it's going to be germany. when the play seventy confederations cup joins in a few minutes as we continue the intellectual debate. welcome to our teams a national live from moscow i'm daniel hawkins rather thanks for choosing us this hour well israel has said it has struck a syrian military position in response to a stray mortar shell fired from across the border the idea for portably has an artillery battery in the syrian controlled section of the golan heights the area has been a regular flashpoint between israel and syria for the past fifty years is very military issued a statement in response to projectiles launched from syria the i.d.f. targeted the syrian military artillery position that was the source of the fire and was follows five almost identical incidents in the syrian and israeli sections of

the go to new heights throughout the past week these ready prime minister has said his country will not tolerate any spillover from the syrian civil war and will respond to all incoming fire investigative journalist rick starting to listen israel is escalating the situation as the syrian army have been so slow and slowly but surely it is crushing the the armed opposition the terrorists within syria israel is escalating its attacks and its intervention it's really dangerous i mean a couple of facts about that situation number number one is that there's been nobody injured on the in the israeli occupied territory and yet israel is attacking as your broadcast just mentioned two syrian soldiers were killed i just a couple of days ago so it's extremely dangerous it's clearly a violation of syrian sovereignty. thousands of turn out in the british capital not for the not one day more antigovernment march and of

the sea it sure has been following the demonstration in london. when central london where thousands of people have come out onto the streets to protest theresa may government now this is not the first protest taking place in london in recent weeks but it's certainly the biggest lead have seen recently thousands of people filling the streets marching from b.b.c. headquarters towards parliament where they're all here they say because they want that story out there is a campaign issue that people are really disappointed with from a staring measures to the handling of cracks into the coalition with the team to the ground felt was tragedy really gilliss long and people want to be so made to go this is why the gap is widening between so many so many people this might be the quality i mean it's just not fair and just have to be that way on here tonight well as a protest because this will stir to the conservative government has imposed on this

nation mine concerns education. at the pump with the universe is on the label we wouldn't go between a man c o two going up means the nation great and the president signed off on the first go not i'm going to come out with thousands of pounds of debt here to support me more were it shrivel because it's becoming increasingly more of a shock to me by to be in the city was a little bit more about this i'm joined by musician jake painter jake thanks so much for joining us today with what you make of this turnout i think this is probably the biggest protest we've seen taking place recently for his historic numbers of people here today it is really quite unprecedented and you know i think that just shows the level of distrust such people have to discover why do you think the time is now i mean it's been quite a few protests we've seen recently why are this many people disappointed now i think it's been a very long standing in growing resentment especially i think you know the young

the millennium with every show you know where people are realizing move the future if it is belief unless they get out and do some. about it and so i think that's what we're seeing here today was a lot of young people at a lot of protests and these people are you know so much younger crowd than normal this is don't really have a job or say certainly the c.p.a. the coalition partners come on some issues but in parliament so i think the the idea of this is to bring us all together to say yes we'd like to achieve these are mated to the lead now we'd like another election and we're confident that the progressive parties could win a majority say in an election but also said to unite around some policy measures we can push for an argument with potentially we could see the government now i think the south in a very very dangerous position election day by the by the lack of success that she had. or just weeks since the general election the british capital has been hit by a number of mass anti government protests. was i

was was we have. a modern bottleneck is developing on the italian french border where controls have been tightened with drones and guard dogs following video capture it's a makeshift camp by artie's video agency ruptly so it's the heavy price people are paying to traffickers just to continue their journey north. just. really. it was the individual let's meet in the u.s. . now it's really has become of the main entry point for refugees crossing the

mediterranean via libya on friday tensions spilled over in rome as crowds rallied against the construction of new asylum shelters meanwhile in juneau where people took to the streets to denounce the far right parties seeking to crack down on immigration. was. i. i i. was it was the sweet italy threaten to start turning away margaret rescue ships arriving at southern shores and warm the e.u. that the situation has become unsustainable.

what you shot at dubin ski traveled to the italian and of sicily which is one of the main rival points for african migrants. this is one of the many. brings rescue. to ports like this one here in sicily and so many of those might be the first time. but the italian authorities say there's so many coming here to italy that they might have to close the ports. like this. to be safe it's only the well but the sheer. landed and it happened to be cheeky here on the sicily and people on this island say they feel

abandoned. it is not just the responsibility of italy is the responsibility of europe there is far too much immigration it's really cannot support arriving migrants. they do nothing because their policies don't work they just talk. they have to help you know we're bearing the financial burden. i want other states france spain and others to do their part in helping the migrants because this prime minister didn't along he said everyone turns away and pretends not to see to do nothing is wrong europe needs to help out the european union has provided financial aid to it says. and now e.u. have said that they cool to open up the ports along the mediterranean coast such as say in. spain but that is likely to be met with great resistance.

and some people suggest that you are saying is little more than. some countries need to do more to do their share in distributing the refugees poland hungary and the czech republic have not accepted a single refugee from a. unfortunately we have no progress on the question of distribution of migrants within the european union. solidarity with the italian government and the italian people and we will make available all possible assistance and support it seems the . very. powers that europe. is continuing to sing and the strain of the crisis. from doctors without borders who describe what it's like to rescue moderates from the mediterranean this is the prudent spirit how many people have

been able to rescue in these seas over the last few months or years we've rescued almost seven thousand people. since the beginning of this year and not just with this particular vessel. and with other vessel which is the. what of the conditions like. the coast of africa like we found out the ones that have been the scariest. because you have people coming on in deplorable conditions to be honest with very little on as many people on this possible and sometimes they're dead people in the people have drowned in a few centimeters of water because of the panic and also because. maybe some of the petrol leaking. fuel they panic because there are. people.

going to vote sometimes. people under there and they will sometimes inhale of a few. water gets in there as well the conditions are really horrible it's very challenging physically and also emotionally and even mentally because you have to prepare yourself for anything. we have people. that could be pregnant women with children born on board. you have people who are in labor people going to labor you know how do you want to be able to be medically evacuated so you have to be prepared for anything what kind of stories do people tell you about why they're prepared to make a journey so many angles to look at this because. there. is violence. but then you have a huge case of human trafficking and. where people are being brought into. being forced into prostitution and then there are

a lot of people who are fleeing libya who are businessmen and traders business women working in pairs and maids in libya and. people are being kidnapped raped held hostage. over and over and over we had people on board during the last rescue had been kidnapped over five times in libya given everything they had they were just willing to get out they said. it's a call for european countries to take responsibility and to take ownership the e.u. is one union and they have signed agreements to help each other and it does seem like it's by themselves now and italy is crying for help. ceremony was held at the european parliament for the late german leader helmut kohl who passed away two weeks ago. gave a speech paying tribute to the country's media that were claiming that it happened against the wishes of coals with its claim she would have preferred to hear from all the world leaders including. prime minister viktor orban officials though

apparently prevented all one from speaking. marco had a complex relationship. reunification he started her political career in the late ninety's kohl was called. marko replaced him as leader of the christian democrats you heard from deputy defense secretary really who attended. and. it is very important there's a family that. is all the public wanted to see good bye to him would call. fires off the fires are. missing you always have to fire better than the situation and are seeing what happened today. was the balance situation. and new german legislation branding both fake news and online terrorist propaganda as criminal activity has been hit with

a storm of criticism not least in the country's parliament parties warn that social media firms may overregulate while the anti establishment for germany party described it as a dark day for journalism a european digital rights group even issued an open letter before the legislation was passed claiming the bill breach e.u. laws now the new rules mean companies will have just twenty four hours to remove the content phase because of any harm in more people to check flagged posts billions of users there are concerns that web giants in general may be overwhelmed by complaints. and would contact facebook for comment the company told us they're just lation is the wrong way to fight online hate speech with regulation threatening to remove content that's not actually illegal we discuss the issue with demeaning a political activist or shout out u.k. he believes the risks leading to censorship. everywhere you look on the internet there is how each beat hate speech for defamation of those kind of things but there

is a problem when you start to try and tell private enterprise corporations to try and do it and then there's also this issue that you've got to find what it is you know for someone hate speech maybe actually true for all vice versa you know how do you define what actually is a reality in every single newspaper or news network out of the sun has a slant of some kind or another part of the problem where you've got a government which is essentially trying to do that for the people who are saying well this is this we don't regard as new so we're going to get rid of that for you are going to get rid of then you need to watch this kind of news and i look at it only fru fru this kind of lens and that becomes quite dangerous is essentially censorship you can call it regulation you can call it whatever you want but the reality is essentially a ship because you are censoring a certain point of view or a certain set of knew when i was a she just because you don't deem them as as fair all or factually correct the establishment is worried about the internet in the internet is this one place where

everybody everybody in the world can essentially have a voice they see that as as the centralized they see it as almost anarchic and for that i think it scares them. the stage is all set for the final of the fee for confederations cup which is being hosted in russia neil harvey and former england player stan collymore of bringing you our special coverage of the tournament. down the final germany against chile on paper they look pretty well balanced who do you think has the upper hand with coin credible i can't remember a tournament with every champions league or world cup a confederation is called having such a huge experience gap all elaborate that for you gretz go on three goals for germany team over an hour on two goals for germany lost in long two goals for

germany. three of the holy scorers in this tournament have thirteen caps thirteen appearances for their country between them converse alexey sanchez who plays for austin in england has got one hundred fourteen appearances for chile so it's a huge gap in experience and it's going to be fascinating to see how this plays out at the center to read its let's go to the stadium now i think petersburg stadium which is where the final will be played our correspondent a part of just outside obviously not too many in the way of fans of the moment maybe a few just curious having a look around but lots to be excited about a few people around a few lights coming on a few more people turning up as well if you go into the hotels everybody there let people speak english because the nature of this final i think if you're a host nation of course everybody wanted russia to be a need to do really well but of course looking at then some of the other teams coming through this is set up as you said to be a cracking final with two of the world's best teams also just before hand when we were looking at all the numbers of fans who bought tickets assigned for russians

watching the tournament chile and germany were among the fans who bought them ice tickets so lots of them there there are they've been anticipating good final mexico which for a moment to open in long two trips over a month haven't seen so much as anybody other than but their beautiful eyelids that made man woman and child racism hooliganism where receipt. there isn't any apparently and i've every read it across reports across the whole of the media across the world as well and nobody has reported anything i think is to the delight of fee for particular russia as well but johnny avanti now was full of praise because it wasn't just a question of as you mentioned hill eagerness and racism some of these other issues that have been long debated about particular issues in eastern europe but also the fact that the infrastructure wouldn't be finished but the feet the president himself was full of praise on a social level and an infrastructure level about the tournament so far we were hearing about violence about incidents. about. racism when we had nothing we had no incidents everything run smoothly

everything run perfectly we're hearing about the infrastructure as well the are not ready and how will it work and all this well the infrastructure is absolutely beautiful beautiful football stadiums transport works visa free entry will defend id free transportation between the venues by train is something that does not happen in many other countries were big events or organized well that city for many years particularly say i've been here since the time that the world cup bid was announced and where the host city would be and then about the confederations cup we've been hearing about the negatives about the potential for races and the potential for hooliganism the infrastructure would be ready but it's all coming together and for once we can now concentrate on the positives it's all about a cracking game of football between two of the world's best teams here at the magnificent stadium on sunday night thank you i have to say in your very briefly the stadiums are ready the trouble is ready and often his took

a lot of stick to say from all the four cities been absolutely fantastic i would say that you know it's not like people are looking for problems and about you not hearing anything but mostly on telling absolutely marrow wall here in princes burger joint. they were showing off their fancy footwork and some of these kids. it could have a future which does well and. let's just see the making. of the ball playing in three because even though. we're going to experience. in st petersburg here that's what. the best football playing surface but it's certainly a very beautiful. ball. this . is.

joined by peter stone to the chief correspondent for gold peter great to have you in the studio now first of all just explain to us what are you doing here in russia well obviously it's the big tournament next year the world cup and a lot of our team we haven't been to russia before for work to visit so they've sent me on almost an exploratory mission here it's going to be a proper world cup next year i know a lot of people in the u.k. and ireland in the united states might have certain fears or preconceptions about what it's going to be like on the ground here next year but you know this sort of you know should really anybody's fears about coming here i found great stadiums for a straight stadiums great infrastructure great help from the volunteers free transport between the cities and around the cities for all the sounds i just find that the people you know the country would know for you when you're here you know i had one woman on the train platform and so what you actually followed her daughter

who spoke english to make sure that i was getting on the right train and it's that sort of helpfulness. quite by surprise here i found people that are warm there and like i said the country will for you you know all the security fronts funds will be kept apart but even even at that i think sure friends are going to make it quite well if we could have been away for the world cup next year that's all we want i think that's the main thing obviously. neal will be back throughout sunday with the build up to the final join us on all things the national for. the u.s. ambassador to the united nations nikki haley has compared a wrong to a scorpion in remarks about the country's nuclear disarmament. the topic of iranian regime's compliance with its international obligations reminds me of the fable of the scorpion and the frog. the scorpion asked the frog for

a ride across the river the frog quite rationally asks how do i know you won't sting me and the scorpion replies because it would kill both of us we'd both drown . so the frog is convinced he lets the scorpion get on its back and starts across the river but sure enough midway through the scorpion stings him with his last breath the frog asked why and the scorpion replies because it's in my nature. the secretary general's report is filled with devastating evidence of the nature of the iranian regime one we're talking about. international agreements and enforcement and one we're talking about the potential of prosecuting through military means or the like. these little metaphorical parable references lose their quaintness this

is serious business here so when it comes to international diplomacy but it comes with the possibility of sanctions when it comes to the possibility theoretically of war i would prefer lay off the metaphor in the parable and the simile and let's be very very clear and also never overreact always look for a peaceful peaceful interpretation and a peaceful outcome i hope this is not the first time top american officials have used this type of rhetoric when describing the nations the former director of u.s. national intelligence james clapper has been fairly outspoken about russians on this supposed genetics. the historical practices of the russians. typically almost genetically driven to co-opt. penetrate. to gain favor whatever is there any reason to believe that russia is not continuing

to attempt to or to infiltrate us political organizations individuals all i'm quite sure they are still with i think it's in their d.n.a. . those critical of us policies it's all good with such rhetoric not only abroad but inside the united states as well of america's most prominent philosophers and explain it all to america how the anti americanism label is used by politicians suddenly critics of american empire are american capitalism got tarred with this and he american is. going to be very interesting that. it's a concept that only exists to turn states in the soviet union old soviet union you could be in the soviet the brazilian military dictatorship you could be. but aside from the united states i don't know of any other. authoritarian country with the concept even exist it's

a very striking country concept if you're critical of policy you're anti american and actually this is an interesting political or. who has the. ultimate ultimate evil in the bible he called the prophet. evil that's. if you challenge authority you're opposed to the society culture community and so. you can watch the full interview with. the next on the program. discussing the country strategy in the middle east.

that you can. really. keep in mind. for.

to. paul and welcome to all the parties for much of the syrian war the anti iranian arab consensus has played handsomely into israel's hands and that is until the friends of syria group imploded from within but the jury can qatar now be more open than their defiance of the saudis and the american stance growing ever more unpredictable to what is a plea for israel to will to discuss that i'm now joined by golan chair one of israel's senior peace negotiators mr sharon is such an order to such a pleasure to you.
