Well theyre welcome the latest developments and i look back at whats been happening over the last 7 days to watch the weekly here on r. T. International. Now the u. S. President donald trump called off a strike on iran just 10 minutes before his jew to be launched he since said hes neither a warmonger nor does but a man with common sense and he doesnt want to kill anybody unless its absolutely necessary. One thing i want to. Do it. I dont want to. I dont want to go out there. With a constant attack was meant to be in retaliation for terrans downing of a u. S. Military surveillance drone over the gulf region strait of hormuz iran said it was ready to add to its collection of downed drones of washington violates space with more his kind of mopping. In terms of words he seems to have indicated it could have been a human error he pointed out that it could have been a general or some other official who made the mistake of ordering for the drone to be shot down i find it hard to believe it was intentional if you want to know the truth i think that it could have been somebody who is loose and stupid now iran has said that the drone did indeed enter their airspace and violate their territory and that they intend to go to the United Nations in order to prove this they say that it was in the southern part of their country that this drone entered their airspace and that they shot it down for violating their airspace at this point weve got the Iranian Foreign minister condemning the United States for what he calls economic terrorism the us wages economic terrorism on iran has conducted covert action against those and now encroaches on our territory we dont seek war but was jealous lead to fend off sky land and water as well take this new aggression to the u. N. And show you that the u. S. Is lying about International Waters now the u. N. Secretary general antonio gets here as is calling on all parties to remain calm and exercise restraint i strongly hope that. The situation will be contained because as i said and i repeat the world does not really need any measure of confrontation with russian president Vladimir Putin recently said that an attack on iran would be potentially disastrous which id like to say straight away that a military conflict between the u. S. And iran would be a disaster at least for the region it would be an outburst of violence with terrible consequences its very hard to predict what would happen in the case of military force being used now many observers have noted that it seems that the white house is powerless in toward iran has been rather consistent this is how the United States has approached iran during the trumpet ministration of their neighbors are spread instability or terror everywhere we go in the middle east its a rare. Major destabilize. Implodes in the middle east spread death destruction and weve been trying to do is to get the word to be employed globalization. Now the United States recently sent a 1000 new troops to the middle east region in response to a supposed threat from the Islamic Republic of iran now on june 13th when 2 oil tankers were attacked the United States blamed iran for the incident however iranian officials were shocked at those accusations outright and said that it was actually their ships that were on the scene to rescue the sailors who had been hurt and take them for medical assistance so at this point all eyes are on the middle east region all eyes are on the u. N. Where International Bodies will be hearing and taking up this issue and all eyes are on washington as a response from the United States could be very possible. Artsy new york as the blame game increases washington is ramping up the pressure the economic pressure on taran with new sanctions due to hit the Islamic Republic from monday. People in new york if they would support a war against iraq. Can you imagine a situation where it would be you would be in support of a war with iran. It was the last one was another war and then another war then another you know one thing is another way. To. Go about things open assassinations and bombing other people and we knew about it you could prove it i think we need real proof that some type of activity is actually happening where people are losing life losing land where some type of injustice is happening at the hands of iran but at this point i dont really know that thats necessarily a terrorist attack on you know innocent people you know Something Like 911 happens of course the response is this is necessary and immediate. Is war the answer to that maybe not maybe but i still think personally we should find a different solution besides war weve been to many wars a lot of people have died in doesnt seem to make the issues go away a less iran is having violence against the horrors i think the country maybe can resolve his own issues with other countries interference now i can say is i hope nobody gets hurt i hope for world peace of mind and putting the questions that were Senior IranianNational Security official of a sham county told us that tehran has never attacked anybody but is ready to retaliate. Or have rules. You can find out trump statements always different for example statements from yesterday and today he also contradicts white house officials such political matter is devoid of logic and common sense we do not take seriously his threats and contradictory statements but in the end it must be noted that the Islamic Republic of iran is not iraq or afghanistan we are a big state and have strong Popular Support both during the present but also past hardships the Islamic Republic has been Standing Firm and never attacked anyone and will not do that but if we are attacked the aggressor will regret it at the same time we strive for peace and security in our region that is the policy of sanctions and the economic war launched by trump against the iranian people will not yield any results this is a hostile policy that will be defeated as a result. In other news this week members of the venezuelan opposition became implicated in a Corruption Scandal the documents do appear to reveal that officials from wideouts movement have been embezzling aid funds for their own personal use the money was intended for soldiers who defected and fled to neighboring colombia. Humanitarian aid it is more a humanitarian robbery all the money from the famous humanitarian aid fund was stolen of take note washington not only are the opposition liars but they are thieves too who stole thousands of dollars from each other. Thousands of dollars raised from an aid concert on the colombian border were apparently spent on hotels prostitutes and also luxury goods by team members and why days party they were in charge of overseeing the humanitarian aid arties Marie Castillo as more. Sex drugs and rocknroll arent something youd associate with a humanitarian aid concert wrongly it seems colombian authorities themselves a shocked and barrister to what theyve uncovered and to think it all began so innocently we need to try to help those who are not getting medical help help those who are hungry and today hopefully on the back of this concert we can start maybe getting supplies into that to sway those people who are not suffering so much back then the freshly selfproclaimed president of venezuela called in the military to defect join him and top of the corrupt regime. To the armed forces welcome to the right side of history welcome to the soldiers who are today following the constitution welcome hundreds of soldiers did defect some with families some of the small children they scared to colombia they were put in hotels and by mid march it were living in the streets we are desperate we do not want to stay in colombia we want to return to venezuela but not in the current Living Conditions we do not know. How could this happen out of the 7 hotels that the soldiers were staying in all but 2 were being paid for by the un and the colombian government to hotels is all who and why do those representatives had to pay for except they didnt according to the journalists who broke this story why and why do all of this a month ago. When we couldnt allow for any bad managing of money to overshadow what has been a big effort on the part of all venezuelans thats why as soon as we had the information about the Ongoing Investigation we decided to send it straight to every impartial thorazine. The people who did this bear in mind were appointed by do personally and he only chose to speak with the story already Public Knowledge saying transparent investigation is needed also amazingly managing to somehow imply that the venezuelan government does involve culpable complicit and that guy duo doesnt cover up corruption which he kept covered up for at least a month obviously the actual venezuelan government has questions. Its a huge drop in corruption poor to divert money that we could use fall Sick Children instead of being spent on food medicine that has been used to pay for alcohol prostitutes expensive Shopping Trips and Luxury Hotels as do those allies why is his party which promises to cleanse venezuela of corruption and exercise the demons of the old regime why are these people blowing tens of thousands of dollars in aid money on prostitutes drugs and booze and live a concert that Richard Branson has led along with others in the us pro chant of february 22nd 23rd of the complete failure plan why those forces inside of venezuela and colombia have been using the money to enrich themselves for luxury staying in 5 star hotels and therefore theyre really showing what theyre about its about. Power for personal enrichment the Corruption Scandal is just one small part of what the u. S. Is engaging in in this enormous assault a genocidal assault against the people of it well its hundreds of millions its chance of billions of dollars that the u. S. Is stealing in the name of one way though stealing money from the venice well people. Now the president of georgia or is a russians to continue visiting her country with the police insisting it is safe for tourists and foreign journalists staff to moscow temporarily banned direct flights to and from georgia Russias Foreign Ministry alleges that georgias radical opposition is exploiting the visit of a russian delegation to maine to protest so far 240. 00 people have been injured in the demonstrations including 80 Police Officers and to producer at our agency. Was i was sick. I. I. I. I just my thought could have got dog or the situation or is there a heated there was risk right 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 into mccloy the tear gas. Protests erupted after russian m. P. s who have had a lot of sat in the chair of the Georgian Parliament speaker this happened during the opening of a session of a multilateral Parliamentary Assembly meant to promote orthodox christianity georgian opposition then prevented paper from taking to the podium afterwards we talked to mr gavrilov who told us the radicals are attempting to disrupt already complicated russia georgia relations. Well you only see it as a president of the assembly i have the right to take this seat in any country where the Assembly Session is held in this case the place was offered by the georgian side the session was invaded by radicals who shouted threats to our lives we tried to continue but more radical activists showed up with cameras and posters with anti russian insulting slow goods we decided to finish the session in the hotel nearby radicals tried to storm the hotel they attacked members of parliament including me when we tried to leave i believe all of this is the racist styria in the wake of protests to take power. Well earlier the georgian president blame the russian official for what happens during the protest benefit nobody but the kremlin she cut short to a visit to better race to return home jean to the antigovernment rallies and the kremlin responded to those accusations a roof rusa phobic provocation thats how moscow described the 2 days of large scale demonstrations in the georgian capital where protesters and are demanding the government resigns and another rally is expected later on sunday we spoke earlier to former acting president of georgia you know burjanadze she believes the government in tbilisi has been fermenting anti russian sentiment. The rushing to our generations are really very difficult and sensitive issue for you and your society and most of the population now receive the same message the russian m. P. In the chair of joy jan speaker is this something which is just creating a problem for 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 but its absolutely unbelievable how im competent is the government and its absolutely sure from the clear for me that the government did nothing for you problem into operation george and relations during the last few years so there was no any kind of positive in this the direction 2 of Political Parties who are calling them as well as themselves as a pro western and that right now 2 years of these. Are hard to say sincere pretty nice a people in their Political Goals and 2 are just strengths and these 2 russian really exist in a serious part of the georgian population now back to only one per girl could be blamed for the east and shouldnt be absent and what will be a responsible place this is a government and stupidity of this government. The saudi arabia will come under review after the Peoples Court sides with these campaigns against the government well have a look at that in detail parts of the stories to just after this for. Some time all shows were like a tiny part of. Everyone believed that it was all on stable and on the reliable russia but. He thought that everyone was great over there russian businessmen wanted to do business in the west because they feared some could take everything away from them in russia which now is the opposite dave business is outside of russia was snatched less has frozen the old log now the student whine about. Join me every 1st week on the alex im unsure and ill be speaking to us of the world of politics sports business im show business ill see if. My objection to breaks it is not that i like to hear you but it without the mollifying influence of the e. U. The brits are going to be exposed face on head on to people like Boris Johnson and jacob smog who are who are certifiably insane. Welcome back to the weekly now im pretty sure youll see saudi arabia could be on the line after peace campaigners won a legal challenge over the weapons potential use in yemen they claim the lucrative contracts breach International Law and contribute to what the u. N. Calls the worlds worst humanitarian crisis British Appeals Court judges and demanding a review well heres what the opponents of the arms sales to the kingdom had to say right after the. This goes to the very top of the conservative party we now need a judicial review in the whole arms licensing system parliament has been shown to be totally broke we now need a Public Inquiry on this matter the government should not waste time in appealing this judgment the government should fix our system this has been a brutal condemnation of u. K. Foreign policy business been a very strong judgment against it we want to see action from the government the court has done its job its time for the government to do its job the decisions that took in relation to existing license says and make the decisions it took to continue to run licenses those decisions are a little full and they have to go back and reconsider all the courses in then i suspect the u. K. s largest defense contractor be a systems is riyadh does represent a significant part of the groups annual earnings since the saudi led bombardment began in 2015 u. K. Has license 4700000000 pounds worth of weapons britain is the 2nd biggest exporter of arms to the saudis and its the u. K. s Largest Military export contracts with no end in sight to the conflict yemen is on the brink of collapse. However since the beginning of the operation the saudi government has been insisting it is fighting the who 3 rebels only with targeting civilians meanwhile in the face of strong criticism at home conservative Party Ministers have been pains to stress that its not the u. K. Which chooses the targets in yemen a former british politician though we spoke to does say it is time the government changed too. At a time when most of british attention is focused inevitably on braggs it its really important that we do look at 2 the issues such as arms sales and in particular in this special case because so many people are losing their lives in yemen and really its a difficult situation that has to be resolved and its significant that all of the opposition parties not trust the labor party but also the liberal democrats and the scottish nationalists and other smaller parties have agreed really that this is not something that britain ought to be supporting its really only the conservatives who have taken this line of strong support for sales to saudi arabia and so theyre probably will need to be a general election for
