or ten million people marching in cities across the country in honor of relatives who forced the nancy. a warm welcome you're watching the weekly here on r.t. international for the latest headlines and a roundup of the stories that have shaped the week but first police in paris have shot and killed a knife attacker who killed one person in the opera district on saturday evening four others were injured two of them seriously police are investigating the incident as a terror attack well this photo was taken by a witness from their window and shows the immediate aftermath of the attack on the fronts correspondent luca's two are joined from paris with the details. the attack happened in this very busy district of paris it's a touristy place where there are
3:02 am
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 good times with friends a man assaulted randomly several people with a knife according to witnesses the man was walking in the streets crazy stabbing every people he met on his way then he ran towards police officers apparently should seeing kill me or i q several people are here saying a lot of what 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 an investigation is now opened by the anti terroristic section . i says just claim the responsibility of this attack.
3:03 am
french media claims the attacker was identified by his fingerprints it's believed to years of chechen origin and around twenty years old there are also reports that his parents are now in custody where this is all the attack described the nightmare they experienced. i was working in the restaurant and suddenly i heard a woman screaming she tried to seek shelter in our restaurant she tried to push the door instead of pulling it so she couldn't get inside that is when he attacked right in front of a restaurant her friend stepped in and helped otherwise i think he would have continued to attack a. bald eagle the trauma i was going home when someone told me that woman was so one to see if i could help but people were already taking care of her someone was taken and talked to her dressed to the loons and what are its source she was

stabbed in the. sopranos has seen a wave of terror attacks in recent years in which over two hundred people have been killed there have been major attacks like the batter clan theater back in november twenty fifth been but also sporadic more scale incidents like the latest one on saturday night from a british intelligence officer and the most on suspects the attacker was already known to operatives. there was a state of emergency 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 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 it's already on the radar either with the intelligence agencies or at the very least with the local police. perhaps involved in petty crime we've seen this person emerge time and time and time again in france particularly where people there seems to be an overlap
3:05 am
between the criminality and the radicalization which leads some to carry out such attacks. leaders of europe the major powerhouses have rebelled against their closest ally washington this week the rift was brought about by 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 and 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
3:06 am
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 but can't undo the deal because all the others stay in did trump see this coming their rift with his own allies probably doesn't matter that much after all the america first mantra go trump elected and if you don't get it you're in for a life lesson they've got to understand. life because i don't think they do understand why 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
3:07 am
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 there 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. 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 jihad is dumb 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.
3:08 am
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 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 sells one thing is clear though they won't be taking a leaf out of donald's art of the deal world trust the united states or treaty or new here treaty or a deal with the united states if they're all one president or plaything another
3:09 am
president again on that deal he put american trust american credibility on the line and hear that america does not on their its word. despite the calls from across the atlantic trump was unrelenting and signed off on a new round of sanctions against iran and move this predicted. european and u.s. business as daniel bushell explains. for sanctions of back iran probably doesn't care much as had them in one shape or other for four decades washington shooting itself and allies in the food surely not. the e.u. 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 airbus may be worst hit it signed a nineteen billion dollars deal with tehran just two years ago three billion more
3:10 am
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 unilaterally cancel a deal that was agreed upon that was unanimously approved in the un security council that diminishes confidence in the international order. and it. is money 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. right off the trumps announcement on his very first day on the job new u.s. ambassador to berlin 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
3:11 am
a diplomatic red line is good what do we want to be bustles that would be a blind eye to what americans tell them or do we want us europeans to say that we're having economic interests and want to have economic relations with iran but so long as it helps the u.s. economy right trumps a businessman after all he must know how to all the wheels of trade apparently not . gas prices of top the psychological benchmark of two dollars eighty a gallon almost a painful fifty cents 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 but when bragged about it in line with trump's favorite mantra i would take jobs back. to jobs or jobs good jobs and even richer jobs jobs jobs jobs jobs jobs
3:12 am
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 playmakers suing china's all over iran like a rush huge energy deals you roll roads and in cold hard cash. on wednesday russia marked a victory day and the defeat of nazi germany and world war two it's a special event where the war claimed over twenty six million soviet lives there's hardly a family in the country that wasn't affected and now honor a special march known as the m o two regiments is held every year.
3:13 am
victory day has a personal element for us too many people here have relatives who fought the nazis some correspondents joins the crowds in central moscow. it's easy to overestimate just what up a sphere this is i can feel the emotions coming from the crowd and i found out more about my family as well my great grandmother in media all going to. talk to a military surgeon she actually participated in the battle of moscow she was on the front lines here for many months ago during the battle before transferring further back into russia where she was the only surrogate for this ship for quite some time in the form of hundreds of operations and all the relatives of my great granddad to

3:18 am
you often see a. legal blog selling you on the idea that dropping bombs brings police to the chicken hawks was new to the battle but still leads to new socks for the tell you that would be gossip and tabloid by itself a little bit. off the bat doesn't tell me you are not cool enough to buy their product. all the hawks that we along with all watch. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy from day shouldn't let it be an arms race is on off and spearing dramatic developments only really going to exist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time
3:19 am

a bigger. book. welcome back anti israel demonstrations continued on the gaza border this week where two palestinians have been killed and nearly two hundred more reported wounded the protests marks the final days of the annual rally against occupation known as the great march of return is ready forces used live rounds and tear gas to disperse the crowds along the border. was. that. was.
3:21 am
close to me and have also started to find new ways to vent their anger attaching fire bombs to heights and flying them over the border fence into israeli held territory here's how they described the new tactic. for peace this device is comprised of a piece of cloth is all of which needs to be sung throughout with gasoline or diesel that would burn for longer than the car causes large scale farms 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 they're not returning to the israeli defense forces have said they will continue their operation against the protests which they they deem terrorist activity israel has also repeatedly stated
3:22 am
it has the right to defend its borders what israelis and palestinians are divided on the border in jerusalem both are protesting against the upcoming relocation of the u.s. embassy that jerusalem has long been a point of contention in the region and the american move is seen by many as recognition that the secy is a part of israel's relocation is shared jewel for monday and palestinians have already said they're planning large protests against it. well that was fury and condemnation in. washington on wednesday gina haskell the u.s. president's nominee to be the new director of the cia is that for us senate intelligence commission creditor nation hearing it focused on her links to the agency's controversial and hans interrogation program which is why the scene is torture broadcast you have takes up the story. trump's really pushing gina haskell
3:23 am
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 on before because she was too tough on terrorists tough and terrorists meaning she ran a secret cia detention said 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 committed a crime when she destroyed these tapes that crime at the very least is obstruction of justice the crime also is to classify a crime it's actually illegal in the united states to classify something just because it's embarrassing or because it's a crime that's what she should be answering to why did she destroy the evidence now gina who apparently had no problem torturing tied up suspects is allegedly
3:24 am
squeamish about the confirmation hearing all those tough questions and in public do you believe the program in terms of interrogation program was consistent with american values we have decided to hold ourselves to a stricter moral standards 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 pre. obvious 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 if not but trump has a back don't tell me it doesn't work do what your works ok folks torture but you don't have these guys torture doesn't work believe me it works ok trump was
3:25 am
applauded for that and many are of course against hospital. and for their troubles that targeted with these. many respects. the prospect of national nominee making incriminating evidence on jena asked for secret so that the american people could see on t.v. that she was indeed the torture in chief. in thailand make it go to the close session that was too much and that's where 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 . protestors placed all across the country they're facing charges. felony counts up to. be brutalized by the state certainly becoming more aggressive
3:26 am
more certain and we need to put a stop to one hundred nine retired generals and admirals have urged the u.s. senate to reconsider given how 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. and i knew a ten kilometer running race in the french capital s. being canceled due to the number of homeless migrants come towns along the route and saw the deep end ski reports it's a problem locals had hoped would be solved already. president machen had pledged that by the beginning of two thousand and eighteen no one would be sleeping rough on the streets of france let alone her and yet not only did he fail to deliver on the promise but it's getting worse much worse it's believed that up to one thousand
3:27 am
eight hundred migrants have set up camp along the canal in paris and fears that that could explode to around two and a half thousand in the next few weeks has caused the organizers of the great race to graham paris to cancel the annual event. the ten kilometer race between paris and song to me was teach take place in just over a week's time but this is part of where the run is supposed to come through and as you can see it would be virtually impossible for them to navigate this section of the racecourse these makeshift camps are growing day by day the route is impossible
3:28 am
it is disturbing to have to run the race in the middle of a refugee camp at last year's race around six and a half thousand people took part it was also adopted as part of paris's bid to host the twenty twenty four olympics embodying a couple of the games key objectives solidarity and ecology this cancellation so close to race day has disappointed many you know it's kind of unfair or because of improvising for one time and then you just cancel the last minute just. like they should have reworded it down that's what i think so it's two separate problems you just do your race if your do your race and in the rider problem is something else i think they should fix that they help them more. you know when you walk in the street you can see they're all the people that live on the sidewalks despite pledges to help migrants off the streets the greater paris region currently only
3:29 am
has room to shell to seven hundred and fifty individuals far fewer than the numbers already here a number said to be growing in the hundreds each week organizers say they didn't want the camps to be cleared just so that the race could go ahead reluctant to be seen as a toothless social exclusion but safety concerns meant that they couldn't we reach either participants have been offered refunds or a place in next year's event assuming of course there is one. ski aussie paris or the top of their. some officials do not. fully understand or do not fully accept the principle of football being beyond politics that's a fundamental principle for the world football. were granted some people may have
