it is reported the man who carried out the stabbing in paris on saturday was on a security forces watch list for his extremist views he was shot and killed by police after killing one person and injuring several others. came down this road is covered in blood holding a knife. plus among the stories that shape the week european leaders refuse to be walked to washington's line after president abandons the iran nuclear deal with one key adviser now saying he cannot rule out sanctioning companies who do business with iran also ahead this hour. two palestinians are killed and dozens injured as the protests continue on the

border between gaza and israel ahead of the u.s. embassy's move to jerusalem. and russia marks seventy three years since a victory in world war two with a record ten million people marching nationwide to honor relatives who fought for freedom. by broadcasting live coverage from our studios in moscow recapping the week's top stories with our weekly program this is r t international it is being reported the suspect behind a knife attack in paris on saturday was viewed by french intelligence as a possible threat to national security the man who is thought to have been a chechen born french citizen was shot and killed after he killed a passer by in the city's opera district and four others were also injured in the assault two of them seriously. this photo was taken from

a nearby balcony and appears to show the crime scene now while this video has also been circulated in the wake of the incident and shows people fleeing the area in panic here you can see forensic experts inspecting the site now the attack took place took place in the center of paris just north of the louvre museum it is an area popular with tourists and is teeming with cafes and bars and restaurants eisel says it was behind the attack though we cannot verify that information i saw early reports now from the city. it was here that the attack took place late on saturday evening in the very busy offer district of paris people were shouting for the police and we saw a guy lying on the street right on the cross walk with blood on his shirt if i had been run over or maybe. and it took us a little while to figure out he had maybe just been stabbed in the course of that

attack the police fired shots in order to kill the terrorists and actually we can see some of the bullet holes in one of the ball windows some news has emerged of the terrorists who carried out that attack he's thought to be a chechnyan who received french citizenship in two thousand and ten and interestingly he was known to police he had been put on a list of people who had known extreme views and that follows a pattern we've seen repeatedly. many instances of people who have carried out terrorist attacks they've been known to police and once they've carried out those attacks it's then emerged later on and we have seen that there have been meetings held by the interior ministry to try to establish more information about the terrorists who carried out that many of those who were present at the time sought

refuge in this restaurant lunch on day which is a british restaurants and something which many people have seen here in paris many times before civilians fleeing for safety and ducking into restaurants and bars to get away from danger we were standing in the street looking what was happening and the attacker came down this road here with his hands covered in blood holding a knife. we had three policeman on foot here and he went towards them. they tried to taser him twice didn't work. either managed to isolate one of them and. moved down the street attacking trying to attack him and there were two shots fired and. he was shot dead two meters in front of the restaurant it comes on the first anniversary of the eve of the first anniversary of

the rule of manuel not chrome and that would lead presumably to the same questions that will being asked of mr all the doubts are being raised whether he could provide security for france's citizens and mr marquand will be hoping he doesn't face the same accusations. now since in two thousand and fifteen well over two hundred people have lost their lives in terror attacks in france most deadly so far had paris in november of that year there have also been many smaller scale incidents across the country like the latest one on saturday night in many cases not only in france but also in europe it has turned out afterwards that the perpetrators were actually known to police. it it was.

we discussed this with charles shoebridge a security analyst and former counterterrorism intelligence officer he says security services can never be one hundred percent effective at preventing attacks any terror attack getting through is in one way or another a failure of the intelligence services because the primary aim is to prevent these

attacks but i want to clear when i want to keep perhaps we should also say that depending on the circumstances it isn't possible we have to accept that it is impossible to keep everybody under surveillance all of the time nor would anybody want that situation it may be that there are more deserving suspects of surveillance at the moment but that would depend on the facts that were taken each can say to consideration at the time but at the same time there always will be people who will get through especially in a case like this where it hasn't appeared to have acquired any proper preparation or indeed any if you like coconspirators that might have reported on into the or thought is now as we heard our correspondent ali say earlier in his report the latest attack comes as the french. president prepares to mark his first year in office and in paris thousands have marched against emanuel micron's pro-business economic reforms protesters say that the changes represent an assault on workers' rights is just the latest in a series of rallies across france in recent months the number which have been

marred by violence and clashes with police. and the rift in european and american relations widened of this week after donald trump decided to pull out of the iran nuclear deal now his national security adviser says it is possible that companies could face sanctions if they continue doing business with iran is the u.s. going to impose sanctions on european companies that continue to do business with iran i think it did give the answer you get older age the answer is it's possible it depends on the conduct of other governments now donald trump announced on tuesday that he is pulling the u.s. out of the nuclear agreement with iran sparking anger among the e.u. leaders. i am announcing today that the united states will withdraw from the iran nuclear deal. and i think it is not right to you know let's really cancel a deal that was agreed upon screening and shouting insulting and bullying that

diminishes confidence in the international order systematically destroying and dismantling everything what do we want to be fossils that would be blinded to what americans tell them if you can 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. are the deal was signed in two thousand and fifteen after years of difficult talks as a result europe started doing business with iran after sanctions were eased these are some of the major firms likely to take a hit and now that the u.s. is withdrawing from that agreement plane maker air bus faces perhaps the biggest losses it has signed contracts worth more than twenty billion dollars with tehran iranian officials meanwhile have described america's move as unlawful and said tehran is preparing to restart its nuclear program its president has said though that he will speak with the other signatories to the deal first more details now

from what he's got to start off. 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 would 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 but can't 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'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 yemen 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 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 rules 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 whole world trust the united states or and their treaty or negotiate a treaty or a deal with the united states if one president or a plaything another president in the gate on that deal he put american trust american credibility on the line and here that american does not on our it's word. clashes erupted in jerusalem earlier as israelis celebrated the anniversary of the one thousand nine hundred sixty seven annexation of the eastern part of the holy city the violence comes ahead of what looks set to be a rocky week for the religion for the region excuse me within the u.s.

there was you know. the riots have been escalating over the past couple of weeks gaza protesters have been using kites as weapons sending kites containing grenades and flames across the border a couple of days ago about fifteen thousand palestinians burned tires and threw grenades pipe bombs and stones at i.d.f. soldiers at the gaza border and the idea for spotted with tear gas meanwhile israel has said it will do whatever it can to defend itself and prevent clashes at the borders there were clashes taking place throughout the day today at the temple mount and all over jerusalem including physical altercations that led to several arrests police say people broke the rules of conduct and the circumstances would be thoroughly investigated the i.d.f. has doubled the amount of troops at the borders the un has voiced concern about israel using excessive force against civilians and i'm particularly worried about

to be in the coming days with the u.s. embassy move through some of monday and with a planned group of some guns and take us with you to them again. in israel to be very careful and calibrated the code uses force in addressing the protestors and goes but also call on some us and the leaders of the protests in gaza to prevent friction to prevent situations in which provoke issues can happen the situation is rather heated and we'll have to see what happens in the coming weeks there have also been protests in jerusalem against in the relocation of the u.s. embassy opponents of the move see it as legitimate israel's occupation of the eastern part of the city and reducing the likelihood of a two state solution more demonstrators are expected next week. meanwhile there will be a cultural test of attitudes to jerusalem this time next year after israel won the your vision song contest on saturday meaning it gets to stage the next event after

triumphing with her song toy which was inspired by the anti harassment me two campaign singer neta invited everyone to jerusalem the invite was echoed by the israeli prime minister but the feelings running high over the holy city people have been speaking out on twitter how can your vision celebrate diversity and inclusion when steps away palestinians are getting shot in the head your vision is about to get very ugly absolute joke by the way let's not go to jerusalem until they stop murdering palestinian children israel is celebrating diversity through shooting unarmed protesters in gaza with snipers how will your vision be open for real diversity next year in jerusalem can all city residents celebrate equally i'm following anyone who says that attend your a vision in jerusalem next year yes yes it's just a music competition i'm sure all of the palestinian children that die in the next

a medal for liberating the city that's now known as kaliningrad. on wednesday the u.s. senate intelligence committee held hearings on it gina who is president trump's nominee to be the new cia director questions focus on her links to the agency's controversial enhanced interrogation program which is widely seen as torture and what on god's day of comments. trumps really pushing jena high school is the perfect candidate strong really strong smart tough and with thirty years of juicy behind 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 center she those under her reportedly tortured prisoners by the way the videotapes which. allegedly documented some of the most horrific

torches were destroyed by the cia gina has 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 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 a back don't tell me it doesn't work to what your works ok folks tortured but you don't 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 these many respects. the prospect of national nominee making incriminating evidence on. secret so that the american people could see on t.v.
