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 mean while 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 i'm particularly worried about it would be unbecoming days with the u.s. embassy move through some of. them and with a plan to group. take this opportunity again to. to be very careful

and calibrated the code uses force in the dressing the protesters and goes but also call. them believers 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 the relocation of the u.s. embassy opponents of the move see it as israel's occupation of the eastern part of the city and reducing the likelihood of a two state solution or demonstrations are expected next week. meanwhile attitudes about the status of jerusalem will be tested this time next year after israel won the your vision song contest on saturday that means it gets to host the next event and winning singer took the top spot with her song toy which was inspired by the anti harassment me two campaign she then welcomed everyone to jerusalem in two

members of his party did not show up for the vote however many expected the pro independence candidate to win office in the next round catalonia has been without a president since october last year after madrid decided to dissolve the regional parliament and to remind you it was then that catalogs held a referendum on whether they wanted to be independent from spain but was dubbed the illegal by madrid and police used force against people in line at the polls even nine hundred injured madrid's handling of the cattle on crisis has been widely criticized.

all right meanwhile the spanish chapter of amnesty international has released a new report accusing madrid's prosecutors of trying lack of interest in investigating police actions against a voter's human rights watchdog says that the prosecutor's disqualify complaints hindering authorities from looking into the facts and it also said that rubber bullets allegedly used by police during the referendum clashes should be banned back in october madrid's representative apologized for the excesses of officers and during the vote thomas harrington professor of hispanic studies at trinity college thinks amnesty's report makes clear who was to blame for the violence. what we're seeing here is a senate judicial already that has been highly politicized over several years and it is now being beginning to run up against the reality of international institutions. so this is going on for a number of years now and what has happened in madrid is that there is

a media reality that says that the catalans are the people that are using going to us when in fact it's just the opposite and so the spanish authorities have no interest in discovering or investigating their own use of violence which in fact is the only going to it's been used in the process it's really the sort of case self-induced delusion that is now coming are. so excited as there is such as in this international in the international troops in to get a better all of what was going on and what is going on. on wednesday russia marked victory day and the defeat of nazi germany in the second world war the anniversary is considered particularly important because the war claimed more than twenty six million so we had lice there is almost no family that was not affected to honor those who served a special event known as the immortal regiment march is held every year.

people here bringing photographs pictures or even just names of loved ones they lost although you see just contributed to that great victory i found out more about my family as well my great grandmother in media all going to a doctor of military service and she actually participated in the battle of moscow she was on the front lines here full of many months and all the relatives of my great granddaughter could do small to dylan was a soldier he falls in the battle of stalingrad when he sadly died millions of

petersburg the city was completely surrounded by german forces for eight hundred seventy two days because of the blockade all major supply routes were cut off with only one exception the famous road of life running across the frozen lake like a. we know that your boots it was june and we blocked out dutch and then my dad appeared with a changed look on his face and said it's war but i'd like to discuss it i had never had it before my dad gave me a little slap to stop my joking around to spend then actually it's me cicily unclenched.

on wednesday the u.s. senate intelligence committee held hearings on gina haskell who is presidential nominee to be the new cia director questions focused on her links to the agency's controversial enhanced interrogation program which is widely seen as torture and here's what i've got to have take up the story. trump's really pushing gina haskell is the perfect candidate strong really strong smart tough and with thirty years of juicy behind so why all the hate one 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 her reportedly tortured prisoners

by the way the videotapes which allegedly documented some of the most horrific tortures were destroyed by the cia gina haskell 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 what your works ok folks 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 these and many respects. the prospect of jena asked.
