300 detainees packed into a double its 10 meters by 10 meters. There good morning youre watching r. T. International its just gone i to clock in moscow now the u. N. Has sent a team of experts to saudi arabia to investigate last weeks strike in a missile attack on the kingdoms Oil Refineries the u. S. Says its confident iran is to blame advised to impose new sanctions on tehran. At the basis of washingtons claims. It has been decided that iran did it and that started opinion will find it will the result of an investigation its a decision guilty this was an iranian attack we were blessed that there were no americans killed in this attack but any time you have an act of war of this nature theres always a risk. Trub is doing what trump does best signing pieces of paper bringing to bear a slew of new sanctions against iran to come into effect within 48 hours and it isnt done because see what happens well see what happens i think we have a lot of good capital if we have to do something well do it without hesitation the americans who werent attacked of already decided what happened and who is guilty the saudis who were attacked and have all the day bree and bits and pieces of the missiles are still working on technicalities like evidence and proof let that sink in. The attack did not originate from yemen the attack was launched from the move and was unquestioned be sponsored by iran its not in the range of yemens capabilities if it was them who conducted the attack this is one of the missiles we have recovered and we have information that leads us to the source these kind of components were made in iran so what they found is the weapons were allegedly made with iranian components they were fired from the north the direction of iran and its neighbors so cutting to the chase it was iran thats what she was going to say right. The rain regime and the i. R. G. C. Are trying to hide any evidence of the components and the Technology Im sure we will support the side were working on whoever is responsible about to take accountability not once during the presentation that the saudis specifically say that iran did it and theres no love lost if the could they would say it but technicalities but saudi arabia wont do brave journalists will too happy to a very high probability that they were lost from iran tonight u. S. Intelligence indicates the unprecedented attack on Saudi Oil Fields originated from around our top intelligence officials think iran did it and so does our top an intelligence official donald trump because 1 may ask what on earth saudi defenses were doing at the time theyve got the 3rd biggest military budget on earth one of americas best clients the countrys livid with patriot and other anti Missile Systems 80000000000. 00 a year should protect you from a score of drones and missiles no. The News Conference from the Saudi Arabian defense ministries press secretary is a catastrophe for saudi arabia theyve shown they cannot prove or know exactly where the cruise missiles and drones were made from exactly with that attack was launched or why a Defense Systems could not prevent that attack the only thing that might be iranian related is that maybe some of the equipment some of the technology that the who these have might have been incorporated into the attack but why why or why is anyone complaining especially the saudis since the u. S. Has been providing the bombs and the aircraft to the saudis to bomb yemen for 4 years so the who with these are just responding back then again to those saying its iran because there are alleged iranian components in the day bri does that mean that the u. S. Is responsible for horrific massacres in yemen i mean sure saudi arabia dropped the bombs but those say made in the United States more likely than not a arabia has been clearing the shelves of american arms manufacturers recently by this logic theres no need to investigate or collect evidence its american bombs it has got to be america. An entire country reduced to misery and pain untold thousands dead more to die but you know what its the oil refinery in saudi arabia the book wires vengeance. Now theres been a new twist in the standoff between venezuela and the u. S. With caracas now calling on washington to reopen to. Mattick ties it comes after president Nicolas Maduro entered into talks with opposition parties relations between venezuela and the us went downhill in january when donald trump officially recognized opposition leader. As the interim president of the country has recently been linked to venezuelan drug gangs something washington seems unconcerned by as arties expects. So weve got a tale of 2 venezuelan president s weve got interim selfproclaimed president one grade 0 and weve got not Nicolas Maduro but his predecessor the late leader hugo chavez now both of them are being accused of ties to drug cartels heres a picture of one wedo with the leaders of a drug gang known as los restorer this duo is infamous in the criminal underworld and the photo is dated february 22nd when great it was in colombia trying to sneak across the venezuelan border since it surfaced one kwaito is shrugged it off as no big deal to him in the modem but in the middle regime protects the drug gangs so theyre trying to divert attention the real question is how they go to hold to that picture thousands of people get the food to stay can with me and the images get pasta rotten whats not so who was it that sense of whats a picture to the leader of the socialist party. Now the u. S. State Department Also says that it is no big deal wedo still receives full u. S. Backing but when it comes to hugo chavez the story is a big deal never mind that its more than a decade old in that hugo chavez is long dead they say that he tried to flood the United States with cocaine and in spain they wanted the head of military intelligence in venezuela extradited but the judge in the case isnt buying it. I couldnt have hoped for anything different im innocent they have always made false accusations against me the truth is im very happy with what has happens in this if you dont with the colombian opposition leaders say if a colombian politician wants be seen in a photo with those criminals he will be prosecuted hes the union his military and bloody media and political circles are trying to make the scandal smaller which hes actually huge in venezuela colombia a loss in america. 2 president s 2 stories and 2 different approaches because. Why focus on the connections of your ally in the present when you can focus on the alleged connections of your enemy 10 years ago. R. T. New york lost the house the next president of ecuador rafael talk to president majeure about the difficult period venezuela is going through. Letter to. The strategy building a parallel government of the support of the u. S. And its latin American Allies from the lima group has failed it had no chance of success. In a player can hear that they would hope i could not believe it even in europe enlarging europe people recognized as president someone who simply declared himself to be so on the streets without winning a president ial election he got. The real power is in the hands of the european only garc extractions who are the closest allies of the Us Government they are like blood brothers donald trump has imposed his extremist policies towards venezuela on europe that have me you know in a sure that there is a distorted image of venezuela in the International Media and there is the real venezuela which you can see with your eyes it is a nation thats whatever happens protects itself that it is a nation that whatever happens will protect itself like a family but not a state of the economy has an influence on the political situation because ordinary citizens dont know about that and believe what they hear in the media a media that does not inform us of what manipulates venezuela is and are more than just sanctions it is foreign aggression even it were just sanctions what would be the justification in. A year and rafael ill go even further if we look at modern history we see what happened to Saddam Hussein in iraq after the gulf war in 19921901 the Un Security Council imposed economic trade and financial sanctions on iraq and on sudan but later the Security Council allowed him to get medicine and commodities and Food Exchange for oil tankers that venezuela is not under the un sanctions these are unilateral illegal sanctions by the us but we are not being given any opportunity to rock have a. While later on in the program we look at how cuba which supports and euros government is now calling blockade against the country. A genocide story still to come. Now an antiterrorist crackdown in nigeria has led to thousands of children being detained 1000 according to a new report from Human Rights Watch we spoke to them about their findings since 2013 nigeria has detained about 3600 children and in june Human Rights Watch went to the northeast of nigeria where boko haram its most active and we interviewed more than 30 children who had been detained the vast majority of these children were never charged with a crime in fact they were never taken to court they never had the opportunity to see a judge the children were denied contact with their families and held in or a book shins they described so little space that they couldnt turn over at night they were you know high all one next to the other they described it like the razor blades a pack many of them something began losing hope that they would ever be released some thought they would die in detention or children as young as 5 were reportedly held in overcrowded military detention facilities on little or no evidence they spend months even years there without charge with reports of sexual physical and also mental abuse and also as we heard there overcrowding well the children had been accused of involvement with the terrorist Group Boko Haram the radical islam this organization is based in northeastern nigeria it carries that suicide bombings as well as armed assault throughout west africa 2015 baka had pledged allegiance to Islamic State many of the imprisoned children were rounded up by nigerian authorities during military operations against the terrorists. They are asked me if i was a member of burka her and beat me up when i said no they tied my hands and legs and hung me to a tree and continued to flow camy they flogged me and left me tied to the tree from morning till evening one person from my village was killed during the interrogation if you make a noise if you drink water without asking them if you go toward the door to get fresh air they beat you. The soldiers had girlfriends one of the girls from our village was a girlfriend of a soldier she would usually take her out of the compound some ladies got pregnant in the cell and delivered while i was there. The nigerian authorities have released over 2000 children though from detention since 2013 nearly all of whom had been held without charge is not known at this point how many of them still remain in custody jo becker again says the government should make more effort to release them. Nobody knows the current number of children who may still be in military custody nigerian authorities do not allow the United Nations or independent organizations like Human Rights Watch to access the military Detention Centers but what Human Rights Watch is calling for is that nigerian authorities release any remaining children in military detention and transfer them to civilian protection authorities so that they can receive rehabilitation and help or unifying with their families and reintegrating into their communities or the Nigerian Military denied the allegations made against them in the report saying the children are kept in secure areas and adequately cared for weve asked the Nigerian Ministry of justice for comment on the story well theyre so far they havent responded. But still to come a renowned author wins and then hes stripped of german literary award all because of her active support for the palestinian cause well have a look at this just off the bat. Blood form for syrian conflict mediation never has spoken with one voice but recently disagreement between russia turkey and iran has become so still look good not even the leaders try to hide it as the program run its course or is the friction really a sign that its working. Welcome back youre watching international now famous pakistani novelist has been denied a german history award for her political activism she had been calling for a boycott and his writing good quarter picks up the story and. The city of dortmund has reversed its decision to hand a literary awards to british pakistani author Kamila Shamsie that she plagiarized something commit a crime perhaps now its all because she supports an anti Israel Movement called boycott divestment sanctions. The time of the decision none of the jurors knew that Kamila Shamsie had supported the boycotts divestments and sanctions campaign in the past b. S. Aims to isolate israel economically politically and culturally b. D. s has a presence across much of the globe but in germany its had a few run ins with the government palestinian Womens Organization recently sued the city of boston for being excluded from a festival and the court ruled that discrimination based on the organizations belief in b. D. S. Was unfair treatment. Of freedom of expression includes the freedom to discuss and call for a boycott of campaigns and is also protected by the European Convention on human rights however this case is the exception not the rule the border stock has made it clear they see b. D. S. As an anti sematic movement not just anti israel. The arguments and methods of the boycott divestment and sanctions movement are anti semitic the message of the campaign to boycott israeli activists and goods or im innocent of the most terrible period in german history the do not buy a stick is an israeli products bring back associations with the nazi slogan do not buy from jews and similar graffiti in facades and shop windows the law makers concern isnt out of the blue given germanys past but calling the movement nazis could be a bit of a stretch since b. D. s are mostly left wing activists calling attention to israels mistreatment of the Palestinian People and the german palestinians who are protesting say its not the palestinians who are doing the oppressing just look at this protest represents the 1st to confront some of german parliaments motion which is against arab nation and against the palestinian cause they are part. Netanyahu accepts that tries to crush the rights is an appeasement and the right of return to Boycott Movement will continue and this is support is when the Palestinian Liberation Organization along with youth and student groups around the world more and more politicians are questioning israels policies as oppressive risking being called anti sematic along the way i cant stand by and watch this attack on our freedom of speech and the right to boycott the racist policies of the government in the state of israel the oppressive Netanyahu Administration and i have seen this in gaza where families have lived that have been bombed by talk to bombing by israeli jets what the United States should be doing and of course the trumpet ministrations doing exactly the opposite is instead of applauding israel for its actions israel should be condemned germanys past is certainly still haunting to many after all you cant just wipe its horrors out of history but when it comes to israel and palestine its not a simple as black and white donald quarter r. T. Berlin. Keeper has expressed anger over the u. S. Toughening sanctions on the country his foreign minister says the blockade against key words making peoples lives almost impossible. The u. S. Blockade versus cuba has been tightened it is deliberately aimed at affecting the everyday life of our people generating scarcities and difficulties depriving us from Financial Resources and suffocating our economy it is a genocidal criminal policy that violates International Law or the story of u. S. Sanctions on cuba started back in the sixtys in march 158 washington imposed an arms sales embargo on cuba a move seen by some an attempt to help rebels overthrow then current regime makes the u. S. Cut all diplomatic ties with cuba and banned all exports and relations reached a late point in 1962 with the cuban missile crisis we asked people in havana and in the us we asked them in both those countries what they think about relations between the 2 countries. It has affected every aspect of our countrys economic political and social development that have been 12 u. S. President s since the blockade started and the situation has not improved because of its location is a constant battleground for american politics from what the u. S. Government does not serve its own people it serves money the same financial interests the behind. When a behavior that im proud to be a giver stands as an example of how to stand up to how were. Imposing because. What is the purpose of the ongoing u. S. Economic blockade of cuba what is the purpose. Of history i guess you know obviously Everyone Wants to see progress but i think sometimes all beef gets in the way well were probably trying to make this a country where theres socialism right and we dont want these people coming in so theyre blocking was actually never great anyway ther
