don't want. the violence that. is what gives them. the i don't care about the palestinians life they don't see the palestinians and they are sure that they are growing that they are doing and skipping with it because they are immune by this international system but because every 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 now. the russian foreign ministry has been hammack 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
10:06 pm
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 dialogue. but the measure comes after moscow's announcement on thursday that sixty u.s. diplomats would be expelled and the american consulate in. petersburg closed earlier more than twenty countries had expelled russian diplomats with the most mean ordered out of the us artie's what i guess if reports that 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 all 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
10:07 pm
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 they're investigating will be
10:08 pm
technical. o.p.c. w. experts have arrived in london to analyze the substance used in the alleged poisoning of surrogate ambulance grupo this will only allow them to distinguish the chemical formula of the substance the o.p.c. w. technical secretariat doesn't have the mandate to verify the u.k.'s allegations by the way the investigation into the. it's still going to the u.k. and its allies insist that russia was behind this russia then the eyes any such thing and says that this entire affair is politically motivated. more tension between russia and britain has been escalating for weeks following the poisoning of double agent powell and his daughter yulia in the english city of salzburg 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
10:09 pm
said that the attempted murder again you just reply was revenge for britain's supposed poisoning of ivan the terrible we did it just the world cup well in reaction the russian embassy called on the british authorities to stop counting on official versions of the case and instead they are to the u.k. to respond to serious questions still unanswered and issue twenty seven of them.
10:10 pm
are meanwhile russia's ambassador to the u.s. anatolian tone of hers raise concerns over american intelligence officers trying to influence the country's expel diplomats to act in washington's interests. bosley in new in recent days we have seen how american secret services approach are expel diplomats while they are packing in order to leave the u.s. american intelligence officers are trying to persuade russian diplomats to cooperate by means of sweet promises in appeals but in a fact they're asking them to act in the interest of the us i find this will provoke it in scandalous especially regarding diplomats who did their best to improve the relations between our countries. and the 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
10:11 pm
want to remind you that there is no justification for the russian response and i'm not trying to understand you you guys threw out sixty of their people we don't see this as a diplomatic tit for tat the american diplomats who are being expelled are not. 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 legs 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 don't you know what there's nothing wrong with admit admitting wrongdoing you previously said that i've read the russia just doesn't want to have good relations with other countries i mean this is
10:12 pm
unbelievable in a serious matter led by 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 weed out punishment if someone is found guilty there's nothing to do with this this is purely political obviously a political play by the united states and the u.k. it gets worse and worse and more dangerous and these celera marks by the state department spokesman do not help at all at all and well as we've been hearing the u.s. state department has made serious accusations against russia but they apparently had less to say when this 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
10:13 pm
chose to select st petersburg. act. how much is a lethal dose of know which oh 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 well. i mean 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. to pull the us out of sight and not know ok so 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 aware do i need to remind you that i work at what is it twenty five. and
10:14 pm
i don't want a twenty one see i'm still learning the address. a plane belonging to the russian airline ira flatow has been searched by british authorities that london's heathrow airport the u.k. has provided no explanation for the incident while other thought gave r.t. this statement. 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 on stage 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 justification for its actions or afloat is ready to work together with british authorities. while the plane's captain said officers claimed to be searching for illegal items the search lasted for ten minutes and after it was
10:15 pm
finished no documentation was provided to the crew scotland yard denies its involvement wasco has already called the search a provocation russia's embassy in the u.k. has demanded an 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 will carefully analyze what has happened at this moment we have not the 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. now the saudi crown prince mohammed bin selman is on a two week tour of the united states has already met donald trump at the white house where lucrative arms deals were on the table but he's also meeting other prominent figures. and among them our space x.
10:16 pm
chief executive long mascot apple boss tim cook and microsoft co-founder bill gates t.v. host and media mogul oprah winfrey is also getting some time with the prince as are the clintons and barack obama but it's not just the democratic party elite former president george w. bush is also beating the royal and as well as chatting with american celebrities and politicians the saudi crown prince is also giving interviews to a number of u.s. media outlets and these range from newspapers like the new york times to magazines such as vanity fair and to coincide with the prince's visit a special glossy magazine dedicated to praising the saudi kingdom has hit american shops and dotty's kellam open as 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
10:17 pm
a happy place that's open for business american media incorporated the print conglomerate that 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 of the area well sure
10:18 pm
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 that 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 hey is that 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. it's 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 hipper
10:19 pm
meeting with people apparently we're america loves a rock star if you're trying to win america over this is a way to do it because remember we don't know anything we don't really need 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 out there's no nothing to do with it. i know what you're saying you're saying somehow the national enquirer 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 to get the colors that are on their own grid to it is silly just to do it i think that's less than likely this is a very very expensive proposition well i'm a see international has most saudi arabia's public relations exercise putting two friends record off human rights abuses.
10:20 pm
now germany is struggling to deport around sixty five thousand failed asylum seekers because they lack a valid documentation but doesn't know to which countries they could even return many of these people are to use and each assess the reports. in the famous speech of his new chancellorship and i'm a cold 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
10:21 pm
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 away that's according to reports by the german interior ministry a seen by major german 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 general 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
10:22 pm
procedures are being processed but there is a lack lebannon replies to requests very rare contact with the embassy is poor. thousands about the constraints even have a country they can be deported to as three thousand eight hundred up nationality is a marked out 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 and ben in two thousand and sixteen was a check to the silent but he couldn't be deported because he didn't have the documents.
10:23 pm
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 deportations. we are we're 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 any information on voluntary return nice. 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 up 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
10:25 pm
your social media t.v. well there goes freedom of speech as well as freedom of 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 but independent journalist terry gross thinks the bounds of personal privacy are shrinking rapidly. well there's always going to be this these arguments between freedom versus security those who say you know we have
10:26 pm
to give up a little bit of our freedoms in order to ensure their security and safety especially in the u.s. we're dealing with that all 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 follow this and the surveillance is increased these steps here are going to be able social media whether foreign or americans think is 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 now the investigation of the death of stephen clarke an unarmed black man killed on the eighteenth of march continues as an independent autopsy has showed that f. h. shots from from police which hit him seven were in the back talks family lawyer said that these new findings contradict the police assumption the clock was shot
10:27 pm
because he was charging at the police offices. meanwhile protests resumed in sacramento following the funeral of the dead man on thursday at the movement black lives not streets in the city they called for justice and punishment of those responsible for the incident as well as changes to the justice system former georgia state representative. believes local governments must work to reduce police bias against african americans. but we know at the very foundation of america it was built on the idea that african-americans were not human that they can be enslaved us although we have removed the shackles we know that the ideas that african-americans are automatically committing crime are in the foundation of our system and choir training the right kind of training not this on how to shoot or when to shoot deescalating but then also
10:28 pm
a training on inherent bias is that police officers may have in this country and it's within their system law enforcement is an arm of the government is their responsibility to provide justice and in our constitution that means due process you're innocent until proven guilty and equal protection and what we now know is that african-americans and minorities are treated differently they don't have equal protection when it comes to their opportunity to be heard so we have to rely on our local governments our prosecutors and local state our mayors who appoint police chiefs to make these types of changes but we'll be back in just over half an hour with the latest news but more in the meantime. when you don't see. what they did they could put it. to me not through only ten. let alone.
