7:30 pm
consideration and more more questions are being asked if the current violence that we witnessing here is a response to the embassy me well then 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 here that's the million dollar question now we talk about it with our guests in just a minute and the palestinian envoy to the u.n. says the security council will hold emergency session within the next twenty four hours and israeli military spokesman insists that the i.d.f. is trying to minimize casualties on its side but also stop the gaza border fence being breached he blamed for mass which controls gaza for inciting violence and encouraging people to attack the israeli border our message to the hamas is clear we will not tolerate this violence we will continue to defend our sovereignty our civilians and our border we will do so while trying to minimize the amount of casualties but we will not let the rioters through and to harm israeli civilians that are a running distance away with us now the dr no less of assistant professor at durham
7:31 pm
university specializing in spatial politics and cultural history of time here our correspondent really brought the question to the head there how is president trump going to broker this deal of a lifetime when he talks about when he knows the move of the embassy to jerusalem is going to cause so much trouble on the other side of the border it was predicted it's happened how is he going to. barter is where this one. well the sad truth is that the president and the israeli prime minister do not have the middle east peace process at the top of their agenda. the opening of the embassy today will present very positive images to both the american presidents base and the israeli prime minister's supporters however israelis and palestinians are going to still find themselves tomorrow morning at this very same stalemate that
7:32 pm
has plagued this region for the past one hundred years. what about the state of all those this has been the most violent day since twenty four taking what is it going to go in the media you think because of this no yeah i mean i think that is the biggest tragedy i think it's very easy to see the red carpet the images of the president's daughter and son in law walking off the official plane and ben-gurion these are all very positive image is for some in israel and some in the united states but at the end of the day this is an ongoing tragedy first and foremost for millions of palestinians who both political rights and voices have been left out of this decision how much the pull does this move have within israel crucially massive simple. look i think that the majority of
7:33 pm
israelis will see this as a positive affirmation of what many israelis see as their. right to jerusalem as capital however i think that as the violence continues israeli optimism and celebration well die down very quickly and at the end of the day the harsh realities are going to come back because you know it's to this this is been so long drawn out so take its toll on both sides mental resources financial resources energies to want to get on with this. surely they must have taken this into account all in all on the israeli side . i'm afraid not i'm afraid that both in israel and in the united states political consideration trumped all other considerations i think for israel
7:34 pm
the calculation is that the security risks can be mitigated while the political gains make this a worthwhile stuff for the people who supported it all the shias the two state solution again even more of a pipe dream further away tonight isn't it i think the planting of the american flag in what is recognized as a conflicted. in jerusalem puts another nail in the coffin of the two state solution will we see any more embassies opening up in the near future do you think . well that remains to be seen i think the americans will definitely need a lot of political pressure and some perhaps latin american countries to move their embassies but i think that the major players on the international scene as named we are european countries china russia are unlikely to problem the americans go to not
7:35 pm
allow shipping from durham university thank you for your thoughts on this tonight to love each of you on the program live thanks thank you very much well the embassy move apart and so much to the israeli government that the u.s. president's name is just head and face now appearing in all sorts of unlikely places create peace between israel and the palestinians.
7:36 pm
continue to follow the story online let's check some other news tonight now this monday a u.s. special forces soldier a subjected himself to waterboarding to try to show point out that it's not a form of torture he says tim kennedy posted a facebook video of big mock drowned and then explained his main reasons for doing it maje me having it changed if does this look like torture to you guys it doesn't look like torture to be either the reason we're doing this out of base. hero is right even for our that's been appointed to be the director the cia but tim can do stuff isn't pretty convincing to everyone has some of the on online reaction about it is coming in. if waterboarding wasn't torture then the be no reason to do it i was a navy pilot and went to the e.r. in one thousand eighty one waterboarding each store sure waterboarding is not torture it's just a process replicating the sensation of being drowned to inflict physical and
7:37 pm
psychological pain in a prisoner in order to extract information so get totally different from torture waterboarding is an interrogation technique this being used by the cia many human rights groups and the united nations say it does amount to torture him and it can cause serious health consequences like brain and lung damage or even it was death or the newly appointed cia director mentioned in tim kennedy's video that has been widely criticized over this come thing after allegations of involvement in enhanced interrogation techniques which include waterboarding was for president trump who chose genius for the job is often said that torture works former guantanamo detainee was a bag things hospital is unlikely to be investigated over their alleged involvement in torture techniques while donald trump's in charge at least. assholes all in all this was that she was great at that for all of that torture tapes of the torture of the survey that came in the shooting with torture in the place that she ran in
7:38 pm
thailand she's a great advocate for these torture tapes to being destroyed and that was under obama's watch because obama said that no matter who the torturous were and what they did we will no longer torture at night with any torture is that we're all the cross if you so essentially that's why you have a president today and says i believe torture works and can't. advocate on behalf of a woman who is implicated in torture and she knows for a fact that she has nothing to worry about because there will be no charges brought against these terrible war. the twenty eight to football world cup exactly one month away now and counting britain's biggest selling newspaper is warning fans to expect a bruising from bare knuckle fighters this then is used a series of pictures then to illustrate it by a serbian photographer who'd been working here in moscow for an article highlighting how supporters should expect a hostile welcome the photographer though says his work has been taken out of
7:39 pm
context with more hawkins. as thousands of england fans packed 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 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 folks with a few references to ultras and drinking thrown in the article then finishes with a classic touch lytle makes for
7:40 pm
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 night's 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. or assumed it would be anything where i go. wrong he was context is everything and looking at that article those found some of what will trip seemed more like
7:41 pm
a nightmare journey to more door. the fact is the we're shooting the received things. out i think even if i shoot flowers little puppies is going to look dark has nothing to do with the real situation i'm going to be perfectly suited their roles got me worse and i feel safe in moscow don't get us wrong these tough been portrayed as are 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
7:42 pm
a few weeks from now while i tell you we put the photographer claims to the sun newspaper afforded his request to have the article removed actually if anyone at the paper bothers to get back to us we'll let you know what's done and said. sorties of the indonesian city of so buyer say a family of five was responsible for a suicide attack at a police headquarters and here it came after three churches were also bombed there on sunday a c.c.t.v. camera captured the moment of the most recent attack in which at least six civilians and four officers were reportedly wounded police say an eight year old daughter of the perpetrators survived the blast it's believed the explosions that targeted church goes on sunday two were also the work of just one single family thirteen were killed in that incident dozens more injured islamic state has taken responsibility for those attacks but so far no one's come forward about the latest explosion the director of the you know esko child and family research center told us he's extremely alarmed by the involvement seems of young people to try to these
7:43 pm
like this. is a possibility that could be replicated in other countries i mean obviously it is very very disturbing and very upsetting and very disconcerting that this is happening that you're still milieu and young children involved in attacks. but as you know having soon now the issue of child soldier it is not something new unfortunately in civic society it's only one of the litter the one thing we do know that is a deterrent is the whole issue of conversation and we need to have conversations to understand better why it is that people feel there are so driven but if they have been radicalized or for whatever reason they feel they are soldiers and when families you know and in some cases it may be the children are not willing members in these attacks but we need to understand more about what's going on that is extremely urgent. iran is complying with its nuclear deal obligations according to the head of un's atomic watchdog who's been meeting president putin here in russia
7:44 pm
in the result city of sochi he goes down off reports next. 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's director general has one sick and reiterated that iran is being fully compliant with the deal. to 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 judd zarif is on sort of a tour he's
7:45 pm
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 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 a 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 the story deal was reached a lot of european companies entered the iranian business scene this includes some
7:46 pm
side. giants as air but still tough 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 why do we want to be bustling blindly to what americans tell them or do we want us europeans to st about how the economic interests and we want to have economic relations with iran now another issue 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
7:47 pm
peninsula. 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 play years to reach still with north korea we could be in for a long run the news keep track of you can always do that on our site including the latest tonight from jerusalem and the rest the big stories this monday it's r.t. dot com twenty seven minutes past nine at night moscow time kevin zero in saying thanks for watching this live up to. join me every first day on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to us from
7:48 pm
the world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see them. chose seemed wrong. but old rules just don't. let me. get to shake out just because the ticket and engage with equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground.
7:49 pm
time after time we're going underground as today jerusalemite the hosts a violation of international law or a kickstart to a real middle east peace process after a u.s. embassy moves from tel aviv to the capital of palestine coming up on the show gaza's former health minister dr bassam nineteen calls this summer schedule breaking of the b.d.s. boycott by prince william shameful ahead of tomorrow's commemoration of the day of catastrophe and if the international community opposes war plans by the usa saudi arabia and israel against iran can we learn lessons from the so-called cold war we investigate why the world nearly ended on the ninth of november one thousand nine hundred three plus what have israel saudi arabia and the usa got up their sleeves for a new world war we count the weaponry dollars with the stock home international peace research institute told us of all coming up in today's going underground but first let's go straight to gaza because washington has in the past few days unleashed tensions that have simmered for decades today a u.s.
7:50 pm
embassy in the middle east moves to jerusalem on the seventieth anniversary of israeli independence in the minds of those tomorrow commemorating not by day or the day of catastrophe when millions of palestinians are displaced because of british backed israeli forces will be quite a few issues though from donald trump's violation of un resolutions to his declaration of economic war in iran from his support for israeli killing in syria to the ongoing siege of gaza itself joining me now from gaza is talk about sam the name head of the council on international relations and palestine is hamas is former health minister in gaza thanks so much for coming on going on the ground before we go to the tragic loss of life with. thousands and injuries of thousands in recent weeks what is the importance to the mass movement of the decision to move the u.s. embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem and i think this is a very important and crucial decision it reflects the u.s. is first doesn't didn't or does not respect the international law
7:51 pm
which in many occasions. jerusalem is the capital of palestine and jerusalem is the disputed city and the international law and this cannot be decided you need a literal and cannot be supported on this or even sure there's additional jerusalem cannot be simply supported by. american administration decisions give us some context to what might happen tomorrow on the anniversary of the day of catastrophe we've seen some of us in this country hasn't been covered that widely thousands dead or injured in the great return march what have you seen in gaza when it comes to that because israel says these are demonstrators using explosives in the first the great return march started on the thirty or for real. and if you are sort of
7:52 pm
the land d. of charles and so palestinians men and women and children moved towards the borders merely in gaza strip but this issue is not only for girls but for all the scene in gaza that was burned jerusalem and even in that this border this activities will extend up to the day of netware on the fifteenth of may and might extend beyond this if our goals are not achieved the main goal or clear we are looking for. brazil having that i too pretty and for burstein or for their homes they have been expelled from but also here in gaza we are looking for digne. fied life we cannot continue to live under siege after fifty years of occupation also of the operation or for an immoral illegal siege which has been described by many international n.g.o.s and human rights bodies as. collective punishment and we
7:53 pm
invite the israeli ambassador to london on this program to respond but israel is saying the reason we are seeing children shot dead on social media is the same is why we saw the israel bombing your hospitals in gaza and your schools that you are using these people children as human shields we have seen many many videos where children and young people have been shot by the six neighbors from the back while the getting away from the from the borders we are talking now about around fifty four milters or palestinian killed more than six thousand wounded most of them are serious and some of them will be handicapped whatever how many casualties will the other side zero. if they will of seen or have used any kind of violence how can we see the casualties on the other side is zero casualties
7:54 pm
even if there are eight of human rights but these seeds that there was north of it for the soldiers in any of the cases of palestinian casualties sophist second is it an excuse for the soldiers to kill children women or elderly book because they are going to talk to the streets or to the fence to protest peacefully i think there is no excuse hamas is not the organizer of the big march promises part of the palestinian body which is. organizing this big. we have the national committee called with marshall return and burned the building the siege which was composed by all palestinian factions civil society but is enjoys and even philistine an academic's and figures how much is bought of this movement
7:55 pm
as as a part of the bill a scene a struggle against the occupation if but athenians go to the to get to to protest peacefully they are talking about using human. children and women as a human shield if there exists. in an armed resistance this is terrorism what should be seen and do they should they accept to die simply in silence i think this is not acceptable for anyone and you were around the world we cannot accept to continue dying in silence no one you can come here to goes and see that people are moving towards the fence three really without any pressure from anybody because the sit up with this day or situation you are talking about it a percent or more than eighty percent bertie you are talking about around fifty percent unemployment you are talking about ninety five percent of our water is poisoned and unsuitable for drinking you are talking about most of the beach of
7:56 pm
gaza strip around ninety five to ninety seven percent of the beach is. spoiled was sewage water bumped into the sea because of electricity problems at the end of the day israel is the acute brain power and israel as they could bring you up or according to the international law according to human rights organizations and so on so on is the responsible for the life of palestinian they cannot punish two million palestinians because they have a problem with hamas they are responsible for the electricity for education for health as an acute buying power according to the international law they can. guzzle would they need electricity or they can allow us to repair the. power generation company which has been destroyed by israel in two thousand and six the regular palestinian have to with seventy days to get an answer from the story
7:57 pm
aside to allow him to pass for hospitals in the west bank or jordan or anywhere else to get to be treated abroad you've talked about what you think are peaceful demonstrations which resulted in six thousand dead or injured you're talking about other demonstrations that presumably support the b.d.s. boycott of israel what do you think about to resume sending prince william and presumably kate middleton to break the b.d.s. boycott i think it is unfortunate and it is really shameful that a country like britain where we are part of the catastrophe caused for palestinians in nineteen forty eight because of the full declaration which would blow most of the term the jews of homeland in our learned in palestine instead of for palestinians for the sin they have done one hundred years ago the insisting of continuing this. painful policy and shameful
7:58 pm
policy against our people we have expected into in two thousand and seventeen after one hundred year of birth for the coalition and our biology from the. british government or british him. to two of delusion as for the policy in a fall what they have done second at that time in one hundred years ago there was a talk about two two states two four two nations what we have today is an apartheid state. one state one people controlling the other one preventing an assurance of the other people to have their independence freedom and dignified life or to decide for their civility i think it is shameful and it is unacceptable. finally there was obviously control of a sea joining the syria war about how masses position some claiming you supported
7:59 pm
israeli backed rebels in syria no doubt you will reject those accusations today do you support iran in terms of the iran deal when once you are fighting iran defacto in syria i think this is not just to define or describe the situation of two thousand and eleven in this very blow this black white situation i think we didn't support one but it against the other party our men struggle. against the occupation our main issue is palestine and the freedom of for your living has made her a leader in israel your leader is a man that is honey and said he supported the rebels we know the rebels were backed by saudi arabia and israel and the united states and britain and i think the decision of hamas was for years and years is clear. we are with anyone who is
8:00 pm
supporting palestine we cannot be part of any internal conflict special in the arabic and the stomach countries we have to light of the beginning of this internal . clashes in syria to to to help for a common ground for a compromise from both parties struggle is against the occupation our main issue is palestine and accordingly we decide our policy and our struggle is limited only to the palestinian territories here inside historical palestine and we can have people out of any conflict outside boston so was it a lie when has will or sources said they encountered munitions that they gave to have mass in gaza which would then used against his will or in the fight against .
