i'm show business i'll see you then. donald trump faces a torrent of criticism from leading european politicians and the media over his decision to pull the u.s. out of the big nuclear deal. sweet consider studying a link possibly between immigration and crime saying public demand for such a move is growing. goes the polls this weekend but the parliamentary elections go to washington worried as none of the main candidates back its policy in. the russian company charged as part of a from russia collusion investigation it's not guilty in court i made prosecutors efforts to delay that.

they could be welcome this is our weekend with me kevin owen just turned nine in the evening now and first in our thirty minute news update from moscow donald trump's decision to pull the u.s. out of the land to run nuclear deal as lead to a sustained barrow of criticism from europe germany's to speak out magazine has been the latest to join the fray summing up the american president's attitude to his washington's allies within a first offense of hand gesture europe's leaders meantime have committed to fighting for their country's interests and they are scrambling still to save the pact. and i think it is not right to you know actually cancel a deal that was agreed upon screaming and shouting insulting. that diminishes confidence in the international order systematically destroying dismantling everything what do we want to be able to pay blindly to what americans tell them because you can america's withdrawal from the nuclear deal has made the situation

even more towns and so we continue to do business but if we always say that if we don't like things and we can't achieve any new international order everyone will do what they feel like that's bad news for the world. after america made the controversial move the chief inspector of the un's nuclear watchdog announced his resignation and it also emerged the top nuclear expert of the us state department also walked this week he they gave a reason for their decision takes a look at the fallout from the president's latest. our u.s. president risking chaos in the middle east and in case you missed it people are surprised again. don't the time campaign by saying that he'd pull out of the nuclear deal with iran but now that he's actually followed through with an election promise he's caught everyone off guard for some reason the world is shocked and outraged is this don't jump reverse that says it's bed time sprint pinkberry dots all over the middle east and north stirring up storms of their own

just a week or two ago donald trump was being put forward for the nobel peace prize for insulting north korea into the pool and new site respecting republican president was that when his c.v. so twelve years of torture is diplomacy in the well as rich powerful nations a level of complexity rarely seen in global affairs as governments came in when but the negotiations pressed on relentless trumps view of the alarm on the deal was you are horrible on the plus side he didn't say very very horrible which in trump well they're more or less a compliment saying that there is wiggle room on parole the orange one said while tearing off the iran deal that it didn't bring calm it didn't bring peace there and it never will he did not want to read baseball cap when he runs for a second term because one of the message a u.s. president can sell standing with the us i am the egg on my face is europe's big three leaders. made the and when i was there and spent

a lot of political capital trying to keep in the deal christ at least one of them kissed him in the end they learned a vital diplomatic unless the kid as many gz as you like but the u.s. is going to do what it down well please the europeans and russia and china say they are dedicated to keeping the middle east nuclear free apart from. you know. everyone techmeme use of terms with drool in their words. come to me for me a way the europeans unleashed sternly worded statement and iran burns an american flag and it meant israel bombed area so perhaps it is reassuring that nothing really ever changes. former u.s. deputy coordinator for the iran nuclear deals told r.t. the trumps decision shows a disregard for europe itself and those worlds apart show the president riding

roughshod over their foods. after all the bonhomie of the meeting after the supposedly improved atmosphere in the merkel meeting and then he actually treated his intention to make this announcement and sort of telegraphed where it was going while foreign secretary boris johnson was actually in washington trying to convince vice president pence and secretary of state to continue the negotiations that whether or not he was intending to be rude whether he was trying to send a message this clearly isn't the way allies behave toward one another i think you see the united states disregarding the needs and interests of its allies and europe and other allies are going to have to look at this and decide how to respond in order to protect their own concerns president trump is trying to tear down the accomplishments of his predecessor i think it's pretty clear from his public remarks that he does not understand what was in the way or what is in the g. c.p.o. a it also does undermine the position of the united states in the world we are

demonstrating that we cannot take yes for an answer and that makes it very very difficult to make credible deals with the united states. i will tell you stories tonight swedish authorities could soon bow to public pressure and conduct a study into whether or not there's a connection between increasing migration and crime levels but leaders are still wary about publishing any data that could reveal any links between the two citing the current political climate. it cannot be noted that the demand in the social debate on obviated information on the relationship between crimes on the one hand and dissent and migration on the other hand is so strong that the author already needs to consider the possibilities again the last study in sweden on migrants and crime was done back in two thousand and five two years ago the police decided to have met criminals nationalities in official reports the push now the first later

study comes after sixty one areas in sweden were labeled no go zones where it's thought around five thousand known criminals currently live. you need to make clear shift in direction we cannot continue in this direction ten more years society needs to do more we need to do more we need to focus on these areas. very sweet as democrats party told under a farmer that he thinks leaders aren't being honest enough about the impact of

immigration immigrants from these countries create havoc all around europe and you know it's need you know you need to start sweden immediately they need to. you're protecting them or denying the problems we have with immigration where the information we receive them from this how can it be used productively to solve the problem. well i think that once people realize once they dare to admit it's you know the causes of the problems from especially some kind of immigrant groups then it's much easier in any gives an argument to stop immigration from these countries because in the end our responsibility is to our citizens and i'm quite sure that you know this survey will be yet another one that will show how the media and the left wing liberals have lied for thirty forty years and about

immigration can also say that many people in sweden commit sex crimes but we don't make an issue of their origin yet there are of course swedish people who commit six fraser crimes in general but it's the thing is when you have an immigration you need to know how does that immigration affect your country it's better enough if a swede rapes someone that's enough we don't need to import more rapes into the country developing story right now to brief you the votes are being counted this weekend in iraq's first parliamentary election there since the defeat of islamic state last year and there's a lot at stake not just for the iraqi people but for the other powers in the region as were guilty of explaining. depending on whose side you're on these elections can make or break the middle east not because of oil nor riches though that helps neither is it ideology or jihad ists this is all about friends.

first of three leading candidates hi the. current prime minister the best word to describe him is neutral syria stay out of it iran vs america stay out of it yemen stay out he would be buying to iran but neither will he be a poor in america's efforts to isolate iran. candid that number two nobody. former prime minister he makes no attempt to hide his affinity for iran imagine if he gave iran bases in iraq allowed troops and tanks to move from iran to syria the israelis the saudis they will include like that one bit.

candidates number three trumps nightmare. meeting this guy who's an iraqi himself fought on the side of iran during the iran iraq war enough said i believe the american administration could be the biggest loser from iraqi election we have three camps fighting to when this election i'm manic and only have one strong ally which is that i love about the always i'm not there and he's trying to keep that alliance with the united states but whether he is going to win this election i have my own doubts i think that it's that i'll have the group that i'll give you are very close to the indian and gating a lot of support but i'm not here so i believe they have. until now so you see the

problem here one guy doesn't want to get involved in anything one guy is all buddy buddy with iran and the lust is supra rainy and he'll fight you quite literally and even with the weight steeped in its favor america says iran is cheating we have worrisome evidence that iran is trying to influence using money the iraqi elections that money is being used to sway candidates to sway votes it's not an insignificant amount of money we believe and we think it's highly and helpful it's bad so bad. that western states ascending and bassett is to end trying to empower an iraqi cleric who's supporters had been killing american troops back in the times of the us intervention he even warned two years ago that americans are a target all forgiven and forgotten you see he doesn't like iran

any day that iran's military general kassim silly money looks at the t.v. and is unhappy is a good day for security in the region and looking at. those meetings in saudi arabia will make you very unhappy it all depends on who is siding juran america lost thousands of men in iraq spent eight trillion dollars on the war there and to watch it all go to iran that would hurt. almost a year after the opening of the united states special counsel investigation into donald trump's alleged links to russia vice president mike pence now says it's time to bring it to a close. our ministrations provided over a million documents we fully cooperated and in the interest of the country i think it's time to wrap it up it comes ahead of the first hearing in a criminal case brought by the special counsel against thirteen russian individuals

and three entities they're accused of conspiracy to interfere in the us presidential race it was thought all of them were unlikely to ever appear and cool but in a twist one company decided to defend itself and it turns out the robot with his team wasn't quite prepared for that as jacqueline boger explains february saw the first real result of mahler's investigation finally the russians were being called out directly three companies and thirteen individuals were named and shamed the massive indictment in the robert muller investigation breaking today of thirteen russians special counsel robert most investigation moeller indicted the russians thirteen russians not only operating overseas but operating right here in the united states but given that those targeted are russian nationals with no worries about extradition to the us no one expected the matter to go any further than media headlines but one company named in the indictment concord management and consulting seemingly called ballers bluff by hiring d.c. attorneys who showed up for the arraignment the plea of not guilty not you think

muller's office would be happy to finally have their day in court but no they tried to put off the hearing on the grounds that the defendant hadn't been properly served which is amazing as being served is just a way of getting the opposing party to show up to court but given that lawyers for concord have done exactly that the judge ruled against that argument it seems borderline immoral to indict someone unless you can prove he's guilty of the crime they did it for one reason only mother needed something russian like dressing on a salad to make his investigation look good the defense attorneys also demanded massive amounts of documents related to the probe things that hadn't been made public and there's no way miller's doing that just think about it turning over classified information to the. people representing a supposedly kremlin linked company court investigators from miller's office said they would have been thrilled to see all of the defendants show up like that was never going to happen and went on to ask if the attorneys represented a catering company listed in the indictment as well the aim of which was lost even

on the judge. ok would you like me to do with now start of hearing on the case is scheduled for may sixteenth and we'll likely know by then if everyone is ready to put all their chips on the table. washington time to russia's sanctions appear to have become somewhat of a foreign policy tradition but the latest round of penalties driving some officials literally around the bend.

thanks. thanks thanks. thanks. in a flush of news ahead this story relations between the u.s. and north korea may be on the up but the big question is can all the big promises be kept a look at i guess the rest of the weekend's top stories after this quick break. thank.

you only. so some officials don't. fully understand or don't fully accept the principle of football being beyond politics that's a fundamental principle of the world football crew. were granted some people may have opinions but it's their own opin. it doesn't influence opinions of many other football fans who are buying tickets every day in large volumes. again are weekends going good so next story about a canadian opposition leader who is demanding to know what's being done about

dozens of former i still fighters who've returned to canada he comes after one of them admitted carrying out executions in syria in a new york times podcast and you can do this you're going to be held accountable and i just kept looking down at his feet i don't want to look at his head and. i kept thinking. children this individual described how he executed individuals by shooting them in the back they had 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 this former i still fighter who goes by the name of. confessed to taking part in execution style murders of sunni muslim men he said he decided to leave syria after his second killing originally left canada in twenty fourteen to join the extreme extremist group he was only seventeen at the time now he's back in toronto much to canadian m.p. surprise. this guy is apparently in toronto canadians deserve more answers from

this government absolutely doing something that they did was the right thing. well canada's public safety minister refused to provide details on the former eisel fighters current status but he insists that quote canadians are safe and the security agencies are doing their job and a standard bruno's contributed to geo political monitor dot com he thinks western governments policies toward syria have encouraged people into becoming extremists many western governments have taken a very ambiguous line at best and at worst 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 you were fighting evil regime of so so definitely should not be surprised that blowback at least sixty such fighting it will come back from fighting in syria rather than putting fighters in jail of the

sort of deep grief that this story and has come out in parliament particularly conservatives particularly certain provinces don't like trudeau will definitely make. this into a bigger story and i'm sure that trudeau will probably price all have to explain it for the next election. the current to talk between the u.s. and north korea appears still to be holding steady pyongyang said it wants journalists from around the world now to come a witness it's dismantling of a current nuclear test facility later this month the announcement comes after america's top diplomat promised the cuban regime economic aid if it gives up its atomic arsenal. north korea takes bold action to quickly denuclearize the united states is prepared to work with north korea to achieve prosperity on the par with our south korean friends the comments represented to mattick u.s. policy shift on north korea in the past thirteen years washington's imposed

hundreds of trade penalties on that isolated nation that we are for them were implemented in just the last twelve months alone and sanctions have been america's only tactic for exerting pressure on pyongyang only the strongest sanctions will enable us to resolve this problem through diplomacy. if north korea continues its dangerous path we will continue with further pressure that's called the military option the choice is we will have no choice but to totally destroy north korea it will be devastating rocket and should have been handled a long time ago. what was then this is now all the relations appear to be moving in the right direction human rights attorney eric sorkin told us that the u.s. still needs to make good on its promises and the words alone aren't enough. there's a lot of problems that we face with the credibility of the united states under those circumstances can we make deals whether it's the paris climate deal whether

it's the around the nuclear deal what 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 multitude of countries so trust has to be rebuilt by experience it's not built by words it's not built by sheets of paper. several thousand paper out protesting in the capital of the south caucasus country of georgia following overnight anti drugs raids on two clubs was

georgia a terrible history says a suspected dealers were arrested but the demonstrators say office used excessive force and that their operation was a quote deliberate provocation they claim the ministry fabricated evidence that the venusian used as major drug trafficking point and that is trying to crack down in fact on tbilisi flourishing club see the testers now calling for both the prime minister and the interior minister to quit and they definitely made themselves heard as you can see of front of parliament was. was. another three way some of the world this weekend is looking keep across so. stories that are kevin over here in moscow more for me in twenty six minutes time more great programs for you and your part of the world after this break.

threat of death from both syrian and russian airstrikes and in the face of smears and distin from ation the rescue workers of the white helmets have never stopped saving the lives of their fellow syria last week the trumpet ministration froze their u.s. funding with thousands of civilian lives at risk will the prime minister step our pledge the government to plug the funding shortfall that now exists and is sure these heroic rescue workers can continue their work he clearly thinks all the evidence of white helmets collusion with is the mist in syria is this information so will teresa may defy washington's appraisal of the white helmets we do support them we will continue to support them and my right arm will find the international development secretary will be looking at the level of that support in the future corbin didn't ask about theresa may allegedly using taxpayers' money to support groups. linked to terrorism instead he went all the illiberal in his support for a post works at customs union with the e.u.

didn't make any reference to sending her foreign secretary to pete on fox news as part of is one policy initiative pleading with the president to fox news rather than through direct interventionist of the speaker the middle east is in need of stability conflicts that already region in yemen syria and iraq meanwhile the foreign secretary can deliver a forty minute message abroad in a correct manner you can't stop all the foreign secretary undermines the prime minister and the customs union prime minister can you tell us when the foreign secretary will both agree with that one government's position and if not will she have the backbone to send to the backbench it's britain's foreign secretary appeared to want to resign the earlier in the week but if tourism is former home office minister norman baker claimed on wednesday's going underground that the pm acts on orders from the daily mail newspaper nowadays he seems to prefer rupert murdoch's fox news is absolutely right that government.
