kate partridge you're watching the latest headlines here at r.t. international thank you for joining us. over a dozen palestinian protesters have been injured on the gaza border a day after seventeen people died and over and were injured in clashes with israeli soldiers the u.n. secretary general is now calling for an independent investigation into the deaths local journalist who that he has been at the scene. so today is the second day of protests demonstrations and praise for the palestinians holliston 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 night prayers 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 thousands of

hundreds of palestinians were on the same field that israeli army used 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 on the protesters anticipate them. well the annual march of return is 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 station more than one hundred snipers overlooking the area we spoke exclusively to the senior political leader of the palestinian political movement hamas. masuk he says the israeli actions are criminals. with. 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 un resolutions or these really is are displaying the kind of fear seen in a thief who was trying to protect what he's stolen this is how they treat unarmed civilians who just want to return home. or her ass confirms that five of those killed were members of its military wing israel blamed its violent response on hamas which it use as a terrorist organization and we'll ask the israeli prime minister's foreign media spokesperson david keys whether the i.d.f. response was 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. often direct we are trying to infiltrate 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 controvert in seattle well this latest tit for tat measure comes amid a growing diplomatic crisis over the poisoning of a double agent so gay scriptural in the english city of saul's break britain has so far failed to provide any evidence of russia's guilt 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. the city correspondent would have guessed 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 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 they 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 speak with the crew being present which is strictly prohibited by the relevant regulations. only after the arrival of an embassy official and lengthy 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 russo phobic crusades or certainly looks like we were in a spiral downward spiral and difficult to see any way out and meanwhile 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. well earlier we spoke with investigative journalist martin summers and george suddenly from the think tank global policy institute they think the u.k.'s case in the script balances dentist based on weekends and the government seems unwilling to provide on service. i think the case that the british of made is extraordinarily

flimsy some of the substance of the case he 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 laughter would make this chemical 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 i think that it's very unlikely that we are ever going to get onstage 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 while they are still unconscious they had to get legal legal permission to do that and they have to go to the court in seoul's barry and in the legal document they provided they said that novacek 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 was no a chuckle not on his various people pointed out have real nerve agents have been

used and the whole half the population of soulsby would be dead so and of course how would the british know it was not chalk unless the themselves 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 new ones have fired water cannon and tear gas at protests as who are less well off leicester in a demonstration of the expulsion of environmental squatters. the the and

the. protesters had been scorching nearby for ten years their aim was to stop the government from building an airport on that piece of land and off to a decade of campaigning they won as the government scrapped the plans. well during those ten years the protesters have set up their own and i kist utopia they call me in contains around three hundred people who have their own library workshop and even radio station and the activists known as this don't want to give up what they cool to defend. was at the demonstration. have a brighter stares almost around 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 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 a market for a possible airport the french government decided to only this year they would not be building the airport but it has said that it wants to expel all of this 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 mistreating aren't 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 che gas is well trying to get the protest is out of the way and trying to cool them down into 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 clashes now between the police and the protesters here all over that site that damn well he might say i did not you don't glance oh you're getting some of the effects of the changes that's being put out by the c.r.a. says your governor you were just making it a little bit difficult to breathe so you just were right as you can see that the precinct 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 true don't demand they say they will do whatever they can within their means to protect

that site because it is now their home challenge even ski or to you know. billboards are started appearing in european cities calling for a boycott of this summer's football world cup in russia and in further 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 its 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 of i was a global organization with

a simple demographic mission close the gap between the world we have and 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 side 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.

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 invested in. american establishment into world and into the political ruling elite world in america and so we've seen 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 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 a vase so while p.r. stunts politicizing sports are nothing new with this stunt in particular some are now crying foul now one of the host cities for the world cup is rough stuff in southern russia in preparation for the event former iceland striker i could johnson and city also it is officially open to new football park on saturday and fans visiting the venue can find out more about the tournament and even show off their

this is also have a chance to test their goal scoring skills against this robot that you keep but i'll tell you this and the scale from three attempts so low pressure on me. please very hard for the money makes me to play for russia and putin. and the russian i mean for a long time to see how brazil plays with my own eyes that. it's an extremely important international event that improves friendly relations

between people. if your opportunity to learn foreign languages because this isn't possible is just a preview to the big file you saying that we built here in rostock for thousands of visitors will be able to see every single game on big screens in a sense and of course really a visual mascot of the study of arka. billion year over year three i'm confident that those who come to russia will love the much more for the much. now 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 residents say that after seven years of brutal conflict they finally feel safe. polisher actually apple

everything we just rubble look at all the devastation iraq is a ghost city. we're living in the midst of destruction completely abandoned everything around has been destroyed. just like scorebook the city lies in rubble have to pay to remove the to bree with all money there's no running water so we have to buy it in the burbs us coalition because the destruction of rock 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 and we thought the mine didn't work and work towards it exploded my friend was killed i survived.

in the us an independent autopsy has found police fatally shot around black man stephen clock eight times seven of those in the back it happened in the californian city of sacramento earlier this month the victim's family lawyer says the findings contradict the police officers claim that clarke was advancing towards them that what happened wasn't clear from the body count video that was released. police said they fired a twenty two year old clock because they had been staking his father for a gun then responding to a call about someone breaking windows proper shot in his grandmother's backyard the officers. both were placed on paid administrative leave case. you missed daily since the shooting. when a series of protest demonstrations have not try ways of twice disrupt the local

n.b.a. basketball game the day after clunks funeral black lives not a activist a good streets they called for justice and punishment for those responsible georgia state representative loudoun jones says improperly trained police officers are not being held to account. the ideas that african-americans are automatically committing crime are in the foundation of our system and 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 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 in 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. now cryptocurrency is a 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 bit coy entrepreneurs to go from santiago spoke with some of the. puerto rico has received an influx of watch chain 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 and there are these people are amazing 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 why are there such struggles maybe i can make a difference maybe i can help us meet those are three consecutive conferences detainee's last chance balance and point agenda we're all working together to build

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 it's holes and what's happening is forced decentralization with the towns 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 but we're not going to wait to build all the structure we're just going to go ahead and use some of the early investment to literally put shovels in the ground and build the system right here right now this is more or less all my talks are on operating tiger and you know i'm armed remember that you're feeling that you need to stay tuned for more bill in the future employers could rescue snipes max keiser me from a similar crystal rose and much more only on the toll on our team.
