is that an historic event is taking place now the american president although earlier thought they was speculation that he could be here for the ceremony his not a variety of santa as you mentioned his daughter evanthia and her husband jared cushion at an event yesterday marking the sick asian invitations were sent out to all eighty six diplomatic missions in israel but only fifty three responded positively and included among them were the missions of paraguayan and guatemala both of whom are expected to move their embassies to jerusalem later this month there are also representatives from bulgaria hungary romania and the czech republic but very important there were no representatives attending from western countries belonging to the european union so that surely shows a growing rift within the european bloc now the americans have been putting a lot of pressure on countries to sign up and approve this move although there is a lot of resistance internationally to it we have seen the u.s. ambassador to the united nations nikki halley resorting to duty tactics and writing

a threatening letter do you consider the vote i want you to know the president and the u.s. take this vote personally he will be watching this vote carefully and has requested our report back on those who voted against us thank you for your consideration as part of the international reaction the turkish president added one has said that this move clearly shows that the united states has chosen to be part of the problem and not part of the solution and that the united states has lost its mediating role in the peace process now this comes as we continue to receive rising casualty figures the latest figures we have a more than fifty people who have been killed in clashes on the gaza border and also in various palestinian cities throughout the west bank we are hearing about hundreds of people who have been injured and this comes as israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu himself says that more embassies ironically should move to jerusalem as this would bring about peace but certainly the figures and the actions on the. and don't lead to this take

a listen move you remember she's through jerusalem because it's the right thing to do move your embassies to jerusalem because it vents is peace. security here in jerusalem as you can well imagine is tains there are reinforcements might have on the embassy where i'm standing keeping people away at the same time more questions are being aust if the common finance that we witnessing is a response to the embassy me just how exactly does the american president try to think that he is going to cut as he has said the deal of the century between israelis and palestinians the among the voices the reaction we heard on this was a political science professor from gal's a he told us it's unlikely the protests are going to end anytime soon what is

happening today is a message from the palestinian masses all over the girls lost to the west bank and is jos in them. this america of admission of guilt some of the covenant of israel is not accepted by the palestinians and the palestinians are decided that the u.s. is no longer out on almost a book oh in the mideast peace process between the palestinians and israelis and it also will lead to further palestinian ridge where the palestinian under the you us the israeli today has been that this day since the start of the march of return some six weeks ago and it does also expected that the problem is will continue their protests the guinness israel all over the border area between gaza and israel and the embassy move apart he means so much to the israeli government that the u.s. president's name and face are now appearing in all sorts of unlikely places want to create. peace between israel and the palestinians it's

a. little . while talking on football with the twenty eighteen world cup exactly no one month away britain's biggest selling newspaper is warning founds to expect a bruising from berne knuckle fighters it's use the series of pictures by a serbian photographer who'd been working in moscow for an article highlighting how

his supporters should expect a hostile welcome the photographer though say's his work has been taken out of context taking a closer look down the hawkins. 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 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 labelled 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 folks with a few references to ultras and drinking thrown in the article then a finishes with

a classic touch little makes for a pretty grim picture of the upcoming world cup although some comments under the piece certainly do 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 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. soon it would be anything way to go. 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. the fact is the wear issue the received things usually captures the dark i think even if i shoot flowers little puppies it's going to look dark there's nothing to do with the real situation and i'm going to be perfectly safe there the world cup me and i feel safe in moscow 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 well we have pumped the photographers claims to the sun and forwarded his request to have the article removed if anyone of the paper gets back to us we'll let you know what sets. the news continues in ninety seconds. to. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guests of the world of politics or business i'm show business i'll see you there. twenty eight team coverage we've signed one of the greatest. but there was one more question by the way who's going to be our coach. you guys i know you are nervous he's a huge star and

a huge amount of pressure you have to be the center of the. great. game you are the rock at the back nobody gets to you we need you to. go. alone. and i'm really happy to join the other thousand in. this special want. me to just take the radio. latest edition to make up a bigger. look. below in iran is continuing to comply with its obligations under the nuclear deal according to the head of the un's atomic watchdog who's been meeting president putin in russia's resort city all of. course in a for ports. well despite this summit having very little to do with the issue of

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 run nuclear deal would be fairing from now on with the united states and de facto ditching the whole deal last week now russia's permanent representative the a us was at the meeting and he said that basically agency director general has one sick and reiterated that iran is being fully compliant with the deal. 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 a judge 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 devise

a reef seeking assurances 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 now with europe in turn is also scrambling to keep the deal or life but that comes with a catch because the united states have indicated that they are prepared to sanction europe into obedience pretty much openly threatening those european companies that keep doing business with iran with penalties 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 and just a quick reminder twenty fifteen when these story deal was reached a lot of european companies entered the iranian business scene this includes some side. giants as air but still folks

a bargain and now the united states are basically saying well you have to make a choice and france has already said that it will not allow washington to boss its companies around like that. who want to be bus always double to pay blindly to what americans tell them or do we want us europeans the same economic interests and we 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 for 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 put years to reach still with north korea we could be in for a long run. monday marks a year since the money will mccrone was an order it has the president of france but for many his leaderships fallen far short of their expectations in recent months micron's face their range of accusations from failing the public with his reforms to acting like a monarch in paris thousands marched on sunday against micron's policies which they say are too pro-business and are less salt on workers' rights it's the latest in a series of rallies across france and later a number of which have been marred by clashes but the president is now under even more pressure following saturday's knife attack in parts amman originally from. starve one person to death and injured four others in the face and district of the

city the shots dead by police or about islamic states or earlier released a video allegedly showing the attacker pledge allegiance to the terrorists tried to but scheme has more. discontentment on the streets violent confrontations force used to subdue the testers this is profits when we too much comes first 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 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 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 to move. 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 some reforms by decree rather than a vote meanwhile khan has said he's proud of these two. he says and hates having to

constantly explain his reasoning. it's a catastrophe it's a general attack and everything that makes up the french identity it's history and it means everything we succeeded in constructing over the centuries has chucked it out it's been thrown in the been shackled in knots 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 and that was how it was conceived and how it's meant to be run it's meant to give for all it's strong. or for or to put in order for a tyrian leadership but i don't think it's he's on them a critic 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 and 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 so it didn't ski auti paris. to asia where indonesia has been hit with terror attacks for a second consecutive day the leaders explosion took place on a police station headquarters in the country's second biggest city of syria by a day after triple suicide bombings on. churches in this same city a c.c.t.v.

camera captured the moment of the attack on the planned speech queue which has left at least ten people wounded it was carried out by members of one family 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 dozens more injured it's nomics they say since behind the attack but so far no one has claimed this latest expose. ok time for the latest episode of cross talk now with host peter lavelle this hour transatlantic relations and the time of trouble see you in thirty. across europe municipalities are taking their water supply back from private

companies. this is the simple song alone even some company elsewhere they invite private companies to take over the utilities anybody tell us that. you guys you got. this is. just because. of what you know brought up locals are ready to stand up for the basic human right of access to water it's about water but it's also over much more than water it's about the hurt and the redistribution of. their debt downwards if you want to.

god. hello and welcome to cross talk were all things are considered i'm peter lavelle have you ever known a hero well here you'll meet one also what is the future of the transatlantic alliance in the era of trump and the prehistory of the next war in the middle east .

across talking resistance i'm joined by my guest mark sloboda he's an international affairs and security analyst and we have dmitri bobbitt she's a political analyst we spoke nick international origin across the girls in effect i mean if you can jump in anytime you want gentlemen we have a special guest on the program today and i want to talk about the level of dissent in the united states in the west in general and freedom of speech and theory is we're joined by ray mcgovern in washington he's a former cia analyst and co-founder of veterans intelligence professionals for sanity ray thank you for joining us here i think most of the viewers of this program know that what has happened to you when you were at the congressional hearings to get through donald trump's nominee for the head of the cia. can you follow up on what's happened to you what were you you were charged what were you charged with and what happens now. i was charged with resisting arrest and also disrupting congress. i will have to appear in court on the twenty fourth i think it

is of may and face those charges so who knows what will happen hopefully the judge will have looked at the videotape and see how how ironic it is that i should be charged with resisting arrest when so to speak i was not on my own power and being dragged out of there one thing that people don't realize is that senator richard burr yes who's hand in glove with the intelligence people they supposed to be supervising he started the meeting by saying no were no procession of we're going to executive session but there will be people who need to make a statement or all i would say to them is do it quickly do it fast and then be gone i said to myself wow oh it's a first time i've heard a chairman and invite some. as if that was part of what i thought would be ok if i made a short statement and then be gone and turned out that they made sure that i'd be

god and not on the my own power but you know it was a well what was interesting for me watching the video of you being assaulted is that here we were there was an hearing on a woman that there is ample evidence that she was involved in the brutalizing and torturing people and and then at the same time you were being brutalized and i don't think it's unfair for me to say i think you're seventy eight years old i watched that video a number of times i could not see how you could have possibly been a threat to those police officers and you didn't look like you were resisting in respect of the fact of being force on the ground. thought at the time you maybe that your arm had been dislocated and there seem to be no interest other than a few people videotaping it here watching brutalization in public so you know it seems to be brutalization seems to be the themes of the time. ray. oh you know

go ahead mark i had to ask a question yeah i have to say ray you look pretty good generally for a seventy year old guy seventy eight year old guy a twenty four year veteran of you know as a cia analyst but you look at a little worse for wear i see your glasses are still broken could you show us your hands ray. yeah those are it was a real doozy they did it. that a job on made us police state is my prison well you know. that's what we have to sort of keep our sense of you my youngest daughter when she saw the picture of dad how did they make your right ear down so low how did they bring it down so low. well ok well it wasn't the air it was the glasses. let's talk about the level of dissent here because i mean what you were you were

invited by the chairman of that committee as a member of the public to express an opinion but you were not allowed to do that so what does this tell you about the level of dissent and freedom of speech in the us i mean these hearings are very important jena bloody jena probably will get the get through it and be placed as head of cia so what about dissent. remember where you heard it first dear she's not going to be approved ok or enough decent people in the united states are storming to senators she's not going to be confirmed so yeah it was set up those guys were already to pounce on me i took advantage of the fact that one of them moved away from the front so i could get at least a sentence and but you saw the rest of what happened so what we have here is a committee this supposed to be an oversight committee see what the what the what the cia is doing but it's richard burr and it's the kind overlook committee you

know they're handing glove with the with the intelligence people who are supposed to be overseeing or monitoring david you want to jump in there well i think that there's just well for what happened unfortunately it's a part of what trent i mean there are hundreds of people so-called whistleblowers in the united states on the no fly list and a lot of them who are subjected to similar treatment in europe piskorski the polish citizen he has been in jail for two years without trial simply a for giving need to be used to the russian media saying things which their means team does not except in law to be alexander got born and who was also or even donati and that to vist for the russian minority in lodge where he has been arrested a few days two weeks ago and no western media not a single western media report at about it i'm pretty sure this story with a rake is not going to be picked up by the mainstream media you know that's a he's

a principally great deal of brings up a really interesting point because you know. i so i saw a couple of comments in the mainstream media you know very small margin marginal comments but alternative media and social media picked up on your story like a dead engines i mean it's all over facebook right now i made the announcement on facebook to be on this program the positive reaction was so overwhelming it really made me happy that people are the people do know about this story here and you're not going to learn about it from the mainstream media. well that's the major major point here that's the back story and i grew up in in new york first twenty two years of my life i went to school there i went to university there and i have lots of friends that are still looking at the grass for my top ok this is still around now when i go back to college reunions and i say blah blah blah they say right now how would you learn so i mean oh well it's not in the new york times that's how bad

it is it's not in the new york times and course i didn't expect to be in new york times nor was i washington post wall street journal so it's really encouraging that this is going goes viral among people who feel the same way we do for the most part but it's i guess the main story in my view is that nobody knows what they did what i did and what i did was quote quite within my rights run why didn't the senator had asked jena high school were you there in thailand did you supervise the waterboarding of al knew shiri and she said. senator that's classified yeah and he said i'm out of time now that is a classified well senator i classified it i have lots of incriminating evidence against him so you're going to shake recession she so she she classified so that's let's make sure our viewers understand she classified information about herself ok oh wow there's oversight there not only right not only did she classify it she

destroyed evidence right she did it which is also a federal one even though they bring it even though ron wyden to run wyden ran out of time right so he couldn't follow up but here's the chair right and he knows that every one of those senators know that sure she did supervise the waterboarding of on the shiri at that black site entirely everyone knows that ok so why didn't he intervene why didn't he say now miss haswell. we have the documents of course you say there are secret but it's a little odd that you should be allowed to classify these so would you answer yes or no lawyer there when he was waterboarding course she would say yes so that's the cover up here that's the the supreme irony that she can classify and make unavailable to the public to the people who are supposed to be watching what's what person this is going to be to head the cia i mean this is an open hearing is to inform the american people which is

a no no i'm sorry that's classic i think any of that's right senator that's classified but. readers who are inherently apparently gentleman her nickname bloody gina. number one parent lee she kind of like the nickname and number two there are reports that she enjoyed that kind of well in hand tara geisha and i mean this is kind of a reflection of the mindset you know nice nice nicknames these people have the defendants of democracy a mad dog blood. they're going to defend democracy of one hundred percent can you imagine someone that the nuremberg trial you know the german not suspect of that accused of torturing people can you imagine good i can tell you if i did that this is close you fly you know they will say that they would fight in court many of them or they are different resisting jewish law but they will never say it was collective fight this is as if nuremberg never happened i mean this is what.
