thank you for joining us here at r.t. international coming to you live from moscow i'm kate. more than seventeen palestinians have now been killed in clashes with israeli soldiers on the gaza border the figures were announced by the permanent observer of palestine at riyadh mansoor ahead of an urgent u.n. security council meeting oversize and others are also said to have been injured in the protest the israeli defense forces use life bullets tear gas and drones. but. what. the annual march of return is

a demonstration denouncing the israeli occupation thousands of palestinians have pitched tents across five locations while i.d.f. soldiers have stationed notes on a hundred snipers with the process expected to last six weeks local journalists one who'd area has been following the clashes on the gaza border where the only one hundred meters away from the front as you see we can see the israeli army sniper is you can see the israeli army soldiers to keep said trying to tie get to all of the protesters that are being very close to the fans by live i mean a shed rubber bullets and the tear gas canisters but they are using that to build up day didn't have a low weapons as you see this is the good guys by the drone at by there is really i mean i think still there they are using that drive through that your gas canisters on the protesters and this is like the dance that i'm there using get fundament from my sons. the beginning of the day today i can't hear that live you read

that just right now from that the end gas canisters that were throughout all the protest are just right now and as you see everyone is trying to take this as you might add to that i'm willing to go to the hospital directly. well the west bank city of ramallah is also witnessing a violent standoff with i.d.f. soldiers shooting at palestinians who are throwing stones palestinian president mahmoud abbas has declared saturday a national day of mourning. well earlier the i.d.f. admitted they would respond to what they claim are planned gaza riots they added they fear breaches of israeli sovereignty and damage to the security fence. the. one of the dead is a palestinian farmer killed by an israeli tank shell earlier in the day thousands of mourners marched on the streets of gaza as his body was being carried the twenty

seven year old was harvesting possibly before dawn near the city border when the shell was fired. was to. go. on tuesday ahead of the annual protest i.d.f. soldiers in hebron seized a three year old boy they were filmed kutcher the terrified child as his father attempted to get his son back the i.d.f. deemed the child's actions a provocation as a reporter to try to throw stones at the activist jamal juma believes the israeli side is using and provoking violence. is a very strong message to the international community this monitor and this gathering. march is a peaceful one there's a pushing a lot of military on the on the areas and they are them and they are shooting at the people who don't want. the violence. i was looking you don't care about the palestinians life they don't see the palestinians that and they are

sure that every crime that they are doing god is keeping with it because they are immune by this and commissioner system but the canary the united states and and the arab euro the european countries that the silence there and the arab countries that do normalization with israel and do allies with israel know. the russian foreign ministry has been handed out notes of protest to diplomats from countries that have expelled their russian counterparts the ministry has also informed these representatives of russia's reciprocal measures the u.k. germany sweden several eastern european nations and some baltic states have already confirmed their diplomats have been ordered to leave russia and as he left the foreign ministry germany's ambassador ruediger von frisch stressed the importance of keeping lines of communication open. like i used today's opportunity to outline that it's in german interest to maintain good relations with russia the people in germany and russia understand each other we remain ready and open for died. while

the matter comes after moscow's announcement on thursday that sixty u.s. diplomats would be expelled and the american consulate in st petersburg closed earlier more than twenty countries had expelled russian diplomats with the most being ordered out of the u.s. artie's what our guest if reports. promised russia has responded tit for tat for every russian diplomat kicked out from the two dozen or so countries one of their diplomats will be kicked out of russia almost one of those countries by the way either nato members or hopefuls the united states though may have to charter a jet sixty evidence diplomats have been ordered to leave russia the same number kicked out by washington the u.s. consulate in st petersburg is being closed down in response to the closure of russia's consulate in seattle and mirror spawn's no more no less and again

moscow has called on the united states to stop it is proposed to u.s. authorities inciting in fueling the smear campaign against our country to rethink and curb their reckless actions destroying bilateral relations the sum up russia which denies any role in this poisoning says never before have we witness such mockery of international law it is also convened a special meeting of the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons would be c.w. has sent technical experts to examine the substance with which the former russian double agent and his daughter were poisoned but their best a geisha will be technical. o.p.c. w. explosive arrived in london to analyze the substance used in the alleged poisoning of surrogate and your group oh this will only allow them to distinguish the chemical formula of the substance the o.p.c. w.

technical secret syria doesn't have the mandate to verify the u.k.'s allegations by the way the investigation into the case is due to the u.k. and its allies insist that russia was behind this russia then eyes any such thing and says that this entire earth air is politically motivated. the tension between russia and britain has been escalating for weeks following the poisoning of double agent powell and his daughter junia in the english city of sorcery western countries have been quick to point the finger at moscow despite an ongoing investigation into the case which may take months britain's foreign secretary boris johnson earlier alleged russia has told many lies about the incident and then they said that the attempted murder again you your script i was revenge for britain's supposed poisoning of ivan the terrible and we did it just for the world cup and the reaction the russian embassy called on the british authorities to stop counting

on the official versions of the case instead they urged the u.k. to respond to the very serious questions still unanswered and issued twenty seven of them. were diplomatic standoff threatens to continue escalating as washington says it may respond further to moscow's moves we reserve the right for there to any russian retaliation against the united states so we are reading this we are reviewing it and will respond accordingly i want to remind you that there is no justification

for the russian response and i'm not sure i understand you throughout sixty of their people we don't see this as a diplomatic tit for tat the american diplomats who are being expelled are notch. spies under diplomatic cover i'm saying that they work for the u.s. state department they are our colleagues who have served there with great distinction but you but you're saying that these that your your action was justified there is wasn't because these people are the equivalent of a flag i think we're forgetting what got us to this place essentially you're asking russia to just admit that they did it and and take their punishment be the adult thing to do they're saying that they did it you are in fact asking them to you know admit to something that they say that they did and you know what there's nothing wrong with admit it meeting wrongdoing previously said that i've read the russia just doesn't want to have good relations with other countries i mean this is

unbelievable in a serious matter let a completely unnecessary they serious matter this did not have to get to this point except that that's what britain and the united states want but this is this is about not going through the process due process to investigate a crime and then wait to see what the results are and then mete out punishment if someone is found guilty there's nothing to do with this this is purely political obviously is a political play by the united states and the u.k. and it gets worse and worse and more dangerous and the celera marks by the state department spokesman do not help at all at all and. as we've been hearing the u.s. state department has made serious accusations against russia but they apparently had less to say when jonah started asking questions. i am. not going to get into specifics about that i'm not an expert on that that would probably be an intelligence matter but i have not seen the president's comments

myself. perhaps. you can answer that question you'd have to ask russia why they chose to select st petersburg. act. how much is a lethal dose of know would choke that is a very interesting question i am not an expert. i am not aware of all the phone calls or the contacts that we have had on this campaign if you will. i would just refer you back to the government of israel i don't have any information. as you know the main party on the ground there and when you say leave it to other people that's so lisa i can't comment on what the president supposedly said i haven't seen and i have to refer you back to the white house but you're not aware of any poll she did determination to poor to pull the us out of sight and not know ok so that's why the president is just speaking off the cuff and i don't know i don't know what if they were already back in the white house i'm not a i'm not a where do i need to remind you that i work at what is it twenty five. and i don't

want one and twenty if you want to see i'm still learning the address of. the u.s. state department is also proposing new visa regulations that will require you to reveal your online activity more details on mass after the break. if an insurgent terrorist group enjoys far and sanctuary move no matter how much more lead to be put i show you put on them they will be in one way on to. really hibernated themselves i'm conned by time it will be like counting days i'm not taking down roots i'll. apply for many flips over the years so i know the game inside guides. football

isn't only about what happens on the pitch put the final school it's about the passion from the fans it's the age of the superman each kill the narrowness and spend the trip to twenty million one playa. it's an experience like nothing else on to because i want to share what i think what i know about the beautiful guy a great so well paul chimes with. and thinks it's going to. i. welcome back the saudi crown prince is on a two week tour of the united states has already met donald trump in the white house where lucrative arms deals were on the table results of meeting other key figures among them are space x. chief executive ilan musk up for boss tim cook and microsoft co-founder bill gates

t.v. host and media mogul oprah winfrey's also getting some one on one time with her having been solomon as are the clintons and barack obama but it's not just the democratic party elite former president george w. bush is also meeting the royal well as as well as hanging out with american celebrities and politicians the saudi crown prince is also giving interviews to a number of u.s. media outlets these includes the new york times the wall street journal the washington post the atlantic as well as time and fantasy fair and to coincide with the crown prince's visit a special ninety seven page ad free magazine dedicated to praising the saudi kingdom has hit the shelves of american stores artie's kellett mork and got his hands on a copy. it's slick glossy and a certain government in the arabian peninsula says it has nothing to do with it on newsstands across america you can get copies of the new kingdom it's a magazine all about saudi arabia and how it's

a happy place that's open for business american media incorporated the print conglomerate the published this has a c.e.o. who says that he's actually a personal friend of donald trump now the saudi kingdom says that they had no role in financing it apparently american media into just feels very passionate about global politics we decided to have a chat with legal and media analyst lionel to see what he thinks of the sudden appearance of this pro saudi glossy cell interesting publication we've got here the new kingdom now it talks about how saudi arabia is a key ally of the united states in the fight against terrorism leaves out the fact that they have been supporting extremist groups in syria what you make of that this is not a an encyclopedia of of saudi arabia it's brilliant and most americans will read this and say this is fantastic very frankly i don't think you're going to be seeing too many aspects of a pro saudi arabian glossy talking about the darker sides of the area well sure i

mean it's talks about their romantic landscapes it talks about talks about the beautiful traditional ceremonies doesn't really get into the public beheadings that go on still do you think there's any chance of that i mean i understand that but not only the treatment of women go go through that you know we we've been having lately the comments of saudi arabia with nine eleven you're not going to see this but remember the only way this would ever work is when you have a country as of ours where people know is it a coincidence you think that the crown prince is currently on his two week tour of the united states at the same time this hits the show absolutely not of course. not there's no such thing as a coincidence it's brilliant but look at what's happening look at how he's being presented thirty two year old he's almost like the prince harry young the meeting

with people apparently we remember america loves a rock star if you're trying to win america over this is the way to do it because remember we don't know anything we don't read the we don't know anything about history but just give us a rock star and we're in and out of saudi so they have nothing to do with this coming hour is not nothing to do with it do you buy that i know what you're saying you're saying somehow the national enquirer or somebody benefited maybe in the back and i don't know who am i to say no i think though that for somebody to on their own for no particular reason come up with this extremely expensive look at the quality of this look at the colors of on their own gratuitously just to do it i think that's less than likely this is a very very expensive proposition. misty international has most saudi arabia's p.r. blitz pointing to riyadh's record of human rights abuses. germany

is struggling to deport around sixty five thousand failed asylum seekers because they lack a valid documentation belen doesn't know to which countries it could even return many of these people and he reports. in the famous speech of his new chancellor ship angela merkel couldn't avoid all could be the most controversial me if that's ok for one million migrants into germany. yet she still tries to stick with her

we can do this mantra despite its promise that deportations the kind people who have no right to protection will have to leave our country preferably voluntarily but if necessary by state deportations but that's easier said than done as it tends out safe the number of rejected asylum seekers that can be deported it has jumped up by seventy one percent in one year related thousand according to reports by the german interior ministry seen by major chairmen publishing house funky media this increases from thirty eight thousand in two thousand and sixteen sixty five thousand in two thousand and seventeen reasons behind it swell a lack of travel documents and the lack of communication between chairman thora ts and countries of origin india processing requests for replacement passports is slow or nonexistent despite frequent visits to the embassy pakistan replacement passport

procedures are being processed but there is a lack lebannon replies to requests very rare contact with the embassy is poor. thousands about the constraint even have a country they can be deported to is three thousand eight hundred up perkins nationality is unmarked as unclear in the worst case scenario the failure to deport a rejected asylum seeker can have tragic consequences the man behind the deadly christmas markets attack in bed and in two thousand and sixteen was her check to the silent but she couldn't be deported because he didn't have the documents.

we spec two gets from ng member of parliament from a.f.p. a party which won seats in parliament partly on promises to deal with illegal immigration there are many many plans the new minister or c.e.o. for tries to build up new centers for for speeding up the deportation. we are we are not sure if this will really solve the problem first of all we have to close and control our borders again right now i think we have to enforce the pressure to the people who have to leave our country it's really a big problem and i wonder if the new government will make it well r.t. contacted the german interior ministry for clarification on this issue they didn't respond with a direct answer providing only information on the voluntary we turn east.

now the us state department has proposed new visa regulations that will force applicants to reveal their social media histories artie's samir khan has the details. well if you're looking to apply for a u.s. visa you might need to clean out your social media posts or risk getting rejected these applicants could be asked to turn over their social media history as part of trump's new extreme betting policies now if it does pass applicants will be forced to disclose five years of their social media history and then the information will be used to apparently bet and identify them but the state department says this not might not be it they could even expand the list of required disclosures and if you think that's too intrusive the plan also requires e-mails and phone history well the proposal received a mixed reaction online from people saying it's an attack on privacy and others mocked it as of having to have a visa and passport to travel the world is bad enough how do you want to be done your social media t.v.

well there goes freedom of speech as well as freedom of movement u.s. government we want your social media names in order to get a visa me because freedom of speech is only something the almighty americans get. is only for tourism now the other countries we see for american tourists can't wait to print out every single one of my six thousand seven hundred fifty four tweets one per page and hand them to immigration. the plan could potentially affect about fourteen point seven million people every year a similar policies in the past only applied to people that pose a serious security risk and these new plans are supposedly part of trump's larger counterterrorism policy now some even joked that if other countries had a similar laws in place trump's inflammatory twitting could have gotten himself banned from traveling abroad independent journalist terry gross thinks the bounds of post of privacy are shrinking quickly. well there's always going to be this these arguments between freedom versus security those it's a we have to give

a little bit of our freedoms in order to ensure their security and safety especially in the u.s. we're dealing with because of the nine eleven terror attacks but i think if you look at the situation objectively and you see that sense of nine eleven the u.s. has had a massive increase and surveillance measures and police state like measures and as a journalist i've always had this surveillance increased these steps here going to be able social media whether foreign or americans think it's just another step in that direction of being very intrusive in our lives and the idea of privacy kind kind of going towards you know something of the past a plane belonging to the russian airline myra floats has been searched by bush is that london's heathrow airport they took a has provided no explanation for the incident while arafat's gave us this statement. was there a float expresses frustration that there was not any legal basis for the search no reasons were given during the search of british authorities made the crew leave the

aircraft only the captain of the plane refused to go and stayed and was isolated in his cabin such actions by representatives of the u.k. do not follow international practice and procedures if the british side gives clear reasons and justifications for its actions or a float is ready to work together with british authorities about how and. all the planes qantas said offices claim to be searching for illegal items the search lasted for ten minutes and after is finished no documentation was provided to the crew scotland yard denies its involvement moscow has already called the search a provocation russia's embassy in the u.k. has demanding the explanation but so far received no response. we have witnessed another blatant provocation by the british authorities are attempts to get in touch with the foreign office in order to clarify the reasons of the inappropriate behavior of british officials did not bring fruit of course we will carefully analyze what has happened at this moment we have no other explanation but that the

incident at heathrow is in one way or another connected with the hostile policy that the u.k. government is conducting with regard to russia the european commission has set out a plan to speed up the movement of nato units and equipment across the block the e.u.'s foreign policy chief federica mother ini says it is to prevent the crises more effectively the military alliance wants to remove delays that might be caused by roads and bridges unsuitable for its equipment the e.u. says it will identify weak spots and propose improvements along north sea and baltic groups eastern europe has reportedly seen the biggest military buildup since the end of the cold war.

use new mobility plan comes after a series of problems in terms of during recent nights so trills. well for more news go to aussie dot com otherwise i'll be back at the top of the hour with the latest headlines see that.

the russians are coming for well over the last year and this is the message western

audiences have been served up twenty four seventh's what is behind this hysteria what does this message aim to achieve always russia is supposed to react importantly are we facing a possible conflict. why. her who is writing extensively on environmental issues and social justice issues went to these conferences in puerto rico and her takeaway was that a bunch of people. and this is a danger to the local economy and to the local fabric of society so the first thing that strikes me is that lefties like bail me feel they have a monopoly on good intentions i'm not sure where that comes from. if. enjoys. you know.
