take this opportunity again to call in israel to be very careful and calibrated and i would use force in addressing the protesters and go but also call on. the leaders of the protests in gaza to prevent friction to prevent situations in which provoke issues can happen. all right then 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 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.
8:06 pm
was. was. was was was. should in europe to be nothing more than a quote vassal to america that is a disturbing question posed by senior french minister it comes as anger runs high in europe following trends decision to ditch the iran nuclear deal broke loose a duty 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 financing of nuclear weapons
8:07 pm
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 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 confidence in the international order. and it. is money if we always say that if we don't like things and we can achieve a new international order that 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
8:08 pm
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 but 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 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's your run was
8:09 pm
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 if it worked out the consequence of that is that no single country alone and destroy the 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 mockery any 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
8:10 pm

8:11 pm
a small region of the huge us empire but if they act as the it sounds they will act which is good they would react and say that they will continue and this a woman who with iran maybe it will be the very first step of offer a true european in the pendants well 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 tehran as well as about his genuine bushell comments 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
8:12 pm
bloom corporate giants now licking wounds include the biggest hitters on the continent from volkswagen to british airways air bus 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 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
8:13 pm
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 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
8:14 pm
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 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. airspace 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
8:15 pm
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 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 at the outrage was palpable on the streets of tehran as thousands turned out to denounce president trump's decision to tear the iran nuclear deal.
8:16 pm
following washington's criticism iran fired back saying the u.s. itself has never fulfilled its commitments under the agreement struck three years ago the host of arties going underground afshin rattansi discussed this with lord. former member of the u.k. problem entry group for iran you can watch the full interview on going underground this saturday but here's a quick test 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 do you think there's some truth to what president rouhani of iran says that he says
8:17 pm
the e.u. does not have the capacity to be a global player because seeing doubt on the words coming from london paris berlin brussels saying no no we don't like what donald trump's 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 will. or more news and short break this is our international. there are a lot of assumptions and current. you know deterrence is based on and
8:18 pm
historically actually explained and proven wrong no doubt many accidents. many judgments almost lead to death still nuclear war. applied for many flips over the years so i know the guy even so i got. the ball isn't only about what happens on the beach for the final school it's about the passion from the families it's the age of the super money just to spend spend the two to twenty million why. it's an experience like nothing else want to because i want to share what i think what i know about the beautiful guy was great so what will chance with. the base it's going to take.
8:19 pm
this is our team international now canada's conservative house leader candace at bergen has issued a challenge to the liberal government of prime minister justin trudeau she wants to know what difficulties are doing about at least sixty former eisel fighters who have returned to canada comes on the heels of a new york times podcast in which a former jihadi gave a detailed account of his killings in this he were. this individual described how he executed individuals by shooting them in the back of the head he said that the people he was shooting deserved it and he said i know i won't be held accountable he said that a least twice. the former eisel fighter known as who who confessed to taking part in the execution style murders of sunni muslim men he said that he decided to leave syria after the second time he killed
8:20 pm
a person who left in two thousand and fourteen to join the extremist group when he was only seventeen years old now lives in toronto as canadian house members were told to their surprise this guy is apparently in toronto canadians deserve more answers from this government up so why am i doing something i don't. have it is public safety minister ralph a good good ale excuse me refuse to provide details on the status of the ex i still fight or however he insists that canadians are safe and that security agencies are doing their job. the r.c.m.p. and all the related security and police agencies of this country are doing their job and taking all of the steps necessary to ensure that justice is inforced. aren't always under bruno who is a contributor to the geo political monitor dot com joins us now to discuss this
8:21 pm
a little bit further thanks for being with us here on r.t. international thank you do you think so canada's house opposition leader has demanded an explanation for why an ex terrorist is on the loose in toronto now why hasn't an answer been forthcoming so far. well anderson and there are at least sixty such side it will come back from fighting in syria in one way or another isis or who knows how many groups and i think the eyes was explained already this story came out in september. and it's just now that apparently. the knowledge of the. site. is three in toronto but he's not really free he's being watched and arrogated by the r.c.m.p. and sees as kind of the equivalent of the f.b.i.
8:22 pm
cia so i think. the authorities are watching over now. i don't know i'm not sure in other western countries i think there has been a similar approach this is not unusual to kind of. rather than putting fighters in jail. sort of debriefed especially by people who may have be for example in canada. by someone who was. it was almost radical i. came out. of writing elevation so he handled in a more. scientific way. simply putting people to jail and which chris. and i could go on about later where you
8:23 pm
mention that this is the tactic that is really. novel if you will that it's been used in the west and western countries what has been the reaction in canadian society to this is there much outrage there. much outrage so far but i'm sure that. this story has come out in parliament particularly people conservatives particularly certain provinces who don't like trudeau will definitely make. this into a bigger story and i'm sure that trudeau will probably. pay a price or have to explain before the election this will definitely be one of those things talking points that will come up especially given the president to the south of us in the white house i don't think this is
8:24 pm
a story that's going to go away the way. may not be. it's not. just the idea of punishment doesn't come out i think to understand the phenomenon i think we need to read. the clues. to how to approach these problems but. it's not it's a very complex issue and i do sympathise with the canadian government for its handling. now you have other but not the way to fight as. well if you look back western governments have a history of backing radical insurgencies in the islamic world. so should they really be surprised now that blowback is beginning to hit home i mean these people have to land somewhere. that is exactly the point it's very difficult for a government who has canadian government has not so it doesn't it doesn't take the
8:25 pm
front lines but certainly it was not encouraging syrian government. it was taking many western governments have taken a very ambiguous line at best and at worse say france united states great britain have to have the red line in antagonizing the syrian regime making it seem like it was ok i think to go and fight for isis given that you were fighting evil regime son so definitely there should not be surprised of blowback and this is not a new story this story can be traced back to afghanistan in one thousand eight. i don't say that i would use an alias of course he was one of the companions of the prophets that's sort of an alias and they. went to. pakistan and sort of just. study them up their asses there in two thousand and thirteen before joining
8:26 pm
isis in syria in two thousand and fourteen so we had that phenomenon which led to al-qaeda in the eighty's and the blowback. and one example played it way up this blowback that rarely gets mentioned in the west anymore is the algerian civil war it started in the one nine hundred ninety two after an election. brought islamists to power and the generals led a coup against the islamists well many of the fighters who many algerians went to flight sort of. in afghanistan in the eighty's came back and helped to form some of the radical armies that fought that government until two thousand and one. that war killed at least one hundred fifty thousand people but the west didn't get involved in. and all sorts of quarters and war and.
8:27 pm
we know it was all right unfortunately we're running out of time aleksandra bruno who's a contributor of geo political monitor dot com in very interesting to hear your thoughts thank you. all right an activist who was violently arrested at a u.s. senate hearing on wednesday has now been released outside the court seventy nine year old cia veteran ray mcgovern showed bruises that he claimed were caused by police officers he was there to denounce the controversial nominee for cia chief. was. resisting my many respects. their comfort. give me that this is it is not heard of me and i don't like this. he spoke to the man you just saw in the footage former cia officer ray mcgovern he believes that the whole hearing was a shore up. this hearing started in
8:28 pm
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 closed session 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 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 al nish eerie in thailand where
8:29 pm
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 pool so the prospect of china has full the nominee making incriminating evidence on jena has bull 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 entitle to a direct to an honest answer on that question all right that doesn't for me i'll be back in about thirty three minutes well and can you stay with us.
8:30 pm
