still live from moscow with me daniel hawkins wherever you are today thanks for joining us on the program trump is heaping praise on his guests during the first official state visit to washington the u.s. president called the relationship between america and france a special one. mr president the old saying what a great relationship we have and they're actually correct it's not fake news finally it's not fake news so it's a great honor great honor that you're here but we do have a very special relationship in fact i'll get that piece and then we're going. to get a piece we have to make them perfectly is perfect so it is really it is really great to be with you and your special friend and. i would get more on that from the u.s. correspondent caleb open very cozy there although the two presidents it's not often also that trump was happy with the media coverage the the press got
1:02 pm
a bit of praise that. all good and bad and we understand yes observers of world politics have long commented on the blossoming political friendship between trump and the chron we all recall how last year donald trump visited the city of love paris and the two world leaders really seemed to hit it off and now we see this once again in the a first official state visit we have the crown visiting the white house so this is what happened when trump was in paris. the friendship between our two nations. and ourselves. is a break that. nothing will ever separate sounds. now we've recently seen the friendship blossom over the issue of war when donald trump
1:03 pm
announced that he was conducting air strikes against the syrian arab republic he had the support of france in doing so france militarily cooperated with the usa in order to carry these airstrikes out now more recently we've heard a cron take credit for urging donald trump to keep a u.s. military presence in syria apparently trump was talking of withdrawing u.s. troops from syria but necron convince him otherwise now the white house says that that's not the case they were not convinced by the french president but regardless we've now even seen statements from a cron talking about the relationship between france and the usa in a multilateral world protecting the world from great security issues now there is a very strong point of disagreement between the crown and trump when it comes to international issues and that would be the iran deal the conclusion of the p five plus one nuclear negotiations mccrossin says that there is no good plan b. and that deal needs to stay intact however we've heard very different rhetoric from
1:04 pm
donald trump when it comes to the iran deal this is trump and the crown speaking about something they clearly don't see eye to eye about but people know my views on the around it was a terrible being old should have never ever been made we could have made a good deal or a reasonable deal the original was a terrible deal we have to take it as a part of the road because your trip which is security in the region it's insane it's ridiculous it should have never been made but we will be talking of what we want to do it contains iranian residents and the bridges and d.c. view it's part of the growth rather good not going to be restarting anything they restart it they could have big problems bigger than they've ever had before and you can mark it down they restart their nuclear program they will have bigger problems and they have ever had before. now we've heard the two world leaders speaking from the white house they've made comments there's been
1:05 pm
a lot of discussion about trade relations between the usa and the european union but at the moment it seems pretty clear that this blossoming political friendship some might call it even a political romance but it's certainly continuing. the tease that bring us the latest on that first state official visit by president micron to the united states . humanitarian organizations are demanding answers over an alleged saudi led coalition air strike on a wedding party in yemen the bombing killed at least twenty people injured dozens more some reports suggest as many as fifty may have been killed now we do need to warn you the video you're about to see is distressing to what you can see in the photos coming off a small seven year old boy can be seen clinging to his father's body we understand the family travelled from another part of the country to attend the celebrations the man's body was the last to be taken away following the strike as the boy
1:06 pm
allegedly wouldn't let go of him and many of the victims of course women and children. i was the bridegroom our friends gathered in our place and were hit by a news trade many in some people were killed and injured. one and this was my nephew who was injured last night by the airstrike he's two brothers who were killed. we contacted a number of humanitarian organizations for their response human rights watch said the coalition continues to target civilians and refuses to adequately investigate or compensate victims oxfam condemned the attack and called for an investigation
1:07 pm
well meanwhile riyadh says it's taking the report very seriously and will fully investigate as it has done in the past with similar incidents as well saudi led coalition intervened in yemen almost three years ago now to fight the rebels riyadh considers them terrorists who oppose the legitimate yemeni government the u.n. has described the conflict as the worst humanitarian crisis in modern history i was joined last hour by the former head of the red cross and given who's just completed his assignment there he described just how much more needs to be done. why didn't the family in and there is a problem with a structural collapse of the system in yemen you have problems of water you have problems of sanitation we in the international red cross we try to fix those problems otherwise there would maybe not be any running water and so on anymore so there is no doubt that what is coming into the country at the moment is not enough
1:08 pm
and more should be done humanitarian aid is to some to a large extent allowed in but the problem is that more is needed when sure a decent level of life for the population otherwise the country goes downhill the problem is is one of a structural decay. yemen is not a country like you can find another come hell somewhere with village a little infrastructure in yemen you have a lot of infrastructure and this particular infrastructure is falling to pieces and we international organization including the i.c.r.c. we try to do what we can to support these structures but of course we can only do so much so i do agree with you that bringing back the country on the on back on its feet will be a long long lasting tones and sounds like it's a technical problem they need to dealing with that aid is somehow just a front line is to do with water and food but it's not it's a there are few doctors the ones who are there are being paid the very structures of what the country needs in order to keep rolling and keep facilitating just avera
1:09 pm
the mind it's not only one of the most serious crisis that i have seen it's also as you point out one of the most complicated i have seen and i am afraid that this is becoming a feature of some of the conflicts you know some of the conflict where i work at the beginning of my career were very poor country there were poor before the war poor doing the one unfortunately poor after the war very little infrastructure so in a way very little too to reconstruct and the problem was reluctantly should i say simple to deal with here you have something which is extremely complex you. infrastructures which are falling to pieces up to the point that on the whole system we have commissioned a study from the well known british school that's going to carry out a full study of the health system in yemen to see to know where we are today in yemen you were very serious crisis there is a food crisis there is also a crisis that has led to one million suspected community of cases of cholera last
1:10 pm
year in a matter of six months it went like bushfire in twenty two years in the i.c.r.c. had never seen something like that and feel like an almost impossible task though because you broke almost a year ago quite passionately about your experience in thai ease the difficulty of getting into certain places just what kind of uphill struggle is there for aid workers once they get again unfortunately we had a tragedy three days ago where one of the staff of the yemen delegation was killed in today's and and today i cannot help but think about him his family and and wife and this you know explain is a stark reminder that working in human remains extremely difficult we do it under extremely difficult circumstances and because of the extremely. tense hard fighting taking place doing this work documenting the cases is something that
1:11 pm
takes a toll and sometimes takes a toll on the lives of our colleagues. the problem of id semitism in europe is becoming more widespread with the leaders expressing grave concerns there are a rise in attacks against jewish communities the german chancellor is partially laying the blame on an influx of arab migrants. noire we have a new phenomenon as we have many refuges among whom there are for example people of arab origin who bring in other form of anti-semitism into the country i fortunately anticipate isn't existed before that. despite chancellor merkel's concerns germany still opening its doors to the ten thousand more migrants from north africa in the middle east's the leader of one european anti semitism group says more needs to be done to tackle the problem saw i hope that works on get our message to say it will be followed by deeds. and not on you you know as
1:12 pm
a republic to comment on the recent event it's not an issue for jews actually it's an issue for europe jews are the first target but when jews will fall the other will follow more and more people will think that. they will be able to clear the play which is islamist. which is the far right they should keep in mind your day of boss and jewish communities are facing similar problems in neighboring france as well there are calls for parts of the islamic holy book the koran to be rendered outdated obsolete specifically passages that mention the murder and punishment of jews french politicians and prominent figures are pushing for attitudes to change as part of a manifesto against anti-semitism they signed a petition denouncing a quiet ethnic purging that's being driven by rising islamist radicalism among the signatories former french president nicolas sarkozy and his wife carla bruni actor
1:13 pm
gerard depardieu and ex prime minister monti well valve's we demanded a fight against this democratic failure that is anti semitism becomes a national cause before it's too late. france has the largest jewish community in europe with over half a million people analysis suggests there's a twenty six percent increase in violent incidents against them since twenty seventeen in many cases this is forcing people to leave france with anti semitism reportedly at its worse than immigrant neighborhoods again the president of the belgian league against anti semitism believes we're seeing a worrying trend but is very new in this article is that they go to the core of the problem speaking about some. verses some soroti in the qur'an and calling for a to gain jews again christian against the nonbelievers. to change
1:14 pm
this to make it actually can make it obsolete that could be part of the solution it's not a fight between muslims and the most teams it's a side between openness between toller runs on one side and on the other side us darkness us intolerance us a the us steps up its ambitions in space and washington though says it's not for sharing the final frontier of that story and more after this short break.

david and. other news the u.s. have peers to be preparing for the threat of space warfare and scrambling to secure off world dominance and scope more details. military defense hollywood style the united states air force has owned its high ground of space for dating other nations other air forces who dream of making such a claim but what if their dream became a reality never expects something trust to turn against you. millions give you facts. your boards infrastructure. so. you. will compete and will win. the u.s. has unveiled its latest splurge in space with a plan to step up security on its satellites not just its own those of its allies
1:19 pm
to the concern is that potential adverse stories may be capable of hacking or disabling the satellites we were watching hardware as we know is crucial to communication navigation and intelligence gathering all things that would be crucial in the advent of war and it's hope that by sharing this information with its allies that would deter any potential attacks but is just the tip of the iceberg because space warfare is the big defense trend right now which the new black don't take my word for it ask the u.s. the top brass of the air force i cannot think of a military mission to not depend on space russia and china are developing capabilities to disable our satellites as the u.s. deems ahead with its space odyssey it's pouring in billions and roping in the likes of space that is a long muskrats proven he can not only deliver but he brings the goods fast but with john king of satellites is one thing the question now is how long will it be

1:21 pm
a un resolution to prevent a space arms race only two countries abstained the u.s. and israel washington also blocked a joint russian chinese effort to ban all weapons in space so perhaps an inkling that the u.s. has long been planning on stake its claim to the stars we spoke to physicists in arms control research for dr mark do you think the space threat is being exaggerated. as to the specifics there the specific threats i think much of this is exaggerated actually. the notion that some other country is going to attack the united states sort of scenario of attacks on civilians or strikes or via space i think is quite overblown are mostly some people in congress almost entirely republican and these are the people who have been pushing this idea i don't think the military really wants it lead to an extended budget could lead to more money for the contractors and i could very well be some of the motivation for people in
1:22 pm
congress to be pursing this idea i think it's high time that americans woke up to that and realize that we need a different policy we need a policy that would seek to avoid war in space too who i rep is asian is based on a policy that engages proposals forms controls. now the headlines moscow says it's not satisfied with the u.k.'s responses to its questions about the poisoning of a former double agent time his daughter in the south of england last month in an attempt to cut through all the confusion to russians have put some questions of their own to the head of the o.p.c. w. international chemical weapons watchdog what i gather if joins us now with more well the two russian prime kids who are infamous still speak lightly they they've really released the recording where they prag the head of the w. the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons mid june truth now will these two individuals the prank is what they usually do is they call up heads of
