a demonstration over the expulsion of environmental squatters in the french city of unarmed. thank you for watching the news headlines here at r.t. international broadcasting live from moscow i'm kate. over doesn't palestinian protesters have been injured on the gaza border a day after seventeen people died and over a thousand were injured in clashes with israeli soldiers the u.n. secretary general is now calling for an independent investigation into the deaths local jenna's when two or three has been at the scene. so today's the second day of protest demonstrations and praise for the palestinians list immunes from all over the gaza strip are coming to march through the fence and as you see we can still see this israeli soldiers is trying to target all of that all but protesters who
8:02 pm
are coming near the fence 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 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 will be on your march of return as a demonstration denouncing the israeli occupation thousands of palestinians have pitched tents across five locations where they're expected to stay for 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 hamas. he says the israeli actions
8:03 pm
a criminal. 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 towns and who have a right to under the nine hundred forty eight u.n. 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 civilians who just want to return home. hamas 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 or we'll see israeli prime minister's foreign media spokesperson david keyes whether the i.d.f. response was proportionate. a large 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 away from the fence and if you look at the pictures you see directly or trying to infiltrate
8:04 pm
a peaceful protest this is not 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 stop 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 have been leaving the u.s. consulate in st petersburg ahead of its official closure on sunday this comes after moscow's announcement on thursday to expel sixty u.s. envoys and shut down the diplomatic compound it's a reciprocal response to washington's decision to deport the same number of russian diplomats and close the country's consulate in seattle while this latest tit for tat measure comes amid a growing diplomatic crisis over the poisoning of double agents there again screwball in the english city of seoul spree britain has so far failed to provide
8:05 pm
any evidence of russia's killed yet 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 made similar moves against those states well earlier my colleague andrew farmer discussed the consequences for moscow's relations with the u.k. with senior correspondent were added last year this is part of russia's response to the mere 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 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 expelled but it doesn't end there russia's also lost the u.k. to reduce its diplomatic staff in russia by an additional fifty this is so that
8:06 pm
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 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
8:07 pm
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 blinks the 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 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 leading these anti russian russo phobic crusades or certainly looks like we were in
8:08 pm
a spiral downward spiral and difficult to see any way out when we were with the investigation into the script our case still ongoing russia's foreign ministry has called on the u.k.'s government to respond to fourteen key unanswered questions. when i got here we spoke with investigative journalist martin some a son george samuel a from the think tank global policy institute they think the u.k.'s case in the script incident is based on weekends the government seems unwilling to provide ounces i think the case that the british have made is
8:09 pm
extraordinarily flimsy some of the substance of the case being is that the russians have to have done it because they're the only ones who can develop this. agent which is transparently false because the formula is in the public domain everybody knows what the formula so anyone or that with an access of a sophisticated lab would make this chemical agent and the other argument against the russians is that well the russians that inherently bad and that's the kind of thing that they would do so i think that it's very unlikely that we are ever going to get on see in any of the russians perfectly legitimate questions one of the things that's quite interesting is when they took the blood samples from both of them well those still unconscious they had to get legal legal permission to do that and they had to go to the court and souls pretty 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 where there
8:10 pm
was no the choke will not on its various people pointed out it's real the agents are being used the whole of the population soulsby would be dead so of course how would the british know it was not checking this the books and not 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 in this country is going to be severely embarrassed because they haven't really got a lot of profit. police in the french city of non-certified water cannon and tear gas at protesters who were letting off players during a demonstration of the expulsion of environmental squatters. the in. the. the the
8:11 pm
east the the in the. that. the protesters had been squatting nearby for ten years their aim was to stop the government from building an airport on that piece of land and after a decade of campaigning they won and the government scrapped the plans. when you're in those ten years the protesters had set up their own anarchist utopia their commune contains around three hundred people who have their own library workshop and even radio station and the activists known as that this don't want to give up what they call their zone to defend r.t. shall a day when ski was out the demonstration. one upright just stares almost around
8:12 pm
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 every in some small skirmishes in may and this is all over north and on the lawn undesirable side they've made this place their home base was a place of land that was came up for 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 the street in no they came here to protest against the expulsion of the people who study should not going underground we're going to have to move quickly now because the police we've got
8:13 pm
things are being run out on the police who have been using che gas as well trying to get the protest is out of the way and trying to cool them down to just 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 as you see a small car she's now between the police and the protesters here only for that site that damn well he might say i did not you don't glance oh yes we're getting some of the effects of the chain guys that's being put up by the c r s's your w. is just making it a little bit difficult to breathe so we're going to just move right now as you can see that the police in trying to prove gaydar street from the protesters from coming out they had to protest against the expulsion of the people from the start site but not try. don't do loans they say do what you want ever they can within
8:14 pm
their means to protect not so much because it is now. so much even ski ought to know. well anticipation is building ahead of the football world cup here in russia but a mysterious group in europe is calling for a boycott or not after the break. yes i. did not look for the perpetrators they were covering up their tracks. 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
8:15 pm
all symptoms of a greater problem in haiti and that greater problem is imperialism problem is debt dependency and domination that haiti has had to deal with since it became the first . free republic ruled by black people since p.t.o. for. welcome back billboards have started appearing in european cities calling for a boycott of this the most football well cup in russia. takes a closer look at the group behind the campaign. the beautiful game takes an ugly
8:16 pm
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 billboards and the petition and this is how they describe their aims 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
8:17 pm

8:18 pm
deeply imbedded in. american establishment into the corporate world and into the political ruling elite world in america and so we've seen a far as used a weapon at least 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 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 their agenda is not and cannot be swayed by anyone with deep pockets or special interests but at the same
8:19 pm
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 a vase 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 the syrian city of aleppo according to the russian defense ministry the city was liberated by russian and syrian forces fifteen months ago and as life in aleppo begins to get back to normal hundreds of christian worshippers attended the good friday mass and procession in the city to mark the beginning of easter present say that after seven years of brutal crime conflict they finally feel safe. but 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

8:21 pm
a ghost city. we're living in the midst of destruction we feel completely abandoned everything around has been destroyed. and life years horrible the city lies in rubble you have to pay to remove the debris with all money there's no running water so we have to buy it in. the u.s. coalition because of the destruction of iraq 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 off we thought the mine didn't work and work towards it it exploded my friend was killed i survived. now

centralized water by creating a system of sensors automating water treatment and recycling thought says it shows puerto rico and teamed up with the restart league for its first systems implementation was 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 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
