israel deploys tanks and snipers to the gaza border where it's thought at least age palestinians have been killed in an occupation protest. you say don't just say russian former spy satellites could have found is no longer in critical condition after last month's poisoning in song as the british media continues to speculate where the nerve agent was produced. and former u.s. intelligence officers back we can expand and julian assange sure has been forced off line by the ecuadorian embassy in london over comments about catalonia. dorrian government give julian assange not just the durian citizenship but the dorrian diplomatic passport and you know is that how you treat your own citizens in your

own diplomats i think this is going a little overboard response. thank you for joining us here at r.t. international broadcasting live from moscow i'm kate cartridge. at least eight palestinians have reportedly been killed by israeli gunfire on the gaza border the palestinian health ministry says more than a thousand protesters were injured including six local journalists correspondents have been reporting from both sides of the gaza border. when now maybe one hundred meters only far away from the fence you can see the crowd you can see the protesters lie then hundreds of thousands of palestinians have been here since the morning.

tensions are running high right now as the israeli army started to shoot randomly. the. more palestinians are getting injured why the ambulances are already here too pretty to take on the injuries that we're now injured from days already i mean that by live. and i mean nation and get 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 crowds ambulance and on the medics are trying to say father and uys. the to seniors are very close to the fence and no are getting out way back because the by israeli army arabs are shooting everyone who's getting near to the funds.

this guy is squarely of the tires the palestinian youth have been lying since the morning and at the same time the israeli army have been throwing tear gas canisters and targeting the palestinians where the funds. are. as you see the palestinian protesters are running away from the tear gas canisters that were thrown just right now and the protesters. so these are unexploded did gas canisters that are being targeted and shoot to on the palestinian protesters. thousands of hundreds of palestinians have been here since the morning and we saw palestinian protesters burning the. it's

flags and israeli flags and also saying slogans against the israelis and the american sense the 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 with 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 are aiming at them with molotov cocktails and the like i'm standing in a closed military zone the israelis have brought in reinforcements there are tanks on the border we're not allowed to go closer to the border where i'm actually standing the israeli snipers are also aware that the palestinians are using pieces 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 or crowds flocked to the gaza border throughout friday what's being called the great march of return these are drawing pictures captured by artie's video agency ruptly palestinians are demanding access to ancestral lands which are now in israeli territory and you can see tents have been pitched in the area and in the distance you can see some want smoke from burning tires that have been placed a long the heavily fortified frontier. well the israeli defense forces say the protestors posed a serious danger a spokesperson for the i.d.f. posted on twitter saying rioters attempted to cross the security fence and set off

explosive devices in an attempted terrorist attack yet the u.n. says the use of live ammunition by the israeli forces was unnecessary and could amount to a breach of the geneva convention and 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 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 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 all the protests have become the deadliest in years in the militant group hamas has said they will continue for six weeks. i am not the i am.

the u.k. has denied victoria script out of the niece of poisoned former double agent set against group our visa the u.k. home office has issued a statement saying her application failed to comply with immigration rules but victoria believes britain has something to hide and said she was expecting the refusal earlier on friday sort of a script out regain consciousness and is no longer in a critical condition artie's media rich as the details we don't know that much but we have got a statement from the district hospital released by dr christina blanche others the medical director and she said that that's ok script is responding well to treatment improving rapidly and is no longer in a critical condition and those are the details we have we also know that cripples

daughter unit 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 incident has 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 immediately after the attack the finger was pointed at russia as the perpetrator almost implying that both so gay and nuclear 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 matter. rout did spiral britain expelled twenty three russian diplomats russia retaliated to that expelling the same number and spread to the

european partners and the us 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 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 when we were russia's foreign minister has hit back at the latest round of media speculation about where the nerve agent used against the scrip ours was produced. as far as reports about novacek nerve agent production in the seraphs region are concerns london is from sickly looking for confirmation of its unsubstantiated position. well major british newspaper ran

a headline based on anonymous sources saying they'd been pointed to the production of norwich up to the outskirts of moscow artie's jaclyn dugar picks up the story. the script locator saw an 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 laboratory is stunned but we're not the media and their sources have it covered. 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 son isn't certain but says it's near moscow sources not one hundred percent certain about the location but highly confident i'm convinced about you their sources say that the yasin of allowed is one of a handful in the world that can produce snow or chalk the sun has exclusively

uncovered a moscow suburb lab that the opi c.w. couldn't use their programming you know. it's well there was 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 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 the next day back to what sells best now the u.s. has stepped up its sanctions against russia more on that after the break.

also was to question whether it was very reasonable to react with sanctions and up breaking the dialogue between the russia still wants to come to the east. as one of those countries that is firmly convinced that it is necessary and will be necessary to keep up this dialogue and still talk. about all the metros. after weeks of media hysterics in official claims without a shred of evidence the case that russia was behind the solsbury poisoning incident is falling apart transparency in the rule of law have never played a role what happens next sadly is only to predict.

what politicians do. they put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected . so when you want to be president one should. want to. have two going to press the slightly before three of them or can't be good. interested always in the waters in the how. things should. sell you on the idea that dropping bombs brings police to the chicken hawks forcing you to fight the battles they don't. produce offspring to tell you that what we gossip the tabloids but also the most important. off the bad guys who tell me you are not cool enough to buy their product. all the hawks that we along with all the one.

welcome back former intelligence officers have launched a petition in support of julian a song they want the ecuadorian embassy way he's been staying since twenty twelve to restore his internet connection the letter was handed over by a former cia officer turned whistle blower. it's restrained cia f.b.i. the military. wanted to go there thinking the government would hurt you if you give this to them well a soldier's online access was caught after he wrote a series of tweets about the separatist movement in catalonia ecuador accused him of putting diplomatic relations at risk john kiriakou the former officer who handed in the lesser told us ecuador needs to stand up for the person they're protecting.

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 not just ecuadorian citizenship but an ecuadorian diplomatic passport and you know is that how you treat your own citizens and your own diplomats now if they had a problem with something that julian had tweeted apparently they do have such a problem then they should punish him i suppose in a way commensurate with what it was that he did he issued one tweet i think this is going a little overboard in response well it sounds on wiki leaks have been behind the release of thousands of khan's potential documents for over a decade that's despite the whistleblower being unable to leave the embassy in central london as he would face charges in the u.k. and possible extradition to the u.s. john kiriakou says 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 ridgeley from so certainly there are two sides to this i am sure there is 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 u.s. has imposed new sanctions on russia targeting twenty four officials and business people as well as fourteen entities the russian foreign ministry has reacted to the measure saying the u.s. is trying to impose its head gemini even on strong independent states. breaks down the latest measures and who is being targeted while 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 all quoted 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 seventeen seeing your government officials as well as twelve companies one government owned 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 individuals 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. the u.s. government has approved the sale of artillery worth one point three billion dollars to saudi arabia the deal comes at the end of the saudi crown prince's three week visit to the u.s. it's part of one of the biggest arms deals washington has ever signed. however. the and. thank. you and. i

thank you and. thank our all weapons deal comes with saudi arabia still heavily involved in the yemeni war riyadh first intervened in twenty fifteen and the situation in yemen is described by the un as the worst manmade humanitarian crisis in modern history twenty two million people are in need of assistance with a child under five dying every ten minutes and he arms trade activist sam walton thinks the us is complicit in the war 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 u.k. complicit in the war crimes that are happening 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 us u.k. complicity and what's going on in in yemen at the moment no excuse. thousands of people in yemen's capital sanaa meanwhile have been rallying against the saudi led coalition's bombing campaign a protest also condemned the raping of a yemeni go by a coalition soldier. now u.s. stocks have tumbled over fears of a trade war with beijing the dow jones lost almost six hundred points on friday after president trying to impose new tariffs worth one hundred billion dollars a year on imports from china artie's kellam orpen reports from you. 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 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 unfair to tell you 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 only. 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

a 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 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 that. in 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 but on the global economy so people wonder if donald trump is going to be invoking out the stock market any time sell. well for more on this issue we're now joined by american economist john perkins junk thank you very much indeed for joining us well judging by the stock market they are meeting best as they do saying rattles by and donald trump latest terrorist threat one sees that this island well i think there's no question that there's a trade war in the in the process of being made and we've seen in the past how destructive these things can be in the trade war back in one thousand nine hundred thirty really contributed to the crash of the stock market of the one nine hundred twenty nine one thousand nine hundred eighty and i think people are afraid that something like this is going to happen because definitely there's that there's a trade war going on and you know trump imposed tariffs on steel and the chinese retaliated then trump and closed tariffs on an intellectual property rights

and the chinese retaliated and now he's imposing more so we really are in the process of a trade war we'll have to see what happens when these if these things are actually implemented but right now we can very very serious well it's also look at recent events the u.s. has imposed sanctions on russia at the same time as the chinese foreign minister said relations between russia and china are at the best level in history i mean is that the incidents. i don't think it's a coincidence at all and as it as an american terrorist it's terrifies me and i think i think trump is making some big mistakes he's playing your extreme brinksmanship and while he claims to be the great negotiator which maybe he is and he can play that kind of game in real estate and if he loses so what he loses some money but it when you're playing it on the international level like this it can create serious serious problems and i think that's a big concern total all of us and that's why the stock market is crashing because business is a very very concerned well thomas proposed house mccabe let's look at the robotics

i.t. communications aerospace i mean could you say products in my sect is becoming more expensive for american consumers and absolutely you know a trade war like this doesn't benefit anyone ultimately and it can result in disastrous global consequences yeah i disastrous for americans it's disastrous for joining us in the sanctions are disastrous for russia it's a very very difficult situation where the mentality behind the u.s. how is that meant to protect national industries from unfair competition that's the ideology behind it but do you think in any way that they will help no you know it let me rephrase that they might have some specific industries but they won't help all the related industries and so there's a lot of industries in this in the united states that need steel that need the things that taxes that the tariff that they imposed on so ultimately in a trade war like this ultimately everybody loses and finally on that particular

night then john i mean if this trade war does escalate as if you've hinted at what you think could be the effects of the wind a global economy. you know i hate to say it but is it as i've already said it back in during the great depression of one nine hundred twenty nine and thirty some of that was the consequence of a trade war that was brought about and you know we've always seen when the bin trade wars that it's bad for overall economic growth i think you know again i i hate to say this but i think it could result in something that not unlike what happened in that in the thirty's i hope that it will not go that far i can't believe that it will you know that i don't know any economists and reasonable economists academic economists are economists and i've somehow associated with the administration that think that or in support of these tariffs economists know that trade wars and tariff restrictions like this hurt free trade is good for everyone

and restricted trade is bad for everyone else to have like nails and wiring taken as a junk american economist thank you very much indeed thank you letter. i will be back in just over half an hour the latest news but from all in the meantime as we call. it's the cradle of jazz. is america the america we. know this jazz feel. the city of climatic contest trophies alligators on the list of poverty and crime close most.
