prism but i'm approaching conclusions on your merit from q. and a session with. more than seventy questions in almost four hours for bringing the highlights not coming up. in the headlines to today was a live nation's call freestream used to be recognized as the palestinian capital while rejecting the u.s. role in the middle east peace process with the u.s. decision on your roof so that every possible step bost be taken sick prevent the implementation of this illegal action by the us administration and u.k. conservative m.p.'s rebel against their own prime minister to resume a backing of parliament vetoed any final deal on leaving the e.u. .
11:01 am
just turned seven leaving here moscow my name is kevin owen live from r.t. h.q. hope you'll stay with me for next thirty minutes with a news update starting with this russian president's annual q. and a from earlier this thursday big news here today but putin fielded four hours of nonstop questions and very diverse questions there were two from the press. he was listening in the things that particularly stude out for me this time is that the share of questions that you might want to call challenging for white america about corruption about the silencing of political opponents in russia was perhaps a bit larger this time then previously he was indeed grilled about the lack of competition in russian politics and one question came from perhaps his direct opponent a person who wants to become a presidential candidate in russia in twenty subject that's a major issue for those who want to represent that. system opposition they have to
11:02 am
offer not a short lived and shrill agenda but a real one why is it so difficult to be an authorization maybe the government is frightened of fact competition by the the opposition should present a program of positive action that's clear to the public do you want someone with the intentions of a coup d'etat we've seen this already if you want to list the returns i'm sure that the overwhelming majority of citizens don't want it and more not let it happen. i mentioned corruption previously and in fact that is one of the things the current russian system of the government is often blamed for and yes a few times corruption was brought up a lot of report and said that he's not satisfied with what's gone on he was asked specifically about corruption in law enforcement agencies the russian president says that people are being charged and there are investigations some people are being put in prison including government officials but he complained that new
11:03 am
people common things don't change but here's what he suggested and this particular sphere. means to him the judicial it's not a secret but it's a tough question and i can't say that i'm satisfied with how this work is being done one solution i can think of is like we have an army but we have rotation and someone serves for three or five years in one place then they are transferred somewhere else so maybe it makes sense to organize something like that in law enforcement to speaking of us related questions there was one about the ways to sort out the north korean crisis and vladimir putin said a few very important things about that take a listen do you think that cooperation on north korea could warm up u.s. russia relations. continuously would it be that you were very interesting people have you noticed that your congressman senators who were nice sushma shirts you
11:04 am
seem to be. so they lump last year there with north korea and iran the same time they pushed their president to ask us to resolve the iran nuclear deal and the north korean crisis is what you would is wrong with you people. and then the russian president went back to russia stance which has remained the same for quite a while that is calling on all sides to were framed from hostile actions i think this indeed sums up the highlights of. the events for everything else you can go to our website and you tube channel other questions and answers by vladimir putin are available there. indeed they are with other rush present also touched on some of the most pressing russian and international topics of course. how would you explain to americans the sheer number of contacts between the trump camp and your government. it was all made up by the people in opposition to
11:05 am
trump in order to illegitimacy to his work but i can honestly say i find it strange it was made to feel most that here like they had no knowledge this would damage a country. and the police the ability of head of state to display means that they did not respect the voters who. said it was accused of someone. someone saw something in him that is beyond reasoning but why does it have to look like some kind of. trump victory. entirely by inable through that a number of well known social and political trends and had nothing to do with russia so yes there was a deliberate kind of attempt to blame russia rather than to engage in any kind of internal reflection or discussion about what actually happened in the election and
11:06 am
why it was that clinton didn't win and it's still going on. my colleagues and i have said that it's obvious that the scandal was inflated to fit russia's domestic political calendar and no matter what anyone says just know that was the case you could invite at the same time we should blame ourselves when you gave a reason for these accusations they have an idea between cases of doping out that now there have been such cases in other countries but they're not surrounded by politicized so there's no doubt that there is a political motivation behind it it's the people that we know that there is a pull. motivation we know that the u.s. and great britain have been pushing to keep russia out of the olympics and in the end the world anti-doping agency said that they found no evidence of state
11:07 am
sponsorship of doping and also no evidence that ninety five of the ninety six athletes who wore you know alleged to have doped they found no age evidence that they actually had so obviously this is politicized and again this is only going to increase tensions between the united states and russia which i believe is not good for anyone. else for the world today at least seventeen palestinians have been injured in another round of clashes in the west bank is really please to use tear gas against crowds throwing stones there overnight on wednesday israeli forces say they also decide to do rockets fired from gaza this thursday march thirtieth anniversary of the hamas group but it seemed thousands of people celebrating in gaza israel closes checkpoints in the region for an indefinite period of time since last week when donald trump recognized jerusalem as the capital of israel between the israeli police and palestinian protesters has been stepping up daily.
11:08 am
it destroyed the destroyed like this for the syrian christians the same month seventeen. i think that's a given give it give for the war to give nothing he destroyed. i think doesn't know what is going on and i think he's just he doesn't understand the depth of the problem that he has just created. the leaders of both of nations are calling on the international community to
11:09 am
recognize east jerusalem as the palestinian capital. of islamic cooperation met in response to the u.s. president's heavily criticised move to recognize that ancient city is israel's capital. the us decision on because of its great. historical and permanent rights to the palace. is important i want to point out to ignore some of the distortions and. the united states decision to recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel is a dangerous one it will threaten security and stability and frustrates efforts to resume the peace process the president is committed to this peace process as committed as he has ever been or yet as a mediator all every possible step must be taken to prevent the implementation of this illegal action by the u.s. administration however there is one question that speaks out what factors and no
11:10 am
limits made it possible for the u.s. president to take such an outrageous act and that type of rhetoric that we heard has prevented peace in the past and it's not necessarily surprising to us mickey out of the next explains how donald trump jerusalem decision has affected his global reputation right now. how much time do you think donald trump spent considering his move to recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel a decision which doesn't directly affect anyone apart from the u.s. and its ally but as tremors across the world in ways that washington perhaps didn't see coming the u.s. loses its starring role in the middle east peace process in one swoop the president wait farewell to any hope that the united states can broker a diplomatic solution in the holy land from now on america is unwarranted in the peace process. from now on american mediation between israel and
11:11 am
palestine is out of the question this process is over. the united states has chosen to lose its competency. and disqualifies itself from play in a peaceful process the turkish president takes center stage in the regional resistance to both the us and israel an extraordinary all muslim nations summit is hosted in istanbul by president who wasted no time in calling trump's decision no and void and branding israel a state of terror. are you back in this country israel. patients and terrorism is that what you are defending even more violence and a possible third intifada from nine hundred eighty seven to ninety one and two thousand to two thousand and five the region saw two deadly palestinian uprisings against the israeli occupation known as the into fargas now we could be on the
11:12 am
verge of a third slaughter in the name of our. masters called on the palestinian people to face the israeli occupation and adopt the blessid into fodder against that and the hateful and racist recognition of jerusalem and to american rivers. says it's decision the palestinian people who are involved in a continuous battle and into fodder against the israeli occupation and we are calling for it to be asking late in the west bank occupied jerusalem and the gaza strip against the occupation is on a little over a week since trump announced his decision on the tide has turned to a tsunami a potential natural disaster no one was ready for i do think we will see more of what we've been seeing so far and whether we're with the rock throwing and demonstrations and unfortunately something people being killed whether this results in a in a another what they call a third intifada i don't think we have any way of knowing if there's anything that
11:13 am
may happen it's it's somewhat counter intuitive i think it will be taken by most of the regional countries and also by the europeans as indication that they can't trust the united states they don't trust american leadership and in a way in in the guise of reasserting american leadership i think mr trump has actually made us more irrelevant to developments in the region and in some ways has lessened american influence in the region. despite the international backlash over trump's decision the u.s. secretary of state though says it could take years for any concrete actions to follow i went on to add that the american embassy to israel can actually stay in tel aviv to the end of trump's presidency. u.k. court has found that spanish troops were in breach of human rights conventions and that they abused civilians during the iraq war it's got speed on this is new announces he can sit here with more on the ruling highness what triggered this
11:14 am
investigation and brought the case of the high court in the first place. well kevin these are very important cases and this is an important ruling that the high court has delivered here in london today specifically we have seen four iraqi citizens being awarded damages in cases against the actions of the ministry of defense during the iraq war and the way these people were detained now the court has decided that these four iraqi citizens are going to be awarded eighty four thousand pounds with thirty thousand going to just one of those men and the reason for this is the judge has ruled that the actions of british troops in the way they were detaining these people were in violation of geneva conventions as well as the human rights act citing cruel and inhumane treatment as well as unlawful detention the judge has said that these assaults quote involved the gratuitous infliction of pain and humiliation for the amusement of those who perpetrated them and quote we have to say that this comes just ten days after the international criminal court found
11:15 am
quote reasonable basis to understand that british troops might have been involved in war crimes when it comes to detaining iraqi citizens and the reason this this ruling is important today is because it's seen as a kind of test cases to see how similar claims could be handled in the future moving forward and there are over six hundred claims such as these currently ongoing and we have to keep in mind that also over three hundred claims were settled out of court by the ministry of defense who had paid out as much as twenty two million pounds and we do know that when it comes to this latest ruling the ministry of defense have said that they are studying this judgment. from the appreciated if you stay with us for the next fifteen minutes or so on that story of the bridge from the u.k. as well rebellious lawmakers the. major. to the already strained talks just ninety seconds away.
11:16 am
this manufacture consent to stick to the public well. when the ruling classes protect themselves. with the fine. be the one percent. nor middle of the room six. trump benefit. very much from the existing plurality system because he was so different from the other candidates if you took any one of those mainstream candidates and you put him in
11:17 am
a head to head contest with trump. that other candidate might well have won. i guess so british conservative lawmakers have given privatised the trees i'm a brick sit bruising after voting to give parliament the final say over any deal struck on leaving the e.u. eleven rebels within their own party broke ranks to give him pays the power to veto any agreement and breaks it. a meaningful vote a meaningful vote a meaningful vote article fifty has a deadline the date has been served we are leaving at the end of march and when the deadline runs out we leave leaving the european union and we should say no parliament taking back control extends the article fifty dead lie before we leave
11:18 am
the european union amendments servant is floor is just my view the worse it will be unproductive negotiations to drag things out drag out the negotiations to delay project for months and months and months scrutinize what's of the government is doing proper scrutiny this is not the moment to try and defeat or go through. in the well it's pretty eighteen months since the referendum saw fifty two percent of voters choose to leave the european union or the poll showed a sharp divide between britain's regions that wanted to remain it was only in march this year that the government finally kick started this whole long exit process and the often strained negotiations with brussels which followed now quick to comment on what happened last night opposition leader jeremy corbin he said concert of m.p.'s have delivered a humiliating loss of authority for the government now and the power is now back in the hands of parliament earlier though the prime minister was claiming that the
11:19 am
government strategy was on track but their words were met with much approval. but there is there is i believe a new sense of optimism now and that's what i i and the we will. set out in the european council this. treason may my two secured a better result in the house of commons had she not lost her party's majority in that snap election gamble there live this year she only managed to stay in power with a one billion pound deal with the northern irish democratic unionist party some of the westminster watches we've spoken to believe right now to resume a can no longer overlook the deep divisions within her own party. a humiliation and historically governments don't tend to last very long after after they get defeated at the hands of their own backbenchers to i think it shows that think that the government government is really up for grabs and it really demonstrates how
11:20 am
insincere the conservatives were in their promise that they would. vote on the final deal to parliament because if they were sincere why would they be so determined even at the risk of a parliamentary just defeat to resist making this into a legally binding commitment on wednesday facebook handed over its findings to the british government on alleged russian influence on the platform in the run up to the big vote and it seems the prize to sway the referendum cost less than a cup of tea. chief among those today of course is russia but it is russia's actions russia's illegal annexation of crimea so i have a very simple message for russia because we know there's a strong and prosperous russia and russia has the reach and the responsibility.
11:21 am
in the way it was given the widespread public concern over foreign and particularly russian interference in western democracies. this house but the government and the electoral commission will examine these reports very carefully and reassure our country that all of the resources spent in the referendum to push through permissible sources.
11:22 am
one of the issues is that many of the claims have been made by fairly prominent journalists i mean if you look at the u.k. debate for example the observer newspaper has been particularly active at pushing this idea and that really has forced politicians to have to at least be seen to be investigating the issue of course those initial media stories at least in my view were. faves. it's been polite but the evidence was incredibly dubious but yeah i mean i am sure that voters will be asking the court that question as to why is resource being plowed into this type of investigation. it should have been spent elsewhere. next an elderly woman in a small russian turns proving that the internet is indeed for everybody she served like a pro at the age of one one hundred. too
11:24 am
little flavor. you. can't beat a good old shoe to kill you before i leave you for the next four years u.s. lawmakers we're hearing are going to have the final say later thursday on whether to screw up so-called net neutrality could significantly alter the web experience for millions of people it could potentially allow internet providers to charge extra to prioritize their traffic effectively that if you make creating a slowdown for smaller websites here's how it works people across the web through the access the web through their internet service providers not the moment the companies have to treat all online traffic equally but the u.s.
11:25 am
federal communications can. says that's preventing websites for investing trillions of dollars in the services so if the net neutrality rules the scrap piece would then be free to charge a premium to prioritise certain apps and services stepped forward and what do you think hundreds of people gathering outside the f.c.c. is h.q. in washington d.c. today to protest today's vote which could spell the end for equal rights on lines big thing that's going to speak to that. in the u.s. for us hey there samir and i say what is the general mood among the crowd happy about this or not. oh well they're actually set to vote in a few minutes but protest protests have been raging on all week and they actually camped out here last night so you can imagine how dedicated they are to sleep here in the cold but they say that they seek to protect their digital civil rights and ensure equal access to the internet but these online democracy defenders are
11:26 am
actually not without allies that keep ellison spoke today representative of minnesota and maxine waters who is known as the resistance she also spoke out against repealing the net neutrality but i actually spoke to protesters about this yesterday so let's see what they had to say. five k. you see what do i know you say i can't you see you really that's the big problem here it's these giant p.c. to think that they have they should have all the advantage and all the decisions to make about what should be content and it should be a public utility and especially in the twenty first century when you have a lot of communication skills that need to be improved and taught in schools the internet is essential for from your job having a portfolio doing anything you can to get information. a five page you see we want to be. part of democracy to have people
11:27 am
communication people access. communication not just the privileged and the super rich have every advantage in a so called democracy this is going to shut out a lot of small businesses small websites and prevents. voices heard in red meat from hearing the small voice. well the f.c.c. meeting is currently underway and they're right about to vote so we're anxiously waiting for the results so we'll keep you updated with any developments all right then we'll go along to keep us posted throughout the evening as we were there in d.c. thanks and thank you for watching two. stories twenty four seventh's kevin and saying good night for the night back same time tomorrow i mean catch with an ati h.q. mccullagh in the nails here in thirty minutes for the latest news update programs continue after the break.
