harvey this is our teens and national thanks for joining. doesn't palestinian protesters have been injured on the gaza border on saturday just one day after seventeen people died and over a thousand words in clashes with israeli soldiers the u.n. secretary general is now calling for an independent investigation into the deaths local journalists at the scene. so today is the second day of protests 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 is trying to target all of the all of the protesters who are coming near the fence palestinians protesters are holding the palestinian flags and are trying to put them near the fence yesterday eight thousand of
6:02 pm
hundreds of palestinians were on the scene there israeli army used to i mean nation live bullets and tear gas. and for the first time the israeli army used a drone to throw tear gas canisters and that on the protesters and to separate them . the annual launch of return is a demonstration the denounces the israeli occupation thousands of palestinians have pitched tents across five locations they're expected to stay there for six weeks 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 hamas he described the situation. we only. all those killed were from gaza what the israelis did is
6:03 pm
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 the thief who was trying to protect what he's stolen this is how they treat unarmed civilians who just want to return home. i must confirm that five of those killed were members of its military wing israel blamed it violent response on hamas which it views as a terrorist organization yes the israeli prime minister's foreign media spokesperson david king's whether the i.d.f. response was proportionate. a 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. trying to infiltrate a peaceful protest this is not we know what peaceful protests look like and they don't involve people taking guns and shooting at the other side namely israelis
6:04 pm
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 this 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 the shut down of the diplomatic compound it's a reciprocal response to washington's this isn't to expel the same number of russian diplomats and to. this latest tit for tat becomes a bit a growing diplomatic crisis over the poisoning of double agents on u.k. soil britain has so far failed to provide any evidence of russia's guilt or less london still blames russia for the attack and over twenty countries have expelled moscow's diplomats in solidarity with the u.k.
6:05 pm
in response russia's taken similar moves against those states and my colleague andrew fowler discussed consequences for moscow's relations with the u.k. and our correspondent greg s d. 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 has also asked 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 and russia on 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
6:06 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 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 it went against all protocol the u.k.
6:07 pm
representatives tried to speak with the crew being present which is strictly prohibited by the relevant regulations. only after 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 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. meanwhile the divest occasion into the script still ongoing the russian foreign ministry has issued fourteen key
6:08 pm
and answered questions and called on the u.k. government to respond. the senior research fellow from the global policy institute george stanley wally says that the u.k. case in this compound incident is based on in his opinion weak evidence. i think the case that the british of made is extraordinarily flimsy. and had they had a stronger case then you know they've already had several weeks in which to make it
6:09 pm
but the sum and substance of the case is that the russians had to have done it because they're the only ones who can develop this know which are asian which is transparently false because the formula is in the public domain everybody knows what the formula is so anyone order with an access of a sophisticated lab could make this chemical agent the uranium is apparently have made this agent the british and porton down had a sample of this agent. and the other argument against the russians is that well the russians are inherently bad and that's the kind of thing that they would do so that's pretty much the sum and substance of this case so it doesn't look like the pritish have actually added anything to that so i think that it's very unlikely that we are ever going to get to in any of the russians perfectly legitimate questions. police have fired water cannons and tear gas against protesters letting off a string
6:10 pm
a demonstration over the expulsion of environmental squatters in the french city of not. was. it was. the was the. protestors eco warriors or green jihad jesus some event of them have been squatting nearby for ten years they came for a good cause to stop the government from building an airport on the land after a decade of fighting they won the government's crown plans.

in those ten years the protesters set up their own and kissed utopia around three hundred people make up the commune they have their own library workshop even a radio station and they're not keen to leave behind their cosy life in what they call the quote zone to defend with the activists known as sadists on the show the dubious ski was at the demonstration. one upright just stares almost all round a thousand hour 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 curtail 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 protests this throwing things out of the police saving some small skirmishes in here and this is all over no trees on the lawn undesirable side they've made this place their home base was
6:12 pm
a place of land that was came up for a possible airport the french government decided to only the shia that he would not be building the airport but it has said that it wants to expel all of those artists on a case by case basis chrome this land as you can see behind me now the police are having to come back the protests just pushing along from the street in not they came here to protest against the expulsion of the people who started it should not run down the law and we're going to have to move quickly now because the police we've got things are being run out on the police who have been using cheney gas as well trying to get the protest is part of the way and trying to cool them down to do certain factions but what we're seeing now he's from the protests is coming out from the street and you can see the police are also trying to block a way to other protesters who are joining them splitting them up in or around us are you seeing small clashes now between the police and the protesters here all

face off her who is writing extensively on environmental issues and social justice issues went to these conferences in puerto rico and her takeaway was that a bunch of 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 bail me feel they have a monopoly on good intentions which i'm not sure where that comes from. the. yard did not look for the perpetrators they were covering their tracks you know. dear dearest here they were free didn't. personal our think it was you who did. what you want to russia to clash with the rest of the world.

welcome back billboards have started to appear in european cities to call for a boycott of this summer's fee for football world cup and russia. takes a closer look at the group behind that 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 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
6:16 pm
billboards and the petition and this is how they describe their aims of this is a global organization with a simple democratic mission to close 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.

6:18 pm
a no fly zone we've also seen them for example supporting the alleged chemical weapon attacks to 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 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 to one of those companies sources open society foundation specifically funneled money to of us so well 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 the homes

6:23 pm
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 deter 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. cryptocurrency the hoping relief efforts imports of one hundred thousand people are still without power following a major hurricane last year twenty five thousand dollars is being donated by big coin entrepreneurs francis santiago spoke with some of the. puerto rico has received an influx of water change innovators who pledged to transform the region after hurricane rita's devastating damage but i'm hoping happens is
