11:02 am
scene there israeli army used to i mean nation live bullets and tear gas. and for the first time there israeli army used a drone to throw tear gas canisters and that on the protesters and to separate them from the annual march of return is a demonstration denouncing the israeli occupation thousands 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 overlooking the area we spoke exclusively to the senior political leader of the palestinian political movement and his describe the situation. 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
11:03 am
towns have a right under the nine hundred forty eight u.n. resolutions these really is are displaying the kind of fears seen in the thief was trying to protect what is stolen this is how they treat unarmed civilians who just want to return home while hamas has confirmed that five of those killed were members of its military wing israel blamed its response on hamas which is a terrorist organization we asked the israeli prime ministers for media spokes person david whether the i.d.f. response is proportionate. large stone thrown at someone's head and killed them as has happened in the past but there is no reason for someone to be twenty meters away from the fence and if you look at the pictures you see people directly are 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 the israelis but this can stop this can stop this very second all it requires is for hamas to
11:04 am
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 this all of this goes away. in other news tonight american diplomatic staff leaving the u.s. consulate in some petersburg ahead of its official closure on sunday this comes after moscow announced on thursday be expulsion of sixteen u.s. envoys and the shutdown 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 when this latest tit for tat comes amid a growing diplomatic crisis over the poisoning of double agents. on u.k. soil britain is 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. in response russia has taken similar moves against those states let's get more
11:05 am
information on what's happening here with. joins us in the studio we mentioned there particularly the u.s. diplomats but a lot of british diplomats on the way to where this is part of russia's response to the mirror response for every russian diplomat expelled from great britain the united states and two dozen or other countries most of them either need two states or countries that are seeking to doing nato for every russian diplomat expelled russia is expelling one of those countries that provides. from russia in the case with great britain twenty three diplomats have been expelled but it doesn't end there russia's also. the u.k. to reduce its diplomatic staff in russia by an additional fifty this is so that the number of russian diplomats in great britain and the number of british diplomats in russia is the same so to establish parity this is i suppose you could
11:06 am
say a punitive measure for great britain's role in this entire affair it was london that launched this campaign that went to these countries and convinced them to kick out russian diplomats and russia sees this is unjust and unfair because there's been no evidence no proof of russian involvement in this attempted assassination attempt in great britain and this tension is extending elsewhere to isn't it i mean we had an incident involving an aeroflot plane in london yesterday also just tell us about that well this is this is all part of it part of this degradation in relations russian passenger jet that had arrived in london was unexpectedly without warning and without reason searched by british authorities at first there is confusion because nobody admitted to the search the met police said that we wanted well involved they even tweeted about it the british press started saying that russia
11:07 am
was making much ado about nothing the scandal out of nothing disbelieved the rumors that the jet was being searched however it turned out that there was in fact the search going on and the russians say went against all protocol. the u.k. representatives tried 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 of the russian foreign ministry has come out and said that this is you know outrageous and just another example of the depths that things of have sunk to there's there's a spin tit for tat you know diplomatic exchanges aside from all the expulsions
11:08 am
there's been a lot of rhetoric flying around and the russians say that the united kingdom is needing these anti russian rooster phobic crusades or certainly looks like we were in a spiral downward spiral and difficult to see any way out sure ok thanks mara that was artie's not a ghastly affair with the update thank you. meanwhile billboards have started appearing in european cities calling for a boycott of this summer's free for world cup in russia. 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. 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
11:09 am
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 of this 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.
11:10 am
with some forty six million members worldwide and sixteen available languages on their website they make clicked of is an extremely. easy whether a causes animal rights global warming or the children in syria as an organization they're very deeply imbedded in. american establishment into the corporate world and into the political ruling elite world in america and so we've seen over far as used or weaponized as an instrument of war for example the
11:11 am
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 a 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 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
11:12 am

11:21 am
african-americans are automatically committing crime or in the foundation of our system fairish training the right kind of training like this on how to shoot or when to shoot deescalating but then also a training inherent bias is that police officers may have in this country and it's in their system that 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. 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. cryptocurrency is becoming increasingly important to relief efforts in puerto rico where one hundred thousand people are still without power following twenty
