thanks for joining us here on live from moscow hawkins wherever you are today you're very welcome with us on the program and donald trump is heaping praise on his guests. 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're here but we do have a very special relationship in fact i get that piece and therefore. that little 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. let's get more on that now from our u.s. correspondent tale of wolf caleb not often trumps happy with media coverage is it seems. well a good mood today well it was certainly a colorful welcome given to the french president at the white house however the charm offensive didn't go exactly as many thought possibly was planned now the french president stuck to his rhetoric about the usa being a guarantor of contemporary multi-lateralism but when he brought that up donald trump didn't seem quite receptive to those words this is trump and mcclaren. refinished at least almost our work with respect to isis in syria isis in iraq and we have done the job that nobody has been able to do. in syria we are together

engaged within the international coalition against isis terrorists and we will continue to act within this framework until the end until victory that being said in the long run we need to bring peace want to make sure that syria does not become an enemy in the region. now earlier we've heard mccraw on bragging saying that he was responsible for convincing donald trump not to remove u.s. military forces from syria however donald trump does not agree with that narrative of events let's take a listen. as far as syria's concerned i would love to get out i'd love to bring our incredible warriors back home they've done a great job. now when it came to the iran deal just an hour before the press conference donald trump and the french president they were both very adamant in their positions trump was at that point saying what he said for a long time which is opposition to the p five plus one conclusion in the nuclear

deal whereas mcclellan was saying that there was no good plan b. that they needed to stick to the nuclear deal this is what they were saying prior to today's meeting. but people know my views on the other end it was a terrible being old should have never ever been made we could have made a good deal or a reasonable deal and 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 oval region it's insane it's ridiculous it should have never been made but we will be talking about what we want to do is to contain the iranian residents and the bridges and d.c. view it's part of this broad broad if we cannot going to be restarting anything they restart 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. but just an hour after sitting down with

the donald it seems that mcclellan has changed his tune somewhat this is mccraw on after meeting with trump. 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 we therefore wish to work on a new deal with iran mr president you were saying that it was no plan b. . not to. do it was iran deal with to be preserved no you were talking about a new deal with it than why did you change your mind. but when i said there was no plan b. i usually refer to the fact there is no plan it be it was about climate change rather than iran. what do you have 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 so i'd like your relationship especially given those

recent events in syria of course as well caleb moore been there from washington give us the latest on micron's first official state visit to the united states. how humanitarian organizations are demanding answers over an alleged saudi led airstrike on a wedding party in yemen the bombing killed at least twenty people injuring dozens more some reports suggest as many as fifty people were killed please do be warned that the video we're about to show you is distressing to watch our small seven year old boy can receive in the footage clinging to his father's body are said to have traveled from another part of the country to attend the celebrations the man's body was allegedly the last to be taken away following the airstrike as the boy wouldn't let go many of the victims were 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 was my nephew who was injured last night by the airstrike he's two brothers who were killed. now we contacted a number of humanitarian organizations for that response as well for human rights watch said the coalition continues to target civilians and refuses to adequately investigate or compensate victims oxfam also condemned the attack and called for an investigation. itself meanwhile says it's taking the report very seriously and will fully investigate as it has done in the past with similar incidents the saudi led coalition intervened in yemen almost three years ago now to fight tooth and rebels

red considers them terrorists who oppose the legitimate yemeni government the united nations as the scribe the conflict as the worst humanitarian crisis in modern history. joined by the former head of the red cross and you haven't explained 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 have 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 extent allowed in but the problem is that more is needed to ensure 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 tones and 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 avera 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 too to reconstruct and the problem was we logically 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 a well known british school that's going to carry out a full study of the health system in the moment to two 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 cases of cholera last year in a matter of six months it was 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 in the extremely difficult circumstances and because of the extremely. tense hard fighting taking place doing this work documenting the cases is something that takes a toll and sometimes takes a toll on the lives of our colleagues. the problem of anti semitism in europe's becoming more widespread with leaders expressing grave concerns over a rise in attacks against jewish communities and 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 unfortunately and to cement isn't existed before that. despite chancellor merkel's concerns germany still opening its doors to ten thousand more migrants from north africa and the middle east 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 and obsolete specifically passages that mention the murder and punishment of jews french politicians as well as prominent figures as well as pushing for attitudes to change in our part of a manifesto against anti semitism they signed a petition denouncing a quiet ethnic purging that's being driven by rising is the most radicalism among the signatories former french president nicolas sarkozy and his wife carla bruni.

prime minister manuel volves as well well joining me live now is yes a lot of human rights activists who specializes on islamophobia and national security thanks for joining us today what do you make of this man i first saw and boy french public figures i mean do you think the semitism has really become an increasing serious that threat for jews living in europe. what are for certain if not forget to who would be one of the jews in the last century i wonder if it were other african migrants or their friends states and the german state which got into the genocide of the jews was the second word is done has been done and at most you put your own campaign to equate anti-semitism with that with anti-semitism but was speaking about this column scienter a few days ago in that he was media in france so first let's look at who overloaded . the former shaadi abdul the managing editor who cord for the war on iraq him

and nicolas sarkozy who actually got into war in libya both the war which would lead to the rise of isis in iraq and libya as another form of the us laws you saw accordant musta missed pacific anti-semitism what i truly wonder how they came to this conclusion with the fact that for example in january twentieth fifteen out of the shot he had to do and the are you cautious of or market dogs for us as a hornet with it's only a lease among among those who signed the get the open did not say just to be sure even they said just me shiny meaning that's what matters most evy a shot here do ideology and not that the jewish lives all good people who were killed and more simply wanted this a crowded room for human life so no of course that there was a whitewash of french specific anti-semitism and of course it comes in handy to put it on the back of muslims are now speaking about the rise of think by semitism in

france but of course there was a rise of racism as a whole in france and to goor that j.t. if the jews didn't run agency in most the jews a book eighty five percent of them would leave france do not go to france because of anti-semitism they leave the france because it's secure don't fundamentally isn't the same ideology being carried by those who signed that card on the likes of from. prime minister money good advice from the president nicolas sarkozy and of course. the former head of shall you do but the most dangerous part of this is that even the good the rabbi of france i've got a young son that they're going to be instead of putting in a rivalry in the jewish and the ones you might normally do use of bullets victims of racism in france and does influence not will of course it is most important dangerous because now there are thirty praying with fly europe by making it nor mortal danger to indiscriminately i think muslims as

a whole imply and make them responsible for what the first is doing just want to jump in with this question yes i mean obviously all racism is important to be called out and condemned whether it's islamophobia or anti-semitism what do you make of chancellor merkel's claim though that you know this influx of migrants has created that increase and there is a statistical increase in anti-semitism in france that's been been proven nevertheless bringing in a lot of more refugees what do you make of that claim so where are the it was coming from is it because you're going to miracle if you strong. well i believe i'm the joint to do i'm going to michael jordan drew a parallel between this influx of migrants but i mean is there some concern that muslim countries have not muster good jews there where you will be in countries so i'm sorry i'm not taking advice from angela merkel or nicolas of course you know the white washing of your being anti-semitism isn't is right now is up and running so i'm sorry it's not because i'm going to america it says it is true and now if

they want to you know count the eye dogs if the jews are being a drug industry moves are attacked as who and the right every single time you see a rise of anti-semitism is going to be increased because booth minorities are perceived as were entities but it is a lot easier to attack listening isn't done to attack it jews and and today you do need to be jewish lives are not more important to jewish not twentieth century sir said there should be shouting instead of saying i am jewish when jews were killed for being jews and not to work for something you have done or said that to me is is sufficient to send out you know if this were bad is very sort of dropped yes and we are running out of time but it's very interesting to have your take on what you know what's clearly a very serious issue on both sides of the the argument had today human rights civil liberties activist yes hello r.t. thanks for giving us your take today here in r.t. international. how the u.s.

appears to be preparing for threats of space warfare and scrambling to secure off world dominance the karens got the latest. military defense hollywood style the united states air force has opened its high ground of space for day to other nations other air forces who dream of making such a claim but what if their dream became reality never expects something trust to turn against you. millions give you facts. your board's infrastructure. so. skilled immigration 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 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 there's not depend on space russia and china are developing capabilities to disable our satellites as the u.s. things ahead with its space odyssey it's pouring in billions and roping in the likes of space x. is a long muskrats proven he can not only deliver but he brings the goods fast but will the channeling 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 we're going to say whether this is the case or not one thing's for sure the u.s. is deterred. and to remain a leader in this field the curator of warfare has changed in vision a constellation of man of satellites always the predator never the pre and one person on able to contain his excitement is the us 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 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 staking its claim to the stars and we spoke to a physicist an arms control research dr mark good to think the so-called 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 civilians for 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 to put 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 pushing this idea i think it's high time

that americans woke up to that and realize that we need a different policy when you look poesy that would seek to avoid war in space too who i weaponization inspiration is our policy that engages proposals forms control in space. on the headlines the human rights group b'tselem has released a video showing an israeli soldier cheering after he allegedly shot a palestinian with a rubber bullet in the west bank oh. oh. oh oh oh oh. oh. oh oh. oh the bottom of. the. list comes as anger continues to mount over the israeli defense forces suppression of protests in the gaza strip in just over three weeks of protests there forty

palestinians including four children have been shot that has led the united nations and the e.u. both to call for independent investigations but 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 minus. to my great sorrow sometimes when you shoot a small body and you intend to his arm or shoulder it goes even higher the picture is 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. of the israeli defense forces have responded to the criticism over their actions in gaza by releasing a picture which appears to show a group of palestinian boys attempting to damage the border fence the i.d.f. says hamas which governs gaza or is using youngsters to carry out acts of terror israel's defense minister has also lent his support to the i.d.f. he stressed that protesters should not be approaching the border i spoke earlier to

mustapha. general secretary of the palestinian national initiative. well it's something that i have seen myself during peaceful demonstrations as the israeli army uses lethal weapons against peaceful demands to do it would presume north over to the soldiers and they are celebrating the fact the palestinians is very clear the i.d.f. do you have a case to answer here because of those civilian casualties as the un have said you have said what would you say to those that have said hamas or the parents of those children are responsible as the i.d.f. of said for bringing these miners very small children to a protest where violence is likely to happen with young people yes. everybody is but is it with men women and we've been getting to her mouth and to other groups to give to people not to use military forms but to use peaceful nonviolent demonstrations for sixteen years we've been advocating nonviolence and to did they

accept our method of nonviolent resistance all you want is for the world is to know the truth. on this country which is that it claims to be a democracy why use in force in this manner. and the u.k.'s defense secretary has again heads out at moscow and said his country needs to reassess the threat from the russian government be have to be realistic about the challenges the challenges are posed by russia greater than the challenges presented as an insurgency in terms of iraq and afghanistan or russia and the perceived threat coming from the kremlin was at the top of the agenda at the g seven meeting in toronto canada officials there described moscow's behavior as irresponsible and destabilizing u.k. foreign secretary called for joint efforts against moscow. what we decided was that we were going to set up

a jew servant group that would look at russian malign behavior in all this money frustrations whether it's cyber war whether it's this information assassination attempts whatever it happens to be and collectively try and call it out we spoke to a u.k. veteran of the war in afghanistan what he thought about the defense secretary's comment greatest threat to britain security internal and external governments in london my qualification to speak. one operational talk with british i mean how me standing twenty twelve there was only one thing that truly scared me two of my ability to so and that was a criminal incompetence of the british commanders now as a civilian one thing that scares me most is the actions of my government they are the greatest threat to security prosperity. now with just over fifty days before the world cup kicks off here in russia artie's star studded
