palestinian officials say one person has been killed as that great march overturned protests along the gaza border with israel continued on friday that is as the u.s. prepares a controversial move of its embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem on monday. a mass protest in iran follows president decision to pull out of the nuclear deal he is also facing mounting criticism over the move not only for opponents in the u.s. but also. i think it's not right to you know cancel a deal that was agreed upon that was not honestly approved security council to ministers come from the international order what they want to be.

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 tapped to be cia director. or broadcasting. this is. certainly glad to have you with us. anti israeli demonstration along the gaza border is continuing as part of the palestinian so-called great margin for turn one person has been killed and around fifty wounded according to palestinian officials 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 you got a little. bit older. but they're throwing tear gas and trying to you guys and very very far away parts of the bow of the march everyone is surrounded with young guys they're surrounding our home of the journalists and everyone within gaza all they're trying to do is disperse all of these protesters they have been fined here got a sense of mourning in a very very intensive way. it's

getting that darker and there are still israelis night free speech and to have to leave weapons along the fence and you can also see at least two thousand palestinian protesters still on the fence marching on the fence and burning tires of the division of these nine prison. still talking to the organizing committee of the great march of return they said the door to 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 but you see that the 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 a territory we spoke to some on. these 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 finds 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 protest which they call a terrorist act inspired by hamas and as the u.s. gets ready to move its embassy to jerusalem on monday protests are likely to intensify the u.n. is now 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 and calibrated to the i would use 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 and diplomatic switch to jerusalem was first announced last year sparking deadly protest 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.

was. was for the first. was was the. should europe would be nothing more than a quote vassal to america that is the disturbing question posed by a senior french minister it comes as anger runs high in europe following trump's decision to ditch the iran nuclear deal to help those who do the europeans to create new systems that will defend its interests what do we want to be bustles they want to pay 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. it isn't just the german chancellor though that is 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 concerned the deal would be adhered to she said that your iran was sticking to

their side of the deal and that the you would stick to theirs does 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 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

suddenly resigned on friday according to a statement from the global nuclear watchdog taro horizontal will be temporarily replaced by the acting director of the our office of verification in iran and i eighty a group inspecting at tehran's nuclear facilities and official who resigned and had been in office since two thousand and thirteen and played a key role in putting together the iran nuclear deal. georgia has one of each international affairs and a defense spokesman for the france unbowed party believes this could be a make or break moment for the e.u. in its relations with washington. macro and micro where 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 would react and say that they will continue and this is a woman who with iran maybe it will be the very first step of off a true european in the pendants now just days after the u.s. pulled out of the deal washing in tin 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 artie's general 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

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 let it is because this is not and i and between 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. built jetliners to iran air but when bragged about it in line with trump's favorite mantra i will take jobs back to. 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 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 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 the outrage was palpable on the streets of tehran as thousands turned out to denounce president trump a decision to tear up the iranian nuclear deal. i was was. was. was.

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 archie's going underground afshin rattansi discussed this with lord . roth our ham a former member of the u.k. parliamentary group for iran you can watch the full interview on going underground this 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 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 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 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. it congressman has asked of the trumpet ministration to resume its funding of the controversial syrian activist group the white helmets reports of washington kind of money to the group emerged a week ago through though no confirmation has been issued so far does come up and dug deeper into the story for us. 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 can know at the bend in 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 that's 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 there are 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 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. talk to ken stone from the hamilton coalition to stop of the war ken thanks for being with

us here in r.t. international. so. what could be the reason behind the u.s. administration reviewing aid to the white helmets i mean are they failing to praise trump's efforts or i mean are they falling prey to trump's effort to cuts of funding to a number of u.s. aid programs around the world i mean what is at play here. the way the helmets have lost their luster they've been widely discredited in the eyes of the whole world as a frog as a propaganda arm of the western military intervention illegal military intervention in syria and it's the i have to give the credit to our t.v. and to independent journalist such as vanessa billie and eva bartlett who've been interviewed on r.t. for showing that the white house that's are. are a asset of al-qaeda in syria and that is to say on the syria so my

guess is that the trump administration has estimated that the. return on the dollar and that's a lot of dollars thirty two million that they're spending on the white house is declining and so there and that is the reason for the review of the continuing funding. but why not on the other hand one has to be realistic and you kept depend on anything that is said by the u.s. government for example on one day trump said that he was going to remove the u.s. presence in syria the next day the pentagon said exactly the opposite a couple of days later trump said he would keep the syrian keep a u.s. presence in syria provided that the saudi government paid four billion dollars and then a few days later the white house that states they're very clumsy and amateurish false

flag operation this alleged chemical incident in dumas and then the u.s. then president trump along with mr macaroni and mrs may launched over one hundred missiles on syria so one can't depend on what they say it's an open question and in my opinion whether or not the u.s. will continue funding at this point but the white house has now ed royce is the chair of the house foreign affairs committee when will his view carry any weight with the white house given his position there i mean how large is the support for the group in the u.s. congress in general. mr royce will carry weight with the white house he is a republican and he has the support unfortunately of almost the entire congress there are only one or two dissenting voices in the u.s. congress against a you illegal u. s. regime change operation in syria notably a courageous congresswoman from hawaii it. but the rest of the congress is

behind the illegal war and i have to say that this is a good time for u.s. taxpayers to pick up the phone and call their am their congressperson and their congressperson island or their senator and say i don't want my tax dollars to be used to meddle in the internal affairs of a sovereign country so yes don fortunately he will have some say and moreover on april nineteenth i believe have their new art the spokesperson for the state department said categorically that the government of the u.s. would continue paying the paychecks to the white how much personality so i think that that's a good indication that mr rice has support furthermore senator mccain and his institute awarded the white house prestigious award a few weeks ago i think that overwhelmingly in congress the the mood is.

hawkish even though the people of the united states have been shown not to be hawkish not to want these wars while let's switch gears now to canada the white house once paid a visit to the canadian parliament just a few weeks ago do expect candidate continue supporting the group regrettably i have to say that i believe the canadian parliament will. they came to parliament at the end of march to the subcommittee the parliamentary subcommittee on human rights and asked for continuing funding in order to quote save lives and we know that that's ridiculous they don't save lives they from they prolonging the war and called for further military intervention by the western powers it was so bad that the the foreign affairs critic for the new democratic party at the end love everywhere. issued out how to her picture taken with the white house and its

delegation and issued a tweet which called upon the canadian foreign minister to intervene with the u.s. government and plead for the funding that the us continue funding the white house and so in other words to the shame now the new democratic party their foreign affairs critic is acting a shill for washington. to continue funding and i am i'm appalled by the people in the peace movement in canada are absolutely appalled and they were up in arms over this and i'm hoping that canadian taxpayers are taking notice and are going to let the government know that we don't want our tax dollars to be used for our war and illegal war in syria and stone from the hamilton coalition to stop the war thanks for being with us here on our to international. canada's a conservative house leader candice bergen wants to know what authorities are doing

at 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 give a detailed account of his killings in syria. 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 former eisel fighter known as a. confessed to taking part in execution style murders of his sunni muslim men he said he decided to leave syria after the second time he killed a person who was left in two thousand and fourteen to join the extremist group when he was only seventeen years old he now lives in toronto as a canadian house members were told to their surprise this guy is apparently didn't try to kill aiden's deserve more answers from this government up so why doing something for. canada's public safety

minister ralph goodale refused to provide details on the status of the x. i sell fighter however he insists that canadians are safe and that the security agencies are doing their job bruno contributor to the geo political monitor dot com thinks western governments policy towards syria has encouraged people to join extremist groups there. many western governments have taken a very ambiguous line at best and at worst say france united states great britain have to get wrecked lying in antagonizing the syrian regime making it seem like it was ok to go and fight for isis given that we were fighting evil regime. so definitely they should not be surprised of blowback there are at least sixty such fighters will have come back from fighting in syria rather than putting fighters in jail and the sort of deep grief after this story and has come out in parliament

particularly people conservatives it was taken in certain provinces don't like trudeau will definitely make. this into a bigger story and i'm sure that trudeau will probably price will have to explain it for the next election. now activist who was violently arrested at a us senate hearing on wednesday has now been released outside the court seventy nine year old cia veteran ray mcgovern showed bruises he claimed were caused by police officers who was there to denounce the controversial nominee for cia chief. was. on the right resisting my many respects and. never stop resisting give me was that as job heard on me and i don't talk to my left arm i was i mean when we spoke to the man you just saw in the footage former

cia officer governor he believes that the whole hearing was a charade. 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 election 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 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 jena has the nominee making incriminating evidence on jena 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 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 ron charts international stay with us .
