i welcome you watching our international this saturday evening seven pm here in moscow our top story doesn't palestinian protesters have been injured on the gaza border on saturday one day after seventeen people died and over a thousand were hurting clashes with israeli soldiers the u.n. secretary general is now calling for an independent investigation into the deaths local journalists in the diary is that the. so today is the second day of protest demonstrations and praise for the palestinians listing us from all over the gaza strip are coming to march through the fence and as you see we can still see this israeli soldiers. trying to target all of that all of the protesters who are coming near the fence palestinians protesters are holding palestinian flags and are trying to put them near the fence yesterday thousands of hundreds of palestinians were on
12:02 pm
the same field there israeli army used to i mean nation live bullets and tear gas. and for the first time that israeli army used a drone to throw tear gas canisters and that on the protesters and to separate them . while 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 the next 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 masts and here's how he described the situation with. my for a new 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
12:03 pm
towns and have a right to under the nine hundred forty eight un resolutions or 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 civilians who just want to return home. well how much though has confirmed that five of those killed were members of its military wing israel blame the violent response on hamas which it uses a terrorist organization we ask the israeli prime minister's foreign media spokes person david keys 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. we are trying to infiltrate a peaceful protest this is an art we know what peaceful protests look like and they don't involve people taking guns and shooting at the other side namely israel because this can stop this can stop this very second all it requires is for hamas
12:04 pm
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 this all of this goes away. american diplomatic staff leaving the u.s. consulate in some get ahead of its official closure on sunday this comes after moscow announced on thursday the expulsion of sixty u.s. envoys and the shutdown of the diplomatic compound is 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 comes amid a growing diplomatic crisis over the poisoning of double agents going to pile on u.k. soil 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. in response to that russia has taken similar moves against those states earlier i
12:05 pm
discussed the consequences for moscow's relations with the u.k. with europe gets the. this is part of russia's response to the tat mirror response for every russian diplomat expelled from great britain the united states and two dozen odd other countries most of them either nato states or countries that are seeking to join nato for every russian diplomat expelled russia is expelling one of those countries diplomats 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 the number of russian diplomats in great britain and a number of british diplomats in russia same so to establish parity this is i suppose you could say a punitive measure for great britain's role in this entire affair it was london
12:06 pm
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's confusion because nobody admitted the search the police said that we wanted well involved they even tweeted about it however it turned out that there was in fact this going on and the russians say went against all protocol the u.k. representatives tried to speak with the crew being present which is strictly
12:07 pm
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 the side from all the expulsions there's been a lot of rhetoric flying around in 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. but he survived water cannon and gas against protesters letting off less during
12:08 pm
a demonstration over the expulsion of environmental squatters in the french city of nant from there his shot at the principal. oh. roll the room. for the price i stand is almost around a thousand now running we've got the police running behind us who were in the middle of this where you can see the police are trying to carry a child the protesters into one particular spot trying to move them down the street we have already seen t.v.'s being fired at the protesters in the protest is throwing things out of the police saving some small skirmishes in the hague and this is zero zero zero zero but no trees on the lawn undesirable side they've made this place their home base was a place of land that was a market for
12:09 pm
a possible airport the french government decided early this year that he would not be building the airport but it has said that it wants to expel all of the saudis so on a case by case basis chrome this land you can see behind me now the police are having to come back the protests just pushing along from mistreating no they came here to protest against the expulsion of the people assad is from large and ongoing and we have to move quickly now because the police we got things are being run out on the police who have been using che gases well trying to get the prejudices of the way and trying to cool them down into certain factions but what we're seeing now he's in the protests is coming out from the street and you can see the police are also trying to provoke a the other protesters who are joining them splitting them up in or around as you see small clashes now between the police and the protesters here only via that site that damn ok but so i could not you don't glance oh yes we're getting some of the
12:10 pm
effects of the chair gas that's being put out by the c.r.a. says your governor you just. making it a little bit difficult to breathe so we're going to just move right as you can see that the priest still trying to prove that he got straight from the protesters from coming out there here to protest against the expulsion of the people from the start site but not to go down to long to they say they will do whatever they can within their means to protect that site because it is now very home so much even ski or to note. that the news billboards have been appearing in european cities calling for a boycott of this summer's fee for world cup and russia. takes a closer look 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.
12:11 pm
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 avaaz an 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 oz there is
12:12 pm
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. the easy weather 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
12:13 pm
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 petitions that 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 a recently linked to that humanitarian aspect now of off takes pride in saying they're one hundred percent member funded meaning that there are just cannot be swayed by cannot be swayed by interests but at the same time they also acknowledge that they were founded by two advocacy groups who received major funding from george soros
12:14 pm
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. almost four thousand people have now returned to their homes in syria's aleppo according to the russian defense ministry the city was liberated by russian and syrian forces fifteen months ago and since then many refugees have come back to their home town with his life in aleppo begins to go back to normal hundreds of christian worshipers attended the good friday mass and procession in the city to mark the beginning of the state residents say that after seven years of brutal conflict i finally feel so. powerless down. 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. thing god finally we've been able to visit our
12:15 pm
troy truce and hold religious rituals we've had enough in seventy years now it is safe and peaceful we can do everything freely. but however elsewhere in syria the humanitarian situation does remain catastrophic some ninety five thousand civilians have returned to the city of rocker after it was retaken by u.s. led forces half a year ago but they still live in dire conditions with almost all in preferred destroyed no access to running water and other basic necessities the russian military has reported that prostrated people have begun uprising against u.s. backed rebel forces in the area. it was still a thirty year we were forced to leave our homes because by such a war and when we returned we found everything we do still rather look at all the devastation rock is a go see. him in the clean living in limits to the destruction we can completely
12:16 pm
abandoned everything around has been destroyed. life years horrible this is the lies and rubble that we have to be to remove the debris with all money there's no running water so we have to buy it in. the u.s. coalition of course the destruction of records and has a responsibility to rebuild the city we need to help with restoring the water supply in clearing the rubble. i found a man on the streets near my house my friend and i tried to detonate it from a distance but it didn't go well we thought the mind didn't work and work towards it exploded my friend was killed i survived me he watching i think the national going to take a quick break but will be back until it. klein
12:17 pm
. who is writing extensively 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 of showed up and this is a danger to the local economy and to the local fabric of society so the first thing
12:18 pm
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. welcome back now the u.s. state department could require visa applicants who want to visit america to reveal information about the social media accounts they have used over the last five years with more on this story his so america 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 if they could even expand the list of required disclosures and if you
12:19 pm
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 the 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. for tourism now the other countries will see american tourists can tweet 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 in these new plans are supposedly part of trump's larger
12:20 pm
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. in other news now and a new autopsy is found that u.s. police fatally shot an unarmed black man in the back it happened in the city of sacramento early this month the victim's family lawyer says it contradicts the police officers claim that he was advancing towards them although what happened isn't exactly clear from the body cam video that was released. police thought it 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 wind. in his grandmother's backyard the officers involved are now being put on makeup. mistreated. protests happening almost
12:21 pm
every day since the day of the shooting and a series of protests demonstrators approach highway twice disrupted a nearby n.b.a. basketball game the day after funeral black lives matter activists again streets they called for justice and punishment for those responsible we spoke to the former georgia state representative who says the properly trained police officers in knots 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 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
12:22 pm
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 the helping relief efforts in puerto rico where one hundred thousand people are still without power following a major hurricane last year twenty five thousand dollars is being donated by current entrepreneurs. friends in santiago spoke with some of them. puerto rico has received an influx of washington innovators who pledged to transform the region after hurricane rita's devastating damage but i'm hoping happens as a lot of people come to puerto rico and they take a look around our. place a little 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 or
12:23 pm
why are there such struggles maybe i can make a difference maybe i can help this those are three consecutive conferences the detainees. and coinage and 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 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 start for its first system implementation with a country that recycles the most water. you telling us about 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
12:24 pm
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 for example and what's happening is forced decentralization with the town's musicality he's 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 there was. now long before we build that we want to get to work right away here we're not going to wait to build all the structures we're just going to go ahead and use some of your early investment to literally put shovels in the ground and build the system right here right this more or less all my talks are operating take. no harm remember that you're building

everywhere now they grabbed up all your data and used algorithms to target specific people and showed them specific ads to try to get you to vote for trump it's the same thing honestly google and facebook do except they do it to advertise shoes in baby character carriers and and vapid boring and. are you becoming a little too different in original here try this shared so you get better with your cardboard cut out coworkers at the consumerist machine just wash over you like a warm apathy. right these algorithms are all around us having an impact on every aspect of our lives whether or not you get called in for a job interview there's an algorithm helping them decide that whether you get into college there's an algorithm for that whether you get dropped from your health care there's an algorithm for that whether you get paired with a hot guy on match dot com or. there was some sort of bridge troll who you know
12:30 pm
smells of spoiled tofu and squeals when he sleazes there's a great. number of the very thing and we're led to believe these algorithms or perfect and unbiased but in fact they're filled with the same biased and flaws as the humans who create them but they aren't unbiased at all they're often racist and prejudiced and ask. you. if you live. so they're basically. the holes. that you had to be mad with. for example predictive policing police are using software to predict crime a lot of lawmakers are excited about this you put a bunch of data into an algorithm and it tell.
