palestinian officials say that one person has been killed as great march of pre-term protest along the gaza border with israel continued friday as the u.s. prepares to controversially move its israeli embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem on monday. must protest in around follows president trump decision to pull out of the iran nuclear deal he's also facing mounting criticism over the move but only from opponents in the u.s. but also european allies. and i think it's not right to unilaterally cancel a deal that was agreed upon that was now mostly approved in the u.n. security council that diminishes company in the international order what do we want to be. blinded to what americans tell them or do we want europeans to say we have

the economic interests. coming up later this hour we will speak to a veteran cia analyst who was aggressively manhandled and detained after speaking out against the confirmation of the new cia director. good evening to you my name's neil harvey you're watching r.t. international. anti israel demonstrations on the gaza border are continuing this part of the palestinian so-called great march of return one person has been killed and around fifty wounded according to palestinian officials over the last six weeks the movements reportedly left almost fifty palestinians dead and thousands wounded as israeli forces dispersed crowds along that border fence a local correspondent was on the ground throughout the day. this is an injury i think it's in the stomach just right now from the live ammunition as the israeli

soldiers israeli snipers targeted this us protester. who was. known as the do good in the little. israeli forces are fighting their gas again and as you see they're trying to disperse all these protesters suddenly out of nowhere that we owe all we feel in here is that tear gas as you see there they're throwing tear gas and trying to you guys and very very far away parts of the back of the march everyone is surrounded with tear gas they're surrounding home of the join in this and now everyone within gaza all they're trying to do is disperse all of these protesters they have been firing here got a sense of warning in a very very intensive way it's getting that darker and there are still israelis

night kristie shouldn't have believed left in along the fence and you can hold to see at least two thousand palestinian protesters still on the fence marching on the fence and burning tires to rid the vision of these snipers so talking to the organizing committee of the great march of return they said that expecting at least one million palestinian protesters on the fourteenth of may where it's going to be from the opening of the u.s. embassy in jerusalem what's going to happen on the fourteenth and the fifteenth is going to be very big the palestinians are saying that tensions are going to escalate with the palestinians have also recently started resulting to a new form of violent protest by attaching follow bombs to cause some flying them over the border fence into israeli territory we spoke to some of the activists that . the. device is comprised of a piece of cloth which needs to be served throughout with gasoline or diesel that

would burn for longer because i cause as large scale fires on territories occupied in one thousand nine hundred eighty eight. the israeli snipers warned that they would fire upon anyone that launches a kite but we're not afraid of their bullets the shells or the whole of israel today we're launching them and we're not afraid of them we want to set them on fire set them on fire on the land that they took from us and they're not returning the israeli 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 the un is now warning of potential escalation i'm particularly worried about to be in the coming days with the u.s. embassy move through jerusalem on monday and with the planned protest some girls won't take this opportunity again to call in israel to be very careful and

calibrated to the code uses force in addressing the protesters and goes on but also call on commerce and believers of the protests in gaza to prevent friction to prevent situations in which provoke issues can happen. the diplomatic switch to jerusalem was first announced last year it sparked deadly protests in palestine as well as condemnation across the globe the city's long been an area of contention it's regarded 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 was the terror.

that he. should europe in nothing more than a quote vassal to america that's the disturbing question posed by a senior french minister comes as anger runs high in europe following donald trump's decision to ditch the iran nuclear deal blockers who duty europe needs to create new systems that will defend its interests what do we want to be bustles that would have paid blindly to what americans tell them or do we want us europeans to say that we're having economic interests and we want to have economic relations with iran inside the brain work 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 . strong words from the french finance minister there but he isn't the only one in

europe that's been vocal in their criticism of donald trump over the decision to pull the united states out of the euro run nuclear deal angela merkel never want to give a press conference unless she really has to or she's actually issued two statements in as many days expressing her disappointment in donald trump's decision this is the latest that's a mistake and i think it's not right to unilaterally cancel a deal that was agreed upon that was not an unlovely approved in the security council that diminishes come from international order. and it came out of our own benson's money if we always say that if we don't. actually know you know international order that everyone will do what they feel that's bad news for the one it. it isn't just the german chancellor though that's coming out in making the statement she's presenting a united front along with the french president. he spoke of those they also he said

that no nation should have the right to be able to upset the global order and said that all countries have to respect international law no matter who they were in it is never good for us to break the laws that we ourselves helped to create and 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 have been criticizing donald trump's decision quite publicly whereas if we look to the european union what the reaction has been from brussels well we've heard from federica maka raney she's the e.u. her representative for foreign affairs that's pretty much the closest thing the e.u. has to a foreign minister she said that as far as the e.u. were called cerned the deal would be adhered to she said that your run was sticking to their side of the deal and that the you would stick to theirs is the it's not a bilateral treaty it's

a un security council resolution and it belongs to the entire world the consequence of that is that no single turn she along and destroy the deal but can't undo the deal because all the others stay in tough to say whether this is confidence so just blind optimism for ms marker really that she says that the european union will stick to their side of the deal we'll have to see if they do that how that is taken in washington because donald trump of course said that if any country was helping iran or that they could potentially trade sanctions you know i think you could see that you would be inside and also what the reaction to that would be from the u.s. side as well. georgia because one of its international affairs and defense spokesman for the france unbound party believes that this could be a make or break moment for the e.u. in its relations with washington. 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 of the boss sold. if did not show any independence here. nothing changes the reduced be a small region of the huge us empire but if they act as the it sounds that they will act which is good they will react and say that they will continue. to say women do with iran maybe it will be the very first step of of a true european in the pendants which just days after the us pulled out of the deal washington imposed a new round of sanctions against several reigning individuals and companies fears have been race that these new measures could target european companies as well as their iranian counterparts. anger is being vented on the streets of tehran as thousands turned out to denounce president trunk's decision to tear up the iran

nuclear deal but i think i. was. i. following washington's criticism around fired back saying the u.s. itself has never thought filled its commitments under the agreement struck three years ago the host of artie's going underground program actually returns he discussed this with the document of wimbledon a former member of the u.k. parliamentary group for iran you course the full interview in going underground on saturday. i don't think america would dare attack iran i frankly tell you this in my own opinion because even though iran doesn't have the capability of hitting back on the united states but iran has the capability of destroying the world's economy because if they just start hitting the waters where all the ships all the oil where

all the interest of the western world lies right there in the straits. then there will be difficult news think there's some truth to what president rouhani of iran says that he says the e.u. does not have the capacity to be a global player casting doubt on the words coming from london paris berlin brussels saying no no we don't like what donald trump well look i've seen the statement from e.u. . they are very strong that we need to act like a superpower twenty seven twenty eight countries whether it is economic military we are yes. we are allies with the united states but if the united states doesn't want to adhere to international treaties then we need to stand up i don't think there were. a congressman has asked the trump of ministration

to resume its funding of the controversial syrian activist group the white helmets reports of washington cutting money to the group emerged a week ago although no confirmation as he had been issued on the scale of more pain dug deeper into the story. well ed royce from the foreign affairs committee of the u.s. congress he has met with the white helmets on many occasions with other politicians he's been photographed with them he's a big supporter of the white helmets and now he's calling for their funding to be immediately restored we cannot abandon the region we must work with the news and use over to the diplomacy including financial pressure and u.s. assistance to change conditions on the ground the administration should start by immediately reviewing stability and funding including through the white house. now already the united states has provided the white house wants with over thirty two million dollars from the u.s. a id now they also receive funding from various european governments as well as governments throughout the middle east and when it was announced that their funding

would be cut there were offers from the united kingdom to fill the gap for the u.k. to provide funding of their own to actually fill up that gap and make up for the loss of funding from the united states they've actually had a close tie with the united kingdom for a long time in fact the white house were organized by a former member of m i six they have faced for a long time accusations of having ties with extremist groups as well as the fact that they only operate in rebel held territories that they deny the accusation that they cooperate with the extremist groups now the recent white helmets of always claim that they're an impartial organization we've actually heard some very strong criticism cism of them coming from russia and syria and the governments of russia and syria have gone as far as to point out that it appears that a number of their videos have actually been staged in order to effectively serve kind of talking points against the syrian government now ed royce has come forward and called for their funding to be immediately restored and he said that this would

serve the end of to help change conditions on the ground in syria so we shall see exactly what change he is referring to. julian assange is reportedly facing new limitations that include bans on phone calls and even visit his now this is according to wiki leaks the whistleblowing group he co-founded the restrictions come as his fate is being negotiated by u.k. and ecuadorian authorities. his internet access is still blocked we have had tanks who are interested in solving this issue is songes aware that ecuador is exhausting all after his break diplomatic means in march songes internet use was restricted after he'd tweeted criticism of the u.k.'s response to the poisoning of sergei and yulia script it's been almost six years since the wiki leaks founder had to seek asylum in the ecuadorian embassy in london during that time assigned has been visited by many friends celebrity guests and the media but it looks like now he

doesn't have that option on the table human rights activist peter tatchell says that the new restrictions make life worse than the prison ecuador granted political asylum it granted him a safe haven in london embassy and it granted him citizenship with all the rights that go with the ship yet those rights have now been unilaterally abrogated by the ecuadorian government and is affectively being held incommunicado he can't communicate with the outside world and the outside world cannot communicate with him that is are more draconian restriction than even terrorists or rapists experience in prison they do have a right to communicate and does not so this is a very very backward step which goes quite clearly against ecuador's own guarantee of human rights and free expression. however science has

always remained upbeat about his life inside the embassy so we've taken a final look at what the whistleblower might be getting up to despite his possible new limitations.

he was violently score to interview a senate hearing and detained on wednesday has now been released side the court seventy nine year old cia veteran ray mcgovern showed the bruises he claims were caused by the security officers he was among a group which interrupted the session to denounce the controversial nominee for cia chief gina has. caused. this. many respects. to. stop her coming out you. can speak now to the money just sore in the video footage the former cia analyst mcgovern good to see you looking well and hopefully we just saw the video it looks pretty aggressive wrestled to the ground. a very unpleasant experience i'm sure but

i have to say you went in you disrupted this official hearing you must have been anticipating something along those lines in terms of you being escorted out. or you. no neal it's very interesting this hearing started in a most unusual way with the chair saying this pardon i can't wear my glasses very well because as you could see they're twisted out of shape but what he said was this. this is an open hearing and it will be a close section those people who want to say something extra do it fast do it quickly and then leave. so i noted that i take copious notes wherever i go especially at hearings like this and i put it on the top and i said well now maybe maybe this is an invitation to rick of make a remark all do it quickly and then i'll go well as you can see from the footage i

did it as quick as he could but then i was not permitted to go i was assaulted as you can see by four and five capitol police. and you know the footage speaks to itself so the hearing was in many many respects a charade the people running the hearing and specially chairman richard burr are known to be like this with the cia the first thing that should byrd did when he became chair in early two thousand and fifteen was to recall all the copies of the four year study that that committee the senate intelligence committee had made on the basis of cia original documents about cia torture and it was gruesome and that's why he wanted all the copies back and that was a tip off as to how close these are not oversight committees these are don't

overlook committees they're joined at the hip with the intelligence services ok i want to just show for all of you is a clip told. paving let's have a quick look and listen. my moral compass is strong i would not allow the cia to undertake activity then i thought was immoral even if it was technically legal i would absolutely not permit it. so i suppose this is the crux of the matter she denies undertaking and the immoral actions as i understand correctly from wrong there isn't proof that she was involved in questionable activities why is it that you were there were other activists than are plenty of people who opposed the why did they feel so strongly about she shouldn't be in this position. time out. i have to correct you there is evidence that she directly supervised the waterboarding and other torture techniques of alice shiri

a detainee in thailand and that was actually what i picked up on when i approached the the the opportunity to speak so it's not as though this is in the subjective mood and that's what bothered me and senator wyden said now ms haskell were you in charge of the interrogation the waterboarding of all machinery in thailand where you personally in charge and she said well senator i appreciate the question but we'll have to take that into closed session because it's secret now who made that secret. it was china has ball so the prospect of gina has been the nominee making incriminating evidence on gina has bull secret so that the american people could see on t.v. that she was indeed the torture in chief of al no shiri in thailand and make it go

to the close session that was too much and that's why i got up and i said that i said senator wyden is entitled to a direct to an honest answer on that question you know what it is you have the documents it is it is not really kosher it is not really acceptable for you to succumb to refer to as a closed session you should really make that available because even if she says torture was legal it wasn't legal there's not an authority in the world except for those foley years those false lawyers. though gonzales and all those people who made made the case that torture for the first time in history at least since the inquisition was considered illegal it's not considered legal and the reason torture is wrong is not because. is there a law as it gets that please understand there are laws against that because it's just plain wrong ok human beings don't do those kinds of things to other human

beings. amnesty international several democratic senators as well publicly opposed the nomination of you for being on your own unless they want possible involvement in the torture program to be declassified and investigated so what they were sweeping into the back of face when you would. you know you know asking for that information to be to be discussed in public. the organizations that was not made public to will it happen. it won't happen and there are lots of examples of why it won't happen here's trump saying we're finally because of the law going and really going to reveal all the information we have about the kennedy assassination he says that in the morning and the afternoon he says the f.b.i. and the cia say we can't reveal that so maybe six months from now will will will take hold of a look at it there are all kinds of recent examples and distant examples where the cia and the f.b.i. and others say no we can't do that and the administration about this now obama was

the worst of them ok when this senate intelligence committee report for years in the making finally was redacted and made safe for publication he tried all the mechanisms he had to prevent it and that's when dianne feinstein said look mr president if you don't publish this we're going to read it from the floor mark yudof losses is reelection bid is nothing to lose is going to read the torture report from the floor so you've got a choice mr obama is that we read it from the for you release that document he released it in early december two thousand and fourteen it is heinous and if you see all these blackouts you'll see gina has supposed name underneath some of those blackouts. i'll say once again though you have. roughly manhandled so i i'm sure was in the prison experience appreciate taking the time to come and speak to us that all of us get your side of the story former cia analyst ray mcgovern thank you

. and two other news england football officials say that they are pleased with what they've seen in terms of security preparations for this summer's football world cup in russia they were questioned in the u.k. parliament with m.p.'s raising concerns for the safety of fans who were traveling to the event. or security team have been impressed with what they've seen on the ground and russia simply. puts me all the organizations went to the confederations cup last year and actually i think you know encourage all of the small claims of do we feel we feel we have the right support we need from from the official channels i think it's in from the face perspective we would say yes we do. meanwhile english media headlines seem intent on scaring off fans from traveling to russia this summer or to discuss this story in more detail down joined on the line by sports journalist for the sunday times that's john goodbody joins me. ok john at

the parliamentary hearings. it's been said by some people that love the m.p.'s were asking provocative questions that they seemed to want some fear mongering to come out of this would you agree with that and if so why. not entirely i think they were entitled to raves the fact that the twenty sixteen european championship in frumps that a group of strong russian hooligans attacked the english fans in a. subsequent words of a lot of roff in which he applauded the russian hooligans didn't really help in pushing me entire episode into context and therefore what i think the piece for concerned about

was that some of that attitude by a small number of russian football supporters might carry through to the world cup which of course is being held or next month in russia ok this is took a moment now to listen to a short clip it's from a recent i.t.v. documentary on the world cup by chemical weapons huge political tension i didn't fears over russian and it's left many england fans who were thinking of going to russia rather concerned about making the trip. so as it is a few issues thrown into gether their kind of packaging of some big recent news stories in involving russia is it really relevant to be bundling them in when you're talking about a sports event. well you have to realize that this sort of coverage

by the british media is commonplace before all the european football championships and world cups and i've been covering international football for more than fifty years in the last few years for instance when we had the world cup in brazil four years ago there were two there were stories about how the . members of the for velo as the deprived areas of brazil would be attacking meaningless fans we had those stories we had the stories in twenty twelve when it was the european football championship were staged in the ukraine and poland that there would be huge problems then and going back of course when the english found themselves have been at fault and that of use to be a lot of those occasions then. there were stories about them and how they would be

. policed and. something this is being come very commonplace in the in the english and the british media what you just talked about there john why does it happen in any line she said it happens in every major sports event particularly the world cup is it just because it sells is it this kind of tabloid approach that is an amp of aiding old media it sells whether or not it's actually true let's just print it all or broadcast it well sometimes it can be true and there's no doubt there are people. in russia who remember those occasions two years ago and would like to repeat them i am. optimistic i will say that russia for several reasons will stage this world cup success.
