at least seventeen people have been killed. with billboards in. european cities. in russia on the program hey we look at the group behind the. papers please.

every. international thanks for joining us on this saturday. at least seventeen the palestinians have been killed and over a thousand injured in clashes with israeli soldiers on the gaza border that's according to the u.n. . the u.n. secretary general calling for an independent investigation into the deaths. of demonstrators.

yeah you will return as a demonstration denouncing israeli occupation thousands of palestinians have pitched tents across five locations where they're expected to stay for six weeks in response i.d.f. soldiers have stationed more than one hundred overlooking the area a local journalist who has been following the clashes along the gaza border. where you are 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 heaps and trying to tie get to the protesters that are being very close to the front by lies i mean nation rubber bullets and the tear gas canisters but they are using god new updated in the below weapons as you see this is the good guys by the joan and by the israeli i mean i think they are using the trial rather tear gas canisters on the

protesters and this is like but didn't find their using get. the beginning of the day to night he let them live means he really had just read aloud from that the un gas canisters that went throughout all the protests are just right now and as you see everyone is trying to take this is the way to do that i'm willing to go to the hospital directly policy we are going to stay here for more than forty five days until the fifteenth of may because i baby leave that they have the return they have the right to return to their land they have the right to stay here and they won't go away they won't go home until they go back to their original to their homeland and to their towns the west bank city of ramallah is also witnessing a violent standoff with i.d.f. soldiers shooting at palestinian stone throwers palestinian president mahmoud abbas has declared saturday a national day of mourning and we spoke exclusively to the senior political leader

of the palestinian movement hamas here's how he described the situation. all those killed were from gaza what these rallies did is a crime against unarmed civilians who just want to return to their villages and towns and who have a right to under the nine hundred forty eight un resolutions or these really is are displaying the kind of fear seen in a thief who is trying to protect what he stole and this is how they treat civilians who just want to return home. however israel blamed what are called violent riots on hamas which it views as a terrorist organization the country's army said they would respond to any threat to israeli sovereignty as well as responding to any damage to the security fence. was. ahead of a mass protest the palestinian farmer was killed by an israeli tank shell his relatives say he was harvesting possibly one kilometer from the israeli border

before dawn thousands marched on the streets of gaza as his body was carried the israeli military says it was aware of the reports but it claimed the tank fire was directed towards people who approached the fence and were acting suspiciously. jamal juma from the anti wall and settlements movement things israel's heavy handed response to the palestinian demonstrations is disproportionate. does a very strong message to the international community this monitor and this gathering. march is a peaceful month there's razor pushing a lot of military on the on that areas and they are them and they are shooting at the people so the one who's using the violence that means them is but what is this that you military the kid about the palestinians life they don't see the palestinians that and they are sure that the art of crime that they are doing that is keeping with it because they are immune by this international system but it could be the united states and and the arab countries that the silence there and

the arab countries that do normalization with israel and do allies with israel no. sport is becoming ever more embroiled in politics with billboards now appearing in european cities calling for a boycott of the summer's fee for world cup in russia here's our team's jaclyn vote . the beautiful game takes an ugly turn to international friendlies this week in europe were hit with less than friendly billboards outside the stadiums the campaign also has an online petition against what it dubs the cup of shame and its site probably boasts that the u.k. has announced ministers won't be attending of course it fails to mention that britain's decision has nothing to do with the situation in syria whatsoever and it carefully ignores what moscow's presence has contributed when it comes to the fight against terrorism in syria including deescalation zones and humanitarian corridors but i digress of oz and online global activism network is behind both the billboards and the petition and this is how they describe their aims a virus is

a global organization with a simple democratic mission closed the gap between the world we have in the world most people everywhere want their campaigns cover everything from saving elephants and bees to much more controversial topics like gun control in america and stopping the far right from taking power in europe so clearly they don't shy away from politics and when it comes to syria their position is crystal clear assad and by extension russia bad u.s. coalition and white helmets good and fact according to their site of oslo has raised over two million dollars to help the white helmets but as we've reported before the group isn't exactly what they might appear to be.

with some forty six million members worldwide and sixteen available languages on their website they make clicked of is an extremely. easy weather causes animal rights global warming or the children in syria as an organization they're very deeply imbedded into american establishment into the corporate world and into the political ruling elite world in america and so we've seen over far as used to weaponized as an instrument of war for example the petition was put forward for example against libya they were calling for a no fly zone we've also seen them for example supporting the alleged chemical

weapon attacks to demonize the syrian government and to accused russia of supporting so why don't they launch a petition that is calling for another fly zone or a petition that is demonizing one particular side in a conflict it is recently linked to that humanitarian aspect now of off takes pride in saying they're one hundred percent member funded meaning that their agenda is not and cannot be swayed by anyone with deep pockets or special interests but at the same time they also acknowledge that they were founded by two advocacy groups who received major funding from george soros a well known supporter of liberal political causes and through one of those companies sources open society foundation specifically funneled money to of us so while p.r. stunts politicizing sports are nothing new with this stunt in particular some are now crying foul. the u.s. state department could require a visa applicants who want to visit america to reveal information about the social media accounts they've used over the last five years is our correspondence america

. but 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 they want to be done your social media activity 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 with the same for americans who risk getting twenty eight to brings out every single one of my six thousand seven hundred fifty four tweets one 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 trumps inflammatory twitting could have gotten himself banned from traveling abroad. political activist christian man sarah says the state department's proposal should have only limited applicability. this new idea by trying may work in terms of black going after people that the american embassies in

the local countries know are either terrorists or out you know times to organized crime or to narcotics trafficking and this will probably serve a purpose but the embassies will have to have special personnel that we have to check these social media sites because this will take forever so i think this is something that must be considered because i don't believe they're going after social media or the private lives of citizens then in most part and very good people will serve the purpose of limiting the incoming immigrants that are coming to us now in terms of vetting and making sure that the right people come to know that states there are other measures that could be taken but not going after social media because this will definitely have a very very damaging effect not only on tourism but also on social media outlets that promote freedom of speech and the ability of people to share their lives with their loved ones and friends first of all of the tax privacy in the tanks the freedom of speech. block chain cryptocurrency is

a becoming increasingly important to relief efforts in puerto rico where one hundred thousand people are still without power following twenty seven panes hurricane maria today puerto rico is set to receive twenty five thousand dollars from bitcoin entrepreneurs polities that mackellar process i.d.r. go spoke with some of the innovators. puerto rico has received an influx of washington innovators who pledged to transform the region after hurricane rita's devastating damage what i'm hoping happens is a lot of people come to puerto rico and they take a look around wow. place a little bit of these people are amazing and they're so nice and so there's so much culture that's so beautiful here why is it that that things are so difficult why are why are there such struggles maybe i can make a difference maybe i can help with this company those are three consecutive conferences detainee's last chance down and point agenda we're all working together to build a community of the future give back to the people of puerto rico say we're going to

install five different solar solar set ups of a power it's a whole new. water change stems from a ten year old incorporated company and is going to washington d.c. centralized water by creating a system of sensors automating water treatment and recycling process that shows puerto rico and teamed up with the restart league for its first systems implementation was a country that recycles the most water. you telling israel of course eighty percent recycling rate the next one down in the world to spain with twenty percent whereas the us. one percent. here's the worst part of it eighty percent of all water in the world is not treated it's just runs into the ocean so a trillion dollar water industry should be a five trillion dollar water industry and we anticipate that what happened with plants is that a part of that problem it's

a part of the problem because the water infrastructure in the u.s. is literally falling apart it's whole and what's happening is forced decentralization with the towns musicality by telling the users you clean your own water well i see that as an opportunity because we can get those users to adopt the very best technologies and reuse their will. you know long before we do that we want to get to work right away here but we're not going to wait to build all this structure we're just going to go ahead with the investment to literally put shovels in the ground and build the system right here right this more or less. operate. you know remember that you're building you need. for the future. with wesley snipes. the. only. one are.

still to come on the program international today. accused of. conducting an internal investigation that's in the mix so if you. just. didn't look for the perpetrators they were covering. who did. the rest of the world. when you have no clean water no health care no infrastructure.

problem a. problem is a. problem. that haiti has had to deal with. the first. black people since. good to have you with us today an impending independent autopsy of an unarmed black man who was fatally shot by police in the united states in the city of sacramento in california earlier this month it's all found out he was shot in the back and the victim's family lawyer says that contradicts the police officers claim that he was advancing towards them and what happened was not clear from the body count video

released earlier this month. thanks. fight at twenty two year old stuff twenty times saying afterwards that they had mistaken his phone for a gun they were responding to a call about someone breaking windows a clock was shot in his grandmother's backyard and the officers involved were placed on paid administrative leave the case has outraged locals with protests happening almost every day since the day of this shooting. in a series of protests demonstrators have blocked highways and twice just drop to the nearby and be a basketball game today off the clock funeral block lives about to activists again block the streets called for justice and punishment for those responsible and we spoke to former georgia state representative la dorn jones who says improperly trained police officers are not being held to account. the ideas that

african-americans are automatically committing crime are in the foundation of our system and their choir's training the right kind of training now this on how to shoot or when to shoot deescalating but then also with training inherent biases that police officers may have in this country and it's within their systems and we need to look at both in order to try to stop these types of horrific events but we have to look at the train of events that has happened in the past where many officers are not being indicted or they are let off and that's because our law has a very huge loophole and determine allowing officers who have a fear and looking at their subjective belief of fear in determining whether they are guilty or not in their actions and the only other place to hold them accountable is that through the police departments making them lose their jobs but it's very hard to have the police police the police. n.g.o.s group the german society for international cooperation aka gies has started

and an internal probe it's offered was accused of fostering a culture of anti semitism and the allegation comes from israel's and geo monitor which reports on the work of other n.g.o.s several d's employees have made controversial facebook posts for example one reads i hate israel another post is a satirical drawing and we spoke to a representative of n.g.o.s monitor about this case. what is really shocking about the pows were put online by least eleven employees of. german federal agency that implemented projects on behalf of the german government is basically the fact that you have employees german employees representing the government spreads violent anti-semitic and it's not even enter israel this is israel hatred posts really over the years without being sanctioned and this is all the while under very high level of german government the message has been very clear we

identify that there is a rise in anti-semitism and we will fight it and israel incremental part of foreign policy its existence its safety and relationships with israel. itself is denied any accusations of anti-semitism however it's worth noting that the organization employs almost one hundred fifty staff members in the palestinian territories it's only right gideon levy says that it's important to distinguish and medics sentiments from israel one. it's again and again this notion that any critic of is is immediately perceived in israel as anti semitism and that's a very efficient way to release ourselves from any attack to or to to look to be accountable for anything mainly media in the world very very

careful in criticizing israel because they are so scared to belabor this anti semites one should know there isn't the simitis them in the world but not any critique of israelis and this image is them as a matter of fact most of the critics of israel are not anti semites because there is a lot to criticize about israel let's be honest. the city of los angeles is typically associated with celebrities of luxury and fame however it does have been up aside official figures suggest homelessness has increased forty three percent between twenty thirteen and twenty seventeen the l.a. city council is now considering a plan to provide housing for every homeless person in the city here's a closer look at the situation. this is los angeles home to the glitz and glamour of hollywood the city perhaps most synonymous with the american dream. but this is

also well a. bit more but here night every doorway there's a moment even if it down the street many of them live in skid row in downtown l.a. which has long been considered the center of homelessness in the city whose rock you've. probably. had never seen. it seems that they're on track and something decent. gets down to leave before. filming on skid row was no easy task while some were eager to share their stories others understandably didn't want to be filmed. or. you know start. counting down to protect our dead. so what is hollywood doing the authorities have taken

a heavy handed approach to l.a.p.d. and law enforcement are regularly called on to clear the homeless from the streets while arrests in the city declined fifteen percent between two thousand and eleven and two thousand and sixteen arrests of homeless people by the l.a.p.d. were up thirty one percent. moer arrived in los angeles a week before we spoke to him he once co owned a restaurant in florida but when we met him he was sleeping on the beach. a good you know if you know. extra people love people come with a lot of help going down the. door that all. you get paid for to go. make it happen. it's a humanitarian crisis that we would more typically associate with extremely low income countries and one which provoked. the u.n. special ruppert's tour to see that quote the american dream is rapidly becoming the american illusion. this is our international could if you

spend some of your saturday with us here in moscow more of your world headlines with my colleague andrew fama in about her often hours time. you know when you don't. see the teachers who are. dead a quarter to. two i think is not true only ted's best. mates. let alone they. said. similar claiming to know german it is messy that. you speak french. those of us who want the same thing send them continue.

this busy the council itself this calls. for a world cup twenty eight team coverage we've signed one of the greatest goalkeepers of all time but there was one more question and by the way it's going to be our coach. guys i know you are nervous is a huge star among us and the huge amount of pressure come out you have to be i mean that eighty percent of the problem here with you and do the great british good you are the rock at the back nobody gets past you we need you to get the ball in the way let's go. to a low. and i'm really happy to join for the thousand into the world. russia needs the special one come on both appreciate meets the review beyond the team's latest

this is a sure. to say the prophet muhammad's grandson. when security is stepped up in pakistan because of the heightened risk of terrorist

attacks. themselves with. even with. hundreds of us. fathers teach the press's to sons and so the tradition is passed from generation to generation. on the other side of the world she has just done the goals of these and punchbags them to each other. very corrupt she's roughest neighborhood a very unusual club as a. boxing gloves a girl's. father kept up
