so you consider the vote i want you to know the president and the us take this vote personally he will be watching this more carefully and has requested our report back on those who voted against us thank you for your consideration and more more questions are being asked if the current violence that we witnessing 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 the palestinian envoy to the u.n. says the security council will hold an emergency session now than a day and israeli military spokesman insists the i.d.f. is trying to minimize casualties but also stop the gaza border fence being breached he blamed a 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 all sovereignty our civilians on 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 the side of this white house spokesman also the few awkward moments of today's briefing as various reporters asked washington if it would condemn israel's actions and he definitely had one particular line he seemed to want to stick to it with or was already busy with gaza he was calling no restraint indeed. we believe that you know hamas is responsible for hamas is the one that frankly bear responsibility hamas is responsible hamas is responsible hamas bears the responsibility the hamas as an organization is engaged in cynical action is leading these deaths. the embassy move apparently means so much to the israeli government the u.s. president's name and face in the appearing in all sorts of unlikely places. want to create peace between israel and the palestinians.

of the sniper u.s. special forces soldier has subject to themself to waterboarding to try and show that it's not a form of torture tim kennedy posted a facebook video of being mocked drowned and then explained his main reason for doing that. imagine me having to change stuff this is look like torture to you guys it doesn't look like torture to be either the reason we're doing this out of

basically. hero is right even for our that's been reported to the director the cia waterboarding is an interrogation technique that's been used by the cia many human rights groups around the united nations say it does amount to torture it can cause serious health consequences like brain and lung damage or even death the newly appointed cia director mentioned in tim kennedy's video that has been widely criticized over such after allegations of her evolvement in and tons enhanced interrogation techniques which include waterboarding what's more president trump who chose gina hospital for the job is often said that torture works we discuss the waterboarding video with former guantanamo detainee muslim bag he says it is a technique that amounts to torture no matter what one soldier says. many people can withstand different types of torture for example i know it individual the. pain of having his on twisted or having fingernail pulled out compared to others who

can't but it's not based on the individual's ability to be able to take that torture or not it's according to the definition of the law international interest in just recently the two people captured by the syrian defense forces who are alleged to be what of. what. american captives for isis also water on it that. they have to so if the americans are saying that these two individuals that have committed war crimes which include what or so this kind of notion of it isn't torture it's only torture when we say that is when it affects us it's complete hypocrisy and it's complete and it opposes more importantly international law which which sets out was torture completely and it said is that not only physical torture. is psychological port but the use or to force confessions out of. britain's top domestic intelligence chief pilloried russia in

his first public overseas speech earlier speaking of berlin drew parker said the kremlin is violating international law and actively seeking to undermine democratic societies across europe we're living in a period where europe to suspend threats and sustain hostile activity from certain states the chief protagonist amongst these hostile to us today is the russian government instead of becoming a respected great nation. it risks becoming a more isolated pariah. much of the m i five chief speech was devoted to this group poisoning the british government earlier claim quote the whole world is sure that russia was behind the attack although as you can see on the map there are countries that have taken the view and expelled russian diplomats and exactly the entire world anyway according to political analyst tara mccormack the spoke to the u.k. position does not even have the full support of europe. i am so the i think the

lace comment i don't think. so straight well it really is within your quite a wide spectrum within that you have parts white specked opinion about how to i say quote unquote deal as it would be present in your immediate deal with russia you know so we have a ranging from much more friendly government. that she greets austria for example which is taking a fairly new stance is that no you know we want to do it still it saves it but now i look even in germany there's a huge amount of buy in germany following the expulsion for. that spell you know that they can live now. politicians left and right arguing that this isn't the way you know their relations should not be between russia and germany all. soroti said the indonesian city of surabaya surf only

a five from sponsible for a suicide attack on a police h.q. it came after three churches were also bombed the further but met 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 reportedly wounded police say an eight year old daughter of the perpetrators survived the blast as played the explosions that targeted churchgoers on sunday were also the work of a single family thirteen people killed in that incident and dozens more injured islamic state has taken responsibility for those earlier attacks but so far no one's come forth about the latest explosion the director of the u.s. code child and family research center told us he's extremely alarmed by the involvement of young people in such atrocities. is a possibility that i could be replicated in other countries i mean obviously it is very very disturbing and very upsetting and very disconcerting that this is happening but you're still a million and young children. involved in attacks. but as you know the issue of

child soldier is not something new unfortunately in civic society it's only one of the litter the only 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 they are so driven out of they've been radicalized or for whatever reason they feel they are soldiers and when in 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. let's go back to our top story dozens of palestinians killed by israeli fire during protests at the gaza border after a big move by the united states open its embassy in jerusalem four o'clock local time there last afternoon next blumenthal's in our washington studio author and senior editor of the real news network hi there max it's been a very difficult day in the odds here amasses been actively encouraging people to

rally in gaza and israel border some is it fair to say that they're responsible for these deaths or they should be calling people but from a border at this time when they knew it would kick off. the palestinians inside the gaza strip have been actually staging these kind of protests since at least twenty fifteen they're doing so because they've been under siege for a decade this commemorates seventy years of ongoing dispossession an ethnic cleansing by a mostly refugee population and so this is sort of what the population in the gaza strip has wanted to do this is the form of resistance they want to take it's very different from the kind of militarized form that we've seen under the watch of hamas and so this is really a representation of the agency and the will of the population of the gaza strip and civil society even even though the not equally solid if you like my weapons coming from were. there are sticks and stones partly coming from the of

the why let young people children go close their wallet palestinian children get close to a particular woman who is going to take off like they did they even over this question to us that many people are asking. yeah i mean it's something it's it's these are discussions that i've had with people in the gaza strip i've spent time there i've met children most of that many of the children i've met have lost their older brothers their parents they have looted family members and they are not able to leave the gaza strip it's essentially an open air prison and so this is you know their way if ventilating their frustrations i also was recently in the gaza strip with this network and got to meet a woman who lost her husband because her husband couldn't leave gaza for cancer treatment so this is really their only way of expressing. being in the sensually a prison with total diplomatic cover from the u.s. and we've only we've not only seen live sniper fire killing over fifty targeting people in not the extremities but their heads and their chests to shoot to kill

policy we've seen experimental tear gas drones used by israel coming to a city near you israel says it's trying to limit in a damage here it says it's trying to keep this kind of stuff despite what you're saying israel's point is that it has a duty to defend itself when people who rocks and molotov cocktails at the border they're supposed other countries with would do the same would they not. i think we need to look at this in a historical context over eighty percent of the population of gaza around eighty percent are refugees their families were pushed out of what is now israel in one nine hundred forty eight and after nine hundred forty eight the first israeli prime minister david ben-gurion gave orders for an open fire policy on anyone attempting to return to their land economic refugees not militants hundreds were shot in the fifty's hundreds were shot after sixty seven trying to return to their homes hundreds were shot on may fifteenth two thousand and eleven trying to return from lebanon and syria and we see what the palestinians regard as the continuing today

this is done in order to maintain israel's jewish majority it says it's as if the us shot mexican migrants in order to maintain a white christian majority so what would you not something a democratic country does what was the u.s. doing here talking about pulling off some mighty coup maybe you know later on this year some great dramatic will than i was going to do it especially with what's happened today it would seem to most people looking on that the two state solution is no more of a distant idea than any and. yes the u.s. is kind of fully put the nail that put the final nail in the coffin of the two state solution here by moving the u.s. embassy to jerusalem and you know it really reflects a wider decline of american empire the two state solution of the peace process put the u.s. at the heart of the middle east in the most contentious issue around jerusalem and it gave it a hand in negotiations the u.s. is no longer seen as an honest broker even by the palestinian authority that the

u.s. helped create and this is consistent with the trend we see in the curry is where the u.s. is on the sidelines as north and south negotiate and in syria where iran russia and turkey represent that they didn't ross as such but the u.s. and its allies have been pushed back from the two very different stories two very different backgrounds but when you look at the dramatic you turn the sound on the korean peninsula between the north and the south talking of late with u.s. involvement with you like it could a similar thing happen here. you know what we're going to see here is an intensification of the a misery in the systematic a misery of palestinians for a very long period i think we've seen the consolidation of israel's plan to colonize jerusalem but what's happening here on the outside is that israel is increasingly discredited it's a pariah and civil society in the west is going to mount unprecedented resistance against the israeli project dispossessing palestinians i mean we're going to see

this become an issue in the two thousand and twenty elections in the us and what donald trump has done is side with one faction the far right it is real against an entire people so this is not something that i think israel wants to see happen internationally most beautiful author and. thanks for your time. thanks for having me on. football with a twenty eight hundred football world cup just a month away and i just look at britain's best selling newspaper the sun is warning funds to expect a bruising from ben arkell fight is this and it's used a series of pictures to illustrate the point by a serbian photographer who's been working here in moscow for an article i think most important should expect a hostile welcome however the twist is the photographer says his work's been taken out of context doesn't hold kids reports. 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 lytle 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 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 out of there and that really matured trusted. that article will be it will be. a liver as soon it will be anything where i go. wrong he was context is everything and looking at that article those found some of football trips even more like a nightmare journey to more door. the fact is the we're shooting the received things. out i think even if i shoot

flowers and bucky's is going to look dark there's 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 a few weeks from now you know we put the photographers claims to the sun newspaper and forwarded his request to have the article removed if anyone at the paper does get back to us we'll let you know what said in or indeed done. finally

this hour for around is complying with its nuclear deal obligations according to the head of the un's atomic watchdog who has been meeting president putin in russia's results in the assad chief from where he goes down of reports. 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 at the. after meeting and he said that basically agency's director general has that once again 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 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 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 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 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 north allow washington to boss its companies around like that what they want to be bustles don't want to pay blindly to what americans tell them or do we want us europeans to say never have 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 adversely affect efforts to stabilize the situation on the korean 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 if you go general for that final report came across all the latest from jerusalem and the other big news stories making headlines right now at r.t. dot com in moscow is kevin i'm saying thank you for watching this live update.

on the phone.

they face the world cup world's biggest sporting spectacle is coming to russia from all over the planet will dictate out for that coveted prize from the black sea to the baltic. but just one last ago how ready is the country for once in a lifetime event. had only twenty eight. organizing committee. for world cup.

making sure everything. from availability to free intercity trains. and stadiums is the worlds. what is new and unique about this year's championship and is the country world prepared to handle the unprecedented influx of tourists for the competition in case i don't think it's really great to have you 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 it make the world cup more complex organizational point of view. 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 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 miss 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 studios which are used for the. 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 but so this is happening do you have a wake last minute catastrophists that you have to deal with i mean we always say 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 who 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 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 to 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 get i believe. you know security situation is indeed under control we have a very robust security concept every law enforcement agency is part of it it's part of its implementation implementation or we we have tested our security abilities during confederation's 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. that every just should be confident that. all the measures are being taken there is. it's a huge effort behind. one organizing security fair one. 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 what are they going to be doing and it'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 comfortable about their visa situation i mean most of the fans and was in the countries they're 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.
