evening thanks for joining us this is our international. a massive rally to mark may day in the french capital has turned violent as masked demonstrators burned cars and hurled smoke grenades our correspondent was caught in the crossfire between police and protesters who were deploying tear gas and water cannon. we. will all call him for the moment however those clashes we saw between the police and the protesters have been some of the most room function of intense clashes i've seen in the last fifteen months or so in france i just want to give you a sense of what sort of damage has been created from those are clashes not just

clashes but the damage that was caused by the protest is the police had warned early on tuesday morning ahead of these may day protests that they thought they were going to be hijacked by anti capitalists by anti fascists and they were indeed that they came out in their hundreds ready with a gear they safety gear to be able to protect themselves from the tear gas the masks just have a look at this is one of the vehicles that they burned still smoking there and just behind it the plumes of smoke that came up from this vehicle huge promptly mz of smoke that went up and just completely marked this block of apartments where people were living protesters who had damaging and smashing items up across this part of paris and the police had to let them be however when they came when they started the fires here when these apartment blocks were put in danger then the police intervened and we were caught in the crossfire here is what happened in the middle

of cashews now starting when the police don't want to have a look or very you'll see the tear gas is coming up to us the police move again and that's because just behind us there is a fire going on the demonstrators have put forward to a vehicle and emerge a bike and as you can see smoke because it. well as you might have gathered we've just been in the middle of what was quite a large clash between the police and the protesters just look behind me this is one of the trucks with the water cannons and you can see the gendarme now coming down and you can see some of the water and the foam that's been on the ground to try and push these protesters back take a look behind me and they're actually trying to barricade themselves up now that's off to they set fire to what looked like a g c p the fact it's still own fire over there in the distance the process is it

is if you just turn around a little bit more can't really have a look at this you may see this big. dog smoke coming up here on the protesters what they did is they lit fire to what seemed to be some sort of motorbike and the car this protest is due to continue these guys say they want an anti capitalist society they want an end to fascism they're entering that but the reality is what are they doing today is not just smashing up the big businesses in the big enterprises they're actually now searching up small enterprises and putting people's lives in real danger surety pinsky r.t. paris. more than two hundred people have been arrested over the clashes according to police but france was not the only country to witness clashes between police and protesters both turkey and greece also saw the labor day rallies turn violent over many nations enjoyed more peaceful demonstrations including in russia germany and

the u.k. . israel's prime minister is going all out to prove once and for all that around lied about its nuclear ambitions he will doubt thousands of documents and seedings of evidence as part of a powerpoint presentation it comes just twelve days before donald trump and turns to scrap the iran nuclear deal. tonight i'm going to tell you one thing iran lart 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 we've known for years that iran had a secret nuclear weapons program called project ahmad hailing this as 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 is not to use the mood of literary estate 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 bad bad. deal which would never have been concluded. and in a few days gone. president trump. will decide will make as the solution 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 chest we'll see what happens his favorite phrase whatever does come about on may the twelfth there's a new yahoo 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 a delicate regional power balance. or hailed as a huge diplomatic success the around nuclear deal was hammered out back in twenty fifteen between the u.s. china the u.k. russia france germany and iran negotiations took nine years ending a long standoff tehran agreed to strict limits on its nuclear program and to open

facilities up to international experts in return some sanctions against the country were lifted and after netanyahu promised to share these data with the world germany and france both said well it needs to be studied and in detail however the white house backed his presentation saying around it tried and failed to hide its activities from the world and that statement contradicts data from the nuclear watchdog that's the international atomic energy agency the e.u. foreign policy chief in turn said that when yahoo's claims don't put into question iran's compliance with the deal we got reaction from people in the iranian capital . now that trump is in the white house and your cards are. having its most obvious it seems to be. what is after again to break the deal and make america pull out of the. certainly if the israelis had precise information and it could be investigated in a serious manner they would take action fast because they know they have to do

something much on short time. ran has been committed to all the sponsors you know these release are just playing games and i don't find very rough around the place and you will not support what we have to remember that this is not the first time that israel has accused iran of trying to build a bomb and the the prior evidence that they have actually provided has not held up we have to take this with a very large grain of salt and we also have to remember the timing i mean this is comey less than two weeks before trying to make a decision right regarding if if the united states wants to stay in visual so absolutely no evidence so far. don't trump or said that getting rid of nuclear weapons on the korean peninsula will make the world a safer place he also expressed confidence is meeting with kim jong un would happen

soon it comes in the wake of friday's historic summit between the leaders of north and south korea during which the two sides committed to denuclearization and vowed to sign a proper peace treaty however donald trump's national security advisor says that denuclearization should be based on what happened in libya. will president trump in assist that can give up ship out all of those nuclear weapons all of those nuclear fuel all of those ballistic missiles before the us makes any concessions yeah i think that's what denuclearization means and we have very much in mind the libyan model from two thousand and three two thousand and four speaking of back in two thousand and three libya agreed to eliminate its weapons of mass destruction but it's not going to get the explains now the country didn't exactly benefit. remember the colonel colonel gadhafi he once had the nuclear program scary stuff

a despot with nuclear weapons so the world sanctioned him pressured him punished him eventually colonel gadhafi offered to scrap his nuclear program the u.s. and britain made the deal all hush hush they lifted sanctions resurrected relations made friends seven years later they came back and helped to kill him. he died painfully tortured alone in the desert his army having been obliterated by the u.s. britain and allies his murderous freedom fighters they called them then would go on to plunge libya into our naki killing thousands many and the place on terror lists later pundits in america in europe in korea would write that perhaps gadhafi giving up the only weapon that could have protected him was

a bad idea in pyongyang's view the libyans took the economic bait foolishly disarmed themselves and once they were defenseless were mercilessly punished by the west the president a firm really been leaders gadhafi is brutal death does not offer much confidence can join in about a safe exit the libyan crisis is teaching the international community a great lesson iran when giving up its nuclear program thought it could get a better deal i want to ask if you're have made up your mind to pull out of that deal and if you do pull out of the deal do you think you worry that sends the wrong message to north korea as you seek to enter leclaire talks with kim jong un no i think it sends the right message you know in seven years that deal will have expired and iran is free to go. go ahead and create nuclear weapons that's not acceptable seventy years is tomorrow that's not acceptable you can't help but

wonder at the logic if there is any it's hard to tell sometimes with trump how is ripping up a nuclear disarmament deal a good thing or a good precedent maybe north korea will get it it has now floated the idea that it's too could give up its nuclear program it is important to be positive optimistic look forward don't think about what happened to the last few guys that gave up their nukes maybe mr bolton didn't think about what he was saying he does want north korea to disarm right not grew its nuclear arsenal and paranoia or perhaps mr bolton one of the most hawkish and militant officials in the u.s. brought up libya on purpose it seems like they're telling the north koreans don't disarm when they do that because of course north korea like iraq for that matter disarm and then the u.s.

invaded them and destroyed them and killed the leaders and killed all the people in the in the ruling circles so you can really tell mr crump when you i mean you know one moment endorsing peace at another moment is telling. mr kim that he's going to be. sodomized with the baronet like the. old market off or hang them as they did to saddam hussein if the north koreans feel the u.s. is going to destroy their country i would have starved all the countries in that area meanwhile south korea has started removing the loud speakers from its border with the north in light of the deescalation they used to use and now pointed messages like these. i want to.

the broadcasts could be heard not only by north korean soldiers on the border but also by locals living close to it propaganda loudspeakers on both sides of regularly being removed and re-installed following times of both tension and deescalation between the two koreas meanwhile the leader of south korea giant is even reportedly suggested donald trump deserves the nobel peace prize for his efforts we got public reaction to this first in the united states. which world leader has done the most for world peace three. that's a tough one but i guess i'd point to him as a man of south korea and can you point to which world leader has done the most for world peace out of these three. who was. there you tell us why. on all three trump the only one that's been able to get these people to talk to each other. the leader of south korea has suggested that donald trump be

given the nobel prize my god no he doesn't deserve anything but. i find it difficult to give donald trump credit for anything is the worst thing i ever heard oh my god. yeah that's not going to have. just hours before the united states was about to slap europe with huge import tariffs for steel and aluminum special exemption has been extended now have been feared if the tariffs had come into force that they could have triggered a full scale trade war let's go stateside now smear a car on the correspondent is in washington samir to take us through then how this came about. well one would think that europe would be happy with trump's decision to extend the exemption for another month but europe wasn't too pleased saying that the tariff should be done away with completely now in addition to that the e.u. warned that it would not negotiate under threat now the exemption was set to expire tuesday but according to the u.s.

secretary for commerce trump decided to extend after some quote fruitful discussions about an overall reduction in trade tensions these uncertainties however have negatively affected european businesses check out what the confederation of british industry had to say about it. is the state of exemption has only been granted for one extra month there's a sense of the cam having been kicks down the road firms cannot continue making investment decisions based on short term uncertain deadlines. washington has been trying to force countries to accept quotas on steel an element of imports and they have until june first to accept washington's ultimatum now if things are so tense that chancellor merkel and president mccrone even cross the atlantic to talk to trump about this but it doesn't seem like it matters how touchy feely you get with trump his mind appears to be set. you know it sounds so nice the european union.

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. if tariffs are imposed the e.u. who just happens to be washington strongest trading partner says it will retaliate by placing tariffs on lucrative american imports including a harley-davidson motorcycles levi's jeans orange juice and kentucky bourbon to name a few. so now we will also pose import tariffs this is basically. the fact that we have to do this christmas but we have to do. some motorcycles harley davidson and blue jeans even on bourbon we can also use we also have to be this year. so the good news is the trade war has been postponed for now but the question is will europe back pedal and he thanks a lot of dates that's american in washington for us ok let's bring in jeffrey

tooken now he's. a disorder director at the american institute for economic research great to have you on jeffrey let's talk about this extend suspension first of all are you surprised or not. i'm not super i'm not surprised i mean trump tries to keep everybody guessing all the time. you know economists use this word regime uncertainty as as a way of identifying a major cause of the lack of economic growth that's what the this is it's recent regime uncertainty nobody knows what he's going to do next but it's very harmful for investment in harmful for trading mallets and are harmful to the world economy not too much time to really change much what happens when we get to the presumably the same point months from now. right i mean he's going to probably he's going to extend it again but you know like the european commission said in a very pointed press release we will not negotiate with

a gun to our head i mean and i must say as an american i'm very embarrassed and this is what we've come to i mean one of the great improvements in the world economy since world war two has been a kind of come a collegiality among nations. to lower tourer tariff barriers and to cooperate as that of smith said to expand the division of labor governments the essence of prosperity in the twenty first century and it's very sad that i would even have to say this but but dol trump believes in a zero sum kind of world it's like either america wins or america loses and this is the way sees things but this is not the right way to describe international trade relationships it's about cooperation among among producers there are no there's no such thing as america as a business or only american businesses and entrepreneurs and and it's french and german and spanish entrepreneurs and they're trying to make the

best of it you know to help consumers and meanwhile you've got this guy who has a lot of power and he's threatening everybody and everything you wonder why the u.s. economy is not growing despite the tax cuts. the tax cut was very good but you notice that the latest figures show there's there's no boost there's no boost in investment no exuberance and this is because of this terrorist threat which is just ongoing it's like a sort of damocles hanging over the global economy who's got the most to lose here if this does descend into you know mutual trade tariffs the e.u. just more likely to back down a will suffer the most. i don't think the e.u. is going to back down and i think the use state disciplined very very clear this is not anything anybody wants you know it's very difficult to say who's got the most to lose. everyone has something to lose american producers and consumers and

all of european producers and consumers and china and latin america and canada and australia. this is what's so frustrating to me and every time i'm asked to talk about this i get a little i get frustrated because the whole issue of free trade was solved several hundred years ago and why we're having to revisit this now i don't know and what i think people understand about dahl chomp and that. and i think it's time that we realize this this is a convinced economic nationalist like he thinks he really believes that is in his heart that if he can create an american national machine or production that's not dependent on europe canada and the rest of the world that this will somehow be good for america. this is wrong but this is a view is held for something like thirty years and now we're all we're all going to

suffer because of this one theoretical errors and this one overly dogmatic because you keep if that's the case then the really believes in his position are you more inclined to say then that he's not just bluffing here and that trade war is pretty imminent. truly i think trade war is what he intended from the moment he put his hand on the bible and to be off the top of office i think the first year of two thousand and seventeen was just kind of bait us with was very good policies of deregulation and taxes and once his popularity got over fifty percent least the thing that he really believes in which is trade war and i say this based on personal experience and evidence and i have friends who work for him all right so in two thousand and fifteen i heard him in july. give a second speech program for the presidency he led with this protectionist theme

it's really at the very core of who yes and i have many friends who recruited into the administration and i kept telling them are you aware that i'm going to work for an economic nationalists for a protectionist man who's going to bring the worst of trade war to the world this is worse than smoot holly this is as bad as anything that's happened possibly in two hundred years and they're like. don't worry about it everything is going to be fine you'll see reason when the stock market falls you'll grow up. to listen to advice to look what's happened i mean the stock every time he talks protectionism stock market falls. is tax cuts are not working as they should everybody in the world is panicked i mean his own base is is very frustrated about what's happening right now they're losing their markets losing their trade routes. losing their trade partners and even then despite all the evidence and still sticks to it and i think it's a tribute to the power of ideology that you could you could continue to believe in

protectionism and mercantilism really more and more scientifically expressed by countless despite all the evidence all around and i don't think don't think we'll ever shake it i think it's a fundamental principle for him so yes. i don't i don't think he wants to come to good good resolutions of his complex he wants to create the complex and then keep created and keep creating the conflicts i'm so sorry to tell you this but this is my read of donald trump and and i don't see anything that contradicts geoff we greatly appreciate your time and your friend views my guest jeffrey took a i told all right at the american institute for economic research thanks to first . my pleasure thanks. thanks for leading cancer surgeon in russia or is raising awareness of the dangers of late diagnosis he launched his campaign after he himself found out too late that he has the disease and now has little chance of

survival. the sickness will channel when there was no ovations come forth from them that i was ill but had stomach ache took some pills still decided to check to look the symptoms meant to scan clearly showed was true so a day later i already had no sex. with a judge and yeah but the day i found out i told my wife the news in full suppressants for our kids she panicked started crying hines was shaking i tried to comfort her as i could told her treatment plans the hardest thing is to help my kids come. home as

screens. question young failed to be elected he called to block major roads railways and airports while supporters pledged to continue protesting until he is quote victorious and earlier on tuesday he warned of a political tsunami if he doesn't win if a candidate is rejected by parliament by a median or a fresh vote must be held in the chamber within seven days and if a prime minister is not confirmed for a second time parliament's dismissed and fresh national elections are held the muscle position protests started almost three weeks ago and forced the previous prime minister. to resign. but not quite a resignation moments ago very short break half an hour then a return of the latest news headlines.
