police in paris shoot and kill a man who stabbed one person to death and injured several others near the french capital's main operate house a terror investigation is underway. and in the stories that shaped the week european leaders are refusing to toe washington's line after president trump

withdraws from the iran nuclear deal and imposes new sanctions against iran. i see no clashes intensify on the israeli gaza border and head of the u.s. embassies move to jerusalem leaving two palestinians dead in the violence. and brush marks seventy three years since victory in world war two but a record ten million people marching in cities across the country in honor of relatives who for the nazis. a warm welcome you're watching the weekly here on r.t. international the latest headlines on the stories that shapes the week but first police in paris have shoulder. killed a knife attack

a 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 this photo was taken by a witness from their window and shows the immediate aftermath of the attack r.t. france correspondent lukas to a joined us earlier from paris with the details the attack happened in this very busy district of paris it's a place where there are a lot of restaurants lots of bars here there's the attack happened a bit before nine pm and moments where all the regions and tourists were out side so basically people were eating in restaurants having times its friends and men 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 or him saying a lot of what bar then he has been killed by police officers people were blocked 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. reports in the french media say the attacker was identified by his fingerprints and was known to security forces it's believed he is of chechen origin and around twenty years of age there are also reports that his parents are now in custody witnesses of the attack describes 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 right in front

of a restaurant her friend stepped in and helped otherwise i think he would have continued to attack. all juveniles the trauma i was going home when someone told me that woman was so one there to see for 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 way. france has seen a wave of terror in recent years in which over two hundred people have been killed there would be major attacks like the one on the battle plan theater back in november twenty fifth but also sporadic small scale incidents like the latest one on saturday night former british intelligence officer on a mission and says the attack took place despite the wide ranging powers of the french security services there was a state of emergency was lifted but in fact the new incoming president that crone at the time then institute says a number of the measures from the states and urgency 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 person emerge time and time and time again 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. leaders of europe's major powerhouses have rebelled against their closest ally washington this week the rift was brought about by donald trump's 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 want to 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 does deal it's not a bilateral treaty it's a un security council resolution and it belongs to the entire words no single country alone and destroy the deal but can't undo the deal because all the others stay in did trump see this coming the rift with his own allies probably the answer 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 like we keep the 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 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. and a deadly come pain that resulted in the world's worst manmade humanitarian 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've 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 image 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 but to follow our example you don't

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 despite the course from across the atlantic trans was unrelenting and signed off on a new round of sanctions against iran and it is predicted to hit the european and u.s. business as daniel fishel explains so sanctions of back iran probably doesn't care much as had them in one shape or other for for 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 airbus 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 to this 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 came as armbands as 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 after trump's 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

a diplomatic red line good what do we want to be bustles that would have a blind eye to what americans tell them or do we want us europeans to say look we're having economic interests and want to have economic relations with iran 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 boeing bragged about it in line with trump's favorite mantra i will take jobs back to. the jobs or jobs good jobs and even richer jobs jobs jobs 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 playmaker suhoor china's all over iran like a rash huge energy deals you roll roads and cold hard cash. on wednesday russia marks victory day and the defeat of nazi germany and world war two is a special event where the war claimed over twenty six million soviet lives and hardly a family in the country that wasn't affected and in that honor a special march known as the end mortal regiment is held every year a. victory

day has a personal element for us too many people here have relatives who fought the nazis our correspondents joins the crowds in central moscow. people here bringing these photographs pictures or even just names of loved ones they lost although you see just contributed to that great victory i found all about my family as well my great grandmother in media all going to a doctor a military surgeon she actually participated in the bottle of moscow she was on the front lines here for many months had searing that she battled before transferring further back into russia when she was the only such a flood this ship for quite some time in the form of hundreds of operations on all

the relatives of my great products could do small julian was a soldier in the force in the battle of stalingrad when he sadly died today of course so they see a brother is the anniversary of the victory and bottle it keeps turning points on the eastern front on a cold world so you and millions of people munching well deployed cities across europe madrid london lisbon across the atlantic united states truly a global event so all of those people that made their contribution kind of many millions of cases gave up their lives for peaceful to mine and see for mankind it's all about the people whose faces are in these many many portraits are out there giving here their harangues that's also another remarkable feature of this march again back to the people and the portraits they survived years of war and this is in 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 difference of who is the grandfather of my mom what he did like pretty much everyone else here on these portraits as first event it is motherland to make the nazis rich street and then he got a medal for liberating. the city that's now known as cullinan grad. one of the war's darkest episodes was the siege of leningrad which is now some pater's book the city enjoyed severe food shortages and for one survivor a simple present backbends to the folks powerful members.

when i bet your boots it was june with blood at our dutch and then my dad appeared with a changed look on his face and said it's war i like the school i had never had it for my dad gave me a little slap to stop my joking around with us and then pax it's me chips me and. below the water we had a new year's celebration to talk in the car place such just sit on the benches and gave each one of us the commander with an amazing fruit i don't think i had after each one of these even. the your local obsolete when i grew up did i find out of my mandarin was brought to

me by my accent doctor it was a hole that was in which i wasn't just hold it was a hole from a nazi but. we'll be back after this short break. iran nuclear deal was one 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 i have to analyze betrayed and adversities

confused. the world's press see. 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 football. for granted some people may have opinions but it's their own opinions and doesn't influence opinions of many other football fans who are buying tickets every day in large volumes. welcome back anti israel demonstrations continued on the gaza border this week

where two palestinians have been killed and there is two hundred more reported wounded the protests marked the final days of the annual rally against occupation known as the great small of return israeli forces used live rounds and take us to disperse the crowds along the border. that. listen ians have also started to find new ways to vent their anger attaching fire bombs to colleagues and flying them over the border fence into israeli held territory the israeli defense forces of so that they will continue their operation

against the protests which they deemed terrorist activity israel has also repeatedly stated it has the right to defend its borders one 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 shared for monday and palestinians have already said they're planning large protests against it. there was fear ians condemnation in washington on wednesday china has pulled the u.s. president's nominee to be the news director at the cia was there for a senate intelligence commission confirmation hearing it focused on her links to the agency's controversial and hans interrogation program which is widely seen as torture. 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 when a highly respected nominee for cia director gina her school has come under fire because she was too tough on terrorists tough and terrorists meaning she ran a secret cia detention said she those under 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 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 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 a back don't tell me it doesn't work to what your works ok folks you know. have

these guys torture does it 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 these. many respects. the prospect of. the nominee making incriminating evidence on jena has secret so that the american people couldn't see on t.v. that she was indeed the torture in chief. in thailand make it go to the close or should that was too much and that's where it 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 place all across the country they're facing charges.

felony counts off. the lights by police certainly coming to me are certain we need to stop 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 former torture a gets the job despite everything many many people will cheer and applaud. hundreds of interpreters who worked with the british army in afghanistan are facing the threat of deportation from the u.k. now despite a promise they would be allowed to stay we spoke to one of those potentially affected who says the only thing awaiting him in afghanistan would be death. if they deport me back there is only one tries for me to be killed he doesn't know when but the u.k.

home office has informed abdul bari that he's going to be deported to kabul within the next three months abdul says he can't go back to afghanistan because he worked as a frontline interpreter for british forces from two thousand and eight to two thousand and ten my life is in danger my family and i have some danger threatening me but he told me that you know that he joined the infidels. you've been talking about there was only one chance for me and i must leave the country cost the second time to the mean time to post from family so if they catch me they would definitely just leave the country the british defense secretary gavin williamson has made headlines in recent days by telling the home office that afghan interpreters should be allowed to stay in the u.k. but that reassurance only refers to around four hundred forma interpreters who have been given five year you take these as they expire soon and all the authorities

have done in reality is say that they'll waive the costly renewal fees so those celebrator you had lines don't apply to the six hundred or so former afghan interpreter is still in kabul who have had their asylum claims rejected nor do they applied to be conned full of complicated cases relating to former interpreters who were forced to flee and entered the u.k. illegally like abbeville all of us are delighted that those who've criteria and their families are here and will stay here and that nobody paid any money there are still people who are being looked at and we need to be careful that we don't let it fall through the dense we have a debt of honor to these people and what we mustn't do is leave someone who actually worked for us looked after. also has helped us abdul says he didn't have time to apply for a visa through the official interpreter scheme while he was still in the couple

that required months of waiting and his life was increasingly at risk now abdul's lawyer is appealing the home office's moves to deport him a lot of people like mr bari weren't working in two thousand and twelve because they were threatened and targeted by the taliban hard to quit their jobs and flee it's not really fair but he's got to make this journey to the you care to escape these threats to be told actually go home they're saying it's it's there for him to read we have evidence from former employees not just from the british army but they also he was working with him be in trouble but he really cared to the originators. but evidence suggests he was threatened in trouble. and if he goes back to the same will happen again he will be targeted it comes to its own citizens the u.k. government clearly warns against travel to almost all of afghanistan even districts in the heavily guarded capital kabul it adds that terrorists are very likely to

carry out attacks and methods are evolving and increasing in sophistication but that's apparently safe enough for abdel bari to return as far as the u.k. government is concerned i don't play with a couple loose so you cause thinkable is the most dangerous place in the world at the moment because every day bomb is exploding people are dying and i don't know how the home office is saying the couple is saying i first met abdel a couple of months ago since then his already fragile mental state has worsened. by thirty five. and. that's. so i can do nothing but talk is tentative working and living here sounds like a dream one that any day now. could come crashing down but the arrival of a final deportation letter. attracting some of the biggest
