the prime minister intensified efforts to convince donald trump to drop the iran nuclear deal and the dramatic power point presentation benjamin netanyahu claimed to wrong and lied about its nuclear ambitions and his revelations came just days before the us president will decide whether to drop the agreement they're trying to bamboozle the entire world in and burglar the president trying to say well you know enough of that we're not going to be good when we're not going to be taken for a ride we're going to have to do a serious serious change your 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 is trump and given trump's past 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 is presentation more schuman ship than facts seemed to really mess with trump tonight i'm here to tell you one thing. lart 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 b.b. 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 the b.b.c. done said that this proves that iran quote has a robust plan this time nuclear weapons program a few hours later they changed it quietly to iran quote had a robust plan to start a 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 urging 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 later did we find out that b.b. had lied his chum's never worked with the bomb they didn't get along all that well but they got along great with bush and it looks like it's working with trump great friends those two they've both claimed that iran nuclear deal was struck in twenty fifteen between taronga and six world powers and hailed as a huge diplomatic success but because she took nine year is in exchange for some

sanctions been lifted iran agreed to strict limits on its nuclear program and to open up its facilities to international experts don't you mcadams his negative directed at ron paul institute for peace face the timing of netanyahu his charm offensive is all too convenient 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 you really are it's all purity you just like is ridiculous bomb thing at the un it's just a desperate ploy to lie us into another war of violence not seen for fifty years hit the streets of paris during may day rallies this week

a report from the french capital after this break. join me every thursday on the alec simon show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see you then. put in lives by two things by his emotion and he is. in the long term he placed

a very long lead he says so to speak of the. long distance runner in politics and that's the way the underestimates. welcome back now massive rallies to mark may day in the french capital turned violent this week as demonstrators burned cars and hauled smoke grenades more than two hundred protesters were arrested our correspondent sheila day to day bensky was at the scene. we're in the middle of cashews now starting the police already tonight in the kind

of the you'll see the tear gas is coming up to us the police move again and not because just behind us there is a fire going on the demonstrators have put forward to a vehicle and nobody could 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 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 jedi c.p.d. fact it's still own fire over there in the distance the process is did is if you just turn around a little bit more will come to have

a look at this you may see this. over talk smoke coming up here on the protesters what they did is they lit for it she what seemed to be some sort of motorbike and the car just want to give you a sense of what sort of damage has been created from those clashes not just the conscious but the damage that was coolest by the protesters 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 capitalist spy anti fascists and they indeed became in their hundreds ready with a fee if they safety it to be checked himself t.a.v.r. cinemax protesters leave damaging and smashing himself a. nice part of paris and the police let them be just come over here and you'll be able to see the bullets here of a fast food restaurant that have been put up that was completely and utterly destroyed restless for the behind down the street to destroy and basically

the police did very little in fact nothing for a long time we destruction was happening it was only need only into demonstration pilots to place. the role that they actually did so. they know they've said the reason that they didn't react just quickly some people see the shooting is because they were trying to avoid collateral damage. u.s. republicans have suggested donald trump is deserving of the nobel peace prize they claim that the president should be recognized for his work to end the korean war and for moves to denuclearize the peninsula and historic meeting between the leaders of the north and south or the two countries pledged to rid the peninsula of nuclear weapons before the end of the year apart from denuclearize ation the states agreed to formally end the korean war which dates back a half a century however president trump thinks that achievement is down to him. now there

was so. what do you think. president trump had to do with i'll tell you what i kept everything. he's a sick puppy rocket man is on a suicide mission for himself obviously he's a pretty smart cookie we will have no choice but to totally destroy north korea. rocket man is on a suicide mission for himself. i just don't think the new. which world leader has done the most for world peace is three. that's

a tough one but i guess i'd point to the moon of south korea can you point to which world leader has done the most for world peace out of these three. and will. you tell us why. joy from 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 have any. fun is difficult to get from a strong critic ready is the will to have a hook oh my god. yeah that's not going to happen. donald trump's policy towards the koreas has been one of hostility sanctions and threats of fire series defense minister jim mattis threatened us 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. is. has been so courageous is that for us to reconcile with the north and so really calls for donald trump to receive a nobel prize really reflect how insular and parochial view of right wing is right wing supporters is donald trump has really not played a role. then it's around north and south korea. a british police monitoring group has forced u.k. authorities to release its counterterrorism training materials after years of court battles a document reveals that anti fracking activists are considered extremists much like radical islamists or neo nazis and apparently base goes beyond mere words oh yes i was. that's the scariest unbelievable she might be believe was.

more. narrow. the police have been involved in dragging disabled people out of wheelchairs on the public holiday way of assaulting people and of standing by and more. private security companies employed by the fracking companies come out of their sight on to the public highway and that's what they've done think people by putting people to sleep or hold positions or kinds of assault so it happens. law enforcement and emergency crews claim however that the activists were feigning injury for the cameras and making false claims over police brutality some of those fighting for the extraction method to be banned are categorized as domestic extremists that's

how they're included in the framework of the british counterterrorism program known as prevent and protestors are being monitored by anti terror agencies now one case because downrange involved a three police officers dragging a disabled and elderly protester across the road when i got to talk to the woman in the video eighty five year old and power lines. i don't think they did consider me a threat i was simply a nuisance. they were wanting a big lorry to enter the sides and i was in the way and. i'm obviously an elderly person fairly frail now i wasn't a big difficulty of to them six policemen could've handled me extremely well three policemen i think it was handed me quite easily it was no difficulty to them so i couldn't have been a stretch did anyone officially apologize to you following that incident oh no no

there's never been any apology i've never had any official communication about it. but in just under twenty four hours vladimir putin's presidential inauguration will officially start his fourth term as the leader of russia r.t. goes down our takes a look at what we can expect from monday's ceremony. this is lattimer putin's stairway to presidency so to speak he will climb these fifty eight steps before he gets to the halls of the palace also the site of the inauguration ceremony. this is the hall of military glory playing tough to sing george and it is a first hold lattimer putin is said to cost on his path to no curation it is also the biggest hole in the palace with its length be more than sixty meters.

the next whole the whole the whole of the order of single xander being entered right now it is difficult to imagine that for the larger part of the twentieth century none of this even existed after it had been demolished by soviet leaders only twenty years ago this was brought back to its former glory. it's not all of the glitters is gold they say well it couldn't be more wrong for this place i mean look at this gilded villas chandelier even this this is the hole where the inauguration ceremony will be taking place latimer will be standing

in the far right end of the hole once again in his life the same old thirty three words good will officially start his next tenure as the president so russia remembers donna from the from the see. also from me this sunday taking over at the top of the hour. you know. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy people in from day shouldn't let it be an arms race is on all fronts very dramatic development only mostly i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be

successful very critical of time to sit down and talk. pummel is one of the most controversial products of our time but it's a solid vegetable found that's very cheap. twenty seventeen production grew to sixty three million tons that rapid growth an international demand for cheap oil has led to the massive expansion of plantations which is the destruction of the rain forest. given to the zero a lot more than ten million typed in as of unique rain forest has been destroyed and it's a process that just keeps going. welcome

to worlds apart of the recent series of events on the north korean track has attended many diplomatic conventions but only have the south koreans become the unlikely mass injuries between pyongyang and washington they've also become spokespeople for both can dole trump supposedly acceptance of kim jong un suppose it invitation photogs break these decades old stalemate well to discuss that i'm now joined by under the law professor at the university insult professor link of it's good to have you on the show thank you very much for your time thank you very much at your service now we've just witnessed

a major turnaround in how north korea and the united states approach one another just a few weeks ago the world feared to break out of a nuclear war now we are discussing the potentiality of the first ever face to face meeting between the two leaders since the korean war what do you think accounts for these dramatic shifts i will i would say cynically blackmail. because or was the last year u.s. administration or well let's say more there's been all but a size president himself has walked a very hard to create an impression there huge seriously considering that. nobody but president trump himself can possibly know was a he was really going to strike north scary or perhaps it was all bluff bluffing to create such a then pressure on him to get you to go. it's reza sincere or not this

policy of persia has finally walked. or will september suddenly changed its edgy heute to send chills dieting or study historically was remarkably reluctant to support tough sanctions against north korea barred from august of september chani is probably in somebody's guards tougher than the united states saw the prior to shorter they're working very hard so essentially what you're saying is that donald managed to change the calculus of not only the north koreans but also other parties to this conflict but the north koreans do not have a reputation of being particularly feeble minded in fact i think they have a reputation of being very tough negotiators and trying to get as much as possible for as little as possible and yet all of a sudden they show this openness for one sided concessions agreeing to suspend

military and ballistic tests while north asking the americans to suspend their military exercises is that a measure of how frightened they are or perhaps a calculation on their part that they may get more in return later on bourse. bridges sure that in the long run as the north koreans the smart america. because you know i've been studying the history and this is you see a history of how well. and his father and the special his grandfather many people aged russians sells americans journeys and they always view or vigorous but right now they are still frightened because i mentioned sentients is there yet to produce impact but in due time situation is likely to deteriorate and of course the dorms want to be shot at they understand in case of war they get in freak a great deal of day. on the us and their allies by they also understand that in the

end of the day they're going to suffer much more so the dorms want a shooting war and even the his you were that this is was going to happen if they don't stop well they decided to stop is a methyl fact exit action is they introduce them on their missile tests a nuclear launches not now now they just confirmed it for all practical purposes they did it in late november and they also floated a possibility of being open to discuss the so-called denuclearization of the peninsula now i know from your own writing that it sounds big but it doesn't carry much at least in your view but do you think there is anything that could actually prompt young young to take this issue seriously and consider it i don't see any say that here where our reach will probably make to seriously consider.

their current statement is basically just. many people forget by the according to the nine hundred sixty eight treaties signed by all the major nuclear powers including tonight of states russia and share that and france and united kingdom all this countries are under obligation to a venture to surrender the nuclear weapons. i think show american or russian or chinese documents you see that this is not exactly was there of working hard to achieve so just really observers north korea's can easily do the same they can is it into words they're americans so russians have been doing for decades just to see involve beautiful point in a very distant future probably they will surrender nuclear weapons not know precious a link of you mentioned the believe service and i think it's also become a bit of a diplomatic ritual to indoors the denuclearized nation of the peninsula but if we look at it through. do you thing regional powers like russia like china actually

want pyongyang to fully disarm absolutely because it's very often is under stuart budget russian government has over it's been deadly against nuclear north korea and this a or even more is a predictable to china you know or russia is no flooded visit and ten american feelings so that if you will say vows they gave the life histories they're good guys they have supported them not because in the end of the day first of all russia be economy vice the cousin countries needs nuclear superiority even more and it has no interest in merchants or for new nuclear powers because that i view because pickets know it's last year tomorrow it may be scary if they're discussing as seriously as vietnam and then more nuclear power with iran on their list military significant russia becomes and it's only part of the story and as

a part of the story is just all good proliferation of north koreans norm to be politer rate as well but the counter-argument to that would be that the north korean partial nuclear arsenal provides security guarantees not only to the regime itself but also to its neighbors against a military intervention the breakout of a major war on their borders and as you pointed out in one of your recent articles nobody wants to see a replay of the libyan events in east asia so my question she is whether north korea having a short nuclear stick not a fully developed but some some blunts of a nuclear weapon doesn't dod provide a certain guarantee to both russia and china that the united states would not intervene recklessly on their borders no security guarantees for russia provided by the russia nuclear and missile force or spirit all countries if they develop nuclear weapons. they agree into the long run increase instability i'm not saying

that we can do anything about north korea nuclear weapons i'm just saying that from the point of view of the russian the national interest it's not a good news look now it's about scary but if north korea becomes nuclear it will become all the logical for south korea to warn your korea as well because yes now say and probably believe they need nuclear weapons for defense but the us not forget it was in north korea invaded in one thousand fifty. official line is that does not exist south study is in the us occupy a territory to be eventually liberate it's ruled my cheapie did but if according to the north. this is a situation sort of what should not do probably develop nukes and if that happens what about japan what about what about vietnam all this country's have a lot of. us by the way most cases against china and this is it is only by chinese

so i'm happy about north korean nuclear program russia is a bit unhappy chad is seriously unhappy because if it's not stopped in ten feet twenty s. time channel you'll find itself surrounded by small really hostile countries and beatrice reasons to hate cherry no going back to many centuries and each country has a nuclear weapons professor i heard you say that the north korean regime is likely to be accommodating as long as it believes that the us administration could be reckless enough to launch a strike against said despite all the potential ramifications for south korea as well as for the region in general how much mileage do you think the trombetta ministration can get out of it what's the maximum that they can potentially extort from pyongyang by using these scare tactics. would say a lot of what they heard the last of the. it's basically if they can get much more

then i areally stickily expect because. a century except it was a good military exercises will behalves it's the same situation i just discussed when we're talking about does a beauty of the nuclear program because if they have basically is a noise they can do nothing about joint military exercises non-sale is for the last few months it did look like the future deal if you include it do you think something about the scale or continuation of frankenstein of the joint exercises and recently it in or scary as essential as a military exercises cavies us we don't care we don't worry about it the she is was pretty mess of concessions so i would say that say about a year ago three years ago i used to say and many others observers said well sooner or later north koreans probably will see him and start talking but they're going to

extract a lot of every scene from the united states all interested parties now it seems that the. major condition is just to make sure that americans will not start shooting second to have some of their recent sanctions lifted as soon as possible before it will strike the economy and they're not going to port much more demands for the time being now professor link of there is a lot of discussion in the united states especially among those who do not support the idea of the presidential summit that it would be encouraging and north korea for its bad behavior but i think the relevant question here is also whether it would encourage trump for his bad behavior because you mentioned that he's policy of essentially blackmail hasn't worked so far if that summit indeed takes place. wouldn't that make bellicosity on the american part more acceptable form of foreign

policy.
