5:01 pm
that how you treat your own citizens in your own diplomats i think this is going a little overboard in spots. why this is out international just ten midnight here in moscow now my name is kevin knowing first in tonight's program that at least eight palestinians including a child have reportedly been killed by israeli gunfire on the gaza border the palestinian health ministry says more than a thousand more were injured during a mass protests including forty eight children correspondents have been reporting from both sides of the border. we're now maybe one hundred meters only far away from the fence you can see the crowd you can see the protesters flooded and a hundred of thousands phylis immunes have been here since the morning.
5:02 pm
tensions are running high right now and the israeli army started to shoot randomly . the. more palestinians are getting injured why the ambulances are already here to british take on the injuries that we're now the injured from days really i mean that by live bullets and i mean nation and to tear gas canisters. this is one of the injuries that was injured just right now our friend up. for booklets and at the tear gas and there it's cross ambulances and on the medics are trying to say father and juries. palestinians are very close to the fence and know i getting out way back because
5:03 pm
the by israeli army arabs are shooting everyone who's getting near to the funds. this guy is squarely of the tires the palestinian youths have been fighting since someone and at the same time the israeli army have been throwing tear gas canisters and targeting the palestinians here the funds. as you see the palestinian protesters are running away from the tear gas canisters that were thrown just right now and the protesters and. so the. these are unexploded to gas canisters that are being targeted and suited on the palestinian protesters there are. thousands of hundreds of palestinians have been here since the morning and we saw palestinian protesters burning view as flags
5:04 pm
and israeli flags and also saying slogans against the israelis and the american sense that morning tension is running high right now and palestinians are still in the field in still near the fence i'm standing here on the israeli side of the israel gaza border where these plumes of smoke are slowly making their way from gaza into israel now there's a lot of tear gas that's being fired into gaza we can hear the sound of tear gas canisters from here we can also hear the sign sounds of bullets of course israelis are being accused by the international community of using live fire on unarmed protesters but the israelis for bayside say that among these protesters are hundreds of militants who like them with molotov cocktails and the like i'm standing in a closed military zone the israelis have gotten reinforcements there are tanks on the border we're not allowed to go closer to the border then where i'm actually standing the israeli snipers are also aware that the palestinians are using pieces
5:05 pm
of mirrors to try and block the vision and make it more difficult for them and we've also been told that should the situation on the other side of the border get to the israelis plan on using sewage water to deal with the people there so the situation here on the border extremely tense and unfortunately the number of casualties expected to climb if not in the coming hours in the coming days however israeli defense forces say they believe the protesters pose a serious danger a spokesperson for the i.d.f. took to twitter rioters attempted to cross the security fence and set off explosive devices in an attempted terrorist attack over the u.n. goes on to say as well that the use of live ammunition by the israeli forces was unnecessary here and could amount to a breach of the geneva convention. an attempt to approach or cross the green line fence by itself certainly does not amount to a threat to life or serious injury that would justify the use of live ammunition
5:06 pm
the killings and the injuries do actually point to an excessive use of force and in particular lethal force and that's in a situation where there was no threat of death or or serious injury the unjustified unlawful recourse to firearms by law enforcement resulting in death may amount to a willful killing a grave breach of the fourth geneva convention the week long protests or become the deadliest in years as thousands of palestinians demand access to ancestral lands which are now in israeli territory. on the. u.k. has denied victoria's secret part of these she's the niece of poisoned double agent sergei the u.k. home office has issued a statement saying your application failed to comply with immigration rules the
5:07 pm
torah however believes britain most of the hide and said she was expecting the denial earlier on friday sort of gaze crippled regain consciousness and is no longer in a critical condition artes and there are two to reports we don't know that much but we have got a statement from the district hospital released by dr christina blanch about the medical director and she said that that so case cripple is responding well to treatment improving rapidly and is no longer in a critical condition and know the details we have we also know that scribbles daughter yulia is recovering so much so that she gave a statement to the met police saying that she is growing stronger day by day now if we go back to the beginning these two were poisoned by a nerve agent called novacek on the fourth of march now this is. incidents caused mayhem across the globe and you could almost say that it was a catalyst for already increased tensions between russia and britain in particular . there have been consequences to this event before the investigation started and
5:08 pm
immediately after the attack the finger was pointed at russia as the perpetrator almost implying that both a new leader were not going to make it through this ordeal russia has denied any involvement and has stuck to that and even asked for a joint investigation which was denied and refused by the british authorities now that diplomatic mattick route did spiral britain expelled twenty three russian diplomats russia retaliated to that expelling the same number and spread to the european partners and the u.s. as well and they also expelled a number of diplomats from those countries. now the results came out after an investigation at porton down lab and the results were that there was no definitive evidence as to where that nerve agent came from so you can see what was happening
5:09 pm
there the situation as it is now the two are recovering so possibly they will be speaking at some point and they might be able to give more clarity as to what happened on that day. meanwhile russia's foreign minister has called increased speculation unfounded as the media claims the nerve agent used to poison the scruples was produced in a weapons lab here in russia. which. as far as reports about novacek nerve agent production in the surrounding region are concerns london is from sickly looking for confirmation of its unsubstantiated position. furthermore one major u.k. newspaper ran a sensational headline based on anonymous sources saying that they did pinpointed the production of novacek to the outskirts of moscow here jacqueline who picks up on but story the screwball case on explosive twist earlier this week when experts at porton down revealed they couldn't determine where the nerve agent was made a u.k. military law is stunned but we're not the media and their sources have it covered.
5:10 pm
the times' has revealed its sources believe that they have pinpointed the facility where the military grade nerve agent was made and surprise surprise it's in russia the sun isn't certain but says it's near moscow so it is not one hundred percent certain about the location but highly confident i'm convinced about you their sources say that the yeltsin of a lab is one of a handful in the world that can produce nova chuck the sun has exclusively uncovered a moscow suburb lab that the o.p.c. w. couldn't. have a problem in your games with. it's well there was a short lived hope that accusations against russia could fade. on tuesday the times tweeted a picture of the next day's front page with the headline may battles to preserve
5:11 pm
alliance against russia and told of ten downing street dismay that the global coalition against russia was being undermined but that article has now gone with a link taking you to another story. we asked the times for an explanation and they told us it reflects a developing story explaining that the text was changed rather than adding a new article to avoid peppering their site with additional articles on the same thing although it's not clear how a story on isolating russia and boris johnson misleading the public can be considered the same thing come next day back to what sells best russia says the u.k. is playing with fire when accusing moscow of being behind the souls proposing it at the mergence the meeting of the un security council on thursday russia's envoy pointed to a major inconsistency she said in the claims made by britain and the u.k. once again reiterated in return its celebration that it was highly likely that russia was responsible for the attack and then they crossed literary swords quite literally in an exchange quoting lewis carroll's alice in wonderland this paper has
5:12 pm
just been picked up won't sue me so the. i haven't gotten the word that i would but it seems to be a matter. of the reason the do to somebody are they the prisons company being us in other of the judum. nor there knots of the word the baby blues you mean just to so the me i didn't but i did and they come provided there is no name signed to do. if you didn't sign the king that only makes the most the words you must. let the jury consider devoted to the king so what about the twenty stone that the normal. sentence first verdict afterwards. that remind you of anything as a. very good quote from alice in wonderland that is sometimes i believe it's many it's six impossible things before breakfast so i think that's the quake seats my
5:13 pm
russian colleague best in september twenty seventeen the organization for the prevention of chemical weapons actually verify the destruction of russia's entire chemical weapons program the u.s. and the u.k. have never put forward any reasons as to why they doubt the o.p.c. w.'s verification here that is a very important piece of information that's never this never picked up on and secondly the childer that the russian chemist who revealed the existence of knowledge of us published a book with this formula in two thousand and eight saying that it could actually be made with you know fairly simple bits and pieces you get in pesticides and fertilizers and so on so far from the idea that russia is the only power capable producing this stuff what about what britain's gained out of all of this britain has gained now hasn't britain been trying to rage this campaign of isolation against russia for years now so if we're going to just reduce everything to ole what's country's got to form and a motive then britain's on very shaky grounds accusing russia and that's why it's
5:14 pm
so important to have evidence rather than just talking about motives. the us a step to sanctions against russia will tell you more details when we come back.
5:15 pm
lead. i. again this is support growing for the founder of wiki leaks to be reconnected to the internet it's after ecuador recently cut off today the songes communications with the outside world now former intelligence officers that have signed a petition calling for his access to be reinstated at the ecuadorian embassy in
5:16 pm
london the document was handed over by a former cia officer turned whistle blower. this is from the cia the f.b.i. the military. and we want to make a letter thanking the government would. you give this is to them sanjay's been offline for ten days as ecuador said he put diplomatic ties at risk on twitter with a series of comments about the separatist movement in catalonia the wiki leaks founder has been inside the embassy now for over two thousand days we spoke to the former intelligence officer who handed in the letter to ecuador and officials when i delivered the letter i thought that maybe we had a chance and perhaps we still do have a chance the ecuadorian government gave julian a son should not just ecuadorian citizenship but an ecuadorian diplomatic passport and you know is that how you treat your own citizens in your own diplomats now if they had a problem with something that julian tweeted apparently they do have such a problem then they should punish him i suppose in
5:17 pm
a way commensurate with what it was that he did he issued one tweet i think this is going a little overboard in response assigned to wiki leaks have been behind the release of thousands of confidential documents over the years those despite the whistleblower being unable to leave the embassy in central london as he'd face charges in the u.k. and a possible extradition to the u.s. john kiriakou again told me ecuador is refusing to buckle under pressure from other countries. you know this isn't a one sided thing i'm sure that the ecuadorian government is under great pressure from the united states from the united kingdom perhaps from sweden maybe even australia which is where julian is originally from so certainly there are two sides to this i am sure there's a lot going on behind the scenes that we just don't know we understand the background to this case we also understand how important transparency is and freedom of speech and freedom of the press we wanted the ecuadorian government to know that. the us has impose new sanctions on russia targeting twenty four
5:18 pm
officials and business people as well as fourteen entities the russian foreign ministry has reacted to the measures saying the u.s. is trying to impose its head to its head you money on strong independent states that was the quote it would try and kid next breaks down the latest measures and who exactly is being targeted here. well it's the names that are new the reasons are actually old on the u.s. treasury website you will find the explanation and it says that it's all because i'll quote it for you a range of russia's malign activities abroad and then comes the list it's crimea ukraine russia support of president bashar assad in syria and finally subverting western democracies and malicious cyber activities i'll be a bit more precise with the numbers the list includes seven russian businessmen referred to as all of arc so and some of the wealthiest people in this country then
5:19 pm
seventeen seeing your government officials as well as twelve companies one government oh and weapons trading firm and also a bank the movers and shakers of the russian energy sector will have to watch out for that list with the likes of like say miller who is the c.e.o. of russia's gas giant gazprom featuring on that list washington says they quote unquote benefit from the putin regime and play a key role in russia's activities abroad assets that are under the american jurisdiction belonging to the designated and divisions and companies will be frozen and no american citizens will any longer be able to deal with these people these kind of moves by washington obviously followed here in russia constantine kasich a senator who was also targeted by the measures called them hostile but useless
5:20 pm
in other news tonight washington's approved the sale of artillery with one point three billion dollars to saudi arabia the deal came at the end of the saudi crown prince is three week visit to the u.s. it's thoughts then to be part of one of the biggest arms deals washington signed off on and it includes one hundred eighty how it says systems that can file fire shells at a range of at least twenty four kilometers. or or or. or as. this weapons deal comes with saudi arabia still heavily involved in the yemeni war riyadh first intervened back in twenty fifteen in the situation in yemen has been described by
5:21 pm
the u.n. as the worst manmade humanitarian crisis in modern history twenty two million people are in need of assistance it's estimated a child under the age of five dies every ten minutes there and he arms trade activist sam walton told me he believes the us is complicit in the war to them and has been suffering at the hands of saudi bombardment for over three years now and it's an absolute outrage that the u.s. the u.k. as well continue to arm with saudi arabia and you know that really makes the u.s. and the u.k. complicit in the war crimes that are coming in yemen there's definitely going to be opposition we saw a couple of weeks ago bernie sanders in the senate led a motion to stop arming saudi arabia full stop and that narrowly fell so there would definitely be opposition to it which is good news but really you know there can be no moral excuse for u.s. u.k.
5:22 pm
complicity and what's going on in in yemen at the moment no excuse. meantime thousands of people of the yemeni capital sanaa have been running against the saudi led coalition's bombing campaign of a country a protest also said that condemned the raping of a yemeni girl by a coalition soldier that incident was confirmed by a number of non-governmental organizations last week. u.s. investors are fearing the impact of trade tensions following washington and beijing targeting each other with those massive tariffs stock markets and trading indices have taken a hit in the standoff with the dow jones seeing a major slump this friday on the back of news that donald trump's now reading more action against china with the details from new york caleb maupin. for months global analysts have been fearing and anticipating the possibility of what they would refer to as a trade war between the two largest economies in the world the united states and
5:23 pm
the people's republic of china now it appears that that trade war is now upon us it is now taking place at this point this is what we heard from donald trump more recently we heard this from him yesterday these were his comments let's take a listen in light of china's and fairy tale ye shiwen i have instructed the u.s. to yard to consider whether one hundred billion dollars of additional terrorists would be appropriate under section three zero one and if so to identify the products upon which to pull such terrorists this was china's response to donald trump's actions through warmly. the results of this behavior is to smash your own food with a stone if the united states announces an additional one hundred billion dollars list of terrorists china has already fully prepared and will not hesitate to immediately make the fish counter stroke when the new york stock exchange opened it was down two hundred fifty points at its opening and it has continued to drop as
5:24 pm
the day proceeds the stock market is dropping now let's not forget that donald trump often bragged about the impact of his policies saying that he was responsible for a rise in the stock market throughout two thousand and seventeen he was saying that his presidency was good it was good for the economy to look at the stock market rising that's what donald trump previously said during the first year of his presidency this is trump and employment is at a seventeen year low the stock market is at an all time high and continues to go up up up we want to keep it going but now that trump is escalating what seems to be these what people are essentially calling a trade war with china and tariffs are being imposed and tensions are rising as we're seeing you know an economic clash of the. when the two largest economies in the world the stock market is dropping it's having a big impact not just on the new york stock exchange draw on the global economy so people wonder if donald trump is going to be invoking the stock market any time
