is this. victory for trump. clear is a sure. thing. to be awarded the nobel peace prize. for progress on the korean peninsula. a human rights organization. over the israeli. i spent six. week in the intensive care unit and i didn't think my leg would be like. the british police. force disproportionately.

every morning. thanks for joining us with. success if explosions have a military bases in syria reportedly triggering quake in the area a state media reporting the syrian government saying that this was a rocket attack and branding it quote yet another aggression by enemies of the state explosions were heard in hama and reportedly killing and injuring dozens reports are also coming in that one of the targets was a recruitment center for iranian militias which support the syrian government prompting some speculation that the israeli military may be responsible for the strikes. the historic meeting between the leaders of north and south

korea saw the two sides pledge to rid the peninsula of nuclear weapons before years and apart from denuclearize ation the states agreed on friday to formally end the korean war that of course dates back over a century of a valve to sign a peace treaty agreeing to involve the u.s. and china in the process now the american president on a trump was quick to take credit for the easing of tensions on the peninsula with supporters saying he should now get the nobel prize in his latest tweet he suggested he's more deserving than the previous u.s. presidential recipient barack obama and at a rally on saturday his fans seem to agree the nuclearization. korean should thank you thank you thank you thank you. it was. easy could have done if now takes

a closer look at whether thought all trump does this is the nobel peace prize. the nobel peace prize an award for human rights champions peacekeepers and presidents who would later drop at least twenty six thousand bombs on seven foreign nations in just one year the prize is clearly viewed as such a meaty addition to donald trump's track record that someone under a stolen identity actually forged his nomination for the award two years in a row supporters of the idea have named the negotiations between the koreas as trump's main qualification for real this time. what do you think. president trump had to do with it i'll tell you what i like about everything. and as we've been told the trump has the best words and those he applied to north korea directly is a sick puppy rocket man is on

a suicide mission for himself obviously he's a pretty smart cookie we all saw the intricate game of diplomacy we will have no choice but to totally destroy north korea they will be met with fire fury witnessed trump a saying that whole quid pro quo thing we are sending an armada. very paraffin. we have submarines very powerful and i will say this he is doing the wrong thing is making a big mistake let's be frank those who call trump a peacemaker more or less share the logic of those who nicknamed the shotgun a persuader trump style of making peace equally applies to iran big government that gives terrorist safe harbor financial backing i am speaking of course of iran the

rogue regime iran can sprint towards a rapid nuclear weapons. know where no matter where you go in the middle east. you see the fingerprints of iran behind problems for goodness sake he appointed as national security advisor a man who just last year thought this was a good idea and that the c word twenty nine. here. syria's felt the full impact of trumps peacemaking if things keep going the way they are the country will be celebrating the annual tomahawked day sometime around mid spring but again may be a nobel peace prize and trump do fit together the end of the day after all what does obama get to have all the nice things. we spoke to max blumenthal

a journalist and author he believes the improvement of relations on the korean peninsula has nothing to do with donald trump. donald trump's policy towards the koreas has been one of hostility sanctions of threats fired hereis defense minister jim matt is threatening north korea with extermination and their policy essentially failed because nuclearization in north korea succeeded because kim jong un extended an olive branch to the south because mungy it has been so courageous it is efforts to reconcile with the north and so really calls for donald trump to receive a nobel prize really reflects how insular and parochial view right wing is right wing supporters is donald trump has really not played a role in the then. around north and south korea.

a humanitarian organization has raised the alarm over the use of force against protesters along the israel gaza border or human rights watch has expressed particular concern over what it says is that the deliberate targeting of the legs of unarmed demonstrators by the israeli military the palestinians kicked off a series of planned demonstrations a month ago they've been protesting near a security fence which surrounds the land the palestinians claim was stolen from them but they've been met by a heavy response from israel a palestinian health ministry in gaza says over two thousand people have received injuries to the legs many ultimately lost their limbs and for one palestinian athlete it was also cost him his dreams. but. when i go rushing about upon the soldiers were brutally shooting people an old man got shot in front of me he was protesting peacefully and not throwing any stones

and he got shot with an explosive bullet i spend six hours in surgery and then one week in the intensive care unit and i didn't think my leg would. like this i couldn't feel it i had fractured bones that my leg kept bleeding out i wasn't aware that it would be amputated it seems like my relatives told the doctors not to tell me that i was an athlete i used to play multiple sports and i used to play for the palestinian union. requested comment from the israeli military but we are still waiting for a reply in earlier statements the i.d.f. described the use of live fire against protesters as a last resort option saying it has been using non lethal alternatives instead well for a young palestinian who jump of becoming a football star his encounter with israeli forces ultimately changed the course of his life. during my food will career i hope to be one of the best players in gaza after this injury my football career is over these really

response with life fire during the protest i was filming myself to post it later we sure had the right to do while i was filming you snipers shot me in the knee and it was dislocated i was targeted without warning i wasn't a threat to the soldiers and all if god helps me i will be able to have surgery and hold the palestinian flock in their european countries my dream is to produce a p.d. in the european league that. the i.d.f. has denied claims that uses excessive force however there's been a global backlash over the israeli military's response to the rallies in gaza since the end of march its soldiers have allegedly killed forty three palestinians including four children during that period.

and told us what he thought about the teams taking part in the upcoming tournament . people are very friendly and there you can see that they love the food bowl i can see in the faces of the people but the main thing is is when you see the people trying to speak the french trying to speak the english there's a real energy around this so this is what we're talking about we're talking about a major import the most important competition in the world sports competition in the world who brings you know different culture different language where the people have to open up so it's great. pressure is very dangerous argentina there they face difficulty to qualify so most of the time during the tournament they are their best croatia wow like belgium they are one of those themes that potentially can be the surprise of the tournament saw let's see at the

end of the day step by step france have you know they've shown that they can reach the final of the you roll in the almost one it. has never never see any politician or any polity controversy that have enter into the football system display their rules from the beginning they've done well thank you the infrastructure good you've inject money is good for the communities good for the cities good for tourism so now is the time for football you cannot enter into the system coaches will pick what they want to win into two to shining in and be the man of of you know it's walk up we're talking about work it's not something small sometimes all the time say to myself champions league was good or you know the league was good but i walk out it's definitely something different different level different you cannot compare. oxys

the new global economic war is unfolding in the realm of education the right to education is being supplanted by the right to access education. higher education is becoming just another product that can be born and sold but it's not just about education anymore it's also about running a business and what you good. luck with these songs. they could mimic. what is the place of students in this business model for college i was born now i'm coming to stream three more education for the new global economic war. if you join us today for this program the un has expressed serious concern over the disproportionate number of deaths involving black people in the u.k. reportedly as a result of excessive police force the deaths reinforce the experiences of

structural racism over policing and criminalization of people of african descent and other minorities in the u.k. the u.k. polies was accused of racism following the release of its recent data analysis this found officers used force against twelve thousand people in just three months last year and one in three of them was black though the share of black people in the population is far smaller attention to the issue was drawn by an incident that goes back to july last year when a black man was killed by an officer. britain's

home office has reacted to the situation vowing to investigate the allegations we discussed the issue with outcasts. the police a bit like james bond they have a license to kill with impunity and i say with impunity because whenever seems to be any justice i don't know of any policeman that has gone to prison for killing a civilian on the streets of london so these attitudes. are created inside the police force. because it is not like sherlock holmes where the police work is about trying to find evidence doing investigations and force the lot the police work is not that at all but instead relies on various prejudices at the end the evidence doesn't go so far as beyond reasonable doubt i think is one of the most impossible things to do to prosecution officer the only reason is the officers are

there to protect us so it's quite a natural when you see a police officer in the dock in his uniform it's quite a natural and i think that may be one of the main issues that it's that it goes against everything that we believe a piece of the should be doing crime isn't driven by race crime is driven by socioeconomic factors or young males in inner london get involved in street crime and socioeconomic factors mean that there are more your miles of our black in areas of in a london than there are of other races that's not the same in other cities in other cities manchester sheffield. leeds there are black communities but they're nowhere near as large and so when you look at the people involved in street crime in those areas the disproportionality is not there. with local elections looming in the u.k. the alleged russian meddling saga takes yet another twist

a british newspaper the sunday times claims that a russian twitter bots try to influence the twenty seventeen parliamentary elections in favor of opposition labor party leader jeremy corbin artie's jacqueline virgo takes a closer look. the sunday times has provided us all with a little russian bought deja vu its groundbreaking investigation with swansea university has cracked the code on how the labor party did so well in this year's general elections and the answer is russian tweets of course research that just that was not destroyed at the time superbowl corban and to down the street by bombarding the public with positive messages in support of labor using twitter columns that were mostly created after the election was just that early last year so let's break down that research sixty five hundred russian twitter accounts identified by their primary language work to bash the ruling conservatives and promote the labor party in the run up to the election and a few examples are given as to how they achieve their meddling goals such as

promoting stories condemning trees that may for cuts and police numbers and funding another point made in the article was the massive attendance seen corbin's rallies but even if the scores of people who showed up were only there are things to bots retreating corbin's location does that somehow make them not true supporters other suspicious activity it was a push by the box on election day telling people to get out there and vote how dare they say the article doesn't provide a list of the accounts they monitored and said that many of them have been deleted or suspended by twitter conservative m.p.'s have vowed to dig further into the claims russian interference in the politics of the u.k. is a breach of election law and something we've got to act to stop whereas labor representatives have slammed the article as a classic sunday times smear campaign the labor party's people power do election campaign attracted huge levels of public support online we're not aware of any from to me bought categorically did not pay for any not aware of any of our supporters

doing so. other labor supporters have even chosen to embrace the accusations. now the report does not comment on who specifically was behind the campaign or how many people actually saw the tweets nor does it say whether or not the attempt was successful but the point is if a vote comes up with shocking results there's clearly no other plausible explanation apart from the russians did it we asked the newspaper to comment on the investigation meantime former m i five officer sean says it's all just part of a clamp down on alternative futures. the west does not like dissent it does not

like alternative views and the internet offered people the old the chance of developing these alternative news and as soon as you have one of those alternative viewpoints in the west you must of course be working as one of putin's useful idiots or as a russian troll bottle whatever it is we saw this last week as well there was a report on sky news and they were accusing two accounts particularly on twitter saying that they are russia russia but they were human beings and so sky news invited one of these people on the news and he came on to sky and argue that he was a human being strangely enough and it turned out here is the source seventy year old pensioner who is just angry at what's going on politically in the u.k. so it's really risible they're trying to stigmatize british citizens who have an alternative view. a child's imagination can run pretty wild but when a russian school boys multi-colored picture of the stars and space was rejected by

his teacher inaccurate his father decided to take the matter upstairs. it's the scent of stars like back i don't exist in space i need to a drawn i'm. worthless orders on the subject we wanted to cheer him up and then we decided to refer this question to the most competent space authority ross cosmos. losses the cosmos the first cosmos said that i painted everything the right way stars do exist in different colors they can be red green orange and many other colors.

in the rest of the world that did you know that this was real or did it come from your imagination that's how i imagine the stars to be i like your page team if i was your teacher i would have given you and they plus even have correctly engineering weiss ping to the spaceship and your instrument nickleby's and it's hugely image you need to you have expressed the mood and the state of the stars. this is out international thanks for sharing your monday with us so far plenty more stories to offer you at the top of the hour.

a little late to the end it didn't last i just. focus on finding that i did just that my height. when i left that i sat next. to martin it's not. a lot but i let me. be a little slow on the arms so i leave early because he's slow. and . the. country of the east mother came home and he's going to let them listen to them when they're going to have a difficult moment. and these years i live apart from that i don't see how same or. similar is going to the me if admission i'm going to.

join me every thursday on the i like simon chill and i'll be speaking to guests of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then.

hello and welcome to cross talk where all things considered i'm peter lavelle we live in surreal times a short time ago even imagining a negotiated end to the tensions on the korean peninsula was a flight into fancy but here we are is this becoming a foreign policy victory for trying. cross talking terms foreign policy i'm joined by my guest mark sloboda he's an international affairs and security analyst we also have exactly moreau he is the founder of the center for political strategic analysis strap poll and we have

dimitri he is a political analyst with the international right gentlemen crosstalk rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want and i always appreciate exhibit let me go to you first we're going to devote a good part of this program to what's going on in the korean peninsula however the president of the country that you come from france was visiting the united states how would you sum up my crohn's visit because if you want my two cents it was quite humiliating for the french president quite familiar to me it's exactly the word to use and in my opinion again show that you very we'll. is a meeting with the friends chief of state and in my opinion you heard some rumors because it was in some mill yes. six or on television and so you played with him and he looked like he was being played with. i think you know even if you're not really interested in politics the visuals of their encounter i mean it's gone viral and everyone's laughing i'm not going to put the

exactly market exactly. what did you but you could if you were. not trying to protect american but in my opinion where did a maritime. trump isn't acceptable and in my opinion it's a mistake because it came really other. then you just given the evidence that. i can tell you because i mean we've been together this syria i guess blind was the try to dissuade him from going leaving the iran deal but he didn't get anything ok i mean the thing you had to admit to media that i didn't change his mind but apparently he didn't make the claim i'm going to these he made commit to staying in syria to remind me because when he was chosen by french people it was the american made its first speech just after being elected about.
