Hello there just call me day here in moscow the latest developments in a look back at whats been happening over the last 7 days to you watching the week here on r. T. International now the u. S. President donald trump called off a strike on iran just 10 minutes before you to be launched since said hes neither a warmonger nor a dove but a man with common sense and he doesnt want to kill anybody unless its absolutely necessary. One thing i want to know and i want to know it accurately is accurately. How many. Will die i dont want to kill on the radio. I have friends. Many friends i dont want to kill hogger. Or anybody. But the sad movie this is. The constant attack was meant to be in retaliation for the terrans timing of a u. S. Military surveillance drone over the gulf region the strait of hormuz iran said though it was ready to add to its collection of down drones if washington violates space with his caliber. 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 was loose and stupid our iran is 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 u. S. 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 waters will 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 id like to say straight away that a military conflict between the us 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 and toward iran has been rather consistent this is how the United States has approached iran during the trumpet ministration their neighbors are spread instability or terror everywhere we go in the middle east its a rare. Major destabilizing in influence in the middle east to spread death destruction and what weve been trying to do is to get iran to behave like a normal nation 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 rejected those accusations outright and said that it was actually their ships that were on 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. Art see new york what is the blame game increases then washington is also ramping up its economic pressure on saran with new sanctions to hit the Islamic Republic from monday also osp a pool in new york if they would support a war against iran. 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 thing is another way. To solve problems and 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 true of a terrorist attack on you know innocent people you know Something Like 911. 00 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 with. 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. But a Senior IranianNational Security official alisha county tell us the iran has never attacked anybody but is ready to retaliate. All have rules. You can find our troops 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. Some members of the venezuelan opposition have been implicated in a Corruption Scandal the documents appear to reveal that officials from by and by Days Movement have been embezzling aid funds for their personal use the money was intended for soldiers who defected and fled to neighboring colombia. Humanitarian aid it is more a humanitarian robbery that 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 for thousands of dollars raised from an aid concert on the colombian border were apparently spent on hotels prostitutes and also luxury goods by 2 members of quite a party they were in charge of overseeing the humanitarian aid is out is murder gas the have now reports. Sex drugs and rocknroll arent something youd associate with a humanitarian aid concert wrongly that 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 them to sway those that people 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 skeptical on beer 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 of dorothy. The people who did this bear in mind were appointed by why 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 or medicine thats 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 thats a complete failure for 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 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 resurging russians to continue visiting her country with tbilisi insisting it is safe for tourists and foreign journalists thats after 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 protest so far 240. 00 people have been injured in the demonstrations including 18 Police Officers and a producer at arties ruptly agency. Was. The. The. I i. Just not could look at dog the situation got very heated there was suppressed spite and then the crowd geared up for another storm stone sticks and bottles were thrown from the side of the crowd a special forces fired rubber bullets into mccloy the tear gas. Protests erupted after russian m. P. Sergei gafford a loaf sat in the chair of the Georgian Parliament speaker this happened during the opening session the opening of a session of a multilateral Parliamentary Assembly meant to promote orthodox christianity the georgian opposition prevented then paper from taking to the podium afterwards we talked again for 2 of who wished he told us radicals are attempting to disrupt already complicated russia georgia relations but 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 and 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 but it is the it was earlier the georgian president blamed the russian official for what happened saying that the protests benefit nobody but the kremlin she cut short to a visit to better a certain home chained to the antique of the. Rally the kremlin responded to the accusations or risk of provocation thats how moscow described the 2 days of large scale demonstrations in the georgian capital protesters are now demanding that the government resigns and another rally is expected on sunday too we spoke earlier to the former acting president of georgia nino because you know she believes the government in tbilisi has been fermenting anti russian sentiment. Broad generalisations are really very difficult and sensitive issue for your us aside and most of the population now receive the same message the russian m. P. In the chair of the idea and speaker is this something which is just creating a problem for what stability of the current 3 or something which is they just touching independence and so for a good deal of that country and it was easy to predict from the side of the government had absolutely unbelievable how im competent and the government and. Absolutely sure full nervously it for me the government did not being fully implemented or crushing georgian relations during the last few years so there was no any kind of positive in this the direction 2 the Political Parties who are calling them as well as themselves as a pro western and right and right now 2 years is based. On how to say sincere premiums that people in their Political Goals and to are just strengths in these 2 russian really exist in a serious part of the georgian population back to only one of her girl could be blamed for the east and shouldnt be absent and what will be a responsible place this is the government and stupidity of this government. So to come on the way to the u. K. Exam sales to saudi arabia will come under review after an Appeals Court decides with pace campaigners against the government well have a look at that shortly and more to tell. You. Some time old shows were like a honeypot. Everyone believe that it was all unstable and unreliable and russia but they thought that everyone was great over their russian businessmen who wanted a business in the worst because they feared some could take everything away from them in russia thats now its the opposite dave business is outside of russia was snatched ballesteros frozen all blog now the student whine about. It. Though again now british arms sales to 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 i demanding a review well heres what the opponents of the arms sales to the kingdom had to say right after the verdict. 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 grant licenses those decisions are a little full and they have to go back and reconsider the courts decision there might affect the case largest defense contract to be a systems is riyad does represent a significant part of the groups annual earnings since the saudi led bombardment began in 2015 the u. K. His 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 conflicts yemen is on the brink of collapse. Well since the beginning of the operation the saudi government has been insisting it is fighting the heathy rebels only without 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 says it is time the government changed. At a time when most of british attention is focused inevitably on braggs it its really important that we do look at the issues such as those 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 that to change and that is more likely to succeed perhaps than the legal challenge.
