this device is comprised of a piece of cloth which needs to be soaked throughout with gasoline or diesel that would burn for longer because i cause as large scale fires on territories occupied in one nine hundred forty 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 us ready still move its embassy to jerusalem on monday protests are only likely to intensify that the un has warned of potential escalation and i'm particularly worried about to be becoming this with the u.s. embassy move through jerusalem on monday and with the planned protests and goes home take this opportunity again to call on israel to be very careful and calibrate
5:05 pm
of the code uses force in addressing the protesters and goes but also call on us and believers of the protests in gaza to prevent friction to prevent situations in which provoke issues can happen in the diplomatic switch to jerusalem was first announced last year it sparked deadly protests in palestine as well as condemnation across the globe that is he has long been a area of contention it's regarded a holy site by 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. was was.
5:06 pm
was was. should europe a nothing more than a quote a vassal to america that's the question that was posed by a senior french minister comes as anger is running high in europe following donald trump's decision to ditch the run euclidian bloc those who do the europe needs to create new systems that will defend its interests what do we want to be bustles that would abate 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 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 . strong words from the french finance minister there but he isn't the only one in
5:07 pm
europe that's been vocal in their criticism of donald trump over the decision to pull the united states out of the iran 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 this i think it's not right to unilaterally cancel a deal that was agreed upon that was unanimously approved in the u.n. security council that diminishes come from international order. and it was money if we always say that if we don't like a. new international order that everyone will do what they feel that that's bad news for the one it. that 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 on thursday also he said
5:08 pm
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 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 e.u. would stick to theirs is the it's not a bilateral treaty it's
5:09 pm
a un security council resolution and it belongs to the anti-war and the consequence of that is that no single country along and destroyed a deal but can't undo the deal because all the others stay in tough to say whether this is confidence or just blind optimism from is a 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 sanction so you know it was to do with the insight and also what the reaction to that would be from the u.s. side as well. the head of the international atomic energy agency's inspection team suddenly resigned friday that's according to a statement from the global nuclear watchdog toto of argentina will be temporarily replaced by the acting director of the office of verification in iran the group
5:10 pm
inspecting tehran's nuclear facilities the official who resigned had been in office since twenty thirteen and played a key role in putting together the around nuclear deal ok let's get analysis on this now from cover for c.r.-v. was a former advisor to iran's nuclear negotiating team. kevin just wondering whether we should be reading much into this or not is this significant what do you make of this sudden resignation. well i'm not privy to information for the grounds for which he resigned nonetheless there's a history of bullying powers trying to influence their i and you know there's been some allegations in the past of improper disclosure of nations the information to other countries and manipulation of the n.c.s. findings with certain fortunately agents is erected in iran mr monarch has given
5:11 pm
a complete cleaning bill of health to iran by praising it in various strong terms and saying that you know iraq iran is in full compliance and cooperating with one of the most robust very few cajuns systems in the what is actually the most robust and so given the fact that there are i have been put in charge or monitoring iran is complex i am spared the u.n. resolution two two three one. the other side being the u.s. of course. really lacks legitimacy for what happened and i really sense a broadening sense of crisis in washington because they did not anticipate this very a strong european backlash backlash by the u.n. secretary general and not the head of the i.a.e.a. and they miscalculated iran's reaction as well and iran are showing a great deal of prudence and you know taking the legal or steps by campaigning
5:12 pm
against the u.s. in the. internal mechanism of the j. c.p.o. and and so on so while i don't know. you know what led to this resignation the fact that you have an acting deputy director who was on the ground in iran and now can go to moscow along with mr armani was there meeting with president putin on monday. to give ear full at current hour we ron's compliance with all the necessary details and this is very important with respect to what i consider to be the european counter a strategy given the fact that they have a meeting in ball gary on may seventeenth where it is expected that they will come up with a very stronger statement in support of the. just in general terms about the iran nuclear deal donald trump or said that he wants to make another deal with iran that
5:13 pm
he says would actually be better for the country is that possible absolutely in mr trump burn the bridge with iran he has zero career credibility with the iranian people and we have seen see. protesters in iran burning his every g. and you know making fun of him and this absolute disgust in iran with the u.s. betrayal of its promise to the rainy and people and in the people feel very angry frustrated and feel backstab by the americans and so you know all these hogwash by the wife was trying to justify this policy there's been a major policy of blood and there is not going to wash with anyone particularly with the iranian people and the government and thanks for your time i guess cover for c.r.-v. former advisor to iran's nuclear negotiation team. just days after the u.s.
5:14 pm
pulled out of the deal washington imposed a new round of sanctions they were against several iranian individuals and also against companies but the new measures threaten to put the screws on european companies doing business with iran as well on external bushell reports. so sanctions are back iran probably doesn't care much it's had them in one shape or other for for decades washington shooting itself and our allies in the food surely not. the youth and 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 dollars 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
5:15 pm
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 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
5:16 pm
here we have the entire nature of the transatlantic alliance of the order for the sham that 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 utopian satellites and sure this 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 too just weeks after trump's election boeing toasted a seventeen billion dollars deal for eighty u.s.
5:17 pm
built jetliners to iran air but when bragged about it in line with trump's favorite mantra i will take jobs back. to 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. aerospace value stream for the food course of deliveries jobs jobs jobs no more 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 play makers suing china's all over iran like a rash huge energy deals you railroads and lending cold hard cash iran has a strategy. of alliance with the russians and the
5:18 pm
chinese if. the europeans leave if. american companies leave what happens is that iran is going to substitute the u.s. with russia and china anger has been vented on the streets of tehran a stance and turned out to denounce president terms decision to tear up their own nuclear deal but. of course. was. well following washington's criticism a round fired back saying the u.s. itself has never fulfilled its commitments under the agreement that was struck three years ago host of arties going underground show as she returns to discuss this with lord arkham out of rather i'm a former member of the u.k. parliamentary group for iran you can watch the full interview on going underground
5:19 pm
this saturday. i don't think america would 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. all the interest of the western world lie right there in the straits. then the 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 costing doubt on the woods coming from london paris berlin brussels saying no no we don't like what donald trump well look i seen this statement from e.u. . they are very strong that we need to act like
5:20 pm
a superpower twenty seven twenty eight countries whether it is economic military yes. 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 they were. there's a battle brewing between the trump of ministration and congress over funding of the controversial syrian activist group the white helmets will have the full story after this break. claims he's the master of the deal but when it comes to iran it is the art of no deal claims he has made america safer a dubious claim closer to the truth is probably attempted force regime change. history during
5:21 pm
a crisis like in two thousand where they credited. bailed out of the state of the debtors and going back even to build times as the debtors they get bailed out not the creditors but because of the fascism the neo fascism that listed leni like neo fascism between the bankers on wall street and the federal government fused together a. product daisy chain of incest and financial shenanigans the creditors were bailed out and what do they do with all the money they inflated the bubble even higher so now i've got s. and p. hitting the all time highs but the more ality and the ethics of the country and the wealth and income gap nosedive. welcome back congressman is us the trumpet ministration to resume its funding of the controversial syrian activist group the want helmets reports of washington
5:22 pm
cutting money to the group emerged a week ago the new confirmation as you have been issued. been dug deeper. 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 thing including through the white house. now already the united states has provided the white house 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.
5:23 pm
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 which 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 didn't know why the accusation that they cooperate with the extremist groups now there were white helmets of always claimed 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 this would serve the end of to help change conditions on the ground in syria so we shall see
5:24 pm
exactly what change he is referring to. julian the son's is reportedly facing need limitations that include bans on phone calls and even visitors and that's according to wiki leaks the whistleblowing group that he co-founded the restrictions come as his fate is being negotiated by the u.k. and ecuador and all thirty's. his internet access is still blocked we have had talks who are interested in solving this issue this time she is aware that ecuador is exhausting all after his break diplomatic means in march of songes internet use was restricted after he tweeted criticism of the u.k.'s response to the poisoning of sergei and do this 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 the song has been visited by many friends celebrity guest and the media but it looks like in a longer has that option on the table human rights activist peter tatchell says the

new restrictions on the make life worse than in 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 citizenship yet those riots 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. science 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 songes always remain somewhat upbeat about his life inside the embassy so we've taken

the nominee making incriminating evidence on gina hasbro secret so that the american people couldn't see on t.v. that she was indeed the torture in chief of al no shiri in thailand 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 ok thanks staying with the same thing he went on to international latest news updates coming your way in health and l. . it's. her. outlook. that. was. becoming a. little
