and for cheap oil has led to the massive expansion of kamel plantations which is means the destruction of rain forest. get into these you know a lot more than ten million typed in as if unique rain forest has been destroyed and it's a process that just keeps going. visit to the u.s. state department for the first time to swear in former cia director mike pompei o as the country's new top diplomat. so they're trying to bamboozle the entire world in a word like the president trying to say. enough of that the israeli prime minister

urges the u.s. to abandon the iran nuclear deal and accuses tehran of lying about secret weapons program plus. made a riots cause havoc in paris with active activists smashing windows torching cars and clashing with police over the french president's labor reform. party broadcasting live direct from our studios in moscow is our chief international john thomas certainly glad to have you with us now former cia director mike pompei or has been sworn in as the new u.s. secretary of state the ceremony was attended by president. i must say that's more spirit than i've heard from the state department in a long time many years we can say many years maybe many decades it's going to be

a fantastic start a fantastic day and that spirit will only be magnified only with this man right here i know that for a fact the ceremony took place at the state department with trump president in fact it was the president's first ever visit but trump had nothing but praise for pompei a calling him a quote patriot with immense talent energy and intellect and. the most memorable moment from pompei speech was when he vowed to help the united states get back its wagger. i talked about getting back our swagger and i'll fill in what i mean by that but it's important the united states diplomatic corps needs to be in every corner every stretch of the world executing missions on behalf of this country pompei a speech was well received by everyone from the media to other officials some don't even wait to compare of the tillerson saying that he was more open than tillerson ever was pump a i did however stress the concept of american exceptionalism which

is generally considered controversial in some circles at least i talked in my my hearing about the fact that this nation is so exceptional and so incredibly blessed this is a unique exceptional country russia is unique but not exceptional it wasn't always smooth sailing for pompei o his nomination was initially met with fierce backlash from both ends of the spectrum mostly democrats but a few republicans here and there speaking of his views on foreign policy let's check out what pompei i had to say about north korea and iran prior to his nomination. i can't think of a thing that has put america in a better position as a result of this deal we're a year out from the agreement and every single action the iranians have taken has been bolder and starker than the ones they took before the agreement. a very real danger. by hardly ever escape a day at the white house without the president asking me about north korea and how

it is that the united states is responding to that threat it's very much at the top of his mind they are ever closer to having the capacity to hold america risk with a nuclear weapon throughout this whole debate pompei has stayed pretty busy over easter weekend he met with a d p r k's leader marshall kim jong un but it might get a little bit more hectic now that things are getting tense with iran it will be interesting to see how pump handle that one given that he's openly pro israeli and pro saudi which could present somewhat of an issue when he's dealing with their mutual arch enemy so what is up to see if this leads to any changes and more importantly if they're positive ones. the president has nine days to decide whether to extend sanctions relief for iran under an international nuclear deal and the israeli prime minister benyamin netanyahu is urging washington to withdraw from the agreement so they're trying to bamboozle the entire world and i am very glad that president trump has. enough of that we're not going to be hoodwinked we're not

going to be taken for a ride we're going to have to do a serious serious change or to make sure that iran does not have nuclear weapons that means this deal was a terrible deal why give this speech in english and do it in such a big way well because i wanted the world to hear all of it while bibi may claim he's trying to convince the world that really isn't true the only person he needs to convince ease trump and given trouble spots rhetoric that may not be so difficult to do donald trump made it clear he didn't like the deal back in the days of his campaign and netanyahu was presentation more showmanship than facts seemed to really mess with trump tonight i'm here to tell you one thing. i think of anything what's happening today and what's happened over the last little while and what we've learned has really shown that i've been one hundred percent

right his presentation was largely in english and he went all out to prove that iran is developing nuclear weapons he presented thousands of documents c.d.'s as part of his powerpoint presentation except almost all of it was old some of the stuff be presented as an indisputable evidence dated to nine hundred ninety three almost nothing beyond two thousand and three experts said john brennan former cia director said netanyahu showed nothing that indicated that iran had violated the nuclear deal and the international atomic agency agrees the agency had no credible indications of activities in iran relevant to the development of a nuclear explosive device of the two thousand and nine the us off the b.b.'s stun said that this proves that iran quote has a robust plan the nuclear weapons program

a few hours later they changed it quietly to iran quote had a robust clandestine nuclear weapons program they blamed clerical error for that one nonetheless they say iran is still dishonest iran lied on the front end they were dishonest actors so far it's been entirely unconvincing experts buying it u.s. officials skeptical pundits and convinced european allies trump to come to his senses and reconsider almost everyone else is too but benjamin netanyahu has his charms and he's done it before there is a question what's to it that's. and is working and is advancing towards the development of nuclear weapons question what's we see how confident he

was only an invasion and thousands of deaths laid to did we find out that b.b. had lied his chum's never worked with a bomb and they didn't get along all that well but they go to along great with bush and it looks like it's working with trump great friends those two they've both claimed the iran nuclear agreement was struck in two thousand and fifteen it was brokered by the us china britain russia france and germany and hailed as a major and diplomatic breakthrough the negotiations took nine years in exchange for some sanctions being lifted tehran agreed to strict limits on its nuclear program and to open up its facilities to international inspectors then a mcadams from the ron paul peace institute believes the israeli leader is trying to manipulate the u.s. president netanyahu knows very well that he cannot take on iran on its own bibi is playing trump like a fiddle but look around trump is good all the same losers that were in power in

two thousand and two who lied us into going into iraq or we're supposed to believe that somehow just a week or so before trump has to make his decision on iran that all of a sudden it come into this amazing information here let us rush to share with you this information telling you how evil they are it's all pure theatrical just like his ridiculous bomb thing at the un it's just a desperate ploy to lie us into another war. paris has been gripped by its worst may day unrest sense one thousand nine hundred sixty eight on tuesday more than a thousand and our guests showed up at the union led rally against president micron's labor reforms masked writers hurled smoke grenades to destroyed cars and clashed with police more than two hundred activists were arrested. reports now from paris. it's come over here and you'll be able to see the bullets here of a fast food restaurant that is being put up that was completely and utterly destroyed yesterday restaurants further behind on the street will also destroyed

and basically the police did very little in fact nothing for a long time when this destruction was happening it was only further only into the demonstration when the violence took place of the little bit further on that they actually did something now they've said the reason that they didn't react as quickly as some people say they should have is because they were trying to avoid collateral damage there's also been criticism criticism of president he's currently only official tool of a strain some people saying the president shouldn't have left france when there was so much social and ease here he has hit back saying what did you expect me to do sit at home and watch it on t.v. but the violence by the black books as a say some of the worst that i've seen in paris take a look at what unfolded on may day in the middle of cashews now starting when the police wanted to maybe look over you'll see the tear gas is coming up to us the police move again i'm not because just behind us there is

a fire going on the demonstrators have put fire to a vehicle and emerged a bike and as you can see. 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 in the form 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 b the fact it's still own fire over that. in the distance the process is doing is if you just turn around a little bit will kill me to have a look at this you may see this. dog smoke coming up here on the protesters what

they did is they let fly it see what seemed to be some sort of motorbike and a car shola deep in ski. paris. us democrats are losing the support of young voters according to the latest polls that story and much more still to come. but politicians do something to. put themselves on the line they get accepted or

rejected. so when you want to be present. for something i want to. get to the right person to see what the three of them or the people. i'm interested always in the waters of. the city. welcome back this is our city international and u.s. democratic party is failing to win over young voters this according to a new poll a survey by reuters news agency found that support for the democrats has fallen from fifty five percent two years ago to forty six percent in the under thirty four

age group or mop and went to the streets of new york for us to gauge whether the younger generations values are really shifting. are young americans just less rebellious and more friendly to tradition and authority or is there a problem on the left side of the spectrum we decided to talk with some younger americans and find out shutting down conservative or right wing speakers on college campuses to identify with that shutting them down now i don't think we should completely shut them down and why agassi think everyone should have a voice and be able to speak on campuses he shouldn't close it seems to be to want to be open to anything i mean especially if there's a college setting that's a good as the last place we should be saying no to open ideas and discussion i don't think that's fair because everybody is entitled to their opinion we don't have to agree with each other that doesn't necessarily mean we can't have a civilized conversation facebook different social media outlets saying a certain racial words are offensive and those they'll strike them down to take speech do you agree with that. no i don't. want again

everybody has. their right to. talk on they want to talks because they want to speak it's a free country so why not share yeah they shouldn't censor things i and i think that a lot worse things are happening in the world what about like getting rid of certain sports practices they say are offensive to women like ring girls in boxing or cheerleading. i would say leave the option forward to something that exists and don't necessarily like promote it's as a thing we don't necessarily have to get rid of it i think we should just to just put more males into it there's somebody always willing to take the jobs years ago it was liberals that were calling for freedom of speech and challenging social norms but these days we're increasingly seeing calls for censorship coming from the left so is it possible that younger americans simply don't want to comply with the

rules being imposed by the liberal order are conservatives now the rebels able bop and r. t. new york. debate is also raging over so-called cultural appropriation and whether it is inappropriate and idea promoted by some on the left in the latest case a young woman was criticized for posting a picture online wearing a traditional chinese dress to earth school prom.

to everyone causing so much negativity i mean no disrespect to chinese culture i'm simply sharing my appreciation to their culture i'm not the leading my post because i've done nothing but show my clout for the culture or the way people dress to the way they talk about if they speak about the democrat party over the last decade america has been anything but the american people will have of the democratic party is that they focus on issues to create a mentality that's that's the ruling dynamic of the democratic party they go out and seek people who feel what they kind of fanned the flames of the mentality convincing them that they have an oppressor and then they say we're here to rescue . boy scouts of america are changing their name after more than one hundred years of history now as the organization is allowing girls to

join it the word boy is said to be dropped. we wanted to land on something that evokes the past but also conveys the inclusive nature of the program going forward we're trying to find the right way to say we're here for both young men and young women or the boy scouts along with the girl scouts of america were founded in the early twentieth century the two groups were set up to teach life skills and aid character development for boys and girls separately and the girl scouts have said that they will be keeping their name girl scouts is a premier leadership development organization for girls we are and will remain the first choice for girls and parents made a letter to boy scouts of america last year the girl scouts accused the movement of trying to up and a paradigm that has served both boys and girls so well through the years meanwhile twitter users have joined the debate with plenty of people criticizing the name change fabulous move forward i've been impressed by the boy scouts and eagle scouts

their focus on acquiring confidence confidence and real life skills always wished they had something as rigorous for girls as a form of boy scout i say this is a terrible idea boys need to be with other boys at times without girls being present to be boys most girls would not want to do what the boys do and it is wrong to change the boys counts in this way the boy scouts are opening the doors to girls due to losing membership and money the girl scouts organization a completely against it because now the girl scouts will lose membership feminists are loving the boy scouts move not realizing it may destroy the women run girl scouts we heard some contrasting views on the story from political activist kate smyth weight and legal analyst lionel. there isn't a great deal of evidence to suggest that only boys want to do traditionally male activities and only girls want to do traditionally female activities there is very very obviously there are

a lot of doctor like climbing trees and there are lots of way there is like baking cakes and to try to say to young people you have to only do this what we should of course do is give them a range of activities on sunday letting them actually encourage them to try new stuff because that's what. our what is there i have found that's not what this is about and you know it this goes to show you how there was an absolute determined effort to destroy whatever was left of this thing called the jones are it's now considered almost like racist or inappropriate to do anything to distinguish boys from girls we are just turning their men to just these these i don't know these hominids or these kids who don't play who don't enjoy doing things like i did like we did being a boy and roughhousing i'm kind of concerned with the idea that it's somehow great to encourage boys to to fight and be super of tip super rough and super violent

with each other i think but this is two thousand and eighteen and the idea that it somehow good for young men to be thrown into some sort of boxing ring i think that we should offer young people boys and girls a whole range of activities and there are definitely arguments in favor of allowing them to do some of those activities and violent marriage definitely arguments in favor of allowing them to do at least some of those activities mixed environment most people think that this is absurd there's a problem it's not just boys and girls kids are not allowed to be kids anymore we're playing it so safe we've got a helmet there was a time when if you were a red blooded american male that's not how they're always learned to have kids you know his right and cried i read here and there i mean fine and there was nothing wrong with it but now when. it is for you is no more is to sit around and this is horrible this is called a gender no love sick a should look at all part of this complete and total

ridiculous idea that people are afraid that there are genders and that boys like to do boys stuff and the girls like to do girls stuff it's not an acronym stick it's true. in armenia tens of thousands of protesters brought to the capital your van to a grinding halt on wednesday activists blocked major roads after parliament refused to accept the leader of the opposition nicole paasschen jaan as interim prime minister and the gathering was largely peaceful it followed weeks of unrest in armenia since former president assessor's sarg siana was appointed prime minister by his will and party he had already served for the maximum of two terms as president critics called the move unconstitutional and in attempts to cling to power a groundswell of public anger forced him to resign there will now be another attempt to elect an interim prime minister and break the political deadlock next week if no candidate is successful elections will be held. in the fee for

joy seen on c.n.n. every few months when the united states drops a few by on yet another group of poor people on the opposite side of the world spite all that the last time the united states congress actually declared war was all the way back in june one thousand and forty two against romania of all places as part of world war two this of course leads to one of the great political paradoxes of our time just how does the united states legally justified its constant state of warfare when our pounding paperwork the founding paperwork of a country the united states constitution quite specifically states that only congress has the power to declare war not george herbert walker not bill c. not not moroccan certainly not the donald enter the ighly controversial and much debated authorization for use of military force or a u.m.s. that that along with the national defense authorization act has been responsible

for all of our collective killing of poor brown folks around the world since nine eleven representative barbara lee out of california was the lone vote against the a us back in two thousand and one stating it was a blank check to the president to attack anyone involved in the september eleventh events anywhere in any country without regard to our nation's long term foreign policy economic and national security interests and without a time limit in granting these overly broad powers the congress failed its responsibility to understand the dimensions of its director late declaration. and sadly that they have as the a you a map has been stretched about as thin as it could ever possibly be imagined in order to justify u.s. military action in syria and other places and now congress has got that authorizing military force feeling again and particularly u.s. senators bob corker and tim kaine you member tammy rand with hillary out of years ago. both looking to replace the original a you a map with

a new and improved trump proof two thousand and eighteen version of the a us map but i'm a but are they are they truly trying to put congress back in control of the u.s. war machine or the really just midterm elections smoke and mirrors with potentially deadly consequences let's find out as we start watching all. the. seats at the bottom if you. like you know that i got. this. week so. well remember the watching the hawks i have to roll but the target that have the lowest.
