6:04 pm
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 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 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 to move its embassy to jerusalem on monday protest the likely to intensify in fact the un has warned 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 a planned protest some girls won't take this opportunity again to call in israel to
6:05 pm
be very careful and calibrated to go with use of force in addressing the protesters and goes on but also call on hamas leaders 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 round the world the city's long been an area of contention it's regarded as a holy site by several religions and whether israel claims it as its capital. i have determined that it is time to officially recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel but that was. the last. i. was not the first.
6:06 pm
was i was the. should here of be nothing more than a quote to vassal to america that's the question posed by a senior french minister comes as anger runs high in europe following donald trump's this isn't to ditch the iran nuclear deal. block those who do the europeans to create new systems that will defend its interests what do we want to be bustles now what a baby blinded 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
6:07 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 any international order. and it. is money if we always say that if we don't like it then the army can actually you know international order that everyone will do what they feel that's bad news for the what. it is 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
6:08 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 that are violent 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 concerned 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 this deal is not a bilateral treaty it's
6:09 pm
a un security council resolution and it belongs to the entire world the consequence of that is that no single country along and destroyed a deal can undo the deal because all the others stay in tough to say whether this is confidence or just blind optimism for ms marker really that she says that the european union will stick to their side of the deal will 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 face sanctions that you know. what happens to you would be in sight 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 inspections team suddenly resigned on friday according to a statement from the global nuclear watchdog turn of arginine to will be temporarily replaced by the acting director of the office of verification in iran
6:10 pm
and i.a.e.a. group inspecting tehran's nuclear facilities the official who resigned has been in office since twenty thirteen and played a key role in putting together the iran nuclear deal. so it is one of its international affairs and defense spokesman for the france unbowed party believes that this could be a make or break moment for the e.u. in its relations with washington. when 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 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 which is good they will react and say that they will continue and this is a woman who with iran maybe it will be the very first step of of
6:11 pm
a true european in attendance. just days after the us pulled out of the deal washington imposed a new round of sanctions against several rein in individuals and also companies that these new measures threaten to put the screws on european companies doing business with tehran as well arty's daniel bushell reports so sanctions 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 foot surely not. the youth and way over ten billion euro of 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
6:12 pm
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 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
6:13 pm
here we have the entire nature of the transatlantic alliance of the order for the show 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 all 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
6:14 pm
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. 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 the liberties 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 playmaker. china's all over iran like a rash huge energy deals you railroads and in cold hard cash iran has a strategy. of alliance with the russians and the
6:15 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 is prevented on the streets of tehran astounds and turned out to denounce president trump decision to tear up the iran nuclear deal. following washington's criticism around fired back saying the u.s. itself has never fulfilled its commitments under the agreement struck three years ago of arties going underground i should return to discuss this with low doc mother of rather i'm a former member of the u.k. parliamentary group for iran you can watch the full interview on going underground
6:16 pm
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 strait. 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 because seeing doubt on the woods coming from london paris berlin the 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
6:17 pm
a superpower twenty seven twenty eight countries whether it is economic military yes. we are 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 trumpet ministration and congress over funding of the controversial syrian activists screw the white helmets we'll explain after the break.
6:18 pm
the iran nuclear deal was once seen as a major achievement of american diplomacy but that's no longer the case donald trump's decision to pull out of the deal has reopened a major international problem and left allies betrayed and bursaries confused how should the world. come back 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
6:19 pm
money to the group emerged a week ago although no confirmation as yet been issued more 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 through 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. to provide funding of their own to actually fill up that gap and make up for the
6:20 pm
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 that's 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 real 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. to his sons is
6:21 pm
reported to facing new limitations that include bans on phone calls and even visit his 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 ecuador in north or attacks. his internet access is still blocked we have had tanks who are interested in solving this issue and songes aware that ecuador is exhausting all after his break diplomatic means in march songes internet use was restricted have to he tweeted criticism of the u.k.'s response to the poisoning of sergei and yulia scruple it's been almost six years since the wiki leaks founder had to seek asylum in the ecuadorian embassy in london during that time a son just been visited by many friends celebrity guest and the media but it looks like he no longer has that option on the table human rights activist peter tatchell says the new restrictions on the songs make life worse than prison ecuador granted
6:22 pm
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 and 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 the song says always remained upbeat about his life inside the embassy so we've taken a look at what the whistleblower could still do with the few items in his
6:23 pm
possession. and he was finally school to down to the u.s. senate hearing and detained on wednesday has now been released outside the court seventy nine year old cia veteran ray mcgovern showed the bruises he claimed to
6:24 pm
cause by security offices he was among the group which interrupted the session to denounce the controversial nominee for cia chief gina house but. was. resisting. any racetracks. to. stop her i mean. we spoke to the man who you just saw in that footage former cia officer ray mcgovern who believes that the whole hearing was a charade. this hearing started in a most unusual way with the chair saying this and it pardon i can't wear my glasses very well because as you could see their twisted out of shape but what he said was this. this is an open hearing and as be a close election those people who want to say something extra do it fast. so i noted that i take copious notes wherever i go
6:25 pm
especially at hearings like this and i put it on the top that i said well now maybe maybe this is an invitation to rake of make a remark although it quickly and then i'll go the hearing was in many many respects a charade the people running the hearing especially chairman richard burr are known to be like this with the cia 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 full so the prospect of gina has been the nominee making incriminating evidence on gina has full secret
6:26 pm
so that the american people couldn't see on t.v. that she was indeed the torture in chief of al near 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. was a blow at chelsea manning says that physical abuse of activists is quickly becoming the new normal. we're seeing you know protesters in numerous places all across the country from california to new york to north carolina where they're facing charges and they're facing you know felony counts often and getting brutally and be brutalized by the police both also could see people being you know individuals being manhandled by the police and this is not new but it's certainly becoming more aggressive more assertive and we need to put a stop to. that the training in this saving your international. bringing the very

latest headlines that often. it's. just. kind of financial survival but it was about money laundering first visit this cash in the three different. oh good that's a good start well we have our three banks all set up here maybe something in your something in america something overseas or cayman island it will pull these banks

6:29 pm
born now and i'm extremely bored education the new global economic war. hello and welcome to cross talk for all things considered i'm peter lavelle donald trump claims he's the master of the deal but when it comes to iran it is the art of no deal the reasons the american president withdrew from the nuclear deal to range from allies in distant from ation to outright political propaganda trump claims he has made america safer a dubious claim closer to the truth this probably attempted to force regime change in iran.
6:30 pm
crosstalk in the iran deal i'm joined by my guest mohammad marandi and to rand he's an associate professor at the university of to run in london we have adel darwish he's a political commentator and author of the book the edge of war and in pittsburgh we have. the he is our partner ed global growth advisors international strategic consultancy group based in new york are gentlemen cross-like rules in effect that means. you can jump in anytime you want and i always appreciate it mohamed let me go to you to iran since you know donald trump's obsession with your country i watched live the live stream on r t his reasons if they can be called reasons for withdrawing from the from the deal and as i said in the introduction it was a mixture of misinformation disinformation and propaganda i think that entire documentary series could actually be made on that single speech so i want to skip ahead.
