4:02 pm
moment it does look like the knifeman we don't know how many people were purportedly involved in this has been killed by paris police tonight since we get more of course tell you about it too. next tonight. donald trump's decision to pull the u.s. out of a landmark iran nuclear deal has led to a sustained barrage of criticism from europe germany magazine is the latest in to join the fray summing up the american presidency attitude to washington's allies with an offensive hand gesture europe's leaders meantime of committed to fighting for their country's interests and if they're scrambling to save up still. and i think it is not right to cancel a deal that was agreed upon screening and. insulting and. that diminishes confidence in the international order systematically destroying dismantling everything what do we want to be. blinded to what american selman because you could america's image around the nuclear deal has made the situation even more towns
4:03 pm
continue to do business if we always say that if we don't like things and we can't achieve any new international border everyone will do what they feel like that's bad for the world. for days after america made the controversial move the chief inspector of the un's nuclear watchdog announced his resignation it also emerged with a top nuclear expert at the u.s. state department walked in the week neither gave a reason for their decision but it takes a lighthearted look at the fallout from trump's latest gambit to date. our u.s. president risking chaos in the middle east and in case you missed it people are surprised again. don't you 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 but some reason the world is shocked and outraged is if you don't come to read us that says it's bed time
4:04 pm
sprinkling fairly dull stool 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 tools and a new start respecting republican president was that when his c.v. so twelve years of torture is diplomacy from the world's worst powerful nations a level of complexity rarely seen in global of governments came in when but the negotiations pressed on relentlessly terms of you have 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 up the iran deal that it didn't bring calm it didn't bring peace there and it never will he does 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 i and everyone that faces europe's big three
4:05 pm
leader is. the end of hands and spent a lot of political capital trying to keep trump in the deal christ at least one of them kissed him in the end they learned a vital diplomatic unless the kids as many gts 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 if. everyone took the news of trucks with drool in their ears. comfortably for me a way the europeans are least sternly worded statement and iran bangs an american flag and it meant and israel bombed the area and they perhaps there is really a story that nothing really ever changes. so iran now says it's ready to restart its nuclear program on an industrial scale this new internet the foreign minister describing america's move as unlawful and
4:06 pm
accusing it of a long history of violating the accord the rose also shifting online to with iran's supreme leader a period of troll president trump a posting a photo of him reading foreign fury book from inside the world trump. detailing those salacious claims about trump calling his behavior erratic of course and describing vicious infighting the best seller calls an explosive li angry reaction from trump of his team that is about to be published. a former u.s. deputy coordinator for the iran nuclear deal spoke to r.t. direct said that the u.s. president's decision shows a disregard for europe in fact he tells them these worlds apart show how trumps riding roughshod over is allies efforts. 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
4:07 pm
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 at 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 predecessors 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. way 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 a credible deals with the united states. must
4:08 pm
go back to the breaking news just a few more details and i believe some pictures now to show you as well at the site and i coming in from paris obviously a busy time and i lot of people on the streets there are times at the now then it's just to run about ten o'clock in the evening of course isn't it well apparently within the last hour or so police there have shot a man dead in the opera district busy all part of town after attack people with a knife it's the opera distrait you see a lot of ambulances police there in attendance narrow pretty streets but it seems eight people are reportedly injured two of them seriously. it seems the air is being called often over so you can see that you cells police do say the situation is in the control. we'll keep an eye on that no word as to what the cause of this was of what the motives were behind it yet. easy to jump to conclusions but we shan't do that until we hear what the police have got to say no doubt there to make a statement in the coming hours so what's going on thought of course for their
4:09 pm
family friends loved ones of all the people caught up in whatever's happened there tonight but as i say it looks like just to recap as we sing those live pictures that are in. an individual armed with a knife as being airborne controlled by the police eight people injured two seriously it looks like it's under control we think we'll bring you more as we get it. swedish authorities could soon bow to public pressure and conduct a study into whether there's a connection between increasing migration and crime levels but leaders are still wary about publishing or linking any data that could reveal links between the two citing the current political climate it can now be noted that the demand in the so should debate on obviated information on the relationship between crimes on the one hand and dissent and migration on the other hand is so strong there's also already
4:10 pm
needs to consider the possibilities again. the last study in sweden or migrants in crime was done way back in two thousand and five two years ago the police decided to admit to criminals nationalities in official reports now though the push for this latest study comes after sixty one areas in sweden were indeed labeled no go zones where it's thought around five thousand known criminals currently live. to make it clear shift in direction you cannot continue in this direction. society needs to do more with newcastle and the tears.
4:11 pm
remember sweetens democrats party told andrew farmer that he thinks leaders are being honest enough about the impact of immigration immigrants from these countries to create havoc all around europe and you know it's needs you know you need to stop this inside sweden the media they need to stop you're protecting them or denying the problems we have with immigration where the information received 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 you are 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. you know this survey will
4:12 pm
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 and swayed commit sex crimes but we don't make an issue of their origin. yes there are of course swedish people who commit six razor crimes in general. the thing is when you have an immigration you need to know how does the immigration affect your country it's better not if a swede rapes someone. we don't need him more rapes in the country. votes being counted in iraq's first parliamentary election this weekend since the defeat of islamic state last year there and there's a lot at stake not just for the iraqi people but for the other powers involved there as well in the region as our senior correspondent risk of we're against you
4:13 pm
have explains next. 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 high the. current prime minister the best word to describe him is neutral syria stay out of it iran versus america stay out of it yemen stay out he would be bowing to iran but neither will he be a poor in america's efforts to isolate iran. candid number two nobody. former prime minister he makes no attempt to
4:14 pm
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 like that one bit. candidates number three trumps nightmare. meeting this guy who's in iraq he 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 win this election that many can only have one strong ally which is that i love about the always. and he is trying to keep that alliance with the united states but whether he is going to win
4:15 pm
this election i have my own doubts i think that i will. miss that i'll give you are very close to the end and gating a lot of support by the 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 so poor raney 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 how. it's bad so bad that western states are sending ambassadors to end trying to empower and the rocky
4:16 pm
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 see rooms military general kassim silliman. he 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 side 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. over sigyn now after the opening of the united states special counsel investigation into donald trump's alleged links to russia now vice president mike pence says it's
4:17 pm
time to bring it all to a close our administration has provided over a million documents we fully cooperated in it and in the interest of the country i think it's time to wrap it up his comments come 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 u.s. presidential race it was thought all of them were unlikely to ever appear in court but in a twist now to tell you about one company decided to defend itself it turns out robert wallace team went quite prepared for that one as jacqueline vogel reports. 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 wagner investigation breaking today of thirteen russian special counsel robert muller investigation or indicted the russians thirteen russians not only operating overseas for operating right here in
4:18 pm
the united states but given that those targeted are russian nationals with no worries about extradition to the u.s. 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 buller's bluff by hiring d.c. attorneys who showed up for the arraignment the plea of not guilty or 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 muller needed some 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
4:19 pm
classified information to the people representing a supposedly kremlin linked company court investigators from miller's office that 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. would you like me to do with now a status 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. let me take you back to the breaking news you see in the red ticker the bottom of the screen there in this saturday night from paris sadly police in the center of that city of shot dead a man who stabbed bystanders in the busy opera district there quiet though of course the moment it's all been cleared the way they're it seems a development to tell you about that we haven't been able to tell you before it seems that one of those victims attacked is dead and the purported attacker was
4:20 pm
well again this is all to be confirmed the details skills are still sketchy there eight others are injured two of them seriously want to firm this up but as it does seem that one of the people attacked there has died the attackers motives himself not yet known the areas cordoned off police have put it into lockdown you can imagine this time when i was just past. ten o'clock in the evening there now twenty past ten or have the sound of. course an hour ago busy all part of the beautiful part of town struck by real drama there and horror tonight people are trying have a good time and it looks like this is our foot no idea what the motive is we still get a pin down exactly what's happened there but it does also look like it's under control it seems there was only one reported attacker alleged attacker and it seems that he has been shot dead by police but we know nothing about him yet the french police will give some sort of recap to the public in the coming hours.
4:21 pm
ok we'll keep an eye on that this is r.t. international thanks for staying with us. check out some of the new stories tonight canadian opposition leader is demanding to know what's being done to dozens of former eisel fighters who've returned to canada it comes after one of them admitted carrying out executions in syria in new york times podcast. and you can do this you know can we hold a candle and i just kept looking down at his feet i don't want to look at his head and. i kept thinking we killed them 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. the former i saw fighter goes by the name of. confessed
4:22 pm
to taking part in execution style murders of sunni muslim men he said he decided to leave syria after his second killing was over originally left canada in twenty fourteen to join the extremist group when he was seventeen he's now back into wrong so much to many canadian m.p.'s surprise is one way to put it. this guy is apparently in toronto canadians deserve glory answers from this government absolutely doing something about. calendars public safety minister refused to provide details on the former i saw fighters current status but insists that canadians a safe and that security agencies are doing their job and exams are brutal going to take on this he's a contributor to geo political monitor dot com he thinks western governments policies toward syria would have encouraged people to become extremist in the first place. many western governments have taken a very ambiguous lie at best and at worst say france united states great britain
4:23 pm
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 so definitely should not be surprised to look back at least sixty such fighting it will come back from fighting in syria rather than putting fighters in jail of the sort of deep breached this story and has come out in parliament particularly people conservatives particularly certain provinces don't like trudeau will definitely make. this into a bigger story and i'm sure that trudeau probably price all have to play it for the next election. between the us north korea appears to be holding steady said it wants journalists run the world to become a witness now is dismantling of a nuclear test facility later this month the announcement comes after america's top
4:24 pm
diplomat promised the kim regime economic aid if it does give up its atomic arsenal north korea to export 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 represent a dramatic u.s. policy shift on north korea in the past thirteen years worth bearing in mind washington's imposed hundreds of trade penalties on the isolated country nearly half of them were implemented in 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 kodaly destroy north korea it will be devastating rocket man should have been
4:25 pm
handled a long time ago. although relations now appear to be moving in the right direction even rights attorney eric surat can told us the u.s. still needs to make good on its promises and the woods alone are not 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 them pulling out of them despite the fact that they've been negotiated by a multitude of countries so trust has to be rebuilt by experience it's not built by
4:26 pm
words it's not built by sheets of paper. so some people protesting in the capital of a south caucasus country of georgia following overnight anti drugs raids on two clubs that. i ga interior ministry says eight suspected deal is arrested two have since been released but demonstrators say officers used excessive force and that their operation was a deliberate provocation they claim the ministry fabricated evidence that the venue's used as a major drug trafficking points and is trying to crack down on tbilisi flourishing klebsiella in fact the city's mayor tonight urging demonstrators to talk to the government about how to tackle drug dealing but they're calling for the interior minister to quit they say they plan to spend the night outside parliament tonight with have already been making themselves well and truly here it.

4:28 pm
they have shot him it looks like he is dead we don't know anything about his courage this is age or of course any motives and it would be very wrong to jump to any conclusions on that at the moment of course there have been over the years a lot of terror attacks in paris we do. and if that is it for a long time france was on lockdown for a couple of years at the highest level of security that was dropped late last year but people of course still bit wary when they go but again we don't know what's up and tear apart from an area in central paris in locked police have killed the knife men who attacked bystanders eight one of those eight. two of them is seriously injured the other six we're not quite sure stay with us we're going to go full on this this hour i can tell you that as we get more details we want to bring you the latest so we're going to go for another half hour live on air here about international. continue with this story than donald trump's decision to pull the u.s. out of a landmark iran nuclear deal has led to
