the soldiers for this is why the i.d.f. is shooting or only those who approach the fence are trying to cross it and have been the campaign of hamas is wrong already for six weeks going on and these were warned from the beginning not to get close to the fence and not to try to cross it those who do not obey the idea. or the right to cross and carry out their attacks on the soldiers there's no other alternative then to shoot them so i think that any army in the world would act in the same way as the israeli army will ask disagree with you sir i do think that the spike in death and the spike in violence has a lot to do with trunks decision on it the embassy move in as we're seeing today thousands of people are out in protest and we're most likely going to see a lot more violence as well now western european envoys weren't present at netanyahu celebration ceremony when that chance decision was made over the embassy
10:31 am
although they were invited do you think this marks a worsening of israeli ties with europe. other things so i don't see the european countries making any crisis with the american administration they over the moving of the embassy to jerusalem even though their friendship president even when mccaw vies the abu mazin mahmoud abbas there the palestinian authority to wait and see the full. deal of the century the peace plan the new peace pennell president trump and not to make conclusions before you see the whole a new peace plan so in even look at the american the arab countries you know the jerusalem is not only important to the palestinians it's also important to the arab countries i don't see any demonstrations in the arab countries violent demonstrations are peaceful demonstrations in the arab world the concerning the
10:32 am
moving of the embassy but nobody's making any violence so and even the arab countries are not willing to go and make a conflict with the american. administration over the moving of the embassy on the contour of the saudi arabia and egypt are trying to persuade the palestinian authority to wait and give stein a for future negotiation so i think the holy palestinian response is exaggerated as i told you a hamas the main motivation of hamas for these demonstrations is concerning the israeli siege these really siege for eleven years on gaza strip and not the moving of the embassy to jerusalem mr monaghan use that there is not if one has a right to contain these protests and to protect its borders we've seen the crowds of protesters as you have and everybody has there's people of all ages i believe in children in those crowds do you condone the use of live ammunition against those protesters. of course we condone but you also have to condemn the
10:33 am
the use of children women and older people as human shields this is what hamas is doing is sending them to the to the border close to the border in order to get short and using them as a human shield this have been done also in previous. military confrontations with hamas they're using the civilians as human shields and of course people who may get hurt now today with the meeting with the opening of the embassy in jerusalem it's going to be happy day for it's well of course celebrations on your side but you can't tonight it's going to be huge protests it's going to be thousands of people out it's going to be a very dramatic day what do you expect from that day. i think is a great danger that this will be a very violent day and only oh not only today also tomorrow because tomorrow is the
10:34 am
knockabout day where the palestinians are protesting against the establishment of the state of. seventy years ago so i think these two days very crucial and very dangerous and i'm afraid that if they will try to infiltrate into israeli territory is a gross the fence in spite of the warning of the i.d.f. we might see a lot of casualties political analysts here you've been monahan thank you for your time thank you for joining us on r.t. thank you. now mean other news with the twenty eight hundred football world cup exactly one month away a british newspaper has been warning fans to expect a bruising from panicle finances it takes a series by a serbian photographer who had been working in moscow to highlight the supporters will be given a hostile welcome however the creator says his work has been taken out of context artist anya hawkins takes a closer look. as thousands of england fans pack their bags for russia this summer
10:35 am
it seems one thing they won't be needing are travel guides forget trip advisor or lonely planet the sun has all the crucial info along with a handy photo guide it's not for the faint hearted though ultraviolence images ahead of the world cup uses some pretty hard hitting photos from a twenty fifteen project by a serbian photographer known as boogie well the images and captions certainly make an impression nationalistic pro-government messages labeled this photo of army cadets a tattooed pensioner next men drinking and smoking in broad daylight a woman with a bruised face perhaps a victim of those very russian football thugs with a few references to ultras and drinking thrown in the article then finishes with a classic touch it all makes for a pretty grim picture of the upcoming world cup although some comments under the piece certainly seem to disagree i would invite the sun to roam around some of america's inner cities in the heartland cleveland detroit chicago baltimore and
10:36 am
take pictures that knights report back on what you find if you still alive absolutely nothing connecting any of these photos with football hooliganism two men share a smoke and a beer in broad daylight oh my god satan so let's assume for just a moment these are all russian bots and trolls don't take their word for it we caught up with the photographer himself to see what he made of the sun story clearly. and that really trusted. that article would be it would be a wrong move follows a liver as soon it would be anything like this would be about my. health wrong he was context is everything and looking at that article those found some of what will trip seemed more like a nightmare journey to more door. the
10:37 am
fact is. things are usually characters that i doubt i think even if. i was it. is going to. be the real situation and i'm going to be perfectly suited there are the rules governing me and i feel safe don't get us wrong these tough been portrayed saw a stark reality of what you can find here in russia as in every major world city but how does that relate to football many would agree that tabloid press pieces should be taken with a pinch of salt but this article is just one drop in the ocean of stories featuring the horrors of russia and its football thugs waiting around every corner to jump unsuspecting visitors although none of that seems to have put off the tens of thousands of foreign fighters who've snapped up their tickets and will arrive here in just a few weeks from now well we've requested the star newspaper to comment on the photographer's claims that he was so told as he had asked to remove the article
10:38 am
will update you as and when we hit a response well the world cup has also fallen into the crosshairs of a diplomatic route between russia and the u.k. it's seen british m.p.'s on the royal family decide to boycott the showpiece tournament while for the first time in eighty years no british referees will be officiating at the world cup sophie shevardnadze asked russia's favor chief for the twenty eighteen organizing organizing committee whether all this will affect the events. frustrates us is that 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. we've agreed that some people may have opinions but it's their own opinions it doesn't influence opinions of many other football fans who are buying tickets every day at large volumes we have very good ticket sales people vote for the world cup in russia with their money our
10:39 am
british fans still buy the tickets yes large numbers decent numbers and. and there was some among leaders in europe it's a personal decision whether. whether to come to watch and support your own team or not. people will miss miss out on this opportunity it has no reflection of the world on the world cup so. we're back to our top story now palestinians in gaza on the west bank are protesting against the u.s. embassy move from tel aviv to jerusalem i viewed as a show of america's bias towards israel the opening of a new facility is expected to happen in a few hours time we've been bringing you live pictures from the protests throughout the day we're now joined by local journalist mohammed how my issues in ramallah where protests over the embassy relocation are also taking place mohammed good to
10:40 am
see you can you give us a feel of what's happening in the city right now and what should we expect throughout the day. here in the near the kalandia checkpoint in ramallah which is considered by many palestinians to be the northern entrance of jerusalem protesters are arriving to demonstrate against the embassy move you can see many of the protesters have actually set fire to several tires in the area with the smoke covering the area and that israeli soldiers have set themselves along the wall and along the checkpoint to keep the protesters buc similar demonstrations are said to occur. as well as hebron and as well as bit let him where the situation across the west bank is tense in general on this day once for the next day and another for the relocation of the american embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem. meanwhile in the city of ramallah near the center of the. in the fischel commemoration has been organized by the coliseum authority and several other activists and members of the
10:41 am
national and islamic forces to mark this day to raise their voices in rejection of the american. decision against the embassy. while in other places of the west bank pledges of already began in villages and in areas outside of ramallah and outside of the major cities we can expect to see more protests we can expect to see some violence later on in the day as more people join these protests. in union against the american decision. like a journalist mohammed to my engine ramallah thank you for now. now in other news indonesia has been hit with terror attacks for a second consecutive day the latest explosion took place at a billet police station headquarters in the country's second biggest city of a buyer a day after triple suicide bombings on churches in the very same city and c.c.t.v. camera captured the moment of the attack on the police h.q. which left at least ten people wounded it was carried out by members of one of
10:42 am
family including a ten year old girl who survived the blast it's believed the explosions that targeted church goers on sunday was also the work of a single family thirteen people were killed and dozens more injured islamic state has taken responsibility for those attacks but so far no one has claimed to be behind the latest explosion. now it's a year since emanuel mccrone was inaugurated as the president of france but for many in the country his reforms have fallen short of expectations he's also accused of cronyism and running a virtual monarchy in paris thousands marched against mccraw pro-business economic reforms the protesters say the changes represent an assault on workers' rights it's just the latest in a series of rallies across france in recent months the number of which have been marred by violence and clashes with police president mccrone is now under even more
10:43 am
pressure following the knife attack in paris on saturday night a man of church in origin for one person to death and. it did for others in the french capital he was then shot dead by police islamic state earlier released a video allegedly showing the attacker pledge allegiance to the terrorist group our correspondent schaller dubinsky has more on the crank turbulent first year in office. discontentment on the streets violent confrontations force used to subdue the testers this is from it's one thing to mock one's first term in office twelve months ago call it stood here to much fun fact he had just won the election he was riding on high little did he know perhaps that his real battle was just about to begin reforming the working code provoked
10:44 am
a backlash that pushed ahead of workers went on strike today for everything he's done to benefit the rich to give funds and subsidies to big companies the multinationals. he's an old true liberal who thinks his bosses his friends but on about the small people say yes at that he's against everyone who works against the pensioners against the students. some also argue that much corn has consolidated and concentrated power and by hand picking his m.p.'s who now have outright control of the national assembly he has ensured that his way is the only way. even the grassroots members of his own party have voiced frustration with his leadership saying it's not inclusive and their opinions don't count many are also unhappy that he's bypassed parliament to push through
10:45 am
some reforms by decree rather than a vote meanwhile not gone he said he's proud of these choices and hate. thing to constantly explain his reasoning get us closer to jim in that there is a catastrophic he's a general attack on everything that makes of the french identity and its history it means everything we've succeeded in constructing over the centuries he has checked it out it's been thrown in the been shackled to. every announcement every new law those prepared encroaches a little more in our democracy whether it be on the judicial level or business level or concerning constitutional reform. his bringing down all the values of the french republic he's turned his back on them the way the system set up is it sometimes described as a republican more the key that was how it was conceived and how it's meant to be run it's meant to give for olds stroll. or for or to footnote authoritarian
10:46 am
leadership but i don't think it's he's on democrats there is you know held to power balance to his to his power many in france same corner is like a king who doesn't understand his subjects his supporters say he's carrying out the pledges that he was elected on unlike his predecessors he isn't backing down to social pressure but with another four years left to go one former president has given my call a warning those who say the people are looking for a king should never forget they're in a country where the monarch had his head cut off we also the presidential administration to respond to the accusation of his critics but they declined to respond solid. paris about with a lead to the top of the hour see that.
10:47 am
about your sudden passing i've only just. aren't you worried a self in taking your last term. cut up to you as we all knew it would i tell you i'm sorry i could so i write these last words in hopes to put to rest these things that i never got off my chest. i remember when we first met my life turned on each breath. but then my feelings started to change you talked about more like it was a game still some are fond of you those that didn't like to question our arc and i secretly promised to never be like it said one does not leave a funeral the same as one enters my mind it's consumed with death this one quite different i speak to you now because there are no other takers. to blame that mainstream media has met its maker.
10:48 am
the united states has always had the right things to noons in its tax on other countries. economic sanctions or are often just the beginning another thing you like to do is place some military pressure on the country music you're talking about. their past to be an effort to demonize that country and the leader of that country because. we have a responsibility for the hate. and we need to make grains for the rest of them because without us there will be chaos.
10:49 am
but holds unhinged you should continue to. put themselves on a lot begin to show they will reject. so when you want to be president or injury. or some want to be brits. it's a way to be for us that's what before us three in the morning can't be good that i'm interested always in the waters about our. first sip. manufacture consent to public wealth. when the ruling classes protect themselves. with the crime of. the woman. in the middle the routes to.
10:50 am
the real news room. hello welcome to sophie and sophie shevardnadze they face the world cup world's
10:51 am
biggest sporting spectacle is coming to russia teams from all over the planet will dick it out for that color to price on stadiums from the black sea to the baltic. but just one last ago how ready is the country for once in a lifetime event well i ask i. had only twenty eighteen face i was cup russia organizing committee. as kickoff for twenty eighteen feet for world cup i just closer russian cities. going to the last minute adjustments and checkups making sure everything is up to standard the world sport's greatest tournaments from home availability to free intercity trains to scald free tickets and more and stadiums every three world cup ready for russia's chance to shine what is new and unique about this year's championship and is the country well prepared to handle the unprecedented influx of tourists for the competition. it's really great to have you
10:52 am
on our program today welcome thank you right so you took part in preparations for the sochi olympics obviously the world cup in terms of infrastructure in terms of scale a much bigger thing eleven cities twelve stadiums does that make the world cup more complex organizational kind of you. well we traditionally did not compare the two events they are very different one is multi-sport event and one city we have a single sport event which is scattered throughout european part of russia but. it is it is complex it is indeed multifaceted it involves a lot of fans who come to russia who want to see great football inside russia russian citizens. in general almost three million tickets are distributed for the world cup so it is a grand event you seem very calm and confident during one of the operational visits
10:53 am
to russia fifth officials were saying while washing facilities were progressing on track but the devil is in they tell us what details do they mean and what kind of details do the general public may. well it's hard for me to say which details they meant the world cup is about details world cup has very specific requirements for all the venues for all stadiums. regular stadiums which are used for. national league games they could not instantly host the world cup they need additional preparation for the need of the patient. and that's what we're doing right now all the stadiums are ready and there will finish adaptation work for for the world cup itself the decoration of the stadiums the fine tuning of the stadiums and there will be completely ready for the world cup so this is happening do you have a wake last minute catastrophists that you have to deal with i mean we always think
10:54 am
not going to see this in the news like something that you can look back and laugh right now behind the scenes stuff. catastrophe would be a very strong word but. usually something happens yes we do we think that we. undertook as much precautions as we could. we hope that everything will go towards the plan but usually something happens yes we we've seen big football tournament where. pictures have been replaced between the matches we've seen. in the past matches that were delayed or or even removed postponed. but we have nothing like that happens but russia will cook during the test runs the new stadiums on a show for the world cup have seen enormous queues and traffic going in and out are going to make sure that the fans are going to be watching the game from the queue and sever their seats while in every city we have
10:55 am
a very detailed the very thought through transport plan. this plan will be tested during three matches which will take place at every city before the world cup. these test matches are a good indication to us whether the our plans work whether the venue works in general for the big crowds of people or then if something doesn't work would change it but usually we would come fully prepared if you saw luzhniki how would some fruit over two matches. the same thing will happen with every stadium so the white house has issued a travel warning for fans going in the world which was. the american white house washington at fifa pat says and the russian officials are saying that the security situation is under control so tell me do americans know something we don't shit i believe. you know security situation is indeed under control we have
10:56 am
a very robust security concept every law enforcement agency is part of it it's part of its inclination to the implementation or we we have tested our security abilities during confederations cup everything worked so we have no reason to believe why it shouldn't or during during the world cup. it said multiple international events there were no security incidents but also we have a good track record of. being able to organize security and safety for all our guests so if which is put this like the plum diplomatic spat aside and talk seriously terrorism isis has threatened attacks during the tournament what extra anti-terrorist measures are in place with all the proper and to terrorist measures will be in place for sure i cannot tell you the specifics but.
10:57 am
every just should be confident that. all the measures are being taken there is. it's a huge effort behind. behind organizing security for everyone. i know that tourist police units will be step list and house. some units already patrolling moscow how different are they from regular police and where are they going to be going there's a new effort we we're also looking at it like anybody else. hopefully there be it's more about the system source rather than policing or taking measures it's about making sure that everybody is comfortable that there is no wishes. that everybody everybody has responses to their questions so it will be my idea would be that it's more about that about assisting and making people
10:58 am
comfortable about the visa situation i mean most of the fans and was in the countries that are going to be taking part and the world cup will need business to come to russia like if you go to the embassy and say i'm going to the world cup it's going to be easier to get a visa will be the situation. is very simple we fulfilled our promise to the. was football community. this world cup is visa free. people should just get an id and with an idea where they can travel visa free. will they can also present. a substitution of a family to your certificate or. even electronic one and they will be let into the country without a visa or fan i.d.'s are you can send by mail it's very simple to apply for it it's free service for every ticket holder and we think it's going to be very
10:59 am
convenient for a bill. your kind of operating in the very on easy political situation coincidentally it just so happens but in the yeah so you can foreign secretary johnson compared world cup in russia to the nazi olympics in one nine hundred thirty six. does that frustrate your work. for what frustrates us is that 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. we've agreed that some people may have opinions but it's their own opinions it doesn't influence opinions of many other football fans who are buying tickets every day at large volumes we have very good ticket sales people vote for the world cup in russia with their money on their resume there is even to take a deficit for for certain games and we're certain that the stadiums are full and
11:00 am
about take the deficit we're going to get to that but tell me our british fans still buy the tickets yes large numbers decent numbers here and. there was a moment among leaders in europe oh that's amazing but those are also a lot of talk about family not coming after this cripple incident and obviously british officials not coming and some of the european politicians also said they were income does that i don't know take away from the status of this tournament it doesn't first every found is equally valuable despite of his professional occupation. it's a personal decision whether or whether to come to watch and support your own team or not well we're glad that some people will miss miss out on this opportunity. but for us. it's a personal decision it has no reflection of the.
