i i. i. it's really pm claims around lied about its nuclear program and he presents a huge amount of supposedly secret data to prove it. why would a terrorist. and meticulously travel secret nuclear file is not used but. there are calls for donald trump to be awarded the nobel peace prize after he takes credit for progress on the korean peninsula. plus a human rights organization accuses the israeli army of didn't deliberately targeting the legs of protesters in gaza. 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.

it's great have you with us this. is r.t. international iran's lined over its nuclear program according to a presentation by the prime minister of israel benjamin netanyahu earlier on monday laid out key data that he believes could be used as proof to discredit tehran's nuclear deal that was signed with will powers with more here's artie's daniel hawkins. iran lloyd everything we thought we knew about its nuclear ambitions was wrong according to the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu we've known for years that iran had a secret nuclear weapons program called project amount the evidence well that lies in this filing cabinet allegedly thousands of documents and c.d.'s half a ton to be precise proven conclusively tehran misled the world about its nuclear plans both before and after the twenty fifteen agreement hailing this as

a significant development and a great intelligence achievement that in yahoo was sure iran has one reason and one reason only to hide this information why would a terrorist regime hide and meticulously catalog its secret nuclear files if not to use them at a later do a state hiding its nuclear weapons program what other country would do such a thing some will remember netanyahu twenty twelve un speech and the cartoon bomb iran's foreign ministry has already called his presentation a propaganda show but the issue here is also a serious one since the onset netanyahu has been an ardent critic of the iran agreement so this is a terrible deal. i think this deal is a. do or it should never have been concluded and in a few days. president trump. will decide well makers the solution

and what to do with the nuclear deal. i'm sure he'll do the right thing the right thing for the united states the right thing for israel. and the right thing. for the produce of the world this development comes at a crucial time for this international framework in less than two weeks president trump will decide the future course of u.s. action is likely to differ strongly from the other members of the five plus one group despite last week's niceties during president micron's visit to the states so far trump has kept his cards close to his chests we'll see what happens his favorite phrase whatever does come about on may the twelfth there's a new york who will do all he can to convince the world that scrapping the deal is the right way forward even at the cost of years of negotiations and the delicate regional power balance. don't you mention though it took quite some time to close the deal in two thousand and fifteen to around agreed to strict limits on its

nuclear program and to open its facilities up for monitoring in return some international sanctions against the country were lifted. my good bottlers is a professor of political science at helen university currently joins me on the line this evening my good very good evening to you do you believe the proof that's been supposed to prove has been put forward by the prime minister of israel. well first . i messed that piece show by it and yeah and this is not the first one. if you come to see my cabinet you will see hundred slike or even more files than what he showed that's one number two he is in no position to talk and criticize any country of planning to have nuclear weapons. the non proliferation treaty he

declined he refused to sign it repeatedly he is in the same position as north korea so how come he says this and the issue he said very low profile show i mean if all mit graduates start this show the prestigious. college will lose its reputation. thirdly i think it's a set up with trump because trump has been threatening to withdraw from the six plus one nuclear deal with iran now i think he set up with this so that it's a way out for trump from the us. this is my analysis about the whole situation it's it's an allegation and false allegation. the presentation itself to me really to be a bit of a children's book with lots of big words and big pictures but to be fair to

netanyahu he said we have tens of thousands of documents represented by those those files behind him should we let the experts pull through all that material maybe maybe there's lots of fodder evidence in. well i will. reply with two things first if you remember what happened like fifteen years ago when calling power. revealed news conference intelligence information about the mass destruction weapons in iraq and it proved to be false now the history repeats itself that's one number two germany has responded immediately. two hours ago and had a press release saying that it's going to examine those documents and i'm so glad that germany has decided to uncover. this.

plot it's a clown plot this is interesting now do you think that for example germany or other european countries who are really sort of you know reluctant to throw away the existing deal can they influence donald trump in any decision he's about to make. well if you if you have been following what happened in the last week my friends when their. medical was there two days ago trying to pressure. trump and convince him to stay tight in the in the obligation. so so they are they are convinced and they are sure that. the deal is. is tied up.

in they are sure that iran is a boy doing. the deed. the only one is. not convinced or wants to pull out and. provoked it in yeah for a well known reason. thank you so much for your time i guess this hour my good bottles professor of political science at hell one university. in other news the south korean president has reportedly said donald trump deserves a nobel peace prize for his efforts to deescalate the situation on the korean peninsula and this followed a historic 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 and the korean war that's dated back more than half a century they vowed to sign

a peace treaty agreeing to involve the u.s. and china in the process and trump was quick to take credit for easing tensions there and his supporters are now also saying he should get the nobel prize for his efforts in a recent tweet to him suggested that he's more deserving than barack obama he was given the prize just after becoming president and at a rally on saturday trump's fans certainly seem to agree. the nuclearization of the korean peninsula was it was the new. it was. so good he should be rewarded with more his party's interest on 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 there is a. what do you think. president trump had to do with it i'll tell you what i like about everything it was 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 himself 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. for a pair of 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 iran the rogue regime iran can sprint towards a rapid nuclear weapons break the 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's why the word twenty nine. here was. serious felt the full impact of trumps peacemaking if things keep going the way they are the country will be celebrating the annual tomahawk date sometime around mid spring but again maybe a nobel peace prize and trump do fit together at the end of the day after all why does obama get to have all the nice things. ok political commentator lew rockwell kindly joins me on the line good to have you on the first first things first i just want to hear from donald trump describing a little earlier the state of affairs on the korean peninsula let's have a listen the united states has never been closer to potentially having

something happen with respect to the korean peninsula that can get rid of the nuclear weapons can create so many good things so many positive things and peace and safety for the world so we'll see what happens. so luke donald trump speaking very positively so close close of the never typical trump to anything safety in this case do you agree with his assessment. well i hope he is right i hope that for once the us after so many years are preventing the two koreas from having to go she asians preventing them from being friends has maybe it maybe it's finally doing the right thing i'd like to believe it i hope and pray it's the case. sort of will believe in when i see it but if they give the two koreas are push this enough that i think the peoples of both countries want peace they don't want the state of war that's existed the us has kept in existence with its troops on the

d.m.z. for so many years. you know i can i hope i hope it's true i. i you know i have my doubts about mr crump and his foreign policy he says nice things he said nice things during the campaign just yesterday or today said that the u.s. doesn't want to be the world's policeman well the u.s. doesn't want to be the world policeman the us wants to be the world dictator policeman is far too nice assimilate for them to be using so it's. just have to see bad people have gotten the nobel prize in the past henry kissinger warmonger mass murderer. obama so but i'd be glad to see if actually this comes off i've been glad to have trump get ten nobel prizes because if this can actually bring peace to the korean peninsula if the us is not going to do what it once did to north korea which was to kill millions and millions

of people through through a bombing and other kinds of war crimes of civilian areas if this is true well be the first one to congratulate him and decide to keep my fingers crossed that because we all are keeping our fingers crossed that he actually means it. doesn't mean it will we just have to see. it's i think a lot of people will find this a quite remarkable turnaround it's almost like we. come full circle in that the terms rhetoric is diplomacy if you can call it that started out calling him you know the north korean leader a rocket man we ended up with he's a smart cookie they went from people being slightly scared that could be you know military conflict to now it seems we're on the verge of pace as as this we approached one come about because of donald trump which is what him in his supporters are claiming oh despite him. well i think it's big i think there's no question both koreas have wanted peace and have wanted from the relations with each other for a very very for decades and the u.s.

has prevented it so. if if. if you have trump who would what is for quarters are saying is trump is crazy or he gives an impression of being crazy and he scared the heck out of the koreans north and south by the way because of course the big attack on north korea would affect south korea very badly as well even if it's not a nuclear attack so. you know it's it's again i hope trump has hope trump is is real in this i don't believe it's is being acting crazy that brought it about if it happens but we're a long ways from seeing it happen. but god bless him if he brings it about. but i was i was there i believe in when i see you thanks very much for your time and wrap things up there political commentator live well as my guest thank you. in other news 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 four to eight hours of power every day the demonstrations have been met with heavy response from israel notably sniper fire the palestinian health ministry in gaza says more than two thousand people have received leg injuries and a lack of medical treatments for some unnecessary amputations for one palestinian athlete that meant the end of his career. the. want to go rushing about 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 won't set 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 the israeli defense forces told us that they had issued repeated warnings the palestinians who approach the border fence they also cite their duty to prevent threats against their country another young palestinian who dreamt of becoming a footballer all his encounter with the i.d.f. was also life changing. 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 live fire during the protest i was filming myself to post it leader we sure have the right to do while i was filming a sniper showed me the knee and it was dislocated i was targeted. warning i was no threat to the soldiers and role if god helps me i will be able to have surgery and

hold the palestinian flock in their european countries my dream is to participate in the european league. with human rights watch as expressed particular concern over what it says is the deliberate targeting of the legs of unarmed demonstrators by the israeli military and that concern was raised by the israel and palestine direct the rights group care we spoke to and. 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 the 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. 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. there's been a global backlash over the israeli military's response to the demonstrations in gaza since the end of march forty three palestinians died a protester in that period including four children.

and local elections looming in the u.k. the alleged russian meddling saugus taken another twist the sunday times claims that russian twitter bots trying to influence the twenty seventeen parliamentary elections in favor of labor party leader jeremy corbett. 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. oh research that just that was not destroyed at the time to propel 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 at corbin's rallies but even if the scores of people who showed up only there are things to bots re tweeting 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

our to me bot 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 is clearly no other plausible explanation apart from the russians did it we have asked for a response from twitter and for the times to provide additional information about their research will bring the responses if and when we get them in time for british

intelligence officer sean feels the newspaper's claims are just part of a clampdown on alternative views. 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 assumes 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 argued that he was a human being strangely enough and it turned out he was 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 that they're trying to stigmatize british citizens who have

an alternative view. the u.s. state department has issued a report on how often other nations vote alongside washington at the united nations leaving the american ambassador with the results are new yorkers from a killer more when i was more on how the u.s. wants more value for money when it comes to diplomacy. why doesn't the u.n. do america's bidding when it's america that's bankrolling the u.s. that's got to be for one of the country's top diplomats and she's taken her grievance public the american people pay twenty two percent of the un budget more than the next three highest donor countries combined in spite of this generosity the rest of the u.n. voted with us only thirty one percent of the time and a lower rate than in two thousand and sixteen that's because we care more about being right than popular and i once again standing up for our interests and values either way this is not an acceptable return on our investment well there is

a big problem with this argument namely that the united nations is not a charity or a stockholding corporation it's not pay for play the un budget is set according to a country's gross national product the country's per capita income as well as its external debt the usa has the biggest economy in the world so it pays the most up until twenty ten the united states paid twenty five percent of the un budget and that is based on assessed contributions which are based on a formula of gross national income for the size that the united states is in the wealth that it has actually it's paying rather. less than it should the notion that the united states is a very generous donor to the united nations doesn't actually fit the facts when you look at the proper formula united states is the only one that has this exceptional

arrangement where it has a cap on its. otherwise would be normal contributions nikki haley has got the backing of the white house in her complaints trump is now threatening to cut off the flow of cash the u.s. has put together a strong bood with canada and mexico for the twenty twenty six world cup it would be ashame of countries that we. thoughts what's a little be against the u.s. bid why should we be supporting these countries when they don't support us including at the un and see what happens when countries vote against the us position like in december when the general assembly slapped down america over its decision to move its embassy to jerusalem. when we make a decision about where to locate our embassy we don't expect those with help to target the us will be taking money was those in favor of the draft resolution please read. those again.

thank you for team food in favor well again. i want you to know the president and the us because both personally he will be watching this vote carefully and has requested our report back on those who voted against us thank you for your consideration. now begin voting for. those in favor please signify those against abstention. draft resolution is that up to. one of the nine countries that voted with the united states was douras honduras has

been solidly a friend of the united states since two thousand and nine when it could topple the elected socialist president nikki haley says that their vote will not be forgotten . that will never be a stand alone issue but it will always be an element that we can go back to and say you know what they stood by us when it came to that drew. one vote so vote along with the united states and you might get a nice financial bonus vote against the united states and you'll have to pay the consequences international affairs it seems is a pretty wild business kaleb up and r.t. me york you know i'm not going to threaten you i just hope if you want to enjoy it you'll come back and join me for the latest and often. join me every thursday on the alec simon show and i'll be speaking to guests of the world of politics or business i'm show business i'll see you then.
