defense forces stated that they will continue to operate against the protests which they call a terrorist act inspired by hamas and as the u.s. readies to move its embassy to jerusalem on monday protests are likely to intensify to the un is now warning of potential escalation i'm particularly worried about too big and becoming the it is. the u.s. embassy move through jerusalem on monday with a planned protest some girls won't take this opportunity again to call israel to be very careful and calibrated the code uses force in addressing the protesters and goes on but also call on commerce believers of the protests in gaza to prevent friction to prevent situations in which provoke issues can happen while the diplomatic switch to jerusalem is first announced last year sparking deadly protests in palestine as well as condemnation across the globe the city has long been a point of contention it's regarded as
10:05 am
a holy site in several religions however israel claims it as its capital. i have determined that it is time to officially recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel but. the greater the law. was not the first. what was. the but. now anger has been vented on the streets of tehran as thousands took to the streets there to denounce president trump's decision to tear up the iran nuclear deal.
10:06 am
was. on tuesday the us president officially announced washington was dumping the iran nuclear deal struck by the obama administration trump has long described the agreements as one of the worst steels ever made iran they fired back saying washington itself is never fulfilled its commitments under the agreement struck three years ago while other parties to the deal also seem to be less happy less than happy with trump's decision. and i think it's not right to unilaterally advance on a deal that was agreed upon that was not an unlikely approved security council diminishes come from international law. and it emerged armbands money if we always say that if we don't. actually know you know international everyone will do what they feel that's bad news for the one it is. ok let's get
10:07 am
more now on the european reaction from our correspondent in berlin peter all of the good afternoon pate just tell us then how are america's allies reacting to washington's move here well as we've just heard from angola merkel they're not particularly well this was a a doubling down from the german chancellor two statements in as many days where she's really expressed her disappointment in dollar terms decision to move the united states out of the uranium deal it covers up there on thursday she said that germany perhaps couldn't rely on the united states for its defense anymore that they have to make sure they looked after their own house which is also not just doing this alone she's presenting a united front of a soft along with. the french president so he's also been giving his reaction is disappointed reaction to the news that the united states will be pulling out of the iran deal he issued a statement saying that it here in germany as he was receiving an award for his his
10:08 am
work in bringing a united europe he said that. all nations of the world should respect the international order and international law in the united states wasn't above that. is never good for us to break the laws that we ourselves helped to create why because how can you convince powers that occasionally use force or violence that don't respect international law to follow our example when we don't even follow that example ourselves. well those two leaders providing an open united front saying they're disappointed in this decision to pull out of the a run nuclear deal but when you look at the european union what brussels has to say on the subject we've been hearing from federica maka raney who's the e.u.'s high representative on foreign affairs she's basically the foreign minister of the you close as they have to a foreign minister know she said that as far as the e.u. is concerned a run it stuck to its side of the deal and the e.u.
10:09 am
would stick to their side they would try and continue as much of a business is normal like way as they could despite the u.s. saying they were going to pull out the european union will remain committed to the continue at all and effective implementation of the nuclear deal with fully trust the work the competence and the autonomy of the international atomic energy agency that it's published then reports certify that iran has fully complied with its commitments or was hard to tell whether federica mockery was speaking with confidence or just blind optimism she said that the e.u. would try and continue with the deal as it had been agreed but the start is despite the united states breaking the terms of the deal by pulling out will have to see how long do you suppose e.u. nations can try and stick to this task and what the reaction will be from washington should they do that ok thanks for the update that was peter oliver there
10:10 am
for us in berkeley in so should europe be nothing more than a vassal to america will those in fact were the words of the french economy minister who searched the block to continue trading with iran despite the us sanctions. who do the europe needs to create new systems that will defend its interests what do we want to be bustles now what a baby blindly to what americans tell them or do we want us europeans to say that we have economic interests and we want to have economic relations with iran inside the framework of a strategic deal with iran which includes iran's renouncing of nuclear weapons within that this is the right way to go and so we continue to do business with iran well those emotional words by the french economy minister there to come is the new here where sanctions on iran threaten to put the screws on european companies doing business with iran is daniel bushell now reports so sanctions are back iran probably doesn't care much as had them in one shape or other for for decades
10:11 am
washington shooting itself and our allies in the foot surely not. the youth in way over ten billion euro stuff to iran last year relationship in full bloom corporate giants now licking wounds include the biggest hitters on the continent from volkswagen to british airways airbus may be worst hit it signed a nineteen billion dollar deal with tehran just two years ago three billion more with as a man airlines why should europe care if trump quits the iran deal because he can make it your problem to write off the trumps announcement on his very first day on the job new u.s. ambassador to burley and tweeted the following all minutes threat as donald trump said u.s. sanctions will target critical sectors of iran's economy german companies doing business in iran should wind down operations immediately issuing national threats
10:12 am
via twitter seems trump picks people in his own image but this time he's crossed a diplomatic red line my advice after a long ambassadorial career explain your country's policies and lobby the host country but never tell the host country what to do if you want to stay out of trouble germans are eager to listen but they will resent instructions welcome to our country sir i'm looking forward to a good cooperation by the way this excludes threatening german companies for a policy announced by your president ignoring core security interests of europe here we have the entire nature of the transatlantic alliance of the order for the sham let it is because this is not and i and equal partners and friends successive european governments have actually claimed it is indeed their relationship between i hate you morning behave math washington and its european satellites and sure this
10:13 am
has all kinds of ramifications certainly more than economic ramifications for those companies so long as it helps the u.s. economy right trumps the businessman after all he must know how to oil the wheels of trade apparently not. gas prices of topped the psychological benchmark of two dollars eighty a gallon almost a painful fifty cents up in just a year and u.s. employers are hurting just weeks after trump's election boeing toasted a seventeen billion dollars deal for eighty u.s. built jetliners to iran air but when bragged about it in line with trump's favorite mantra i will take jobs back. their jobs or jobs good jobs and even great jobs jobs jobs today's agreement will support tens of thousands of u.s. jobs directly and nearly one hundred thousand u.s. jobs in the u.s. airspace value stream for the food course of deliveries jobs jobs jobs no more
10:14 am
future deals go on existing contracts scrapped u.s. workers on your bike so who take their place iran's already struck billion dollar deals with russian playmakers. china's all over iran like a rush huge energy deals you railroads and in cold hard cash iran has a strategy. of alliance with the russians and the chinese if. europeans leave if. american companies leave what happens is that iran is going to substitute the u.s. with russia and china ok i wouldn't discuss this a bit further than i with this man i think he's an international affairs in the fencepost for the france is a nice party and he's with us now in studio of
10:15 am
a welcome georgie firstly let's just talk about this situation of relations between america and europe we've heard many leaders come out now saying they're very unhappy with trump's decision how do you think this how. this whole episode could affect relations between america and europe why would it depend how independent will be do european countries until now they are followed all the years the syrian and all the crazy this you know of the drum and there are the. macro and micro were in washington they said that they would try to convince him not to change the agreement but until now is the boss is showing others the boss so. if they do not show any independence here nothing will change the reduced be a small region of the huge us empire but if they act as the it sounds they will act
10:16 am
which is good they will react and say that they will continue. to say women with iran maybe it will be the very first step of of a true european vengeance. against america in a sense can they do this though easily given the fact that so many european countries or businesses rather are now doing business with iran and of course america donald trump holds the strings to the us dollar and he could scupper a lot of those deals if he wanted to say how strong is europe's position. well you are very right that's the biggest problem and you said to the best trigger of trump again so european countries the united united states use it already during the obama and mr asian. there is there will be sanctions against iran and there will be sanctions because of the extra security of a u.s.
10:17 am
flows that will strike all the companies that are working with iran. even though they are guilty of of the things like huge french company that's making the car that you present of course in iran they would have to shut down all the factories and get out of iran which is completely absurd but if they do not act that way there will be punished by huge feet in billions like the us are doing and that's a big problem. paeans if they accept that if they accept once again they will follow washington but if they react. this should. be the law that that will also punish states company lettuces companies if they do that against our companies and i hope they will do that and america. which is not at all on my political side is the minister of economy in france he said just recently
10:18 am
that. what usa is doing is completely inacceptable. on a wider sort of viewpoint all this comes against the backdrop of a lot of anti rainin rhetoric from america from israel to you what do you fear is about a wider conflict here and perhaps how iran might react. and saudi arabia there for you forgot to mention them because it's it's a strong alliance and it's an alliance that since many years. that is build against iran. everything that trumps said it's so for the war but it's complete rubbish because those who are doing at tax terrorist attacks or supporting somehow dogs are guilty or with money in saudi arabia iran did terrorist attacks
10:19 am
but like twenty years ago we have no record of attacks maybe they can. send to us while they were thinking about. the other problem is that the point is that there is a war between the saudi arabia while a cold war since many many years with iran and you have a hot war in the yemen which is terrible with millions of people that are starving . it doesn't care i think trump and the big problem is that this can go to a war if if israel will bomb. iranian facilities as they did in iraq twenty years ago in iraq. then this will be a war it will be a huge change within iranian regime. hardliner will take the control of the country. it was really a bad thing but the result was there was one terrible thing is that yes iran has
10:20 am
one weapon of mass destruction they just after to shoot down two boats in the channel four news were seventy percent of all passing and it will be a huge huge collapse in the world economy so trump is completely insane here and say gee think that we've heard some european countries such as the u.k. to they've been very critical of syria and iran firing missiles into israel but. they haven't been so critical of the missiles that have come the other way from israel into syria do you think they should be more critical if we're looking to deescalate here shouldn't people perhaps step back a bit and say well look missiles being fired from both sides here it's not just from one party well from the england party it's really storytelling. and they should be independent go back on the first question they should be independent and remind you you say that these agreement it took more than ten years
10:21 am
to be to be signed by everybody and everybody including. great britain germany france chinese russian and should step back a bit and. try to calm down the u.s. the story and the saudi and said guys you have to stop here because this will be a huge nightmare. not to charge only iranian or syrians when syrians when the israeli are bombing very often the other problem is that two or three weeks ago and the time you get. a bill that. strike directly without passing. through the knesset agreement which is a big problem and it shows that they are preparing something and they hope. everybody here would be wise enough not to start. a war that would be dramatic for
10:22 am
everybody ok well let's hope so well look thank you very much for giving us your time today coming into the studio that was georgie because man of each international affairs and defense spokesperson for the the france and some nice party thank you very much. now in other news tonight at least six people have been killed in a reported saudi air strike near the yemeni capital that's according to local officials a word of warning you might find the following pictures disturbing. well video as you say filmed reassuring rescue operation here you can see that many people are trapped in the collapsed building local medics going to strike and a shot to journalist in. this movie tells about the rescue. scene this video oldest kids that were trapped under the. rubble they were from one
10:23 am
family which was targeted by so did that. they've been under the rubble for hours because the saudi has befriended. from reaching the site and we have seen in some of this video that one of the a girl called this a all which was crying and she was asking for some water just imagine she has been waited for four hours. and she was thirsty she couldn't feel her body and she thought that she was not injured and you can see totally in the footage. that was broadcast by many local t.v. channels that she was really really badly injured by this so-called sodhi strike or we have sent a request to the saudi led coalition in yemen asking for comments about the recent airstrike although so far we have received a response a spokesperson for the saudi coalition has said previously though their goal is to restore yemen's legitimacy and to make the country safe and secure however
10:24 am
according to human rights groups the bombing campaign has resulted in a grave crisis in the country saudis repeatedly insisted they target rebels not civilians but. again says he has evidence to the contrary. those bombs were brought to me by children in that area just imagine i mean this yellow bright color just what i would hope in that. villages i mean i want to ask the u.s. ambassador to the united nation or supplying this bomb to the saudi the coalition the only country that actually is using this bombs on yemen the only company that i mean i have a blockade in yemen the only fight that is. on the scale in yemen there are so do you fight that you get that out of fuel but. the only thing that they like is they skated about is what type of missile that the yemeni or the whole the you have. now an activist who was violently escorted out of a u.s.
10:25 am
senate hearing that detained on wednesday has now been released side because seventy nine year old cia veteran ray mcgovern showed the bruises he claimed were caused by the security offices he was among a group which interrupted the session to the nines the controversial nominee of cia chief. was. resisting many respects. to. stop her i mean are you. following this incident ray mcgovern was charged with resisting arrest and disrupting congress explained why he decided to speak out against the appointment of the new cia director. nobody's a hero you know what we try to do is to be patriots now as an army officer first and then as a government employee with the cia i took just one solemn oath ok that was just for
10:26 am
to defend the constitution the united states against all enemies foreign and domestic now i've checked actually i have checked with lawyers does that hold. and is the only all sweetie it doesn't always have an expiration date but guess what it does. now us democrat lawmakers have released thousands of social media ads with alleged links to russia in a bid to explain how the kremlin was supposedly seeking to sow discord in america during the twenty sixteen presidential election but i guess they have now cast a critical eye over the commercials here it is the panacea to all your doubts russian meddling exposed three thousand five hundred and nineteen ads on facebook posted by russia allegedly say us democrats the russian social media campaign was designed to further the broader criminal ject of sowing discord
10:27 am
in the u.s. by inflaming passions on a range of divisive issues the point of these ads they say was to divide americans but you take a closer look and the real takeaway is russia really really sucks at meddling take this ad the for the african-american civil rights movement zero clicks zero impressions meaning no one ever saw it and that's real poor interfering right there but next now here's a surprise a blue lives matter post black versus blue sea by a grand total of no one all right paul show so far but how about this one and i. god for muslims it says we believe in individual liberty in the free market take heart liberty will prevail the cat g.'s it appears as if posted by a group defending the second amendment the right to bear arms and there are
10:28 am
literally hundreds of such groups and facebook alone ok ok let's think something truly divisive to meek across a black doctor felt humiliated when don't the airlines flight attendants refused to believe that she was a qualified physician now that's allegedly intended to stir tensions to tear americans apart except that's exactly how it was reported in the us media is responding to a viral facebook post from an african american doctor who says she was discriminated against on a flight she says when a flight attendant yelled for a physician on board she raised her hand but it was rejected you know how much the russians spent in this one hundred thousand dollars huge sum right it's roughly zero point zero zero zero one percent of what trump spent on his campaign so what's the takeaway russia is really bad at meddling some of those
10:29 am
ads were never seen by anyone and others were copy pasted from mainstream media and that's if you believe that these were russian ads the only thing these ads prove is russia will never ever be as good as us media a dividing america. not outgassed he of there you watching r t international more news now from. the war hawks telling you on the idea that dropping bombs brings police to the chicken hawks forcing you to fight the battle is going. to stop to try to tell you that will be gossip and tabloid bias file for the most important news today. off the bat doesn't tell you on the cool enough to buy your product.
10:30 am
all the hawks that we along with all the one. there are a lot of assumptions and current. in the deterrence is based on. historically actually it's been proven wrong no doubt many accidents. many judgments almost that. nuclear war. will go twenty eight team coverage we've signed one of the greatest goalkeepers of all children but there was one more question and by the way who's going to be our coach. you guys i know you are nervous he's a huge star and a huge amount of pressure come after you have to go to the center of the pole with you and will solo the great kid.
