i. was. seventeen people killed and more than a thousand injured israeli soldiers five bullets to use drones and tear 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 and it comes amid an escalating standoff over the poisoning of a former double agent in the u.k. . police fire water cannon and tear gas against protesters letting off this is during a demonstration over the expulsion of environmental squatters in the french city of not.

giving to you my name is you're watching international. over a dozen palestinian protesters have been injured on the gaza border on saturday just one day after seventeen people died and more than the files and were hurt in clashes with israeli soldiers the u.n. secretary general is now calling for an independent investigation into the deaths local journalist is at the scene so today's a second day of protest demonstrations and praise for the palestinians dallas' to news from all over the gaza strip are coming to march through the fence and as you see we can still see this israeli soldiers night players 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. defense

yesterday eight thousand of hundreds of palestinians were on the scene there is rarely used i mean a scene live bullets and tear gas. and for the first time there's really i mean use the drone to throw tear gas canisters and that on the protesters and to separate them. the annual march of return is a demonstration that denounces the israeli occupation thousands of palestinians have pitched tents across five locations where they're expected to remain for six weeks in response the israeli defense forces are stationed more than a hundred of snipers overlooking the area we spoke exclusively to the senior political leader of the palestinian political movement hamas is how he described the situation we only. 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 nineteen forty eight u.n. resolutions or these really is are displaying the kind of fear seen in a thief who was trying to protect what he stole and this is how they treat unarmed civilians who just want to return home. last confirmed that five of those killed were members of its military wing israel blamed its violent response on hamas which it views as a terrorist organization we asked the israeli prime minister this foreign media spokesperson david keyes whether the ideas response is proportionate. blood stone thrown at someone's head can kill them as has happened in the past but there's no reason for someone to be twenty meters away from the fence and if you look at the pictures. we're trying to infiltrate peaceful protest this is an art we know what peaceful protest look like and they don't involve people taking guns and shooting at the other side namely israel's this can start this can stop

this very second all that requires is for the boss 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 thursday the expo should of sixty u.s. envoys the shutdown of the diplomatic compound is a reciprocal response to washington's decision to expel the same number of russian diplomats and to close the country's consulate. well this latest tit for tat comes amid a growing diplomatic crisis over the poisoning of double agent script on u.k. soil britain's 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 as my colleague andrew farmer discussed the consequences for moscow's relations with the u.k. is our correspondent brian fear 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 odd other countries most of them either need two states or countries that are seeking to do in 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. but it doesn't end there russia has also lost 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 at the same 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

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 the search the police said that we wanted well involved they even tweeted about it 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 linked 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 it's 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 have sunk to. the side from all the expulsions 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're in a spiral downward spiral and difficult to see any way out meanwhile with the investigation into the script still ongoing the russian foreign ministry has issued

fourteen key unanswered questions and called on the u.k. government to respond. in a better journalist martin sum is joins me on the line now good evening martin what the u.k. says it is considering this russian request for consular access to. let's remember remains of russian citizen officially how likely is it london will agree. well they ought to agree because it's part of the procedure that ought to be followed but since ordinary procedure has been thrown out of the window in this case from

the beginning it's all to know how they were how the law should react. to the they haven't seems to be piling up for those who've got an independent mind that the most likely explanation of this is this is a provocation by western intelligence services few years ago french police of the terrorist police officer called paul burrell who's involved with the swiss protection team for birds of speech he gave an interview in which he named this destabilization campaign against russia as a parisian beluga rather similar to operation gladio which operated in the one nine hundred seventy s. notion a some western europe so i can't see that the british having gone through all of this trouble to create this corner of the spear or going to relent an ally of russian diplomats a serious cripple are made on may be proved wrong but i fear that the british have already decided what their approach to all of this is the produced a document the other day which is a list of of russia's russia's malfeasances over the last five years so it's not

just about the script case that basically using the script all cases of final cherry on the cake of a we're going to exclude russia from the u.n. security council that's the goal of the british the diplomats it seems to me because they are they can they can achieve that but that's where they're going with it you know it's been widely reported now you skip our no longer in critical condition some outlets saying actually that she could be as well as being conscious and able to talk now whether or not she can shed any light on the incident is one thing but everybody no doubt everybody will want to know what she has to say do you think that any testimony from no will become public. well it's hard to know isn't it i mean one of the things that's quite interesting is when they took the blood samples from both of them while those still unconscious they had to get legal legal permission to do that and they had to go to the court in souls bre and in the legal document they provided they said that no or some similar agents had been used so in

other words in the legal documents they didn't say that they don't the found out whether it was not a joke or not and as various people have pointed out have real nerve agents have been used and the whole half the population soulsby would be dead so there is a still big mysteries around all of this case does i say the most likely explanation is it's part of this operation beluga destabilization program which has been running for some so i mean involved. and also the coup in ukraine the snipers in the modern squares have been a court case in kiev and full marks to care for this carried out recently where they proved in the court case that the snipers were actually georgian mercenaries working with nato intelligence so it was certainly nothing to do with the russians and what we need in all of these cases is independent police investigation with security services of all countries potential suspects there are a lot of unanswered questions to the extent that russia is actually posed a list of unanswered questions to the u.k. or thora t's one of them is moscow asking how the u.k.

stablish that the russian origin of this supposedly nerve agent you think that russia will get answers to these questions and that one in particular. well i don't think they will i mean obviously robin reading up about this stuff in the last weeks to understand what's going on going invented navi choco plane to invent it defected to the to the u.s. and in fact he wrote a book about how to make it in which the in which the formula was widely made available so i don't see i mean when when the anthrax was used in after the nine eleven attacks six people died of anthrax that was traced back to fort detrick in maryland. definitely it was military grade anthrax from the equivalent of port down in the u.s. but of course as you know the equivalent factory in respect to stan was completely demolished on the chemical weapons agreement some years ago in russia and of course how would the british know it was not joking with the themselves and you know all

of these questions obviously come to the surface and i think if we really pursue this case and don't let it go it may be that the government is this country is going to be severely embarrassed because they have agreed to go for a few. yeah and. i think we pretty much summed it up there is more questions than answers at this stage the cliches very true in this case we're going to watch it carefully this story appreciate your analysis of it martin some as my guest independent journalist thank you very much. now in other news police have fired water cannon in tear gas against protesters letting off flares during a demonstration over the expulsion of environmental squatters in the french city of nuns on reports from the protest. oh. the room. around him right i stand is

almost around a thousand now running we've got the police running behind us who are in the middle of this where you can see the police are trying to carry china probably justice into one particular spot trying to move them down the street we have already seen t.v. gas being fired at the protesters and the protest is throwing things out the police they've been some small skinny shoes in the shade and this is all over 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 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 us artists 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 the streets in no they came here

to protest against the expulsion of the people the saddest of legend on the land we have to move quickly now because the place we got things are being run out and the police have been using cheney gas is well trying to get the protest piece of the way and trying to cool them down to 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 all over that site that damn book you might say i did not you don't glance oh yes we're getting some of the effects of the chair gas that's being put up by the c.r.a. says your governor you just. making it a little bit difficult to breathe so we're going to just leave late as you can see that the police in trying to block a dutch treat some protesters from coming out there to protest against the expulsion of the people from the sad site but not to go don't do lunch they say

they will do whatever they can within their means to protect that site because it is now their home so much even ski or to you know. billboards are started appearing in european cities calling for a boycott of this summer's feed for world cup in russia and his jaclyn burger takes a closer look at the group that lies 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 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 azer is 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 are very deeply invested in. american establishment into the corporate world and into the political ruling elite world in america and so we've seen i've used a weapon at least 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 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 they're one of those companies sources open society foundation specifically funneled money to evolve so well p.r. stunts politicizing sports are nothing new with this stunt in particular some are now crying foul. that's one use coming up after this short break.

didn't look for the perpetrators they were covering their tracks you know the month of. the year they were. who did it and. who did. you want russia to clash with the rest of the world. when you have no clean water no health care no infrastructure those are all sins of a greater problem in haiti and that greater problem is imperialism problem is dependency and domination that haiti has had to deal with since it became the first . free republic ruled by black people since the a.t.o.

for. a comeback almost four thousand people have now returned to the. quoting 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 the town and as long for the aleppo begins to go back to normal hundreds of christian worship is attended the good friday must a procession in the city to mark the beginning of the stuff residents say that after seven years of brutal conflict they finally feel safe. balester actually

apple became thing when there were normal clashes in mortars we came back and we're happy here it's easter happy easter. the world here saying god finally we've been able to visit our churches and hold religious rituals we've had enough in seventy years now it is safe and peaceful we can do everything freely. but elsewhere in syria the humanitarian situation still remains catastrophic some ninety five thousand civilians return to the city of radical after it was retaken by u.s. led forces half a year ago they still live in dire conditions with almost all infrastructure destroyed no access to running water and other basic necessities the russian military is reported even that frustrated people started an uprising against u.s. backed rebel forces there. we were forced to leave our homes because when we returned we found everything we

could use to rubble look at all the devastation rock is a ghost city by the minute when live in the limits of destruction completely abandoned everything around has been destroyed. the city lies in rubble have to be to remove the debris with all money there's no running water so we have two boats in. the u.s. coalition cause 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 mine on the streets near my house my friend and i tried to detonate it from a distance but it didn't go off we thought the mine didn't work and walked towards it exploded my friend was killed i survived. and independent

autopsies found us police fatally shot an unarmed black man in the back in the city of sacramento earlier this month the victim's family lawyer says that it contradicts the police officer's claim that he was advancing towards them although what happened wasn't exactly clear from the body cam video that was released. police fired at twenty two year old stefan clarke twenty times saying afterwards they'd mistaken his phone for a gun they were responding to a call about someone breaking windows thought was shot in his grandmother's backyard officers involved were placed on paid administrative leave the case has outraised locals who process the current almost every day since the occurrence of the shooting. in a series of protests demonstrators have blocked highways and twice disrupted the nearby n.b.a. basketball the day after clocks funeral black lives month as activists again block

streets they call for justice a punishment for those responsible we spoke to former georgia state representative lee jones who says that improperly trained police officers and 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 a training parent 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 determined allowing officers who have a feel 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 it through the police departments making them lose their jobs but

it's very hard to have the police police the police. functioning with as you want your team to national and a quick reminder if you enjoy your news on the go you can check us out on facebook on twitter and we have plenty more stories available on our website. ah ha. ha

sell you on the idea that dropping bombs brings peace to the chicken hawks forcing you to fight the battle for. the new socks for the tell you that gossip and tabloid bias file for the most important. off the bad guys and tell me you are not cool enough to buy their product. these are the hawks that we along with are all. watching. the most expensive fish in the world each one selling for tens of thousands of euros it continues to grow its entire life if it was thirty years old you might have a ton of fish out there and yet they don't get that big today because we're way too good at catching. it's only a much larger mission was one that was much more widely distributed we have politicians that are in office for a few years they have to get reelected everything is very very short term our

system is not suited and is not geared for long term survival and that's why we have the catastrophes. i am max kaiser this is the kaiser report of the show the kids are real world is becoming increasingly more surreal. you know. him back so we're back from puerto rico but i could not really leave put a rico spiritually or mentally so i dressed kind of like one of the buildings in all its on one. love the color fantastic so while we were in puerto rico i know we klein you know the famous i know though go author she was had written a piece for the intercepts and i wanted to follow up on that and then. basically go

over our perceptions after being in puerto rico for nearly two weeks and see part of america what we feel about it and what our assessment of it and what her but some of her arguments here it's a really good piece she wrote for the intercept the battle for paradise puerto rican ultra rich porto peons are locked in a pitch struggle over how to remake the island now first of all she did go around the island and she went to a place called casa point below which is in an area called us which isn't basically in the middle of the island a little bit to the west and there's this one place called casa play blows a beautiful pink building everything is bright color there and it was the only place that had electricity after the hurricane in the whole region because they had solar panels on the rooftop and so they were able to you know provide electricity so her takeaway was that in part the spread of the gospel of renewables in the

weeks after the storm cost of puebla handed out fourteen thousand solar lanterns little square boxes that recharge were left outside during the day providing a much needed pool of light by night more recently the community center has managed to distribute a large shipment of full sized solar powered refrigerators a game changer for households in the interior that still don't have power costs a push people has kicked off the hash tag console and this is you know the attempt by them to bring solar power and the grid to the network remember the state owned electric company is the one that controls the electricity grid in puerto rico is the state controlled which enabled that built a system that relied on oil imports from america expensive oil imports from america because remember the jones act you've got to have a u.s. built and manned crew bringing in the shipments of the oil so prep was the one that built the system.
