a witness from their window and shows the immediate aftermath of the attack r.t. france correspondent joined as early as from paris where the details. have been in this very busy district of paris touristy places where there are a lot of restaurants lots of bars here there's the attack happened a bit before nine pm a moment where all the regions and tourists were out side so basically people were eating in restaurants having times of friends and man assault randomly several people with a knife according to witnesses the man was walking in the streets crazy studying every people he met on his way then he ran towards police officers apparently should seeing kill me or i q several people heard him saying a lot of work bar then he has been killed by police officers the metro lines of the area has been closed other people were blogs also in restaurants and bars so it's

was really a panic scenes there we know that an investigation is now opened by the terroristic section in paris we just heard that. islamic state claimed responsibility for this attack president mccrone tweeted that france had again paid a high price but stood firm against enemies of freedom what is described the nightmare they experienced. try to push the dog restaurant instead of that and she couldn't get inside that is when he attacked her right in front of the restaurant her friend stepped in and helped her otherwise i think he would have continued to talk. i was going home along st i saw a crowd had gathered and i thought maybe it was a robbery so i asked what happened and people told me someone stabbed people

someone told me that a woman had been attacked with a knife i went to see if i could help people who are already taking care of her process in a wave of terror attacks in recent years beginning with the mass shooting at the office at the satirical magazine charlie hebdo in november twenty fifth been seven people were killed in the same month one hundred thirty people lost their lives in coordinated shooting and bomber salt's in paris that was the deadliest terror attack in french history in july two thousand and sixteen a truck plowed through a crowd celebrating but still day in nice that atrocity killed eighty six people france has also seen sporadic smaller scale but also deadly attacks like the one that just took place on saturday night let's cross live to form a m i five intelligence officer on the mission to discuss this further now on the good morning to you it's almost like deja vu isn't it was a comparison talking terror attacks the state of emergency was lifted in france six months ago but these attacks looks like the just keep happening what can be done

about this. it's very difficult to pinpoint a lone operators such as this person it would appear to have been let's bear in mind yes there was a state of emergency that was lifted but in fact the new incoming president the crown at the time then instituted a number of the measures from the state of emergency into permanent law so the security services in france do indeed have wide ranging powers and unfortunately i would be willing to bet that whoever perpetrated this attack this time is already on the radar either with the intelligence agencies or at the very least with the local police for perhaps involvement in petty crime we've seen this pattern emerge time and time and time again in in france particularly where people this seems to be an overlap between the criminality and the radicalization which leads them to carry out such attacks do you think incident like this is going to leave mcraney feeling red faced do you think it is going to cast doubt on his ability to ensure

security in the country. i think it's going to begin to erode it yes people voted for him partly to stop the national front coming in of course but also because they wanted a strong centrally positioned politician who would be tough on crime tough on terrorism and if you cannot deliver on that people are going to get more frightened the fact that this attack is now happened only a month after the alleged chemical attack in syria and the french u.k. and u.s. retaliatory strikes against it whether or not they're actually trying to target the assad regime or the so-called isis rebels in syria is going to be seen by many as simply an attack by the west against a middle eastern country and this might have provoked this current attack and might provoke future attacks across all countries to islamic state was quick to claim responsibility for this attack or do you think it's likely that it was thought through and prepared in advance. islamic state always cane's

responsibility for these types of attacks and indeed you know have a tenuous there will be a certain degree of responsibility there even if it's just for internet radicalization but let's not forget that with the ousting of isis from large sectors of iraq and syria our intelligence agencies have been warning our peoples that in fact there will be a lot of homecoming homegrown radicalized isis fighters in fact i saw a report only yesterday that stated sixty isis fighters returned to their home country of canada so yes this is a legitimate concern for security services how to stop it. becomes the ever increasing question paris does seem to be a hotbed of terror attacks do you think that the french capital is doing enough to prevent future to prevent radicalized they should and why do you think france italy is the european is most targeted by islam as terrorists. i

think it's number historic reasons first of all of course there was the colonialism in algeria when france pulled out of algeria this led to quite a vicious civil war and even back in the ninety's there was massive terrorist attacks committed by algerian islamist terrorists in paris so there's that sort of colonial history but we're also seeing of course france interventionism in countries like libya in two thousand and eleven it was france that initiated that nato humanitarian attack as they called it and involvement in other middle eastern countries too most recently of course trying to fight the assad regime in syria so i think it's just sort of general perception that france is meddling outside areas it should be. from and historically it has done that of course as well with the algerian situation a lot of the young men went to move and live in france so they have a very large muslim despero there's been largely ghettoized and segregated in the

suburbs the born here around paris and that does lead to a very. intense hotbed where radicalization is very possible now as well so i think it's a sort of. a convergence of historic issues historic problems and more than political actions this is leading to the fact that france is being more targeted than perhaps most other european countries for my five intelligence officer on a mission thank you for joining us the. european leaders have said they have had enough and will not total washington's line rebellion came in response to donald trump a decision to reject the iran nuclear deal. i am announcing today that the united states will withdraw from the a rare nuclear deal another statement from trump and we are in for another treat it's so juicy you can't help but savor it let's take it from the top we'll see how we do with the rare probably we will do

very well with them but that's ok too of course he probably won't do very well with iran he just we may go on a deal that let the country's economy breathe more freely for the first time in decades and by a chain reaction trump probably won't get along with a bunch of other countries either yes all those nations who decided to stay in the deal reiterating their support for it is deal is not a bilateral treaty it's a un security council resolution and it belongs to the entire words no single country alone and destroyed a deal of can undo the deal because all the others stay in did trump see this coming the rift with his own allies probably doesn't matter that much after all the america first mantra got trump elected and if you don't get it you're in for a life lesson they. understand. life because i don't think they

do understand we keep pedia has a whole article on american exceptionalism and this tirade could very well at a section to it we get it mr trump you say understand life we hear understand how america wants it and roll over and play and here's why according to trump everyone should be on board with his iran decision if you look at what's happening in the middle east with syria with yemen with all of the places they're involved it's bedlam and and we can't allow that to happen what a set of arguments apparently it's ok to support saudi arabia and their bombings of your. and a deadly come pain that resulted in the world's worst man made him in a terran crisis all courtesy of american weapons american logistical support and american intelligence and with syria i must have missed the moment when iran joined

the u.s. in sending money and weapons to g. hardest armed groups seeking regime change trump has laid out a list of demands to iran most notably he called on to iran to drop the quote quest to destroy israel an explicit indicator of who trumps trying to court him and this is how we run feels about trump's move. and the american flag isn't the only thing in tatters now so is the iran nuclear deal which has left europe scrambling for a response in it is never good for us to break the laws that we ourselves helped to create 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 one thing is clear though they won't be taking a leaf out of donald's art of the deal well donald trump didn't heed the calls from europe and signed off on a new round of sanctions against iran and if it's likely to hit the european business hard as daniel bushell explained those sanctions of back iran probably doesn't care much as had them in one shape or other for four decades washington shooting itself in the foot surely not. the e.u. sent way over ten billion euro of 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 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 too that's a mistake i think it's not right to you know i don't know i canceled you know that was agreed upon that was you know honestly approved in the u.n. security council that diminishes confidence in the international order right after trump's announcement on his very first day on the job new u.s. ambassador to burley and tweeted the following or minus 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 what do we want to be bustles now what a baby blindly to what americans tell them or do we want us europeans to say that we have economic interests and we want to have economic relations with iran so long

as it helps the us economy right trumps a businessman after all he must know how to all 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 jobs or jobs good jobs and even richer 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. are a space 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 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. on wednesday russia marked victory day and the defeat of nazi germany in world war two it's a special event here where the war claimed to have a twenty six million soviet lives and hardly a family in a country that wasn't affected and now on a special margin is the emotional regiment is held every year.

victory day has passed and him and for us too many people have relatives who for the nazis correspondents join the crowds in central moscow. it's all about the people whose faces are in these many many portraits. you can hear the harangue that's also another remarkable feature of this march again back to the people and the portraits they survived the years of war and this is an memory of all of them a few years ago i promise to myself that in the next four years. every time touring victory day i'm going to take one of the portraits of one of my four great grandfathers and i'm keeping the promise and this is mikhail vibrance of who is the

grandfather of my mom what he did like pretty much everyone else here on these portraits is first defended his motherland to make the nazis rich street and then he got a medal for liberating the city that's now known as kaliningrad i'll go to the trial myself but it's easy to overestimate just what imus fear this is i can feel the emotions coming from the crowd on i found out more about my family as well my great grandmother media all can have a doctor a military so she checked she participated in the bottom of mosco she was on the front lines here full of many months. during that same battle before trucks firing further back and so russia when she was the only searching for this ship for quite some time in the form of hundreds of operations at all the relatives of my great products could do so but to do it was a soldier in the force of the battle of stalingrad where he sadly died today of

course so this year brother is the anniversary of the victory at the bottle it keeps turning points on the east front on a blog called soup millions of people botching worldwide cities across europe but live by trade law on the list but across that i had to give guided states truly a global event so all of those people that made their contribution i did many millions of cases gave up their lives for peaceful about it see for mankind. are israeli forces use live rounds against gandhi occupation protesters this week on the gaza border i've got the details for you after this short break.

so some officials do not. fully understand or do not fully accept the principle of football being beyond politics that's a fundamental principle of the world for both. were granted some people may have opinions but it's their own opinions and doesn't influence opinions of the many other football fans who are buying tickets every day in large volumes. for a world cup twenty eight team coverage we've signed one of the greatest goalkeepers of all time but there was one more question and by the way it's going to be our coach. guys i know you are nervous he's a huge star among us and the huge amount of pressure come out you have to go meet

eighty percent of the beach but probably with you and the great game the greatest game you are the rock at the back nobody gets past you we need you to get down there we have to go. alone and it doesn't worry you and i'm really happy to join our for the two thousand and three and world cup in russia. this special one was also appreciated me to just say the review the r.t. team's latest edition may go up as we go. to jersey look. welcome back anti israel demonstrations continued on the gaza border this week where two palestinians have been killed and nearly two hundred more reportedly wounded their protests marks the final days of the annual rally against occupation known as the great march of return israeli forces used live rounds and take us to disperse the

crowds along the border. was. was cool. palestinians have also started to find new ways to vent their anger attaching fire bombs to kites and flying them over the border fence into israeli held territory here's how they described the new tactic because it is this device is comprised of a piece of cloth which needs to be sung throughout with gasoline or diesel that would burn for longer because i cause as large scale farms on territories occupied

in one nine hundred forty eight your heart is really small it was warned that they would fire upon anyone that launches a kite but we're not afraid of their bullets the shells of 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 the israeli defense forces have said they will continue their operation against the protests which they deem a terrorist activity israel has also repeatedly stated it has the right to defend its borders while israelis and palestinians are divided on the border in jerusalem both are protesting against the upcoming relocation of the u.s. embassy there jerusalem has long been a point of contention in the region and the american move is seen by many as recognition that the city is a part of israel the relocation is show george the monday palestinians have already said they're planning large protests against it. on

wednesday jena housefull the probably us. dent's nominee to be the new director of the cia spoke before the senate intelligence commission hearing focused mainly on the cia's controversial and hard interrogation program which is widely seen as torture protesters gathered in washington to denounce house nomination takes up the story trump's really pushing gina haskell is the perfect candidate strong really strong smart tough and with thirty years of juji behind her so why all the hate one highly respected nominee for cia director gina her school has come under because she was too tough on terrorists tough and terrorists meaning she ran a secret cia detention center where she those under her reportedly tortured

prisoners by the way the videotapes which allegedly documented some of the most horrific tortures were destroyed by the cia and the other reasons to vouch for her there's no one more qualified to be the first woman to lead the cia than thirty plus year cia veteran gina has spoke any democrat who claims to support women's empowerment and our national security but opposes her nomination is a total hypocrite. interesting how someone's gender is now a factor when selecting a new cia had great argument as well that's like telling all black people all white people to only vote for the candidate of their skin color after seven years of leadership by white men it's time for a woman to. just not this woman all of us that we're tough on terrorism that doesn't mean that you have to ignore the constitution of the united states and to ignore international law to prove that you're tough personally i worked for jena

high school i don't care if you know i suppose a man or a woman or a combination of the two she's not right for this job now gina who apparently had no problem torturing tied up suspects is allegedly squeamish about the confirmation hearing all those tough questions in public do you believe the program in terms that you interrogation program was consistent with american values we have decided to hold ourselves to a stricter moral standard are they consistent with american values senator i believe very strongly in american values i want to trust that you have the moral compass that you said you have i have conducted myself honorably and in accordance with u.s. law do you believe that the previous interrogation techniques were immoral what i believe sitting here today is that i support the higher moral standard we have decided to hold ourselves to answer the question. and i think i've answered the

question i have not but trump has said back don't tell me it doesn't work to what your works ok folks ought to go you know have these guys torture doesn't work believe me it works ok trump was applauded for that and many are of course against haskell. and for their troubles that targeted with this and many respects. almost. the prospect of. the nominee making incriminating evidence on gina has book secret so that the american people couldn't see on t.v. that she was indeed the torture in chief of al no shiri in thailand make it go to the close session that was too much and that's why i got up and i said that i said senator wyden is entitled to a direct to an honest answer on that question fortunately those resisting the load

. protesters places all across the country they're facing charges they're facing felony counts often getting be brutalized by the state certainly becoming more aggressive or certain we need to stop one hundred nine retired generals and admirals have urged the u.s. senate to reconsider given had ties to you know torturing human beings but make no mistake if the form of torture a gets the job despite everything many many people will cheer and applaud the senate intelligence committee is expected to have a confirmation vote on hospitals appointment next week it will then be followed by a full senate session later this month looking back at the top of the out of the latest headlines and join us then.

the politics in washington not been driven by the fossil fuel energy lobbyist they could have gone into renewables ten twenty years earlier and those jobs would be in place generating good paying jobs in america would be part of a growing world beating industry because they kowtow to those lobbyist they got stuck in the coal business which it up liberated by the gas business which is a dodgy for a lot of reasons and now it's going to be obliterated by the chinese led revolution in solar. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race. theory dramatic development the only move really. i don't see how that strategy will be successful at very critical time to sit down and talk.
