fossils that would have paid. us europeans to say economic interests. and we speak to a veteran cia analyst who was aggressively manhandled and detained after speaking out against the confirmation of the woman to be cia director. our broadcasting live direct from our studios in moscow this is our team international thomas certainly glad to have you with us. israeli demonstrations along the gaza border are continuing as part of the palestinians so-called great march of return one person has been killed and around fifty wounded according to palestinian officials now over the last six weeks the movement has reportedly left almost fifty palestinians dead and thousands wounded as israeli forces disperse crowds along the border fence

a local correspondent was on the ground throughout the day for us. 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 at us protester. who. was. known as the so there you go to the little. league. but 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 young guys they're surrounding our home of the journalists and now everyone within gaza all they're trying to do is disperse all of these protesters they have been fined here got a sense of warning in a very very intensive way. it's

getting that darker and there are still phrases like this we shouldn't have to leave lifting along the fence and you can also do seat at least two thousand palestinian protesters still on the fence and marching on the fence and burning tires of larry division of these nine prison. so talking to the organizing committee of the great march of return they said the clerk expecting at least one million palestinian protesters on the fourteenth of may where it's going to be 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 people. palestinians have also recently started resorting to a new form of violent protest attaching firebombs to kites and flying them over the

border fence into israeli held territory. we spoke to some of the activists. this device is comprised of a piece of cloth which needs to be sucked throughout with gasoline or diesel so it would burn for longer because i cause as large scale fines 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 the 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 then 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 the as the us gets ready to move its embassy to jerusalem on monday protests are likely to intensify and the un is warning of further escalation and i'm particularly worried about today 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 be very careful in calibrated to code uses force in addressing the protesters and goes but also call on. leaders 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 sparking deadly protests in palestine as well as condemnation across the globe the city has long been a point of contention is regarded as a holy site by several legends 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 was. should europe would be nothing more than a quote vassal to america that is the disturbing question posed by a senior french minister and comes as anger runs high in europe's europe following trumps a decision 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 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 financing 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 mistake 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 confidence in the international order and. if we always say that if we don't like things and we can achieve a new international order everyone will do what they feel that's bad news for the

world but 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 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 of being 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 rainy 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's 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 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 for ms mockery any 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 face sanctions so keeping an eye to see on what happens from the european side and also what the reaction to that would be from the u.s. side as well. the head of the international atomic energy agency inspections team

suddenly resigned on friday according to a statement from the global nuclear watchdog taro. will be temporarily replaced by the acting director of the office of verification in iran and i eighty a group inspecting tehran's nuclear facilities i mean fishel who resigned and been in office since two thousand and thirteen and played a key role in putting together the iran nuclear deal. georgie cosmonaut of each international affairs and defense spokesman for the france bowed of party believes that this could be a make or break moment for the e.u. and its relations with washington. macro and micro where in washington they said that they would try to 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 a true european in attendance just days after the u.s. pulled out of the deal washington imposed a new round of sanctions against several iranian individuals and companies but these new measures threaten to put the screws on european companies doing business with iran as well as artie'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 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 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 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 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 instituting equal partners and friends successive european governments have actually claimed it is indeed their relationship between i hate you monica behave math washington and its european satellites and sure this has all kinds of ramifications certainly more than economic ramifications for those companies so long as it helps the us economy right trumps

a 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. built jetliners to iran 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. aerospace value stream for the food course of the liveries 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 playmakers suhoor 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 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 are their outrage was palpable on the streets of tehran as thousands turned out to denounce president trump's decision to tear up the iranian nuclear deal but. of course. was.

following washington's criticism iran fired back saying that the us itself has never fulfilled its commitments under the agreement struck three years ago the host of artes going underground off. discussed this with lord rotterdam a former member of the u.k. parliamentary group for iran and you can watch the full interview on going underground this saturday but here's a quick text. 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 where all the interest of the western world lies right there in the straits.

how. difficult do you 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 the 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. right while tensions have escalated following president terms withdrawal from the nuclear deal with iran the u.s. says it wants to repair relations with a different adversary secretary of state on peo has paid

a brief visit to north korea for the second time where he met the country's foreign minister. and finalized the details of the upcoming june twelfth summit between kim jong un and donald trump he also secured the release of three americans are pretty imprisoned in the country some are saying that the results of his visit pompei or expressed hope north korea would emerge as a close partner of the united states he also promised the u.s. would provide the country with economic help kim jong un gives up. clear weapons. discuss this now we can cross live to human rights attorney eric eric thanks for being with us here on our international. is certainly it's been an interesting thing to watch this all play out my pump says he wants north korea as a close partner not and to me. but this all comes amidst a backdrop of what's happening in iran do you think there's any logic to the u.s.

quitting the iran nuclear deal and then trying to prepare negotiate whatever you want to say a similar agreement with pyongyang it doesn't seem that there's. a lot of. consistency there i guess that's the word i'm looking for. yeah there's a lot of problems that we face with the credibility of the united states under those circumstances can we made deals whether it's the paris climate deal that every other country in the world has signed whether it's the around nuclear deal these types of agreements have to be bound by the word of the united states or who's going to enter those agreements what's the message are we sending to north korea about the durability of an agreement that we enter with them under such circumstances and so continually the united states is sinking further and further from international customary legal norms in references to treaties and agreements

and revoking then pulling out of them despite the fact that they've been negotiated by a multitude of countries and so i'm sure it gives the north koreans a little bit of pause coming in as to how do we see your compliance going forward we talk a lot about the north koreans compliance but really under these circumstances i think we're going in a little shaky now eric pump a zero also promise the u.s. would help the north to boost its economy on par with south korea if it gives up its nuclear weapons south korea i mean that's a pretty tall order i mean i don't even know if well we can talk about that forever but do you think that that's just enough to entice kim jong un to disarm or will he be looking for more from the u.s. side i mean that's a lot. i think this is ministration tends to make very grandiose statements which sometimes have no foundation in fact that's what it's

becoming known known for around the world and that's sad but so what does that mean and what are you offering and go in with a concrete offer and you can entice people to do some of that i mean part of that this administration has abandoned notions of human rights as a basis for international relations they express that through their state department so in reality i guess it's not too surprising but if we look at what could come out of this which is some peace and denuclearization the question that we're going to go in to these talks with are and several in and one that's very important is what are the preconditions what are you willing to lay down your weapon in exchange for a future peace or are we willing to create a peace structure in korea where we end the korean war finally we have

a permanent peace treaty we make assurances and then they agree to verify overall breaking down of their nuclear program but if we go in with the attitude that bolton and some other people have had that you have to surrender those weapons we have to have those done before peace then i think it could fall apart and that would be sad considering the powerful self-determination and to the east of the north in the south right now. and here's and you bring up a good point about ending the korean war finally i mean that's one of the reasons why american troops are there on the d.m.z. because the war still technically ongoing president trump has said that pulling those troops out of south korea u.s. troops that is is not on the table in his upcoming summit with kim do you expect that to be major stumbling block to convincing north korea to give up its arsenal.

i'm not sure that north korea will require all u.s. troops to leave the insula although the us signed an agreement in the arm assists in one nine hundred fifty three agreeing to do just that i think that there's a recognition in this day and age of the united states and its hundreds and hundreds of military bases across the planet that this goes on i think the question is what will the militarization of the korean peninsula look like will it be just denuclearization or will there be some demilitarization on the peninsula i mean right now the us is building kampung three as one of the lot as the largest military base on the planet about forty miles south of seoul and in that her you know looks like the u.s. is coming in to stay so i really think it's going to be incumbent upon the south to negotiate with the u.s.

what its role will be as far as troops on the peninsula how much they really add to safety and security and can the south then decide to limit american troops going forward i see more of the trump talks as a peace treaty and an opportunity for the steps for denuclearization and verification to be laid out but i would hope that is south korea would have the autonomy to decide whether it wants to be essentially occupied with thirty thousand troops in a tiny state the south of the size of south korea and i think we'll be hearing more of that going forward interesting to hear thought i'm pretty sure you and i could sit down and talk about this for days on end with how it could play out human rights i mean it was just seoul tomorrow and we'll keep you posted please do please do interested to hear your observations and human rights attorney caching with us

here on our to international. thank you all right more news after short break this hour to international. there are a lot of assumptions and current. deterrence these based on. historically actually it's been proven wrong no doubt many accidents. and many judgments almost lead to show nuclear war. 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 they have to analyze betrayed and adversities confused should the world precede.

this is r t international live from moscow now an activist was violently escorted out of a 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 were caused by security officers he was among a group which interrupted the session to denounce the controversial nominee for cia chief gina has. was. resisting my many respects and. there are some resisting. this is that

is stop hurting me and i don't just let the army. i we spoke to the man who you just saw in that footage former cia officer ray mcgovern he believes the whole hearing was a charade this hearing started in a most unusual way with each ear saying this is an important i can't wear my glasses very well because as you could see there twisted out of shape but what he said was this. this is an open hearing in there will be a close section those people who want to say something extra. do it fast. so i noted that i take copious notes wherever i go especially at hearings like this that i put on the top there i said well now maybe maybe this is an invitation to rick of make a remark i'll do 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 ball so the prospect of gina has been the nominee making incriminating evidence on gina has full 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 or to international we'll be back in thirty minutes. time in history during a crisis like in two thousand and eight where the creditors bailed out the state of the debtors when in 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 cheese together a corporate product daisy chain of incest and by all financial shenanigans the creditors were bailed out and the water 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 reality and the ethics of the country and

the wealth and income gap nosedive. this is boom bust broadcasting around the world washington d.c. from bart chilton.
