thanks for joining us here on r.t. international live with me. today thanks so much for joining us with the program. and donald 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 they're all 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 have but we do have a very special relationship in fact i'll get that piece and then before. that it will piece we have to make them perfect years perfect from servers 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.

the friendship between our two nations. and ourselves imo there is a break that. nothing will ever separate sounds to me. now we've recently seen the friendship blossom over the issue of war when donald trump 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 convinced him otherwise and 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 donald trump when it comes to the iran deal that people know my views on the around it was a terrible deal that 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 broader picture of 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 is it contains iranian prison since the original and d.c. view it's part of this book rather good not going to be restarting anything they restarted it they could have big problems bigger than they've ever had before and you could mark it down they restart the nuclear program they will have bigger problems and they have ever had before. joint press briefing with president trump

backtracked on his earlier claim that there is no plan b. when it comes to the iran deal. the people. in the barnacle for a number of months i've been saying that this was not a sufficient deal but it will enable us at least until twenty twenty five to have some control over their nuclear activities if we therefore wish to work on a new deal with iran mr president you were saying that there was no plan b. they're not in the. grand deal with to be preserved now you're talking about a new deal with it landrieu why did you change your mind when you david but when i said there was no plan b. if you can i usually refer to the fact there is no plan it be brutal it was about climate change rather than iran's to put it. what do you have as a better option i don't see. what is a what if scenario or your plan b.

i don't have any plan b. for nuclear against iran. military organizations are demanding answers over an alleged saudi led coalition air strike on a wedding party and given the bombing killed at least twenty people and injured dozens more some reports suggest as many as fifty people were killed we have to warn you now the video you're about to see is distressing to watch a small seven year old boy can be seen clinging to his father's body. we understand a family traveled from another part of the country to attend the celebrations the man's body was reportedly the last to be taken away following their strike as the boy wouldn't let go of his father and many of the victims were apparently women and children. i was the bridegroom our friends gathered in our place and were hit by

a near strike many instant people were killed and injured. more than this is my nephew who was injured last night by the airstrike he's two brothers were killed. because like that a number of humanitarian organizations fold their response human rights watch said the coalition continues to target civilians and refuses to adequately investigate or compensate victims oxfam also condemned the attack and cooled for an investigation i mean while riyadh says it's taking the report very seriously and will fully investigate as it has done in the past with similar incidents in saudi led coalition intervened in yemen almost three years ago now to fight the rebels rid considers them terrorists who oppose the legitimate yemeni government the u.n.

as the scribe the conflict as the worst humanitarian crisis in modern history was joined by the former head of the red cross and given explain just how much needs to be done in the country. 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 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. 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 where with

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 task that sounds like it's a technical problem that needs 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 our very them and it's not only one of the most serious crisis that i've 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 war unfortunately poor after the war very little infrastructure so

in a way very little to reconstruct and the problem was we logically should i say it's simple to deal with here you have something which is extremely complex. you have infrastructures which are falling to pieces up to the point of the on the whole system we have commissioned a study from well known british school that's going to carry out a full study of the health system in yemen to know where we are today in yemen you were a very serious crisis there was a food crisis there was also a crisis that has led to one million suspected community cases of cholera last 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 tyee is the difficulty of getting into certain places just what kind of uphill struggle is there for aid workers once they get together 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 in the extremely difficult circumstances indicators of. extremely. tense hard fighting taking place and do the doing this work documenting the cases is something that takes a toll and sometimes takes a toll on the lives of our colleagues. other problem of anti semitism in europe is becoming more widespread with the leaders expressing grave concerns over a rise in attacks against jewish communities the german chancellor's 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 the other form of anti-semitism into the country i fortunately and to sim it isn't existed before that. on the spiked charts of the moguls concerns germany is still opening its doors to ten thousand more migrants from north africa and the middle east the leader of one european anti semitism group a says more needs to be done to tackle the problem. saw i hope that worked on get i missed it will be followed by deeds. and not on the you know as a reply to a 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 all the play which is islamist. which is the far right they should keep in mind you dale's

boss. jewish communities are facing similar problems in neighboring france as well where there are calls for parts of these like holy book the qur'an to be rendered outdated and obsolete specifically passages that mention the murder and punishment of jews french politicians and prominent figures as well as pushing for attitudes to change as part of a manifesto against islam they signed a petition denouncing a quiet ethnic purging that's being driven by rising in the midst of radicalism among the signatories former french president nicolas sarkozy and his wife carla bruni also actor gerard depardieu the ex prime minister. we demanded a fight against this democratic failure that is anti semitism becomes a national cause before it's too late france has the highest the largest the largest jewish community in europe i should say with over half a million people and alice is suggests there's a twenty six percent increase in violent incidents against them just since last

year in many cases this is forcing people to leave france with the semitism reportedly at its worst in 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 surats in the qur'an and calling for a to gain jews again christian against the nonbelievers. to change this to make it actually can make it obsolete that could be part of the solution it's not a fight between muslims and non muslims it's a side between openness between tolerance on one side and on the other side you have darkness you have intolerance you have a. you know it is they it's appears to be preparing for the threat of space warfare

and scrambling to secure off world dominance karen has these details. military defense hollywood style the united states air force has opened its high ground space brigade to 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. with. millions killed the facts change your boards infrastructure. skilled immigration will compete and will when. 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 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. top brass of the air force i cannot think of a military mission that does 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 will the challenging of satellites is one thing the question now is how long will it be before we see actual physical attacks in space where some think it's just a matter of time before american forces find themselves fighting from space were

gone this of whether this is the case or not one thing's for sure the u.s. is determined. to remain a leader in this field the curator of warfare has changed we in vision a constellation of men of satellites always the predator never the pre and one person on able to contain his excitement is the u.s. president space is a war fighting domain name just like the air and sea we may even have a space force develop another one space force with the air force one of the space schools we have the army the navy now you might think there's no no war regulation on taking things a step too far in space but in fact there is almost a decade ago one hundred seventy eight countries voted on a u.n. 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 staking its claim to the stars now we spoke to a physicist on arms control research for dr marc good broods he thinks the space threat is being exaggerated. as to the specifics there are 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 so you know scenario of attacks on civilian infrastructure by 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 a fit lead to an expanded budget could lead to more money for the contractors and i could very well be some of the motivation for people in 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 posse that would seek to avoid war in space too who i weaponization inspiration is our policy that engages proposals forms control in space. now the human rights group b'tselem has released a video showing an israeli soldier cheering how after he shot a palestinian with a rubber bullet in the west bank. how come the. telegram of. this comes. as outrage continues to grow over the israeli defense forces suppression of protests in the gaza strip and just over three weeks of protest that forty palestinians including four children have been shot dead that's led the

united nations and the e.u. as well to call for independent investigations despite that though an israeli general has said that soldiers will continue to shoot everyone who approaches the border fence between gaza and israel including children. to my great story sometimes when you shoot a small body and you intend to his arm or shoulder goes even higher in pictures not a pretty picture if that's the price that we have to pay to preserve the safety and quality of life of the residents of the state of israel and that's the price. now the israeli defense forces have responded to the criticism over their actions in gaza by releasing a picture that appears to show a group of palestinian boys attempting to damage the border fence the i.d.f. says hamas which governs gaza is using youngsters to carry out acts of terror israel's defense minister has also lent his support to the i.d.f. you stressed that protesters should not be approaching the border let's go live now to the stuff of duty general secretary the palestinian national initiative going to

join us live thanks for joining us on the program today i mean what was your reaction to this latest video to emerge from the west bank we have seen a lot of them haven't we have caused outrage what do you make of this one. well it's something that i have seen myself during peaceful demonstrations israeli army uses lethal weapons against peaceful demonstrators who are present no threat whatsoever to the soldiers and they are celebrating the fact that they are killing palestinians. so far four people listed have been killed only during the last three weeks by with lethal weapons while they were peacefully protesting none of them really was representing any threat to the soldiers what is happening is nothing what would what is happening is that this israeli army that claims to have moral values is behaving like

a fascist and is violating every international law and is violating every every regulation that should. how the soldiers would respond to peaceful protesters let me tell you that the vast majority of the people were killed were killed not at the fence as they claim but inside gaza itself. hundreds of meters inside which means that the israeli army and killing literally remind you that one of them was a journalist who was shot and killed there is another journalist who was badly injured and could die we have several palestinian first providers from palestinian medical relief society and the red crescent who were also injured and the total number of people shocked with live ammunition zz's knowledge than one thousand two hundred. this is a crime and it would not be allowed to continue and as you have seen even israeli

human rights organizations are criticizing this behavior of the israeli army which is just practicing. just ask you a question to get as many as possible during the shots i mean it's very clear the i.d.f. do you have a case to answer here because of those civilian casualties as the u.n. have said you have said but i mean just. play the devil's advocate here it's obviously a very it's tragic that these children have died and been injured with these you know these live ammunition as and the other weapons the israeli forces have used but how would you what would you say to those that have said hamas and the parents of those children are responsible as the i.d.f. have said for bringing these miners very small children to a protest where violence is likely to happen it's not some or i would bring my children if i had them perhaps you wouldn't either i mean surely the people that bring children to these protests where violence will happen do bear some responsibility i am not. good to be moved to

do things differently do. and i was shot and injured nine times by the mean several who is including two live a munitions when i was trying to stop the bleeding over an injured. i was shot by a sniper and not now of course in previous demonstrations and in the case of gaza it's not hamas it's all palestinian groups that are participating and it's mainly adults and this not children it's young people yes but mainly everybody is but is it with men women and we've been advocating to hummus and to other groups to give to people not to use military forms but to use peaceful nonviolent the most traditions for sixteen years we've been advocating nonviolence and today they accept our method of nonviolent resistance when we are encountered violence and good good will the military actions from an army does not work that does not respect and human rights then of course that action is very severe but up to now

nobody changed the message of nonviolent resistance and i am so proud of our people that decided to stick to nonviolence in the best traditions of gandhi and martin luther king to claim that this is how mass only organized is the wrong thing everybody is participating in that and the army is behaving in this manner not only in gaza but here in ramallah in the west bank. two fridays ago they attacked our first providers sprayed them with pepper i want to throw it out i'm sorry i was already interrupt you but i just want to get as many questions as i carried off to this outcry that's been caused yes because it was their idea of section do you expect already have to stop using live ammunition to change the tactics they used because of this outrage that's been caused by pop wipe civilian deaths. absolutely i think the international pressure is increasing what is on our side very much is the fact that the young people are using social media to penetrate the. blockage

that is imposed on us unfortunately by certain mainstream media's especially american media and i think they use of social media is showing the truth that he ality and all we want is for the world is to know the truth and exercise pressure on this country that it which is israel that claims to be a democracy why abuse in force in this manner ok what stuff about getting general secretary of the palestinian national initiative thanks for giving us your take here today on r.t. thank you for your time. the man suspected of deliberately plowing a valiant to put astronauts in the canadian city of toronto on mondays been charged with ten counts of first degree murder.
