in. it. if you go. people. from desperation to liberation hope for syrians india resorts the army works repel islamic state from the city past he has exclusive video also to come this hour washington's mixed messages over the korean crisis confuses allies in the region and america's mboya the u.n. hints that washington could drop the iran nuclear deal saying it mustn't become too big to fail.

to get even is just turned six o'clock here in moscow you with r.t. international now after three years of being isolated from the outside world there's hope for syrians india resort the army is battling to retake it from islamic state an r.t. has filmed exclusive video from inside the besieged city. rose is calling also. saying i want to. fix. the. problem and i've seen the. urgency from the video the conditions inside the city are dire after years of terrorist oppression but a sickness ses including food is scarce and the un humanitarian agency is concerned that vital medical help is not getting through in fact right now the only way to

get emergency supplies to civilians is three air drops as more details. it's not the mariana trench or an active volcano but still one of the least accessible places on our planet syria's dear resort a city that's been completely encircled by islamic state for some three years thank you. although it almost seems impossible but the only way to get into the city is by plane but it means risking your life one r.t. contributor did just that getting exclusive access to the neighborhood of besieged a resort right here just hundreds of meters from the front line at first glance these exclusive pictures seem they could be from any middle east city but that's far from that here's what locals have gotten used to they are going to start out i

doubt that there was. any of any. mortars left shelling craters rubble blood on the ground you can find scenes like this all over war torn syria but here in des resorts the disaster is totally and it's capable the city completely cut off there been times which have been very dire but has said local support has been key especially to the tribes in the division they have been key to holding out and at the moment it's very similar and drops are happening and people forget that the siege has been very difficult for the deescalation zone has helped the situation and there is or as well see these power shoots that's food in essential is being delivered to deir ez-zor it's basically the only way possible you don't have to be

you an expert to realize how bad things are when it comes to the. water and food situation here when you're inside the city the camera doesn't lie about the consequences of the siege the u.n. estimated some ninety thousand people remain trapped in their resort today we can't tell how many are left but they're still there hoping to forget what it's like to have islamic state as their only neighbors. now donald trump says that north korea made a very wise and well reasoned decision in not striking the u.s. island territory of quarks and that any attack would have been catastrophic and also an acceptable the u.s. president's comments to come just a day after pyongyang said it would hold off on strikes in fact if we look here in north korea's news agency claimed that kim jong un will quote watch a little more foolish and stupid conduct of the yankees did however say that

military action is still a very real possibility meanwhile america's approach to the crisis has left the allies in seoul a bit bewildered is kind of expects. before donald trump even taken office he already laid out a clear strategy for dealing with threats to america we are totally predictable we tell everything we're sending troops we tell them we're sending something else we have a news conference we have to be un predictable well south korea washington's key partner in asia didn't bank on the tactic also being used on them we think that now with the american government has moved from the strategic patience of obama administration into strategic confusion well here's where that confusion might be coming from let's see if we can follow the trump team's statements over the course of about a week they will be met with fire and fury and i think the american sleep well tonight no concerns about the. rhetoric over the last few days frankly

the people who were course think that statement was too tough maybe it wasn't tough enough this president will no longer put up with a peace that nobody loves a peaceful solution better than president trump and i can tell you we continue to be interested in finding the way to dialogue with the following these mixed messages from washington the unpredictable is certainly happened the tensions have now got p.r. yang in seoul somewhat agreeing with each other the u.s. should first show through actions if they wish to ease tensions on the korean peninsula and prevent a dangerous military clash. government will put everything on the line to prevent another war on the korean peninsula and when it comes to the question of whether or not the united states wants to resolve the korean nuclear issue peacefully seoul says that it is on the same team as washington the south korean government in the u.s. government don't have

a different position on the peaceful resolution of the crisis in south korea really be sure given that it's rather unclear what exactly trump really wants this is because there is no policy. this is because trump doesn't sit down with his cabinet and say ok let's strategize. for the contingencies that we've guy and then once we've got this this policy then we are we're here to that policy and our public our public statements reflect that that doesn't go on i mean the president makes this statement and he doesn't consult anybody does more than anybody and then you do catch up. with the secretary of state trying to settle nerves and of course the defense department gets jealous of the state department this is what happens when nobody's in control you have to wonder if

south korea isn't starting to get just a little bit annoyed after all their lives hang in the balance as the white house wordgames continue to look mop and r.t. new york well despite tensions easing slightly in recent days u.k. based think tank has warned that britain should be prepared for a potential war between the u.s. and north korea with more on that hasan roy smith. it's an independent defense and security think tank very well regarded and they've written this report which is urging civil servants to start preparing rice away for the possible declaration of war between the u.s. and north korea here's the essence of what the report says and you korean war is now a real possibility if war did begin the president would be on the form to turn downing street within an hour asking for support what hole needs to be preparing now for a range of possible scenarios that could unfold in the coming months what led

receipts to produce this report was the opinion of its author that says that north korean technical advances combined with what it calls the volatile and impulsive personality of president trump are a dangerous combination and although experts say that a north korean missile could potentially reach london there isn't really a palpable sense of panic in the media or in the street but that is in direct contrast to what we're seeing elsewhere in the u.s. we're hearing from companies that make bomb shelters they say that they're seeing an uptick in the number of orders particularly from japan but also domestically in the u.s. where families are burying bomb shelters in their garden in preparation for what could be a nuclear attack meanwhile in the u.s. territory of wall which of course has been the target of the recent aggressive rhetoric from north korea they had a terrible shock wave and i when radio stations accidentally broadcast an emergency

warning residents to go to facebook to express that just in the emergency alert system on the d. that we were expecting missiles to be launched on a week is a perfect way to cause most hysteria why would you test a civil danger warning on the day we are expecting to get bumped and not indicate that it's a test this is freaking me out. back here in london they re see is warning that if the worst. it happened the prime minister which have a maximum of a few hours to decide what her position would be or not and what kind of support she can offer and that is of particular worry as of course many senior civil servants are sick condit to a matter much closer to home. when in fact the threat could come from further away . over smith there were earlier we spoke to the former pentagon official michael maloof and he thinks that joint military efforts between washington and seoul will further aggravate the situation on the peninsula there is going to be an impending

south korean u.s. military exercise within the next week or so of south korea if south korea is sincere maybe they should postpone the as a signal to north korea but they are sincere about deescalate tensions on the peninsula i haven't heard that yet and and what i'm concerned about is if they proceed with that those military exercises there will be yet another catalyst for kim jong un to start rattling the sabers again. meanwhile in america the u.s. envoy to the u.n. nikki haley has signaled the u.s. is not beyond abandoning the iran nuclear deal the u.n. meanwhile insists that the international community must do everything in its power to ensure the cream and whole as we can get more details now from our correspondent in. iran cannot be allowed to use the nuclear deal to hold the world

hostage the nuclear deal and become too big to fail u.n. secretary general antonio be terrorists considers the iran nuclear deal to be one of the most diplomatic achievements in our collective search for peace and security we need to do whatever we can to preserve it. ok well now we can cross live to our correspondent in washington has been following what's been said jacki what prompted in that statement from nikki haley. well her comments come after the iranian president warned earlier this week that his country could backtrack on the two thousand and fifteen agreement in short order should further sanctions be imposed by the u.s. . i gotta tell you if the us administration is willing to repeat previous experiences iran will certainly within a short period know to the scale of weeks or months but on the scale of our return to a much more advanced position than when the talks started. earlier this month the president

trying to find a fresh wave of sanctions against iran into law a move that iran considers to be a violation of the nuclear agreement now under that deal iran officially agreed to halt part of its nuclear program in exchange for western countries lifting sanctions against them and at the time the agreement was viewed as a warning a landmark diplomatic achievement by most major powers but now its future is coming under question and russia's foreign minister has in fact warned that u.s. sanctions against iran could undermine the regional balance established by the j.c. p.o. a. sanctions are illegal in principle but when they sanctions are used to get advantage in a carefully collaborated balance and such a balance has been reached off the around you can do these are irresponsible actions that can undermine this balance the u.s. shouldn't use such provocation here we are talking about an individual's national

interests but about the interests of a whole region where we are trying to secure non-nuclear states. the recent sanctions were approved despite washington having confirmed that iran has in fact stayed in compliance with the terms of the deal and at this point both sides have accused the other of violating the quote spirit of the agreement iran for carrying out rocket test and the u.s. for imposing new sanctions but of course the two countries also claim no infractions have occurred on their part meanwhile the threats to vacate this monumental agreement continue to fly and in fact escalate in severely leaving the future a bit unclear ok thanks jacki that was objecting big there for us in washington. last. brussels is spending millions of euros to tackle negative notions about the e.u. will tell you about that so the story after the break. welcome

to our already.

welcome back be commander in charge of the libyan national army has been explaining the help and hindrance of foreign states in the conflicts that's plaguing his country the general who. has been in more sky and spoke exclusively with out. russia is a friendly state to us we have long term historical relations and we have fully and in detail describe to russia what is going on in our country we trust each other and conceal nothing we've given full information concerning our political and military spheres i think we have coherence on all. russia has never refused us its political support it has influence on the international arena that's why we asked

them to promote the softening of unjust resolution dollars which were adopted regarding the embargo on supplying arms to libya. italy created a barrier outside its territorial waters to send migrants back to the libyan coast but this is absolutely wrong they want to concentrate all migrants on the libyan coastline this is after all migration and we shouldn't turn it into colonize asian earth and it would be better to tackle the root of the problem of technical capabilities of borders need to be developed with help from other countries and it is that the europeans have to be responsible and participate in meeting the challenge of adequately equipping libyan border guards if they want to prevent illegal migration they should reduce weapons import constraints italy's dealing with transporting arms via tunisia and now geria but unfortunately some libyan parties get these arms of course this is part of increasing pressure on the libyans and this is supporting terrorism instead of fighting it. we conduct

business transparently with state to take the initiative france took the initiative to mediate rebuilding our state and to help establish peace and we will work with france using everything we have let italy take the initiative and then we will work with italy we're not biased towards anyone we're not seeking to create problems instead we have conflict in our country and then looking to solve it we also should be able to decisively face aggression against us some may think that libya is weak in that you can slice off a piece of libya yes we're not strong but we won't give an inch of our national territory. we'd rather die than live in humiliation on. general have to there is a powerful figure in libya's ongoing conflict the military veteran took part in the coup that brought gadhafi to power but then he also played a crucial role in toppling him back in twenty eleven american explains how the general for his way back into libya's political arena after decades of brought. pivotal figure in shaping the future of libya is

a military strongman and previous backer of colonel gadhafi although in two thousand and eleven khalifa returned from exile to lead rebel forces against national libyan army has the support of some international heavyweights including france a country open to talks with the rival government as the. western leaders initially celebrated his fall from power and even promised a brighter future for libya. you would get rid of him you would choose freedom. thank you. the united states is committed to the libyan people you have won your revolution we came we saw that you died and i know what they didn't foresee however was the instability and chaos that continues to plague the country. there are currently three governments simultaneously trying to will libya but that

isn't counting tribal leaders and various islamist groups setting up their own to facto laws of the land it's been six years since made his intervention to colonel gadhafi but now it's another military commander emerging as a key player on the political scene the intervention in libya has been an unmitigated disaster in a state of confusion of. failed state status which libya. possesses all power comes out of the barrel of a gun. a lot of guns. in his fight against the extreme islamist elements well able to use it we have after all this. hope for someone like him to take the reins of power and rebuild their lives. it's come full circle so libya could be about to go full

circle with the possibility of a military man once again taking the reins. now the year is on a charm offensive at the moment to reduce the spread of u.s. skepticism across the broad it is spending nearly three million euros on eighty four projects and the money's being spent in several states with more than half a million going on ten projects in britain alone and that's despite voters they're choosing to quit the e.u. more than a year ago and it could well be money down the drain if the recent poll is anything to go by it does suggest that over two thirds of people in the u.k. now want to leave while only twenty two percent want the government to ignore the brics result in a stronger vote than before british zero m. payne aking gill accuses the of using taxpayers' money though to indoctrinate citizens they just see it as this huge wave of an educated populace and the clever and intelligent ones and they know better that kind of attitude is

just going to get them deeper and deeper into trouble this is an opportunity for them to wake up in this and they're not taking it they're trying to reeducate and trying to use our money to indoctrinate is into thinking or feeling differently it's not going to work i think the twenty third of june twenty sixth was an opportunity it was a wake up call for the european union for them to sit up and for them to answer what do our citizens really warm what do they expect from these institutions and how can we change to make them feel more like like this is a democratic institution as time goes by we're going to see more and more. distrust and more more problems within the european union a lot of it will be of their own making. video has been released of israeli police raiding a hospital in east jerusalem they were apparently trying to arrest a palestinian man who'd been critically wounded the action though in fact prevented

him from undergoing an operation the medical staff say that that resulted in his death witnesses describe what happened. i got a call from security informing me that the police had entered the surgical ward i went up there and said in english you can't be here this is a sterile ward one of them told me there's a wounded man here we want to see. a curry clee wounded man who is brought into our illegally could been hit by bullets he was bleeding have really did doctors decide to take the man to the operating room on his deck in full arm. there is some mutual pushing and shoving between the young man and the officers who were assaulting people in the charming and admission town.

with israeli police they deny the claims of using excessive force saying that they were under attack themselves by local residents and that concrete blocks were thrown at them r.t. has requested further comment from the israeli play since that video came to light when we hear back from them well let you know what they say meanwhile i'm still international has condemned the israeli police raids is a ruthless display of force and violence palestinian human rights campaigner francis says that such and such actions are illegal but have become more frequent. this royal as a state is not respecting international humanitarian law this is not the fairest is that all the all of me is attacking hospitals and interring the top post but those last two years of the attack the hospital in here but on in order to address someone tells today unfortunately the international community ought to not taking

these fail ations seriously so that reaction to such a relation should be more serious body than total machine and unity specially the e.u. and agencies and the international criminal court to open an immediate investigation to find is that oil accountable because as i said it's not the first time and never of the international community took any measures in order to enforce its royal to avoid to international low and to stop such practices. time forget you can follow will be stories with others stay with. i'll be back at the top of the.

group going to get. a little bit belittle. your to be nice to people. we all willingly accepted the risk of being shot wounded taken prisoner but noone first signed up to be friggin poisoned by our own people of seeing stuff that was nuclear biological and chemical products said do not truck tires all types of styrofoam polystyrene these batteries trucks there was a complete denial i think at all levels of government that there was any connection between berm pits and what these brave soldiers were suffering from to compensate

every soldier marine airman and sailor that was on the ground that are complaining about illnesses from their exposure from the berm pits would read literally send to be a pro and they don't want to pay it so the wady and decades a lot of those soldiers will die in time and they won't have to pay and. call for help and get the middle finger the movies to model is. delayed and i hope you don't .
