike and it still looks like its getting huge amount to support in terms of have the strike is going there is more public transport that is operational at the moment in paris we see in a trains operating fairly normally metros operating fairly normally in the mornings and in the evenings ive been doing that the large part of the day little is operating apart from the automated lines thats 1. 40 now in terms of the general support for this strike the polls in france show that most people are still supporting the strike people very unhappy from across the board about these changes to the Pension System to the reforms that the government wants to make it wants to put 42 different Pension Systems that.
