what i mean any come within is going to itself with us fully in charge of it not still the question is to us but all yes a chance but us by the west but everyone that we are cracks about with the plots. seventeen people killed and over a thousand. soldiers five bullets and use drones and to gas accusing palestinian demonstrators of inciting violence in the gaza border. american diplomatic staff leaving the u.s. consulate in st petersburg ahead of its official closure on sunday the move comes
10:01 am
amid an escalating standoff over the poisoning of a former double agent in the u.k. and police called the force are springing up in european cities that women are calling for a boy course with this summer's fifa world cup in russia we look at the group behind the campaign. hello welcome is five pm here in moscow you're watching international palestinian protesters have returned to the gaza border a day after seventeen people died and over a thousand were injured in clashes with israeli soldiers the u.n. security general is now calling for an independent investigation into the deaths local journalists and gadhafi has been following the clashes so today's a second day of protest demonstrations and praise for the palestinians palestinians from all over the gaza strip are coming to march through the fence and as you see
10:02 am
we can still see this israeli soldiers nightmares trying to target all of that all of the protesters who are coming near the fence and palestinians protesters are holding palestinian flags and are trying to put them near the fence yesterday eight thousand of hundreds of palestinians were on the same field that israeli army used to i mean nation live bullets and tear gas. was. and for the first time there's really i mean use the drone to throw tear gas canisters and that and the protesters anticipate them. where the annual march of return is a demonstration denouncing the use reilley occupation of palestinians have pitched tents across five locations where they are expected to stay for another six weeks in response the israeli defense forces have stationed more than one hundred snipers
10:03 am
overlooking the area we spoke exclusively to the senior political leader of the palestinian political movement mass and here's how he described the situation with early mother of all those killed were from gaza what the israelis 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 u.n. resolutions these really is are displaying the kind of fear seen in a thief who's trying to protect what he's stolen this is how they treat civilians who just want to return home. or hamas has confirmed that five of those killed were members of its military wing israel blamed its violent response on how mass which it uses a terrorist organization we asked the israeli prime minister's foreign media spokesperson david kay's whether the i.d.f. response is proportionate. blood stone thrown at someone's head can kill them as has happened in the past but there is no reason for someone to be twenty meters
10:04 am
away from the fence and if you look at the pictures you see people. trying to infiltrate a peaceful protest this is an art we know what peaceful protest looks like and they don't involve people taking guns and shooting at the other side namely israelis this can start this can stop this very second all it requires is for hamas to say don't approach the fence and don't try to storm into israel by the thousands and start shooting missiles and gunfire at israelis the moment that all of this goes away. american diplomatic staff are leaving the u.s. consulate in st petersburg ahead of its official closure on sunday this comes after moscow announced on thursday the expulsion of sixty u.s. envoys and assure them of the diplomatic compound it's a reciprocal response to washington's decision to expel the same number of russian diplomats and close the country's consulate in seattle this latest tit for tat
10:05 am
comes amid a growing diplomatic crises over the poisoning of double agents powell or new case oil britain has so far failed to provide any evidence of russia's guilt nevertheless london blames russia for the attack and over twenty countries have expelled moscow's diplomats in solidarity with the u.k. and response russia has taken similar moves into seeing against those states where it. joins us now in the studio just to bring us up to date a lot happening meant just go through the latest for us well there was the response to it for tat response in which all those countries that kicked out russian diplomats and those two dozen odd countries almost one of the nato members. seeking to become media members but russia's response was for every russian diplomat kicked out one of their diplomats was kicked. out of russia but they've gone further now with respect to the united kingdom with great britain because
10:06 am
they've asked more of their diplomats to leave in addition to the two dozen kicked out as part of this tit for tat response the reasoning here is that it was great britain that began this whole anti russian campaign which went international which went to all these countries and said look stand and solidarity with us kick out russian diplomats because of this. alleged assassination attempt which we believe was done at the request of the russian government that on the orders of the russian government the russians are again they've denied any role in this attack they've said that we had nothing to do with that and this is entirely unfair this is undeserved you've given no proof you've shown nothing yet one hundred of our diplomats have been kicked out from around the world and this is part of russia's
10:07 am
response so russia is saying now that more british diplomats must leave so that there is parity so that the number of russian diplomats in the united kingdom and the number of british diplomats and russia is equal the same number of diplomats both countries and also serves as russia's response to great britain not for kicking out its diplomats but for unfurling this huge anti russian campaign and also tension elsewhere to see we're understanding not just in the political arena concerning diplomats well the view incident with the russian jet russian jet passenger jet arrived in in london and against all protocols say the russians it was searched it was searched by british law enforcement first we had the police say that you know we have nothing to do with this this isn't us. the british media then went on and began accusing russia of starting
10:08 am
a scandal over nothing and then it emerged that indeed this jet was searched and the british even said that it was searched as part of an effort a campaign to stop illegal weapons smuggling and illicit goods smuggling they search the jet top to bottom and what struck the russians is that they tried to do this against all protocol without the captain present the u.k. representatives try to inspect the plane with the crew being present on board which is strictly prohibited by the relevant regulations only off to the arrival of an embassy official and link to negotiations was the pilots allowed to be present during the inspection the u.k. representatives refused to provide any documents that would specify the reason for the search its legal basis and the results. but this is an incident is
10:09 am
just the latest nail in the coffin of russian english russian british relations because they have been degrading rapidly and there's been an increasing you know rhetorical battle being waged with both sides accusing each other unseemly behavior of aggression unfriendly acts and we're in a spiral where in a spiral and it doesn't look like there's an easy way out or any time soon ok thanks maria there was a gas there thank you. billboards have started appearing in european cities calling for a boycott of this summer's faithful world cup in russia artesia takes a closer look now at the group behind the campaign. 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 that site probably boasts that the u.k.
10:10 am
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 that 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
10:11 am
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 it to some 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
10:12 am
political ruling elite world in america and so we've seen over used or 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 an hour fly zone or petition that is demonizing one particular side in a conflict it is immediately 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 they're one of those
10:13 am
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 because you want to visit america to reveal information about the social media accounts they've used for over the last five years so america has more. 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
10:14 am
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 belief for tourism no the other countries will see american tourists can't wait 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 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
10:15 am
a similar laws in place trump's inflammatory twitting could have gotten himself banned from traveling abroad so american reports and without he we're going to take a quick break we'll be back to. this. is writing extensively on. on environmental issues and social justice issues went to these conferences in puerto rico and her take away was that a bunch of rich people all showed up 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 they only feel they have a monopoly on good intentions which i'm not sure where that comes from.
10:16 am
yes scotland yard did not look for the perpetrators they were covering their tracks you know. dear dearest here the year they were free didn't russia who did it and personal are think it was you who did. you want russia to clash with the rest of the world. hello again almost four thousand people have now returned to their homes in series aleppo according to the russian defense ministry the city was liberated by russian and syrian forces fifteen months ago since then many refugees have come back to their time what is life in aleppo begins to get back to normal hundreds of christian worshippers attended the good friday mass and procession in the city to
10:17 am
mark the beginning of easter present say that after seven years of brutal conflict i finally feel safe in their hometown. balester naturally apple became safe and there were no more clashes in mortars we came back and we're happy here it's easter happy easter. he is saying god finally we've been able to visit our true truce and hold religious rituals we've had enough in seventy years now it is safe and peaceful we can do everything freely. however elsewhere in syria the humanitarian situation still remains catastrophic some ninety five thousand civilians returned to the city of racker after it was retaken by u.s. led forces half a year ago but they still live in dire conditions with almost all infrastructure destroyed no access to running water and other basic necessities for straight people have begun an uprising against u.s. backed rebel forces the russian military has reported well let's get some thoughts in now with the risky middle east expert and joins us now hello to you earlier good
10:18 am
afternoon we were talking about rocca there and that was liberated half a year ago why does the humanitarian situation there remain so bad. well i think that shows the limits of american strategy the situation remains so bad because basically you know the americans i don't think they put together a long term strategy for the day after that was a situation if you recall when the bush administration invaded iraq at that time it was also said that the bush administration didn't have any plans for the day after and that led to all out chaos which iraq suffered greatly from now i think in the uk are we can say the same you have this american strategy you know using military force in a certain way without a clear planning for the day after so which so i think it reflects a short vision from the american side that's that's what i think it shows
10:19 am
so you know i think that basically used is a situation and i think it will remain so for the foreseeable future in the show so it's not just a question of time then if people getting their sort of thoughts together and perhaps resources together to help rebuild the city you just think it's a clear lack of planning on the sort of the day after. exactly yesternight that's i think was something which we've become accustomed to in american policy you know americans are i think they do suffer a great problem when it comes to long term black planning long term strategic vision many of the i think many don't know the region very well many of those who are in poland political positions in the consecutive administrations that don't know this region very well and that. leads to the great repercussions he leads to
10:20 am
suffering first and foremost from the for the peoples of this region so that i think that's basically the way i see it and if you compare that to the other approaches for example you mentioned the way things are getting back to normal over there. that's because you know the planning i think for the day after was or was a lot more appropriate and it's also because the syrian government i think it knows it knows its areas very well it knows what the situation is on the ground that's contrary to an outside play of like the u.s. coming in which isn't very familiar with the situation and when one isn't very familiar with the situation on the ground as i said that doesn't spell out very well for you know the people living there and for the for the stability in general and is that just an assumption that should be american forces or the u.s. led coalition that should rebuild rakhal always there are some reason why perhaps the syrian government syrian army can try and start rebuilding itself
10:21 am
i'm sorry could you repeat that question sure the responsibility for rebuilding racket who should it lie with. the responsibility of the responsibility for rebuilding anywhere not just about anywhere in syria should lie with the syrian government what i mean to say is that if any foreign power or a foreign companies want to come in and rebuild the car that should be with the approval of the syrian government so the syrian government should be the one to oversee any process of reconstruction we have heard for example that you know chinese companies want to comment on the syrian government is working for example of chinese role in reconstruction so it should be you know as i said the syrian government which has the main say in rebuilding anywhere inside syria but you know as you are familiar with this situation in today's world is very different from
10:22 am
what it should be you know there are no international principles no international law which we choose being abided by and that's why we see all of these violations happening all over the place early local was good to see that was any risk middle east expert thank you thank you. hundreds of people have gathered on the streets of the french city of nuns to protest against the expulsion of environmental squatters. reports from the demonstration. oh. hundreds of people have come out to protest here in nuns against the decision to expel some of those artists who live in not shut down due lines they've made this place their home this was our place of land that was came up for
10:23 am
a possible airport the french government decided early this year that he would not be building that airport but it has said that it wants to expel all of the ses on a case by case basis from this land these people are here to argue against that decision say they will defend their right to live in that area is not to be down the land and they will do everything possible within their power to defend their right to live that other groups have also come out to show their support fool the scientists who are expecting that expulsion to take place in the next few weeks think of going to give them grace until the end of the winter period to leave the so it's many still remain and many are expecting clashes with the police this week and later on in april as the police start to try and expel them show on the t.v. screen r.t. notes. in other news an independent autopsy of an unarmed black man who was fatally
10:24 am
shot by police in the u.s. city of sacramento early this month this found that he was shot in the back the victim's family lawyer says it contradicts the police officers claim that he was advancing towards them what happened isn't clear from the body cam video that was released. thank you. where police fired at twenty two year old stefan twenty times saying afterwards that they had mistaken his phone for a gun they were responding to a call about someone breaking windows clock was shot in his grandmother's backyard the officers involved were placed on paid administrative leave and the case is outraged with protests happening almost every day since the day of the shooting in a series of protests demonstrators have blocked highways and twice disrupted in nearby n.b.a. basketball the day after clarke's funeral black lives matter activists again broke
10:25 am
the streets they called for justice and punishment for those responsible we spoke to former georgia state representative for the dawn jones who says that him properly 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 fire training the right kind of training now this on how to shoot or when to shoot deescalating but then also our training our inherent bias is that police officers may have in this country and it's within their system then 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 of 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 it through the police departments making them lose their jobs but it's very hard to have the police police the police. now cryptocurrency is
10:26 am
becoming increasingly important to relief efforts in puerto rico at the moment where one hundred thousand people are still without power following twenty seventeen's hurricane maria today puerto rico we're set to receive twenty five thousand dollars from call an entrepreneur's will artie's because france santiago spoke to some of them. 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 lots of people come to puerto rico and they take the route our. places the police 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 in the hills of three consecutive conferences detainee's last chance and point agenda we're all working together to
10:27 am
build a community of the future give back to the people of puerto rico today we're going to install a five different solar solar set up surveying power to hold. 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 study for its first systems implementation with 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 the
10:28 am
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 markets holds and what's happening is forced decentralization with the towns a municipality these are 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 way. no long before we build that we want to get to work right away here that's what we're not going to wait to build all these structures we're just going to go ahead and use some of your the investment to literally put shovels in the ground and build the system right here right now this is more or less all my talks of moron operate the integrity. arm remember that you're building. stay tuned for more believe future important good western snipes max keiser the promise of crystal rose and much only on the toll on our team.
