To get any thanks for joining us this is r. T. International. Donald trump says that he called off a strike on iran with just 10 minutes to go it comes amid escalating tensions between washington and tehran Gillet Morgan has details. 3 locations in iran were selected for a u. S. Military strike according to what donald trump put on social media and 10 minutes prior to when a strike would have taken place donald trump determined that 150. 00 people being killed as was the estimate was a disproportionate response to this striking down of a single on man drone so donald trump decided alternately not to go ahead with the attack against iran now the unmanned drone he was referring to was the u. S. Drone that was shot down over the strait of hormuz now iran says that this drone violated their territory in the south of the country and that it was in their waters when it was shot down the United States maintains however that the drone was in International Waters and was unprovoked attack by the iranians at this point weve got donald trump saying that he essentially called off a strike now prior to Donald Trumps announcement we did see him speak to the media in the aftermath of the drone being shot down saying that iran had made a big mistake this is what trump said to the media made a big mistake and made a very bad mistake. You for and. Youll find out youll find. Youre obviously obviously you know were not going to be talking too much about it youre going to find out they made a very big mistake now tensions between the United States and iran have been rising over the past few months in addition to the United States states withdrawing from the Iran Nuclear Deal a 1000. 00 new u. S. Troops were added to the middle east region in response to a supposed threat from iran furthermore the United States has blamed iran for attacks on oil tankers that took place on june 13th now iran says they are not responsible for those attacks and have evidence to prove it now at this point weve got many observers looking and saying that the way u. S. Officials. Have spoken and conducted themselves regarding iran especially since the trumpet ministration has taken office lets review some of what Trump Administration officials have said in regards to the Islamic Republic their neighbors are spread ability everywhere we go in the middle east its a real. Major destabilizing in influence in the middle east spread death destruction and chaos the leaders of iran are record piers the Worlds Largest financing of International Terrorism behind every problem is a ring and what weve been trying to do is to get iran to behave like a normal nation the United States is calling for a u. N. Security Council Meeting to take place on monday the United States maintains that this drone was shot down in International Waters and that this was essentially an attack on the United States iran says it has records of the drone and can prove that not only did the drone violate irans territory in the south of the country but that it was shot down in irans territorial waters so at this point forces around the world are watching to see what happens next different interpretations of world events the u. S. A saying one thing iran saying another thing all eyes on the International Community and on the United NationsSecurity Council in the hopes that things can be resolved. Political science professor at the university of tehran downstream intended to attack. I think the fact that the uranium is were able to shoot down one of the most advanced aircraft out of the us air force has been very humiliating for the image of the u. S. Military as well as for donald trump himself who likes to project an image of a strong arm leader and i think donald trump is trying to rebuild that image essentially by saying that you know we get hit the uranium very hard but we decided not to do so because of socalled humanitarian reasons in reality i think that prompted ministration understand that any such strikes would be actually responded by the rain as well in this would lead essentially into war. From the fact that this strong whether it was shot down over International Waters or iranian waters regardless of that we have to remember that this was a spy or a surveillance drone and im pretty sure it wasnt taking pictures of the fish in the persian gulf it was taking pictures of your union troops in the navy so what the americans are doing is essential to the or provokingly right and i think this is very dangerous thank you for. The speaker of the jordan parliaments resigned after mass protests in the capital the Russian Foreign ministry accuses georgias radical opposition of using the visit of a russian delegation to provoke protests 240. 00 people have been injured including 8 to Police Officers georgias interior ministry labeled the unrest a massive cook reported more than 300 people detained wife may find the following pictures disturbing. Was wasnt it. The. I. Was not going to the situation got very heated there was rest bite and then the crowd geared up for another storm stone sticks and bottles were thrown from the side of the crowd special forces fired rubber bullets and deployed tear gas. As dawn broke on friday police appeared to be in full control of the city center the opposition has announced a new round of protests on friday night they saw an attempt to storm the Parliament Building a nest of 85000. 00 demonstrators rallied against the participation of a russian delegation in a Parliamentary Assembly or of the russian lawmakers sat in the georgian speakers chair for their anchoring protesters were not ortiz of called on the demonstrates to refrain from breaking the.

Protesters are now demanding the interior minister resigns even to said he is ready to do so if needed but called on the protests to stop the former acting president of georgia you know burjanadze told as the government in tbilisi is been fomenting and t. V. Russia sentiment. Theyre rushing toward generalisations are really very difficult and sensitive for us aside and most of the population now receive the same message the russian m. P. In that year of 2 i. G. N. Speaker is this something which is just creating a problem what stability of the country or something which is there just touching independence and so heredity of that country and it was easy to predict from the side of the government had absolutely unbelievable how and competence is the government and its absolutely sure. For me that the government did nothing for the improvement of crushing georgian relations during the last few years so there was no any kind of positive in this the direction of political parties. Themselves as a pro western right now to us and these. Are hard to say sincere bring us a people in their Political Goals and to just strengthen these 2 russian really exist. Now back to only one could be blamed for are they nice and shouldnt be absent and be irresponsible. Government and stupidity of this government. European Commission Leaders of. The reins of the blocks top positions of the june 30th its now been announced in another time to break the deadlock the Commission PresidentCouncil President and 4 of the top jobs have been chosen by no to all of our expense. Well this deadlock in the European Union over who will fail a number of the e. U. Institutions top jobs including the european Commission President and president of the European Council those jobs currently held by john claude younker and donald at the moment and theyve been heading up talks to try and pick their replacements essentially however those talks have broken down one of the reasons that were hearing that theres no solution so far wealth comes from leo varadkar the irish Prime Minister he said that it was easier picking a pope than using the system thats used in the e. U. To pick a Commission President as well as other Top Institution posts its called the spits and candidate method method or system basically preferred candidate in germany is what it is it means that if you look at all of the different parliamentary groups in the European Parliament whoever gets the most seats well there spits in candidate their preferred candidate gets looked at 1st by the e. U. Heads of government if they like that candidate well they put them forward to majority votes for them they put them forward to the European Parliament parliament then votes on them and if they vote them through they become the next european Commission President if they dont the whole system starts right over again with whoever came in 2nd as we understand it well so far the heads of government werent that impressed with munford verba who is the candidate from the p. P. Who got the most seats in the most recent european elections and also they werent that keen on france timmermans from the socialists the European Socialist Group who got the 2nd highest amount of seats in the parliament so we really are all up in the air at the moment we are looking at a split though between key power brokers inside the e. U. Over this money were mccrone in france hes not a fan at all of disputes in condit method and on the other side. Merkel the german chancellor who wants to essentially see her man put into play as the next european Commission President now money with. What hes being while hes been speaking out against the system thats in play at the moment hes also said the hard angle of merkel throwing her hat into the ring he would have been inclined to vote for her i have nothing against a german candidacy i said it and wasnt a joke had the chancellor been a candidate i would have supported her because i think she has the qualities the skills to be a very good president of the commission it is not what she wants i respect that very deeply well im glad merkel has dismissed 80 chance of her running to be the european Commission President she was speaking on friday she also tried to calm down rumors that baena a serious rift between bolin and paris over who should get the European Commission top job. And i still say no and i want to add that im a little bit sad that my words which accent so often and apparently not respected at all respect each other i do not want to make a decision against france and i believe that france doesnt want to make a decision against germany of the very latest it does seem that money isnt getting the amount of votes it meets from heads of government to be put forward as the next president of the European Commission that hasnt stopped the german chancellor though for saying that she still bucks her mom in repeat what i said and to avoid any unnecessary questions we stand by our lead candidate the p. P. Candidate Manfred Weber other stand by their lead candidate obviously those are quite tired looking young who address the press after this meeting broke down hes searching for his own replacement however he did allow a joke his own expense because i know where the satisfaction museum and yes pleasure that it seems is not easy. To replacement. So with no decision from the heads of government of the states over who they want to see appointed as the next european Commission President theyre all going to have to come back again next week on the 30th of june for another round of talks in the go ca sions to try and hammer out a solution. 17 year old Scottish Student claims that he was kicked out of class after saying that there are only 2 genders he secretly filmed the teacher telling him off i think its silly to have anything other than tutoring or share that anything he says is a crucial these keep that opinion to your own house thank you not until you get to europe and you know why what i am not my money and how sustained i walk which in my opinion and not getting my upbringing you know. National School Authority policy was trying to watch well you. Know every policy is scientific so you know what you think and i know what that authority thinks i know what the Authorities Point if you want to say very clear very clear that we make no discrimination on the grounds of videos making discrimination action pushing their 2 genders male and female and if they also as a personal identification local Authorities Say the video does not show the full context of that exchange. Council did that it could relations between different groups and schools quotes an inclusive environment for lets discuss this subject now with human rights or speech tatchell our political commentator andre walker given to you both gentlemen peter 1st of all the student who we heard there expressing his his views on this subject should he have that right to say what he thinks. Absolutely every pupil has a right to speak in class and to challenge a teacher a teacher has a right to respond and i think the only circumstances in which a pupil should be asked to leave a class is if theyre being disruptive or abusive i think from what weve seen obviously the people was was fairly challenging but i think thats within the bounds of reasonable debate and i think the teachers are actually quite stern and dismissive and maybe there was more to the exchange than was in the video but i think its healthy and right that peoples and teachers should have a Robust Exchange of views oh and also just to add to that what do you think of the point that he was making he say scientifically there are just 2 genders. Well there are 2 genders male and female but there are people who have variations of both so for example into 6 people have a combination of both male and female chromosomes hormones and genitalia so it isnt strictly true that there are only male or female. Ok and what did you think at the students attitude while he was saying that what was he being provocative. Well i think peter set the tone for the debate by being quite measured and reasoned so let me just say 1st of all that i think it is wrong and save to video a private discussion between the pupil and the teacher that is deeply unfair to the teacher and it is deeply destructive on the why the point look i think that we are very statist about this out where we are obsessed with the view that you know you have to be a woman born in a mans body or a man born a womans body in order to have any sort of reassignment surgery i disagree with are incredibly strongly i believe that you own your body and it is for you to do with your body what you want so if you wish to have gender reassignment surgery i become a woman daddys legitimates what they told acceptable is when we stop pretending that somebody with male genitalia is in fact a woman and the reason why its a problem certainly in the United Kingdom is weve had problems with with people self declaring themselves to be women when they have male genitalia in things like the Prison Service when actually weve had a number of cases of people whove been convicted of self out of sex crime self defining themselves as women and being transferred to womens prisons and how weve dealt with it in the u. K. Is to create a separate units now lets be absolutely 100 percent clear there are some people who wish to have gender reassignment surgery and that is absolutely right and its absolutely fine for them to do that but they self that they self declaration idea where any body can claim that they are any gender they warms or dread the circumstances actually is open to abuse not by the sort of people that pizza types of associates with the good people the decent people the people who just have a genuine. Its by people that actually are not as wholesome and not as reasonable and not as nice and we didnt find them in places like prisons so my overall message is this i think the teacher was wrong to throw the boy out of the class and i think the boy was wrong to video the exchange however it is a fact that there are basically 2 genders and it is morally wrong that anybody who says that should have any trouble from any public call for it say in the United Kingdom or elsewhere peta would you think the policy should be in schools you
