7:02 pm
orders massacre committed by israel in the gaza strip of. one who got a call for a hold to the military aggression against our people immediately. and we call for a transparent independent international inquiry to be conducted. while the u.s. ambassador to the united nations nikki haley defended israel's response to the protests in gaza here's what she said no country in this chamber would act with more restraint than israel has in fact the records of several countries here today suggest they would be much less restrained those who suggest that the gaza violence has anything to do with the location of the american embassy are sorely mistaken rather the violence comes from those who reject the existence of the state of israel in any location. and that was nikki haley speaking earlier well in the meantime the situation on the ground in the palestinian territories remains
7:03 pm
tense one man has been killed today in clashes with israeli forces on the gaza border there was also violence in the west bank town of bethlehem where israeli soldiers fired tear gas to disperse small groups of protesters. have used the time that cramer is in gaza for you a tiny what is going on right now where you are. well i'm here at one of the ring points where also the demonstrations took place yesterday and we witnessing all over the afternoon people coming here. the governing today of the protests small here in the afternoon but still as you said one person has been killed and another part along the border and some clashes reported from there and what we've been seeing here is that drones and yeah and then they're dropping. people so the situation yes quite volatile it's through it i would say it's not as
7:04 pm
many people as yesterday. yet gathering at the border area right on time a stunning loss of life that we've seen yesterday entire families in mourning today what's it like being in gaza. well that's right today's the day of the funeral and i talk to people and they say we still have to comprehend what happened on monday because high number of people who were killed and also old a high number of people who were injured and some of them have very severe injuries that has really shocked people so you know people here they don't really know what is there to come they're saying they don't know how a mass who's controlling the gaza strip ruling the gaza strip how they would react what they would make out there are some reports that egypt is trying to mediate to calm down the situation and these are reports for now and people really want to see
7:05 pm
a change you know that these protests are not for nothing so at the moment it's rather uncertain of what will happen next here telling you talk to us a little bit about the geography of gaza because it's very difficult for far to understand how cut off this sliver of land is because it is surrounded by a fence and there are two pedestrian crossings theoretically. you know should be opened for people but at the crossing to egypt and rough it's most of the time close it opens very sporadically sometimes two days in and sometimes it's closed for a month and the other crossing with israel where people would go you know to what's the west bank you also need a permit from the israeli authorities and most of the people don't get these permits you have almost two million people there here in this territory there's another crossing of course for goods but that has also been closed last week for couple of days because it was
7:06 pm
a demonstrating that the protest by palestinian protests and now it has opened again so it's a very enclosed area and even for us we can go in as journalists you know in the morning procession time in the afternoon the crossing is closing and then you're here you can't go anywhere and this is the feeling that. people have specials young people i've been talking to they say if you haven't been traveling call over night for the past and yes. as long as disclosed has been going on tanya kramer reporting from gaza i think you know all right want to tell you now about some of the other stories making news around the world. in iraq a coalition led by shiite cleric father saw there appears to have won parliamentary elections with nearly all the votes counted as other lead militias against the u.s. and was accused of perpetrating atrocities against sunnis betty has since reached out to the sunni community and ran on a nonsectarian platform promising to put iraq interests first and improve
7:07 pm
government services russian opposition leader alexina vali has received a thirty day jail sentence for organizing a protest earlier this month the volley led demonstrations the day before president vladimir putin was inaugurated for a fourth term volley was barred from running in the most recent election and has been frequently jailed for his activism. iranian foreign minister mohammad javad zarif is in brussels today for talks with top e.u. officials on the future of the iran nuclear deal zarif a has already held what he called a constructive meeting with the e.u. stop diplomats for the couple getting any next on the agenda talks with the foreign ministers of germany britain and france tehran is urging europe to resist pressure from washington that's after the u.s. has moved to withdraw from the pact which has cast doubt over the deals future while america's were drawled has also raised tensions with traditional allies
7:08 pm
german chancellor angela merkel weighed in. oh man i think we're now seeing a rift in german american and european american relations we britain germany and france were of the opinion that the agreement on iran's nuclear program such only has weaknesses but is an agreement that we should add here to. the american president so things differently. interesting times lots to unpack today we correspondent is in brussels where these meetings are taking place there the chancellor is keeping firm but there are so many complications without doubt no lack of complications here in brussels with these talks of the foreign minister of the u.k. boris johnson just arrived on the scene talking about these complications saying that there is that there are no under no illusions about iran's disruptive behavior
7:09 pm
but that the e.u. seeks a different way to deal with that behavior and that is they do want to keep the diplomatic channels open they do want to protect the business interests involved and so they he said they are looking at a package a whole package of tools that could now be implemented to preserve that deal but of course the complications here are many fold and so he didn't want to go into greater detail on how exactly he is hoping to preserve the deal because iran has been asking for guarantees that business keeps flourishing between the e.u. and iran and they have already said they are not going to renegotiate this deal talk to us about how exposed the europeans are because they've made a lot of investments. there's a clear determination on the part of europeans particularly france for instance french president talking with russia this morning the french foreign minister and finance minister has met with business delegations to get
7:10 pm
a clearer picture of of how they will be affected so there is a clear determination to stand up to the u.s. here in in case of these sanctions or possible counter sanctions that then could hit european enterprises after all the trade german exports three iran total three billion exports from france totaled one point five or nearly one point five billion so a lot of money involved a lot of diplomatic efforts involved but at the end of the day some diplomats here have pointed out that the strategic relationship to the us is still so important that at the end of the day the european reaction won't be the as hostile as some might hope it will be no but if them same time there's been a dramatic deterioration in transatlantic or relations we're seeing a real divergence. coming to the fore because of this deal has this ever happened before garrick. called it an outright diplomatic crisis
7:11 pm
for transatlantic relations here and so no many diplomats here agree or basically all of brussels to be that that has not happened before and that is for two reasons not only that donald trump did not listen to three key allies the two from the security council the the united kingdom france and germany who all lobbied very hard in the u.s. to preserve that deal but also that this time and we had disagreements between europe and the u.s. before remember the iraq war but the whole architecture of international relations is questions with trump's approach to multilateralism or rather his rejection of multilateralism garrick motus reporting from brussels thank you. germany's coach has unveiled a provisional squad today that he hopes will defend their world cup title in russia and our very own and leroy shirts from our sources joins us now to talk us through
7:12 pm
the line of who's in who's out well the biggest talking point is obviously manuel neuer who's in after his injury kept him on the sidelines in september he hasn't played a game so obviously that's a very controversial pick and he might still not go to the world cup because on june fourth they're actually going to cut the squad again and they have three keepers now and therefore keepers now sorry but they need to come down to three so will be kevin top and then of course there's mario gazza who didn't make the squad and. who is in the squad instead of someone who doesn't has never ever played for the german national team and now he's in the provisional squad for the world cup that must be very exciting for the super exciting and there's a first time for everything so as good luck to him we don't have live talking about germany's chances of defending its world title. on the course with the defending world champions i mean won the confederations cup. he's an obviously the goal for us all has to be to win the title and we want to reach
7:13 pm
the maximum amounts with the atmosphere in the training camp and during our travels will be about. guys and i think we all possess the determination and motivation and a competitive enough people to get to win this title again and bring the cup back to germany you know not touch and certainly is this the team that's going to be able to defend the title they're definitely the team to beat i mean they have such squad depth and also so much talent in that squad that it's going to be very very difficult to get past germany the only flaw they might have is that their attack is not as great as some of the other countries like you have brazil where you have neymar where you have for me in your continual here france with big. greaseman i mean these are all very very talented players in attack and germany i mean they have team of anna and the newspapers. but you know they're non you know they're not as experienced and not as dangerous in the final third of the pitch really still secure victories so maybe that will be you know too much of
7:14 pm
a vulnerability let's talk about at the end about this controversy regarding this photo op has that there was that is storm in a teacup in the end i mean a little bit so ms it isn't going to go on met with turkish president aragon in a hotel in london on sunday and that was obviously very controversial in germany people want wild over i mean first they asked for them to be taken off the national team which is kind of extreme and then i mean they even went so far as calling them traders are saying they have to decide between their two nationalities which is a little bit harsh because i mean they're also turkish of turkish descent right so you can't really hold that against them that they feel for those countries and in the end they did make the team or not they made the team absolutely and some of them really play a role there anyway all right emily russia thank you so much. family for i let you go i don't mind your of our main headline this hour. as palestinians bury their dead the international community has been reacting to the killing of almost sixty
7:15 pm
people in gaza by israeli troops the u.n. security council is meeting in an emergency session many countries have condemned israel but the united states has come to israel's defense. you're watching your every news movie back at the top of the hour now thank you so much for spending as part of your day with us. called the german string together in one nation from the minute to chancellor also from bismarck to. the history of the germans has been shaped by great rulers. nice well known ways to bring my royal college of bath to protect christendom and spread to find the truth. always appear to be to the enemy in time.
