pm here in moscow with choose day maybe fifty wherever you're tuning in from right to run the globe welcome to r.t. international our top story tens of thousands of mourners have turned out in gaza for the funerals of the protesters killed by israeli soldiers on monday at least sixty people lost their lives in what's become the deadliest day in the israeli palestinian conflict since twenty fourteen more than two thousand seven hundred others were injured many with live ammunition the violence came as the u.s. controversially opened its new embassy in nearby jerusalem. how was the water glorious remember this moment where you. this is this true. no no
9:02 am
no it was whatever the word we extend a hand in friendship to israel the palestinians and to all of their neighbors may there be peace. in the world we pray for the peace of jerusalem. i was wrong. but i'm having to tell in the i'm not that way ever since the day phase ended clubs have you know what i think to protest against these maybe soldiers who are just a short distance behind me as you can see they've kind of demarcated this area by burning tires and from hid there hurling rocks and stones at the soldiers who are just a short distance in front of us to start. with and start firing tear gas into the crowds the end indices have been ferrying wounded people if we saw from the numbers
9:03 am
of people who have been injured some of them serious these scenes i think the future across the way that this is comes off the not taking aim at a certain kind of to. the to keep. it getting least bit of a case maybe this is to be the beginning of ties and if you look at it just accept it there have been more fires that have sponsored all along the road this comes just a day off to the americans move to the embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem and the two spots the would stay on when i've been since the last possible. back in two thousand and fourteen it's a ticket. to the good job if you thought it was racially profiling so we're running now because these tear gas coming in our direction and i am just as you can see the crowd is moving it's always difficult to tell when exactly it's coming from so we just going to make our way for the bath and as you can see. the situation
9:04 am
is extremely tense and it's just get out of their prison thrown in a style that everybody's pointing to so we think that it's close firing tear gas on the crowd here and so we're going to move all the way back so we're not right on top of the soldiers and we'll see from here where the it's going on. the. situation tense go from one moment to the next the coming incredibly tense policy at our team. well with the backlash over the israeli military's actions growing at the u.n. security council is set to hold an emergency meeting in iran an hour's time human rights groups have been voicing grave concern over the idea of success of use of force against the protesters in gaza they have described what took place on monday on acceptable inhumane and a bloodbath what a number of governments have also decried the united states this is going to move
9:05 am
its embassy to jerusalem the french foreign ministry say washington's embassy relocation broke international law while the dutch government they echoed that assessment arlen ses america has made the situation much worse while south africa turkey strongly condemned the move and of recall there and busters to israel also withdrew its envoy to the u.s. . america didn't we think that the moving of the u.s. embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem is an unfortunate decision we are rejecting once again this decision which violates international law and which is against un resolutions with its latest step the u.s. has chosen to be a part of the problem not a solution and has lost its mediator role in the middle east peace process we don't agree with the decision of the us to to move their embassy we continue to think that the playing the role card at the wrong time. japan is concerned that the move
9:06 am
could make the peace process in the middle east even more difficult or escalate tension across the middle east to go to a ten year old more. believe that the current us president does not have the ability to differentiate and judge about the long term consequences of his actions . we were joined by a panel of guests to discuss what the latest bloodshed means for both israel and the occupied palestinian territories all the yearly misery some people around us want us to expose koran stude those who declare that they want to kill us who declare that they want to get into israel by booby traps by clutching called by it are you fools who are that they're just you know at the regional high limit our other one is not exactly on. the nerdier are some years later in that has only two for for eleven years you are the one who initiated this you initiated this
9:07 am
you but you brought the world the only your start up steadily is what policy has brought to the world tell me you have anything resides raising children and. you know a lot of and not anything if you define greater israel as the area between the river jordan of the mediterranean sea the area under effective israeli control jews are now a small minority and that population and the more of a minority they become the more undemocratic. and racist israel becomes there are zero israeli injuries zero israeli casualties over two thousand palestinians injured over fifty seven palestinians killed including oh i'll share you how magic arabs are about how. do all of the tests.
9:08 am
all of these are owed tests in gaza that were happening on gaza and saw oil inside the area occupied by israel in one thousand nine hundred sixty seven israel used disproportionate force in an illegal manner killing scores a palestinian some won't. thousands literally thousands more but you know hamas is not my favorite organization. so you know hamas is a politically bankrupt group which has completely failed to exploit israel's growth growth contradictions and to use them against the this increasingly race the state where hamas has failed consistently by attacking. jews quiet jews and therefore forcing
9:09 am
making sure that israelis will band together all the more tightly against what they see as an external threat i have something to tell you we want to establish a palestinian state in the future the two state solution is the international solution it's not the palestinian solution alone i do believe still that there is a chance for this solution but it will take courage and it will take resolve from the international community to step up. plans to change french laws to give stricter punishments for child sex abusers of fallen foul of experts who say it will make the problem worse let's get into this story now and go live to a part of the charlotte dubin ski hi there charlotte talk us through why this is causing such outrage. well in march france announced that it was going to legislate. sexual violence down on
9:10 am
sexism and included in that legislation was due to be in egypt consent to sexual activity in france not age consensual sex to be fifteen and the reason that element of the law was putting because there was outrage after she cases emerged of eleven year old girls who we did. not to have been raped by adult men because they don't think the first they don't been threatened there had been no violence all surprised when that incident had taken place well now the law is being debated in the national assembly on tuesday and that element the age of consent to fifteen has now been taken out of this nor critics say that that mean it's been watered down that it was less protection for children and actually creates new legal loopholes for child rapists this is what they've said. i think you have to occur and you are to go to child abuse could be considered an advance not
9:11 am
a crime mr president mr president there are two hundred fifty people who demand the law be repealed. well they've now moved to petition against the out revision of the age of consent and it's gone to more than four hundred thousand people supporting that to not be changed well those who'd all good for the change say they needed to take out that age of consent because they said it would infringe on the defendant's presumption of innocence that's led to some heated debate in the national assembly already in one session on monday. morning when they still don't have work when you read and or read this law from one point in another when you are sure that you have read and understood it all was going to nothing happen at all as if there was no me to movement as if all these chalking and appalling testimonies did not provoke any reaction from the government cooper
9:12 am
from i refute they in total both who've been seen here on the largess of the tax reform or those we are proposing. well critics say if the law is passed without the age of consent it will mean that france will be one of the only countries in europe which does not have a legal defined age of consent and they've also said that it means that it could pose a real danger if rapists are actually convicted under lesser charges meaning that they would be seen as rapists by society and the protections necessary to make sure that they don't commit such an x. again won't be in place you know certainly in the motiv subject want to deep consequences are too short to do been ski bring us right up to date from paris thank you. they may get bridge linking mainly on russia to the crimean peninsula being officially unveiled six months ahead of schedule once it is
9:13 am
9:14 am
you feel when you were. well president putin also among the first to cross the new bridge he drove its entire nineteen kilometers from mainland russia into the crimean city of courage many of the bridges construction workers accompanied the president during the inaugural trip artie's dunya hawkins there has been following the ground zero for. quite a feat of engineering forced mind to make almost as long as four lanes of traffic on a railway due to open next year as well as well with this bridge the crimea bridge
9:15 am
not only the longest in russia but the longest in europe construction began a couple years back it's been built in time for. six months in fact ahead all seems to be going to plan for now a couple of celebrities back to the bridge already the first one big no you may expect yet feline cat she was actually found on this bridge at all fun and adopted by the workers here the cat has respect to the bridge walked across. and it's to the cat satisfaction now to put this into perspective just what a few of engineering this is all from is rough conditions on the sea all the cut straight here the only line link that they link to crimea previously was boy by ferry which was not always available due to the rough weather now there is a link all the time forty forty thousand cause thirty million passengers will be able to be carried through this bridge at its peak hours it required a huge amount of supporting structures as well to be precise more than thirty two.
9:16 am
bits of steel was used. many of which extend the. nearly one hundred meters below the sea that's the equivalent of a thirty thirty five story building so quite a big structure here now this will have a big impact on the crimean peninsula not only because of the increased tourists from across the region from russia also because of obviously goods that can now be imported for the bridge and not by the sea or by air this project has been with planning for a very long time from daughters times to the start of the soviet union era it's only been carried out now after hundreds of years of planning so very much a great achievement here that will bring you all the latest updates on the festivities here as they go on this historic day for russia for the crimean peninsula. on the way to nuclear countries two very different approaches from the u.s. we've got tuesday's developments after this. so
9:17 am
what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race off and spearing dramatic development is only really i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. and the politics in washington not been driven by the fossil fuel energy lobbyist they could have gone into renewables ten twenty years earlier and those jobs would be in place generating good paying jobs in america would be part of a growing world beating industry because they kowtow to those lobbyist they got stuck in the coal business which it up liberated by the gas business which is a trillion dodgy for a lot of reasons and now it's going to be obliterated by the chinese led revolution
9:18 am
in solar. it in minutes past four pm here in moscow welcome back europe is scrambling to reduce the damage caused to the iran nuclear deal after the u.s. pulled out britain france and germany will meet the arena and foreign minister later on tuesday the diplomatic round table comes a senior agent donald trump's administration mull over whether to sanction european companies that continue doing business with iran that's something trumps national security advisor certainly does not want it. why would any business why would the
9:19 am
shareholders of any business want to do business with the world's central banker of international terrorism. but america's growing intransigence towards iran over its nuclear program is in stark contrast to how it's dealing with north korea as things may look rosy right now but there's a warning that if from can bail on iran is promises that kim jong il might be on shaky ground to here's our senior correspondent. we all know what carrot and stick diplomacy is but these these goes beyond that way beyond there will get private capital that comes in north korea is desperately in need of energy support electricity for their people we can deliver that and as i said earlier this week we can create conditions for real economic prosperity for the north korean people that will rival that of the south talk about extremes not so long ago people were seriously talking about nuclear war those with
9:20 am
a penchant for the dramatic really made the best of the opportunity north korea best not make it work threats to the united states. they will be met with fire fury. like the world has never see well north koreans must be sighing in relief instead of fire and fury they're now getting the carrot will they have to do is give up nukes nice let's just hope they have short memories so i think iran is on notice and they are going to have to make a choice are they willing to go down the path which i think ultimately will lead to greater prosperity and security for iran giving up the acquisition of nuclear weapons or will they continue down a path that is going to lead to confrontation or could the arabians gave up on
9:21 am
nukes dismantle their program complied absolutely with every requirement in the end it didn't matter they gave up nukes and then america took back the whole perspire it's a thing we'll see how we do with the rand probably we want to very well with them but that's ok too they've got to understand. life because i don't think they do understand life when life gives you lemons make lemonade so long as trump doesn't take the lemons too regardless perhaps this time things will be different iran was a one off right wrong i am pleased that the united states and north korea yesterday reached agreement this agreement is good for the united states good for our allies and good for the safety of the entire world in one thousand nine hundred ninety four bill clinton made a deal with north korea north korea could tale's its nuclear program and the u.s.
9:22 am
builds two nuclear reactors for it to compensate energy loss gives it a half a million tons of fuel per year and normalize relations they never built the nuclear reactors they never sent any fuel and they never signed an official peace agreement you're seeing a pattern here right perspire it seems to be the carrot except what no one seems the realizes it's dangling not for tasting that just life they've got to understand. life because i don't think they do understand life. a new study of u.s. broadcast media has revealed but ninety percent of stories covering donald trump in the first four months of twenty eight dean have been negative killam up and now looks at how the preoccupation with the president on ticks is making many people
9:23 am
fed up there is no shortage of trump bashing in american media and unsurprisingly americans are pretty sick of it some media personalities have even come forward and stated the obvious we in the media are essentially all trump all the time and the upshot is that we risk not covering a lot of really important things at home and around the world and what about the wave of teachers' strikes arizona oklahoma west virginia this is a historic shake up in the american educational system but the american media blinked and didn't notice i didn't see her to be anything in the media about this on any of the networks even some of the networks that we want. you know russia turn the channel russia russia russia russia and how about poverty thirteen percent of americans live below the poverty line homelessness is on the rise having increased for the first time since the great recession but the media doesn't put much attention onto that issue either.
9:24 am

9:25 am
is almost never polls show that americans have a lot of real fears these days they're worried about health care education economic growth and jobs however the media seems to focus their outrage only on a man with a bad toupee was busy ranting on twitter this is how michelle wolfe the comedian put it at the white house correspondents dinner i made it known in this room once to admit is that trump has helped all of you he couldn't sell steaks or vide or water or college or ties or eric. but he has helped you he's helped you sell your papers and your books in your t.v. media like almost everything else in the land of the free is a business profits keep rolling in while americans lose a limb oppen artsy new york. well if you would like to have your say on any of those stories why not leave a comment on one of our social media pages we're on twitter facebook instagram
