all reguard different parts of the old city to be their holy sites and since the formation of the state of israel in one thousand nine hundred eighty eight israel considers jerusalem to be its capital the subsequent conflict with their arab neighbors so israel captured and an extent time a city of jerusalem the move has never been recognized by the united nations. on the idea of establishing the two state solution where israel and palestine exist independently so by president trump announcing moving the embassy to jerusalem he's on the line that the u.s. recognizes the holy city to be the capital of israel for the international community that goes against the notion that any change in the city status should come through negotiations and not a unilateral action has made it very difficult for the palestinian leadership to into any kind of negotiation. international consensus but was there for almost seventy years are clearly. going to consequences

if there's already. three of them including. it's. already. started hearing some negative. responses from some of the european allies and france who see the trying to dictate . moving on to other stories this hour with the twenty eight hundred football world cup exactly one month away it's getting here faster than a british newspaper has been warning fans to expect a bruising from bare knuckle fighters they even used a series by a serbian photographer who'd been working in moscow to highlight that supporters will be given a hostile welcome the only problem they create or say his work has been taken out of context r.t. telling a hawkins takes a closer look. as thousands of england fans pack their bags for russia this summer

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 these are 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 out of 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 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 to be here 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. soon it would be anything like this. whole wrong he was context is everything and looking at that article those found some a football trip seemed more like a nightmare journey to more door. i

. live fact is the weird shoot there is see things. that i think even if i shoot flowers it. is going to look dark has nothing to do with the real situation i'm going to be perfectly suited their world cup me and i. 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 fans who've snapped up their tickets and will arrive here in just a few weeks from now yeah and we have requested comment from the sun on the photographers claims who also told us he'd asked for the article to be removed we will of course

update two hours and when we get a response. well the world cup has also fallen into the crosshairs of a diplomatic row between russia and the u.k. it's seen british m.p.'s and 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 finals sophie shevardnadze asked russia's chief of the twenty eight hundred organizing committee whether all this will affect the event. 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 that 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 who vote for the world cup in russia with their money our british fans still buy the tickets yes large numbers decent numbers you know. there was a moment among leaders in europe it's a personal decision whether or whether to come to watch and support your own team or not were grabbed some people will miss miss out on this opportunity and has no reflection of the world on the world cup itself. it is one year since that money was an orchestrated on the president of france but for many there his reforms have fallen short of expectations he's also accused of cronyism and running a virtual monarchy and parties thousands marched against pro-business economic reforms on sunday they say that changes are an assault on workers' rights it's the

riding on high little did he know perhaps that his real battle was just about to begin reforming the working code provoked 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. is an old true liberal who thinks his bosses are his friends but on about the small people say yes at that he's against everyone who works against the pensioners against and students. some also argue that much corn has consolidated the 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 and. even cross routes 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 some reforms by decree rather than a vote meanwhile con has said he's proud of these choices and hates having to constantly explain his reasoning get us close it edge an attack it's a catastrophe it's a general attack on everything that makes up the french identity it's history and it means everything we succeeded in constructing over the centuries. it is chucked it out it's been thrown in the been shackled in knots every announcement every new law that is prepared encroaches a little more in our democracy whether it be on the judicial level or business level or concerning constitutional reform if. he is 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 and that was how it was conceived and how it's meant to be run it's meant to give france strong. or forward to tiff but not all for a tyrian leadership but i don't think it's he's on democrats there is you know counterpart 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 that people are looking for a king should never forget they're in a country where the monarch had his head cut off we are the presidential administration to respond to the accusation of his critics but they declined to respond solid. paris. the

head of the international atomic energy agency sais iran is continuing to comply with its obligations under the nuclear deal his assessment came during a meeting with the russian president in the resort city of sochi there for us. well despite this summit having very little to do with the issue of the spread of nuclear weapons meeting with the head of the international atomic energy agency has been at the very top of lattimer putin's agenda now to basically discussed how the iran nuclear deal would be fairing from now on with the united states in fact all ditching the whole deal last week now russia's permanent representative the was at the meeting and he said that basically agency's director general has one sick and reiterated that iran is being fully compliant with the deal because the director of

the atomic energy agency has confirmed iran is complying with its obligations under the nuclear deal now iran's foreign minister is also in russia but he's in most school meeting with his russian counterpart sergei lavrov jihad zarif is on sort of a tour he's a meeting with the representatives of the countries who are still in the deal and that's of course everybody except the united states divides a reef seeking a sure and says from those countries that they are still in the deal that they will protect iran's interests even with the u.s. pullout he said that basically the u.s. decision to abandon the deal has knocked it out of balance and europe has also been scrambling to keep the green a life but that comes with a bit of a catch because washington has indicated that it is ready to sanction its european partners into obedience threatening penalties against those european countries that

keep doing business with iran is the u.s. going to impose sanctions on european companies that continue to do business with iran the answer is it's possible it depends on the conduct of other governments not just as a quick reminder back in twenty fifteen when the historic agreement was reached a lot of european countries and to the. iranian business scene now that includes air bus total folks of argan and france has already indicated that it will not let countries be bossed around what do we want to be bustles that wouldn't be blinded to what americans tell them or do we want us europeans to say people have economic interests and want to have economic relations with iran now another is you raised in the talks between vladimir putin and the director general of the i.a.e.a. is the potential denuclearization of north korea and so i asked the russian permanent representative at the agency whether or not the iran example could hamper

the negotiations and the efforts with pyongyang. america's decision to pull out of the nuclear deal wasn't discussed during this meeting so but there are concerns that it could virtually affect efforts to stabilize the situation on the korean peninsula now putin has stressed that russia will be seeking full denuclearization of north korea and north korea in its own turn has also indicated that it could be ready to move in that direction but as we know the deal with iran to years to reach still with north korea we could be in for a long run. ok returning to our breaking news now from gaza health officials there now say at least twenty eight people have been killed by israeli soldiers while running along the border a fourteen year old boy is reportedly among the dead nine hundred others have been injured these are live pictures right now from gas iran four hundred of those

water company is a profitable public firm that supplies cheap water has a more than half a million households a small percentage five point four six is already on by the french multinational su as. the simple domestic any. of them doesn't get them out of this only.

then now and then once she has more to put up with elizabeth. maybe you know if you. are in a moment boy your kid then. they then as a middle class. jobs upon the better santa no. amount of the. d.a.p. is greece's largest water company it provides five point five million people with water. we know by the looks at the afro and or hear it saved up fame they show all hallows by the norse ending as their lives complete excel predicate as the mean of a stationary helmet on

a rebel element at leisure of action or animists emotions never break energy it will mumble more than just tell when a much more efficient girl a ship you might get. to go on a sunday i stop all people it is a strong less than our senate but another strategy. leap yet is a strong last rescale reste for the apocalypse off at least it ought to shape dallas at least it will have been and will not imo participate. as a decision particularly about our. own keys that are dead. fashion across your. there's a. still decision. if you know the city.

and what's a privatisation officially it's not the commission's policia mississippi state however it's true if you look at the troika it's and if you look at the memorandum of understanding between for example the troika and portugal the commission a spot of the troika is asking to further privatized across the book to go so in the troika the commission is still pushing for privatization so if it is really human right if you really are serious to the citizens at today's initiative we should start acting on policies instead of celebration. thank you. thank you. seem able to do this although i wish was sitting. mostly with. your.

sympathies. of appropriate. just like us as you watch fundamental me. that i compose. each could have. this but if it is a so you could if you had. concerns about the pressure being put on southern countries european water movement activists ropes to read. the highlights of the european commission as part of the troika so to force southern european countries mainly greece and portugal to privatized there. they say that is unacceptable and must stop.

a few months later the commission's reply leaves everyone speechless. the commission believes that the privatization of public utilities including water supply firms. can deliver benefits to society when carefully made. to death. it's a source of his future it's in bunches was as they counted a duffer to cosign. such a nice best son i consume of accepted don't go see best you can put out if it was something i want. to do i could do so much and also did some enormous economic every nothing yeah if it's out of the depth of a thought it bites it out of the id goes a little behind me see me but i shifted buel. open and not by deed. you sure could dismiss your brains you know that. is what makes pay minimum opinion

centers extreme events you can be good as a can feel secret. he let me be the last i did. not look at dog and see yourself these dual result was that he's gone and a very serious one. when detroit became to ireland they wanted to privatized the water utility. but there was no water utility. the water was sprayed in twenty seven local authorities so we were told or government by the troika to build all the areas government at. a company called irish water. which began installing meters. side to people's homes. the first protests took place.

in that sketch of the city of clock loreal woman went out into mani and said you are not putting up be the outside my house. i told him they were coming to the station who didn't want the water meters and that was asked. what he and i were to there was a mass of supportive people here to stop them. and this was the first time that the irish people had taken a stand on any issue since a steady had begun says the troika ride to toes in the not. knowing. i thought i thought it was my fault. i think for some people it probably was the straw that broke the camel's back. i don't know if a sudden move in the street together. and people who are joining the docks and you

know what has the water meters got to do. with the fact that you can't see a doctor should go to a hospital what the water meters got to do with the banks coming in taking people so this. you know this is a sewer only little bit of power you can cool and fun to cheika but you can stand of sight or false. and there's your polar and and it like it might be true years and we're still not finished but people are still resisting this because it is the one thing that they have power and they're never going to give it up. and we knew that this is big something different is how. it's about water first and foremost but it's also about much more than war it's about to hurt to be trailed. the surrender of sovereignty and the redistribution

of our west up words on their debt downwards. there is a problem with the leaks and we couldn't find them until we have brought in some natures so if i see my solution suddenly it says it's a million liters a month for a couple of days in my house i call that temp control so that's the reason for the missiles. and islands there were no meters because they had a completely different system of water charges. the irish paid through general taxation. over one billion euro was intended for the maintenance and operation of the water system. some people think those paper water through taxation is a little bit crazy we really only country in the o.e.c.d.

. zero poverty and we're the only one with the a lot of poverty because we only want to pay for a trip to the us a general taxation does the one thing we've got right and we'll keep it and the rest you should look at for photos listen to us because it all irish got this one right. we really need to modernize our russia structure so now we really have to invest. so we need a structure to invest we need to wage borrowed money and then we need a way to pay for it paying out general type stations people who work would probably end up paying more taxes. that we are losing forty seven percent of our trees it will fall into the ground and leaks before it gets to the top. nobody would be in new rope to spend do it used to spend it on meters or do i choose to stand up

billion year old in fixing the leaks and building a new one structure. despite the water having been paid for general taxation. no tax exemptions while plans to offset the new charges. against the evils worse is. the threat of paying for water twice led most citizens to regard the introduction of meat as in challenges as another austerity measure and the establishment of irish water is the first step towards privatisation. mr ferguson was the minister tusk by the government was setting up the new company . clearly didn't work out quite as we expected. it was never from my perspective that.
