thanks for joining us my name's neil harvey this is r.t. and. palestinian medics are struggling to cope with the number of injured after a month of protest along the gaza border the international committee of the red cross says that hospitals there only get around forty eight hours of power a day the demonstrations have been met with a heavy response from israel notably by sniper fire the palestinian health minister in gaza says more than two thousand people have received leg injuries lack of medical treatments also forced unnecessary amputations on palestinian athletes it meant the end of his career. 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 spent six hours in surgery and then one week in the intensive care unit. and i didn't think my leg would be like this i couldn't feel it i had

fractured groans and 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 replying to a request for comment these really defense forces told us that they dish should repeated warnings to palestinians about approaching the border fence they also saw their duty to prevent threats against their country for another young palestinian he dreamt of becoming a footballer his encounter with the i.d.f. was also life changing but. 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 have the right to do while i was filming

a sniper shot me in the knee and it was dislocated i was targeted without warning i was no threat to the soldiers and all of god helps me i will be able to have surgery and hold the palestinian flock in the european countries my dream is to produce a p.d. in the european league that. human rights watch has expressed particular concern over what it says is the deliberate targeting of the legs of unarmed demonstrators by the israeli military the concern was raised by the israel and palestine director of the rights group we spoke to him earlier. we continue to see every week hundreds of people injured very serious injuries we're talking about people whose you know bones have been pulverized shattered as aid workers on the ground have described as x. rays and photos we've seen in our visits to hospitals have shown people that have you know large massive exit wounds that people are actually crossing

a fence entering israeli territory every right to use non-lethal means of a variety of swords to carry out her arrest if there has been you know criminal how did putting a crossing you know from border without authorization but using live ammunition right now i'm using intentional lethal force is only permitted under international law in response to an imminent threat to life or limb and that's not what's happening here these are these this is using force to accomplish other objectives which are not sanctioned by international law you of mortars that are on their face on lawful and really responsibility for these awful killings go to the highest levels of these really government. has been a global backlash of the israeli military response to the demonstrations in gaza since the end of march fourteenth three palestinians have died at protests during that period including four children.

south korean president reportedly said donald trump deserves the nobel peace prize for his efforts to deescalate the situation on the korean peninsula and this is after and a storage meeting between the leaders of north and south korea so the two sides pledged to rid the peninsula of nuclear weapons before the end of the year apart from denuclearization the states agreed on friday to formally ended the korean war we stayed about more than half a century they've signed a peace treaty agreeing to involve the u.s. and china in the process. was quick to take credit for easing tensions on the peninsula and his supporters are now saying that he should get the nobel prize for his efforts in a recent tweet he suggested that he's more deserving than barack obama who was

given the prize just after he became president at a rally on saturday his fans seem to agree the nuclearization of the korean. war with. i. so does he really have a chance of skipping the prestigious award it is done of takes a look. 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 with and as we've been told the trump has the best words and those he applied to north korea directly he is a sick puppy rocket man is on a suicide mission for him so obviously he's a pretty smart cookie we all saw that 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 nickname vish persuader trump style of making peace equally applies to iran big government that gives terrorists safe harbor financial back in i am speaking of course of a rare the rogue regime a rand can sprint towards a rapid nuclear weapons break no where no matter where you go in the middle east you see the fingerprints of iran behind problems for goodness sake here pointed as national security advisor a man who just last year thought this was a good idea and that the c word twenty nine. here was.

serious felt the full impact of trumps peace making if things keep going the way they are the country will be celebrating the annual tomahawked day sometime around mid spring but again maybe a nobel peace prize and trump do fit together at the end of the day after all what does obama get to have all the nice things. we spoke to journalist and author makes blumenthal who believes that the improvement of relations on the korean peninsula has nothing to do with trump. donald trump's policy towards the koreas has been one of hostility sanctions and threats are fired his defense minister jim maddest threaten 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 and because moon j.n. has been so courageous in this effort to reconcile with the north and so really

calls for donald trump to receive a nobel prize really reflect how insular and parochial the view of right wing is right wing supporters is that donald trump has really not played a role in the then it's around north and south korea. maybe tom will get a nobel prize for economics he's about to start a trade war new u.s. tariffs on imports of european steel and al you many and they come into force on may first something brussels is making last minute efforts to try avoid it or not here's our europe correspondent peter. europe certainly launched the charm offensive to make sure that that exemption remains in place just last week we saw french president emmanuel the german chancellor angela merkel over across the atlantic in the white house talking about a number of things but in particular this exception in keeping it but the words in the loving embrace as we saw between particularly mr mark on and president trump

who are a long way shy of the stronger words we heard from the french president just last month and we can talk about everything with a friendly country that respects the rules of the w two yo but we can talk about anything when it's with a gun to our heads but whether they were to opt for the not quite all quit over emotional contact between president michel and president trump was just frankly quite awkward contact between the german chancellor and president trump it does seem that the man in the white house may have already made up his mind when it comes to these tariffs going to sound so nice to. you know why i mean they literally did i so they formed to take advantage of the united states and i don't blame them the tariffs that are being talked about are a twenty percent want to be levied on steel exported to the united states and ten

percent on a mini and now the fact that these could come in this early the first of may that prompted an emergency phone call on sunday evening between chancellor merkel president mark on and prime minister to reason may of the united kingdom they came to the conclusion that should these tariffs come into play then there has to be retaliations or we've got to look into what they may entail when we heard from john claude younker the european commission president. so now we will also impose import tariffs this is basically a stupid process the fact that we have to do this but we have to do it we were now impose tariffs on. motorcycles harley davidson on blue jeans levis on bourbon we can also do stupid we also have to be this stupid word coming out of the united states is that there will be an extension to this exemption but ultimately all that does is kick the problem down the road for another day and still leaves us with the situation that either the e.u.

has to cave in and say yes they'll pay these tariffs or the united states has to say don't worry about it you get let off with this one. now with local elections looming in the united kingdom the alleged russian meddling sagas taken yet another twist the sunday times publication claims the russian twitter bots tried to influence the twenty seventeen parliamentary elections that was in favor of the labor party leader jeremy corbett they claim takes a closer look the sunday times has provided us are with a little russian bought deja vu it's groundbreaking investigation where swanzy 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 bots 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 well we're a bit nosy we asked for a response from twitter for the times to provide additional information we felt there wasn't enough in that research will let you know the responses if and when they come in for british intelligence officer on a match on things that the newspapers claims are all just part of a clampdown on alternative news. 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 assume 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 bot or 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 bots they were human beings and so sky news invited one of these people on the news and he came on to sky and argued that he

was a human being strangely enough and it turned out he is the source seventy year old pensioner who was just angry at what was going on politically in the u.k. so it's really risible that they're trying to stigmatize british citizens who have an alternative view. now police in the u.k. have been accused of institutionalized racism will have the full story after this break.

in july twenty seventh jane hunted also to a freelance journalist working with a. militant shelling in syria. the owner has sacrificed he has established a holiday all such a memorial lives they will recognize war reporters who often risk their months with the sake of the truth comes through that. you can submit to your published works in a video form britain for you go to a warm go to auntie dot com into now. here in moscow thousands of people been taking part in a protest against the russian government's decision to try block telegram one of the country's most popular messenger apps medina cochon of explained. thousands of

demonstrators have gathered here in the downtown moscow to protest against the city's decision to block their messaging app telegram police authorities say that around seven and a half thousand people came to the center of the capital protesters at this rally are calling for freedom of the internet and they're also calling for the government to stop at its attempts to block the app now it was banned in russia because the company refused to share user dieter with the government and that was in violation of russian antiterrorism laws there is how the police presence those the protest has been peaceful telegram is a cloud based instant messaging service which was founded by a russian top printer pliable duda the app is considered to be one of the best for our online privacy thanks to its high level of messaging corruption the rally was endorsed by the founder of the app himself and also by

a number of prominent russian opposition figures. the un has expressed serious concerns over the disproportionate number of black people dying in the u.k. due to excessive use of force by the police the deaths reinforce the experiences of structural racism over policing and criminalization of people of african descent and other minorities in the u.k. there because they should've racism came after a review of police data found officers used force against twelve thousand people over three months last year one in three was black the proportion of black people in the population is far smaller attention to the issue was highlighted by a controversial into the day in july when a black man was killed by police. britain's

home office has vowed to investigate the allegations we discussed the issue with experts. the police a bit like james bond they have a license to kill with impunity and i say with impunity because we're never 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 at the end the evidence doesn't go so far as beyond reasonable doubt i think it's one of the most impossible things to do to prosecute an officer and 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 crime isn't driven by race crime is driven by celibacy i cannot make factors for young males in inner london and get involved in street crime and socioeconomic factors mean that there are more your miles are black in areas of and on than there are of other races that's not the same in other cities and so when you look at the people involved in street crime in those areas the disproportionality is not there. ok that's a day you know what's happening in armenia where people are still calling for political change after three weeks of protests demonstrators there of march towards the central square in the capital yet to demand that protest leader be called passion young is confirmed as prime minister by parliament on tuesday and protests in the former soviet republic of already led to the resignation of premier. and announcement of fresh elections ashley young who insists that the rallies will continue is the only candidate nominated for prime minister it's unclear whether he

will get enough votes from the ruling party in order to take up the position. but. finally this hour a child's imagination can run pretty wild but when a russian school boy his picture of the stars was rejected by his teacher is being inaccurate please father decided to take the matter upstairs. the. last of the scent of stars like that don't exist in space i need to redraw. the moon was much older so the focus we wanted to cheer him up and then we decided to refer this question to the most competent space authority gross cost little.

person because most of those possible sad but i mean did everything the right one of the stars do exist in different colors they can be read green orange and many other colors. and that's the lesson did you know that this was real or did it come from your imagination that's how i imagined the stars to be i like your paint team because your teacher i would have given you and they parts you didn't pop correctly engineering wise into the spaceship and your instrument nickleby should is hugely image you need to you have expressed the mood and the state of the stasi. great stuff i bring you right up to date and join me for more latest headlines coming your way in half an hour.

a thing that are of free trade and are up straight and i think in a straight up as a reversion back to me a little of that we see that happening right now by states and presumably etc. as wealth and as concentrated in a few or fewer hands grabbing a river of the risk of neil feudalism on the horizon crypto is is the else in my view and it is an asset class and it is gobbling up market share and the us dollar is all thier money is still. in the heart of the swiss alps this is a place probably more secretive the pentagon more mysterious than the cia and better guarded than for knox swiss customs are here permanently and all the science

is controlled by them and they impose the opening times so if. it was adopted from is all plus the procedures in place of the strictest in all europe must to pieces by artists like pecan so and modigliani i can't boards and soon inside this warehouse that's where the report comes in it covers up deals which are naturally discreet commercially discreet but also discreet because they concern fraud for some of those paintings are linked to dark secrets nobody knows how many of these secrets they kept inside the geneva freeport system you'll never obtain an inventory of all the works in the freeport who knows how many there are three hundred three thousand three hundred thousand is it a matter of confidentiality only is it the world's black books of the art business . chose seemed wrong.

but old rules just told. me to get to shape out just because the ticket and in game trade equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground. economic war is unfolding in the realm of education the right to education being supplanted by the right to. education. higher education is becoming just another product that can be pulled and sold but it's not just about education anymore it's also about running a business and what you. want is the place of students in this business model for college i was born. i am extremely more education the new global economic war.

will come to. the violence and by mental protest so north dakota made international headlines and has raised questions about extremism inside america's growing green movement is the danger of environmental terrorism real i asked former director of communications for the us senate environment committee marc morano. with the outright claiming victory in the white house. are coming out in force but the green movement also seeing an increase in its ranks is radical is making a comeback among the defenders of the environment to the extreme green deserve to

be labeled and charged as terrorists or will environmental groups be the next big danger to the order in america. marc morano welcome to the show it's good to have you with us on this program now mark researchers of domestic extremism in the u.s. say that the next wave of terrorism. well we're from radical greens is that an exaggeration is that simply the latest scare crowd no i don't think so i think if you go back to like the first earth day for instance the environmental movement has become in a sense activated in radicalize many elements of the on the extreme elements and i think what's happened now to make this more relevant is first of all they see the success of groups like isis and how one individual who may not even be organized with a larger group one individual act can cross chaos and draw attention to a cause so specifically right now what's happening is the climate change issue many

environmentalist and mainstream environments are terrified and think that the planet is going to be doomed and the rhetoric coming from even the top leaders of the united nations top scientists said used to be affiliated with nasa are in a way giving potential eco terrorists the justification to do it they're saying that essentially we are doomed that civilization is and that we must stop this so that the attitude by many activists looking at the climate scare is they have to act alone because governments are not acting or not acting enough or in many cases are just acting you know defiant to their concerns so i do think that the environmental movement is going to be using the climate campaign the climate scare if you will to justify more extreme violence in the next five to ten years and the oil industry is actually suing cream peace and and other.
