a collision course with the a human rights week but the issue of. these are people particularly when it if they could start applying it to people have already been convicted already been sentenced already so part of the sentence then it's unfair and potentially a breach of human rights potentially unlawful don't forget they violated people's human rights to being there in the 1st place. either thanks for joining us this is r.t. . a civilian airliner carrying 172 passengers is being forced to make an emergency landing at. an israeli air raid on a damascus suburb put the plane in danger defense ministry denounced israel for using civilian aircraft as a shield. only due to the time the actions of damascus airport dispatches and efficient operation of the automated traffic control system did the airbus a 320 manage to successfully land the closest alternative if eld russia's base i was on the streets when the attack happened here in damascus at about 1 12 am local time here on thursday on the sex of this month at about $115.00 local time a loud explosion was heard and that was the syrian air defenses. trying to repel what it looked like an israeli attack and then later on the syrian army command issued a statement clarifying what happened saying that israeli fighter jets carried out attacks from over southern lebanon on the occupied golan heights against various syrian army military targets in damascus around damascus damascus countryside and also peninsula and which is in that are countryside and the result according to the syrian army was the injury of 8 syrian soldiers and the russian ministry of defense statement which also gave some information important details that there were 4 actually israeli fighter jets who fired at least 8 missiles on various targets in syria at that time and that israel is using civilian and passenger aircraft in order to avoid being hit by the syrian air defense systems combat operations by the israeli joint stuff involving the use of civilian aircraft to shield and prevent retaliation by syrian air defenses is becoming a distinguishing feature of the israeli air force this is a very important point especially that russia made it clear that this is not the 1st time that this happens it happened in 2018 when also russia criticized israel for endangering and putting in danger to passenger aircraft in 2018 of course 2008. the israeli strikes not coordinated with russia caused the downing of irrational aircraft with 15 russians on board who were killed were said that time also. said that israel is behind did this incident put the 4th one as well because at the end of the day it's really a fighter jets put actually the russian aircraft in the path of the syrian air defense. systems this well previously denied using aircraft as shields against syrian defense systems though it hasn't yet commented on this particular incident it also acknowledges it's carrying out strikes in syria to stop iranian military entrenchment reached out to these are defense forces for comment we still await their response. coming up here captures the aftermath of the missile attacks that hit a suburb in the countryside west of damascus on thursday you can see residents clearing rubble from the streets cars buildings they've been completely destroyed we spoke to people living in the area. we woke in the morning to find this look at this destruction may go take revenge from them look at this people's livelihood is destroyed as you can see yesterday the area was targeted by israel this area has a lot of car hire companies and as you can see many cars were damaged thank god the damage was only material. i'm joined now by aviation security expert and broadcaster julian bray welcome julian in this incidence when you're talking about a passenger plane finding itself potentially in the line of fire potentially in danger is this a special procedure for the pilots of allah. yes so. what if he's if he's a conflict zone and there are many around the world and if you fly on a long haul flight from say london heathrow to australia you'll probably fly over least 5 of them the problem here of course this is a relatively local flight and they aircraft had to land at a specific airport and the problem here is that pilots are well aware of the conflict going on around them and sometimes they have to actually go through these areas so they do rely on air traffic control and other aircraft in the area to warn them of what's happening. to hear that the aircraft themselves are being used as shields but frankly it will be a military tactic and any trained military pilot would probably try to best advantage but that is saif if all aircraft did avoid conflict zones then i'm afraid your journeys would take a lot longer and the fail would be a lot higher. how dangerous do you think this incident could have been what kind of dangers are we talking about. i'm not too sure of the separation distance but it seems that air traffic control had all the road of the day across the track and so they are able to give adequate warning and so the aircraft could actually say. well it could be vectored away from the actual conflict itself the problem here of course is civilian aircraft are not equipped with any sort of defense mechanisms like sort of anti missile chaff systems decoys systems and we don't really want that to happen because then you merge the lines between military and civilian and so that does make them a legitimate target but quite clear this was not a military target and the military should take all efforts to avoid such charges how would you says the actions of the pilot in this case i would say of the pilot he knows the area well i think he is well versed in voiding this type of situation and is probably not the 1st time that seaside to take such action so i say well done pilot well done crew and well done passengers because it doesn't seem to be any reaction from on board in fact probably some passages are just resigned to that much appreciated julian thanks for your insights my guest aviation expert broadcaster julian brain. let's stay in the region where the syrian government offensive against militant forces in egypt province is making progress but the u.n. security council has seen heated debate over the operation with the syrian envoy slamming western countries for supporting terrorist groups the u.s. representative hit back claiming syria and russia are endorsing destruction. the situation in northwest syria demands an immediate comprehensible and verifiable ceasefire with whom do you want to hold the ceasefire with the entities that you agree to designate as terrorist groups in this council it is astonishing the desire of some western countries to cause terrorist groups in it live as the moderate opposition is the russian bombs that have destroyed searing hospitals and driven syrian children from their homes we're hearing all of this criticism against russia but none of it is based on anything the sheer scale of destruction both endorsed and facilitated by russia shows that neither they nor iran nor the assad regime can be trusted to deliver a cease fire it will be syrian territory and any illegitimate military presence there is the responsibility of the state where those nationals come from. the syrian ambassador the other the security council seems to be transforming into a nato forum which undermines its credibility on the scale of war but experts. quite strong disagreements were articulated between the countries represented at the 15 member body that leads the united nations now when the representative of the united states spoke she had harsh words for both russia and syria accusing them of inappropriate and basically unacceptable actions in their efforts to retake the province of live from terrorist forces the trumpet ministration condemns in the strongest possible terms the assad regime iran hezbollah and russia as barbaric an unjustified military offensive the russian representative spoke about how it seemed like the meeting was convened for the purpose of preventing the syrian arab republic from retaking the providence of live from the terrorists it seems like the meeting was almost scheduled at a range to try and impede the syrian government's efforts this is what the russian ambassador to ben ziad to say these unplanned meets and syria flew a common pattern convene precisely when terrorist groups in the country are under threat and the syrian government is regaining control of its own territory i would like to remind you that these groups are recognized as terrorists by the security council syria has a right and it to combine terrorists on its sovereign turn a tree now the representative of the syrian arab republic spoke about the need for his country's territorial integrity to be respected as it is being widely violated with foreign forces in the country who were not invited by the internationally recognized syrian government which is a u.n. member state furthermore you seem to believe that essentially the u.n. security council has been transformed almost into something else you will heard the intervention of the u.s. permanent representative when she said that he is a nato ally so this is not a security council but rather a council that she's being used as a nato forum it is an acceptable threat to say inside this house that the united. states of america pretext to keep going as far as nations of the chalks are an international move my dedication reiterates that attempts by countries to impose names whose agenda on the security council would among the credibility of this council and refutes all the pretext used by some to demonize the syrian states russia recently renewed its offensive against the terrorist forces in it live it is supporting efforts to take back the city from terrorists and jihad is forces now one particular group the yacht terrier al shaab and this is a terrorist group that is widely known around the world for its atrocities for example there are over $1400.00 attacks with tanks machine guns that have been heavy weaponry that have taken place recently in addition they have been countering civilian protest and ad lib against their ongoing presence in the presence of other militants there have been attacks on humanitarian corridors which is a violation of international law in addition they have been using civilians as human shield syrian representative when speaking emphasize that their territorial integrity was being very very widely violated and emphasized that they were determined to defeat the terrorist forces and that it seemed like the united states and nato were essentially trying to undermine their efforts and prevent them from defeating these terrorist forces and retaking their province of live. in this mike rather things western powers and interested in ending the conflict in syria. well this goes way beyond the concept of one man's terrorist that are it's another man's freedom fighter winnowed down to the black and white of who the west has been supporting all the way through this crisis in syria has been al-qaeda affiliates all the time of all the way the same with turkey the same with the u.k. the same with israel so it just seems that they have no more cards to play we can only imagine what would have happened had russian a russian delegation to the u.n. or iranian or syrian said something along the lines of we need to stop targeting isis the west the u.k. and the u.s. and france want to prolong this conflict this is exactly what they want to do whatever tempting al qaeda affiliates it sounds insane doesn't it but that's exactly what's going on there we were there appealing to the united nations in order to protect our affiliates you couldn't really make this stuff up but that's exactly what's going on. austen cyclists the fundamental has admitted working with a german doctor facing doping allegations concerning more than 20 fleets correspondent peter oliver has a story. doping in sports is at its most fundamental cheating some cheat to win gold medals for others like austrian cyclist stefan to nicole he was trying to keep his career following a serious injury although for him it resulted in a 4 year ban i'm not a criminal i wouldn't have got a contract without doping of that sentiment was repeated by cross country skiing yohannes do or who received a lifetime ban for blood doping as i see it you can't be at the top without doping both of these disgraced sports men were patients of the noun the tory is german dr march mit he ran an elaborate criminal ring providing performance enhancing drugs to 23 athletes in 8 countries his motivation was a different kind of gold money but schmidt's operation came crashing down last year during police raids that were part of operation adolescence bloodletting in english whistleblowers lead to several athletes being caught made blood transfusion the cocktail of illegal supplements they were putting into themselves cost thousands of euro a bike the elaborate process even involves schmidt transporting his supplies and a specially designed refrigeration unit he could wear business with his clients was dealt with often via text message i'm coming i'm the guy with the cooling box we forgot to speak about the name triple x. in 2 weeks i should be ready the investigation is still ongoing and a lot of information is yet to come to light in fact 5 of the athletes thought to be under scrutiny as part of operation are the less remain anonymous with suggestions they could still be competing while the bloodletting investigation has claimed some big scalps it's clear the lid has barely been lifted on what's. seems to be a much larger problem beneath doping is so ingrained into the culture of sport it's a culture of winning and making money that we can never ever get rid of it's all we can do is do our best to say to educate young people say look do you want to die early do you want to have mental it's a go to you would have problems then. it's just impossible to get rid of because there's so much money involved unfortunately money is winning out because a lot of very very high right got needs who are not be noted however we see some target your retirement study would definitely type things to this operation look at all these people involved in sports teams not the players the coaches the doctors to facilitators they're still allowed to weigh in sports and sadly their usual ask people to get a dog and maybe did maybe dan we can restore a maybe some big gray try to get rid of doping in sport put the question is perfectly put played that why you know us get the doctors in jail because they know where all the bodies are buried and they will be a loss was called every single time. the delays in care surrounding the counting process box democratic nominee elections in iowa might lead to a complete recount up about with details after this break. seems wrong. just don't all. get to shape out this day. and engage. the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. i walk through the streets of moscow now drew blood 100 people i was down would have the changes of leukemia luggage don't have leukemia because in order for them that leukemia they need the d.n.a. changes but they also need an environment that's receptive and one of the biggest areas of growth medicine in the future is be targeting. changing so the cancer doesn't want to. come back some of britain's 1st move since leaving the e.u. are causing a stir the government says it wants to end automatic early release from prison of terror of and this that after sunday's attack in london let's see people was stabbed by a man released from prison just 10 days earlier currently convicted terrorists are up for automatic release after serving hoff the sentence but britain's proposed legislation could breach the european convention on human rights so it may suspend participation in the convention however the european commission wants. and judicial cooperation. the resist partnership should provide for automatic terminations of law enforcement cooperation and judicial cooperation in criminal matters if the united kingdom were to denounce the european convention of human rights we put this year for debate to stephen morris of the english democrats party and human rights lawyer sure can. it's a good idea to have a parole board that deals with each case individually in principle there's nothing wrong with that but if what the reports are suggesting are correct that mainly they want to change the potential released release date from a half of a sentence to 2 thirds and i think that's where the problem comes in well one of the things is a sentence in rules are completely to pot them and if somebody gets given a sentence 5 years then the surf i've years that should be let out early anyway then when the then you look at the parole and the suitable for release that this is a very very serious and complicated situation that calls for nuanced. periods of debate argument consideration not something that the government rushes through in a matter of weeks is a kneejerk reaction well it has to be at the moment because the government over the last few years of an absolutely nothing to address this problem and we do know that there is a number of potential of people in prison the moment. issues that are about to be released but these are people particularly when it if they're going to start applying it to people who are already been convicted already been sentenced already part of their sentence then it's unfair and potentially a breach of human rights potentially unlawful don't forget they violated people human rights to being there in the 1st place if they're still deemed as a safety risk than they should be let out in a way because. who is likely to attack all the people is a violation of those pedestrians and those individuals human rights as well in terms of what's been suggested about you know we just keep them up until we sure that there won't be a risk any more than we have sentences in the 1st place to me they should have been stripped away 5 years if they say 5 to 5 years and release them if the state has to be drawn quickly and it has to be told to make sure that london and all the parts of the u.k. safe. there are fears of further complications in the botched democratic party nominee elections in the us state of iowa after days of delay with almost all the votes counted pete by the judge bernie sanders are practically neck and neck following scandals over the counting the party's chair is calling for a complete review of voting. enough is enough in light of the problems that have emerged in the implementation of the delegate selection plan and in order to assure public confidence in the results i am calling on the iowa democratic party to immediately begin to recant this we won an 8 person. election by some 6000 votes that is not going to be changed the party apologize for mistakes in the mobile app submitting precinct results the tally was also marred by chaos in the reporting process inaccurate calculations unexplained inconsistencies and missing data the failure to properly validate votes combined with calls for a recount has caused widespread anger. the democratic national committee is the one pushing for a recount of us right now people in the d.n.c. are also considering bringing back superdelegates for the explicit purpose of stopping sunday's when you're a canvas and find that bernie sanders says the winner are you in the d.n.c. going to get out of the way so we can have a fair primary process one of flipping mess as democratic national party chairman calls for an immediate recount thus they would carry on until they get the result that corrupt dems want pres is participating in increasing the confusion by asking for even more review even more time to pass between the time the voters voted and the results that they see this is a way of disconnecting voters from the results that they expected when they participated in those caucuses in those neighborhoods in the high school gyms they all remember the 1st night how it went for they are and they all talk to each other to see if they can get a read on how it was going to go statewide and now days and days are passing and tom perez is about to demand more and more days passed my opinion bernie sanders was leading in the polls which is why the des moines register for the 1st time ever didn't publish their sunday poll right before the caucuses so they do not want bernie sanders as their candidate. meanwhile the iowa caucus at the glitch prompted one particular congresswoman see results a tactic familiar from previous elections suggesting they move that russians are responsible takes a closer look. the u.s. democratic party has a new policy maker hollywood when a movie franchise starts to lose its audience when people stop buying tickets film studios play the trump card reviving the villain. well us democrats need a potent anti trump card out of this year's election so how about hollywood's golden rule bring back the bad guy i know president putin and he knows i know him and he knows me. he knows that there will be similar consequences if he gauges engages in trying to interfere with our election democrats ever so cocky about their imminent victory back in 2016 had to swallow one very bitter and very you merely pill and since then many believe they've been trying to recover their identity over the past 4 years the democrats' ideology has been heavily dominated by a 3 word concept russia is bad that breaking news russian hackers tried to hack wisconsin's alexion system russia's hacked into a lot of things russian hackers the kremlin claire and it certainly looks like they're again and with an eye towards helping this president and they've put all their trust into this russia strategy thinking it would become kryptonite for all their troubles and political rivals but the mineral investigation turned out to be the bang of a toy gun rather than a nuclear blast but by that point too many people hoped and believed in the reality of impeachment the promise to remove trump from power was too big to renege on but as the view is got weary of the main antagonist russia the democrats had to come up with a fresh spin we can't impeachment proceedings now against this president we have confidence in our case that isn't peter paul and this president is impeached for life if you find him guilty. you must find that he should be removed the brave face sharod ultimately fell through when the whole impeachment saga saw 0 plot twists and it in the most predictable and boring way no one had allusions that the president would be convicted but we made the fight for truth that we made to fight for facts and then came the iowa caucus disaster a glitching our caused improper recording of the results failed transmissions of tally then botched the count all together and again there's been absolutely no indication that the democrats have tried looking into how they managed to sink so deep they've resorted to the tried and for some reason trust to rush a formula i hope that the i were democrats will ask for an f.b.i. investigation in the am i believe that russia has been engaged in interfering with a number of our elections dealing with the 21 election i'm sorry the 26th election and so the democrats rubber us like politics once again has them biting their own tail and i've been invited to date
