6:01 pm
is this is r.t. international first this hour iran lied over its nuclear program according to a presentation made 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 signed with will powers down your hawkins has details. iran lloyd's 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 ahmad 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
6:02 pm
a significant development and a great intelligence achievement that the all who was sure iran has one reason and one reason only to hide this information why would a terrorist regime. hide and meticulously catalog good secret nuclear files if not to use them it of lootera do a state hiding its nuclear weapons program what other country would do such a thing some will remember netanyahu has twenty twelve un speech and the cartoon bomb iran's foreign ministry has already called his presentation a propaganda show but are you sure 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 bad and to do. it should never have been concluded. and in a few days. president trump. will decide will make as the solution
6:03 pm
on 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 was done you mentioned it took quite some time to close the around deal in two thousand and fifteen to around agreed to strict limits on its
6:04 pm
nuclear program and to open its facilities up for monitoring in return some international sanctions against the country were lifted to my good professor of political science at helen university believes the claims of these really prime minister are unjustified. it's a masterpiece sure i'll buy it in yahoo and this is not the first one 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 germany has responded immediately the person release saying they're going to examine those documents they are sure that iran is doing. the deed the only one is trump who is not convinced or wants to pull out and.
6:05 pm
provoked by a need to for a well known reason. 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 now this follows a historic meeting between the leaders of north and south korea that saw the two sides pledged to rid the area of nuclear weapons before the end of the year of denuclearization the states agreed on friday to formally end the korean war to something that dates back more than half a century they've had 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 on the peninsula his supporters are now also saying he should get the nobel prize for his efforts in a recent tweet he suggested he's certainly more deserving than barack obama he was given the prize just after he became president and at a rally on saturday trump's found seem to agree the nuclearization
6:06 pm
of the korean and. the duty to do you. it was. so does he have a chance of skipping the award to explain or his biggest fan of 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 e 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 now there is. what do you think.
6:07 pm
president trump had to do with it i'll tell you what i like how about everything it was and as we've been told 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
6:08 pm
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 terrorists safe harbor financial back in i am speaking of course of iran the rogue regime a rand 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 is the lead here to celebrate. syria's felt the full impact of trumps peace making if things keep going the way
6:09 pm
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 where does obama get to have all the nice things. we spoke to journalist and author mike's blumenthal who believes the improvement in relations on the korean peninsula has nothing to do with trump donald trump's policy towards the koreas has been one of hostility sanctions of threats fired yuri defense minister jim mattis threaten your career 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 we're in jail has been so courageous in this effort to reconcile with the work and so really cause for donald trump to receive a nobel prize really reflect how insular and parochial that view of right wing is
6:10 pm
right wing supporters is donald trump has really not played a role. then it's around north and south korea. palestinian medics are struggling to cope with the number of injured after a month of protests along the gaza border international committee of the red cross says that hospitals there only get around four to eight hours of power a day for demonstrations or be met by a heavy response from israel notably sniper fire a palestinian health ministry in gaza says more than two thousand people have received leg injuries and a lack of medical treatments also forced unnecessary potations for one palestinian athlete that meant the end of his career. the. to go rushing about the soldiers were brutally shooting people and old man got shot in front of me he was protesting peacefully and not throwing any stones and he got
6:11 pm
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 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 replying to a request for comment the israeli defense forces told us they did shoot repeated warnings the palestinians about approaching the border fence they also cited their duty to prevent threats against their country but for another young palestinian who dreamed 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
6:12 pm
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 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 the european countries my dream is to participate in the european league. 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 the concern was raised by the israel and palestine director of the rights group omar shakir who we spoke to. 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 if you
6:13 pm
know large mass of exit wounds if people are actually crossing a fence entering israeli territory every right to use non-lethal means for i.d.f. swords to carry out 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 the lawful and really responsibility for these awful killings go to the highest levels of these really government. has been a global backlash over the israeli military's response to demonstrations in gaza since the end of march forty three palestinians have been killed in protests over that period including four children.
6:14 pm
local elections looming in the u.k. the alleged russian meddling saugus taken yet another twist the sunday times is claiming that russian twitter bots tried to influence the two thousand and seventeen elections and that they did so in favor of labor pontificated jeremy corbyn. 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
6:15 pm
the was not destroyed at the time superbowl corben 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 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
6:16 pm
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 waivers supporters have even chosen to embrace the accusations. now the report does not comment on who specifically was behind the campaign or how
6:17 pm
many people actually saw the tweets nor does it say whether or not the attempt was successful but the point is if a book comes up with shocking results there's clearly no other plausible explanation apart from the russians did it we've asked for a response from twitter for the times to provide additional information about the research will let you know the responses if and when they come in former british intelligence officer sean though feels that the newspaper's claims are all just part of a clamp down on alternative views the west does not like dissent it does not like alternative views and the internet offered people the all of 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 who is 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
6:18 pm
saying that they are russia true 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 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 united nations has expressed concern over the number of black people being killed by police in the u.k. bringing the full story after this break.
6:19 pm
6:20 pm
of black people dying in the u.k. excessive use of force by 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. where the accusation of racism came after every view of police data it found officers used force against twelve thousand people over three months last year one in three of them was black but the proportion of black people in a population that's fast smaller attention to the issue was highlighted by a controversial incident in july when a black man was killed by police. in
6:21 pm
. britain's home office is found to investigate these 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 remember seems to be just this i don't know of any policeman going 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 dark in his uniform crime isn't driven by race crime is driven by socioeconomic factors or young males in inner london and get involved in
6:22 pm
street crime and socioeconomic factors mean that there are more your miles are black in areas of and on than the 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 bad. ukrainian president petro poroshenko has announced a change in the operation against two self-proclaimed republics in the country's eastern donbass region the battle with separatists will cease being coordinated by the country's security services and will instead be under the direct control of the military now this comes just as ukraine receives its first batch of javelin antitank missiles from the u.s. that's part of forty seven million dollars worth of military aid ukraine has been pushing for western countries to provide more military equipment the u.s. government says that it will also supply what it calls technical assistance transfer states transportation training and other related elements of logistics and
6:23 pm
program support following a coup in two thousand and fourteen ukraine started the so-called antiterrorist operation a military campaign against separatists in the pro russian east of the country while the turn thousand have been killed in this ongoing conflict. international affairs commentator mark thaw. me now good evening to you marco quite a few changes going on here but the military being allowed to take control of the operation just as weaponry coming in and is that deliberately linked. well i suppose it's a signal that the russians should be concerned with what's going on to the immediate western environment but i don't see it as hugely significant in the for the future of the region because no matter how many arms are sold and no matter how many military takeovers of the security operators there are within the.
6:24 pm
western ukrainian area it's not going to change the basic geopolitics of the region the fact that russia is eminently strong immediately next door and views this as a vital area of its own interests so this isn't heading towards any kind of victory anytime soon for the ukrainian regime unclear. do you think that this is going to change the conflict in any way could it escalate things. i think not i think this is just really about the u.s. trying to all the u.s. elements in the u.s. administration trying to really create uncertainty in their russian counterparts about what's going to happen next so that it's very easy to be proactive very easy to sell weapons into a war zone like the u.s. is doing and then the other side has to work out is this the first act of many is it just a one off what how should it appropriately react so it's really a big pain for the reacting side in a very easy act on the u.s.
6:25 pm
parts and. also sends a message that the u.s. is acting on a global scale against russia so that after syria after all the other places it will then move back to ukraine the u.s. is almost like a rogue elephant which goes around the herd and then probs different different elephants in the herd at different times just to show who's boss and i think this movie is a should be seen against that kind of a background. in the deal was approved the russian deputy foreign minister accused the united states of quote from entering. a war i mean do you think they've gone too far with that or is that a fair comment. well ultimately it does seem that the u.s. economy requires a wall all conflict to really function optimal level it doesn't seem to be possible for us to live without this this annual wall parade somewhere
6:26 pm
on the planet and this is just again more proof of the same so whether there will be an actual war i think not what we have here is a slowdown a kind of ceasefire rather similar to the one in yugoslavia in the one nine hundred ninety s. when the us chose to build up the its forces there the croats the bosnian muslims in order to weaken the other side through sanctions as well and they create a situation where gradually the balance a logistical balance would tip in favor of its own puppet states so that's what really the model that the us is following here and that's also the one that the kiev authorities believe is the best way for them to gradually erode the other sides moral so i hope that they can split if you like the russian loyalty and falls russia may compromise it as as serbia did in the ninety's and abandon its own allies as it were in its immediate and western neighborhood so that's the scenario
6:27 pm
but i don't think it's going to succeed because for russia this is simply too important this is the soft underbelly of russia has lost tens of millions of people through invasions from this direction it's not going to let the u.s. a get away with yet another. plan along those lines so it's a nice try about the u.s. but i don't see it succeeding marco many thanks for your time marco guessing is my guest international affairs commentator thank you. and finally this hour a child's imagination kamran pretty wild as we know but when a russian school boy picture of the stars was rejected by his teacher is being inaccurate father decided to take the matter upstairs. the scent of stars like that don't exist in space i need to
6:28 pm
a drawn them. will close order for this obvious we wanted to cheer him up and then we decided to refer this question to the most competent space authority ross course most. closely because i was the first possumus said that i painted everything the right way the stars do exist in different colors they can be red green orange and many other colors. and that's the word 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 wise being to the spaceship and your instrument nickleby should is hugely image you need to you have expressed the mood and the state of the stars.
6:29 pm
whether or not thanks for joining us the saving was appreciate your company to stick around if you can updates coming your way in half an hour. 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 this is becoming a foreign policy victory for trying. anything that interrupts free trade interrupts freedom and i think interim freedom is a reversion back to neo liberalism and we see that happening right now in the united states and presumably here in canada as well as concentrated in the cure for your hands bradley a river of the risk of neil feudalism on the horizon crypto is is the answer
6:30 pm
in my view and it is an asset class and it is gobbling up market share and the us dollar is still all free up money is don't. listen to the people. on the ground the amount they saw it was in the you know talking to. somebody nope . not for you and i see i'm sure you know i'm going off get high if you don.
