palestinian officials say one person has been killed as great march of return protests along the gaza border with israel continued on friday that is the u.s. prepares the controversial move of its embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem on monday . a massive protest follows from president the decision to pull out of the iran nuclear deal is also facing mounting criticism over the move not only opponents in the u.s. but also european. and i think it's not right to you know what. that was agreed upon that was now honestly approved security council diminishes confidence in the international order. to be. europeans to say economic interests. and we speak to

a veteran cia analyst who was aggressively detained after speaking out against confirmation of the woman to be cia director. broadcasting live. this is art international certainly glad to have you with us now and israeli demonstrations along the gaza border are continuing as part of the palestinian so-called great march of return 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 local correspondent was on the ground throughout the day for us. this is an injury i think you. 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. 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 us all the join in this 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 warning and a very very intensive way.

of getting the darker and there are still israeli snipers stationed to have the 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 the sniper is. still talking to the organizing committee of the great march of return they said that during the expecting at least one million tolleson in 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 people. have also recently started resorting to a new form of violent protest attaching fire bombs to kinds and flying that over the border fence into israeli held territory and 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 that would burn for longer the current causes large scale fires 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 are not returning it of 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 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 the planned protests and goes on

take this opportunity again to call in israel to be very careful and calibrated the code uses force in addressing the protesters and goes on but also call on. the 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 a condemnation across the globe the city has long been a point of contention it is regarded as a holy site by several religions however israel claims that as its capital. i have determined that it is time to officially recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel was. was was.

was was was. well should europe to 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 doctor who duty europe needs to create new systems that will defend its interests what do we want to be bustles that would have paid 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's coming out in making the statement she's presenting

a united front along with the french president of manual 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 rainey 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 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 you heard of the international atomic energy agency inspections team suddenly resigned on friday this according to a statement from the global nuclear watchdog carol. will be temporarily replaced by

the acting director of the office of verification in iran and group inspecting tehran's nuclear facilities the official who resigned had been in office since two thousand and thirteen and played a key role in putting together the iran nuclear deal. and 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 our g.'s daniel 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 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 air bus may be worst hit it signed a nineteen billion dollar deal with tehran just two years ago three billion more with athan 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 would 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 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 us 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 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. 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. 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 deals with russian play makers suing china's all over iran like

a rush 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 and the outrage was palpable on the streets of tehran as thousands turned out to denounce president trumps decision to tear of the iran nuclear deal. but i. 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 host of artie's going underground. discuss this with lord rufford are having a former member of the u.k. parliamentary group for you ron you can watch the full interview on going underground this saturday here is a quick preview. 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 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 we are 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 coming money to the group emerged a week ago though no confirmation has been issued so far it is came up and that's a story for. 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 with the band and 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 and funding 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 didn't know why 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. canada's conservative house leader candice bergen wants to know what authorities are doing

about the 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 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 before i saw a fighter known as. confessed to taking part in the execution style murders of sunni muslim men he said he decided to leave syria after the second time he killed a person. who left in two thousand and fourteen to join the extremist group when he was only seventeen years old and he 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 doing something.

well canada's public safety minister ralph goodale refused to provide details on the status of the ex i still find her however he insists that canadians are safe and that security agencies are doing their job bruno contributor to geo political monitor dot com thinks western governments policy toward 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 red line 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 of assad so definitely they should not be surprised that 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 next election. 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 aspel. was. already resisting my many respects. stop resisting give me that's only just as job heard on me and i don't just. call me i was not a homeowner i mean. now we spoke to the man you just saw there in that footage

former cia officer ray mcgovern 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 their twisted out of shape but what he said was this. this is an open hearing and it 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 and i put it on the top that i said well now maybe maybe this is an invitation to rake 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 pool so the prospect of gina has full the nominee making incriminating evidence on gina has full secret so that the american people could 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. all right whistleblower chelsea manning says prosecution and physical abuse of activists is quickly becoming the

new normal. protest. places all across the country from california to new york. north carolina. charging. delegate counts. brutalized by the police. this is not new but it's certainly. not stopped. join a songe is reportedly facing new limitations that include bans on phone calls and even visitors that's according to wiki leaks of the whistleblowing group he co-founded restrictions a calm as his fate is being negotiated by u.k. and ecuadorian authorities his internet access is still blocked we have had talks who are interested in solving this is she and songes aware that ecuador is

exhausting all efforts by diplomatic means now in march as songes internet use was restricted after he tweeted criticism of the u.k.'s response to the poisoning of sergei and you'll the ask ripoff there's been almost six years since we keep leaks founder julian assange had to seek asylum in the ecuadorian embassy in london during his time assange has been visited by many friends celebrity guests and the media but it looks like you 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 journalist songs political asylum granted him a safe haven in its 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 a more draconian restriction on terrorists all right experience in prison they do have a right to communicate during a song does not so this is a very very backward step which goes quite clearly against ecuador own guarantee of human rights and free expression however songs has always remained upbeat about his life inside the embassy we took a fun look at what the whistleblower can still do with the few items still in his possession.

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 the allies betrayed and adversities confused how should the world perceive. changing the system back again is going to be very expensive for munich a preliminary calculation came to nineteen million euros by twenty twenty and that's without the license fees for microsoft. does create the moogs is alyson island and a full on tuesday of us one tune is feel against us to get even if you're a new. i'm done. indicated of and under the arbor it's
