yeah. fresh on wrists in the disputed israeli palestinian territory after school wars are killed during monday's protests against the relocation of the u.s. embassy to jerusalem. europe pushes the save the iran nuclear deal in the u.s. with british french and german diplomats to for talks shortly with the really in foreign minister. connecting crimea to their russian. europe's longest bridge which is being hailed as a feat of engineering. around

the clock across the world this is r.t. international from the team and myself you know neal welcome to the program our top story tens of thousands of mourners have turned 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 twenty seven hundred others were injured many with live ammunition the violence came as the u.s. controversially opened its new embassy in nearby jerusalem. there was water glorious remember this moment was. this is this true. no no

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. i'm human vessel in the way ever since the day phase ended our lives have you know what i think to protest against these may be 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 kid they're hurling rocks and stones at the soldiers who are just a short distance in front of us the stuff. with the stuff that holds me

and says has been ferrying wounded people if we saw from the numbers of people who had been injured and we think that some of them have serious these scenes i think the few should across the way that this is comes off the not taking them a certain kind of to. the to the least making these maybe it'll be the beginning of time and if you look at the distance of it and nothing 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 then to spot the would stay overnight and since the last possible. in two thousand and fourteen it's a. good if you thought it was racially profiling so we were running now because these kids are coming in our direction and as you can see the crowd is moving it's always difficult to tell where exactly it's coming from so we just going to make our way for the bar and as you can see. the situation is

extremely tense and it's just get out of there right i mean to tell you 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 what's going on the. situation has go from one member to the next becoming incredibly tense for this to me as our team. with the backlash over the israeli military's actions growing the u.n. security council is now holding an emergency meeting human rights groups have been voicing grave concern over the i.d.f. excessive use of force against the protesters in gaza as they say they have described what took place on monday as on acceptable inhumane war crimes and a bloodbath israel maintains or wherever that it's simply defending its border from

those attempting to breach it well a number of governments have also decried the united states this season to move its embassy to jerusalem the french foreign ministry says washington's embassy relocation broke international law the dutch government echoed that assessment and also arland said america has our graphy added tensions in the region well south africa and turkey strongly condemn the move on of recall there and busters to israel and crow 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 could make the peace process in the middle east even more difficult or escalate tension across the middle east to a ten year old more i believe that the current us president does not have the ability to differentiate and judge about the long term consequences of his actions . you know we're getting a lot of reaction on this we put together a panel of guests to discuss what the latest bloodshed means for both israel and the occupied palestinian territories only yearly misery some people around us want us to expose polar runs through those who declare that they want to kill us who declare that they want to get into it by booby traps by clutching called by it are you fools poor that they're just you know at the regional high limit our other

one of these are the exact diagrams that got her on to some years later in that has only to for for eleven years you're the one who initiated this you initiated this you thought you know well the only your start up steadily is what policy has brought to where would you tell where you have anything resides raising children and. now 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 oh

sorry how magic arabs are about how accurate is what do all of these protests. all of these are all just same guys that were happening on gazans inside the area occupied by israel in one nine hundred sixty seven israel use disproportionate force in an illegal manner. killing scores of palestinians and wounding thousands literally thousands more but you know hamas is not my favorite organization. so hamas is a politically bankrupt group which has completely failed to exploit israel's gross gross contradictions and to use them against the this increasingly the state what

a hamas has consistently by attacking. jews qua jews and therefore forcing 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 stop. 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. moving on now 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 in foreign minister later on tuesday the u.k. foreign secretary says he will be discussing how to protect companies doing business with iran that's after senior trump administration officials and european

companies trading with iran could face penalties why would any business why would the shareholders of any business want to do business with the world's central banker been a national terrorism. well america's growing in trudgeon and towards iran over its nuclear program is in stark contrast to how it's dealing with north korea's things may look rosy right now but there's a warning that if trump can bail on iran is promises to kim jong un may be in shaky ground too here's our senior correspondent right there steve we all know what carrot and stick diplomacy is but these these goes beyond that way beyond their 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 a penchant for the dramatic really made the best of the opportunity north korea. best not make it even worse 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 all 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 quit the radians gave up on 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 of the thing well 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 us builds two nuclear reactors for it to compensate energy loss gives it hard for 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 to realizes it's for dangling not for tasting that just life they've got to understand. life because i don't think they do understand like. switching gears now a bridge linking mainland russia to the crimean pendant. has been officially on failed six months ahead of schedule once it is fully operational it will reduce the

region's reliance on sea earth transport and a lot more tourists to visit the area which is a popular summer destination for many russians here's why it's being hailed by many as a feat of engineering. well

you fill in the words. of love in your putin also among the first to cross the new bridge he drove the entire nineteen comatose from mainland russia into the crimean city of bridge many of the bridges construction workers accompany the president during the an all girl trip or to use it daniel hawkins there has been following. this quite a feat of engineering forced mind to become much of the long haul lanes of traffic on a real way due to open next year as well as to truck railway this bridge the crimea

bridge is now a lot of a long list in russia but the longest in europe construction began a couple of years but has been built in time for this size six months in fact ahead all seems to be going to plan and now to put this into perspective just what a fear of engineering this. often there is rough conditions on the sea all the current straight here the only learn link that the only link rather to crimea previously was by air or by ferry which was not always available due to the rough weather now there is a link all the time forty forty thousand cars thirty million passengers will be able to carry through this bridge at its peak hours it required a huge amount of supporting structures as well to be precise more than thirty two hour equivalents of steel was used for the supporting pillars many of which extend 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 long time from the czarist times to the start of the soviet union here and 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. reporting and we keep the news rolling in about ninety seconds time you're watching r.t. interest. when lawmakers manufactured them sentenced to public will. when the ruling closest to protect themselves. with the famous

merry go round be the one percent. we can all middle of the room sick. to lose the real news. and the politics in washington up and driven by the fossil fuel energy lobbyist they could of 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 truly dodgy for a lot of reasons and now it's going to be obliterated by the chinese led revolution in song.

stork bock in france where plans to change laws there to give stricter punishments for child sex abusers have fallen foul of experts who say it will make the problem worse of getting to the bottom of this story for us from paris or charlotte dubin skate in monster france announced that it was going to legislate. sexual violence to cut down on sexism and included in that legislation was due to be in egypt consent to sexual activity in france not age of consent was said to be at fifteen the reason that element of the it was put a big. as there was outrage after two cases emerged of eleven year old girls who were deemed not to have been raped by adult men because they don't become hers they don't been threatened there had been no violence or surprise 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 advocate according to our to go to child abuse could be considered an advance not a crime. mr president there are two hundred fifty people who demand the law be repealed well they've now launched a 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. when they still don't have one when you read and read this law from one point in another when you are sure that you have read and understood it all it was going to nothing happen at all as if there was no me to movement as if all these chalking in upon testimonies did not provoke any reaction from the government cooper from i refute the in total both we've been seen here on the lies itself the text of 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 also say that it means that it could pose a real danger if rapists are actually convicted under lesser charges meaning that they will be seen as rapists by society and the protections necessary to make sure that they don't commit such an act again won't be in place. ok

i want to bring you know back to our top story let's get some pictures now live shots from the u.n. security council emergency session in new york over monday's violence saw israeli soldiers killed more than six the palestinian protesters a lot of a. incidents to discuss here of course because today is the. which is the seventieth anniversary of what palestinians call the displacement against israel's creation a lot of tension in israel ongoing this stage yesterday of course though as we have been seeing throughout the program was the deadliest since twenty fourteen since the. israel war then with as we said over sixty people dead

and let's try and listen in for a moment just to see what's being said here will cross in and if we're hearing anything of note let's listen. to the. suggested yesterday and which was a. endanger israel's crisis as a. parent and independent. investigation into the massacres perpetrated against. holding those. responsible accountable and the council's continued in a bid. to take any measure in order to establish investigative i'm asking is and then we will make a move in the general assembly or in the human rights council order to guarantee that those perpetrators perpetrating these actual are held accountable and do not live in impunity and we would also like to submit to suggestions to avoid the excessive use of force by the israeli occupation authorities and they continued violence and we called for taking it measures that would guarantee offering

international protection to the palestinian people that he would like to confirm what has been stipulated by six resolutions six of five and then all four but the council voted to apply the fourth geneva convention and what is happening in the occupied territories and the need to offer international protection to the unarmed palestinian people. madam president we express our deep concern over the unilateral measures that israel or the occupying authority is undertaking realty to and it is a method to change facts on the ground in the occupied territories the most comment of which is a continued settlement activity and expansion of existing settlements which are illegal and illegitimate measures that are a clear violation of security council resolution international law and especially resolution two three three four. and the not moreover chance for into some diplomatic missions. is a clear violation of security council resolutions of evidence of relevance

especially resolutions four seven six and four seven eight this resolution is to consider such unilateral measures to be null and void in what we would like to confirm that such measures that violate its just a law only serves to undermine efforts to achieve peace said deep intentions and cause and range anger as well as push the region towards the region towards one of violence and chaos and instability in the status quo it supports palestinian demands in order to activate some international mechanisms that currently exist such as the international quartet by expanding its membership to include other regional elements of the list provided that it remains and the united nations as a sponsor of the peace process and moreover we support all the legal and peaceful measures taken by the sister of the state of palestine at the national international levels in order to entrench and then hands its sovereignty over a sheriff and the occupied palestinian territories come in what could we also

confirm that the peace required must start with an end to israeli occupation that is about to complete its fifty first year in a few days and this must be based on international system is resolutions as well as a not for peace possible and the roadmap and the arab peace initiative that. was adopted by all arab states at the beirut summit in the year two thousand and two little former see how this and this must be based on this is withdraw from palestinian syrian and lebanese territories occupied and until the june nineteenth sixty seven borders it must also deal with all finest have to solutions and must be added to the enjoyment of the person people of all their political legitimacy rights including the right to self-determination and establishing an independent state to jerusalem as their capital the passage in peoples are looking to the united nations and the security council to activate what this ticket what this organization has taken upon itself in order to achieve their mentors

a multinational security here would like to renew our for solidarity what this is to the person in people in order to defend their just cause and there was damage as including their historic and firm right into saddam would have been guaranteed by the relevant international resolutions we're going to firm that is to the saloon is the capital of the state of palestine will call on countries to recognize the state of palestine and occupied east jerusalem as its capital i thank you madam president . i thank the representative of kuwait for his statement and now i give the floor to the representative of the united states. thank you madam president today's session was called to discuss the issue of violence in the middle east we are all concerned about violence in the middle east the united states deplores the loss of human life but there is a lot of violence throughout the region and i will note that the double standard is all too common in this chamber and working overtime today. last week iranian forces

attacked small positions sorry last week running forces attacked israeli positions on the golan heights launching rockets from syria. this was a reckless provocation and escalation that must be stopped it is an example of regional violence that should occupy our attention here in the security council also last week aronian proxy forces in yemen launched missiles into saudi arabia it was not the first time they have done it this two is regional violence that should occupy our attention here in the security council in recent days hamas terrorists backed by iran have incited attacks against israeli security forces and infrastructure. that is violets that should occupy our attention to. the common thread in all of this is the destabilizing conduct of the iranian regime

a regime that insists on promoting violence throughout the middle east while depriving its own people of basic human rights the united states welcomes a discussion of this violence in the middle east we welcome discussing the ways we can cooperate with each other to put an end to this violence there is far too little discussion in the security council on iran's destabilizing presence in syria its promotion of violence in yemen its support for terrorism in gaza and its dangerous and illegal weapons build up in lebanon however in the minds of some today's meeting was not called to discuss any of those examples of violence in the middle east today's meeting was called to discuss the violence that some suggest was connected with yesterday's opening of the united states embassy in jerusalem. for some people the embassy opening is said to be

a reason to engage in violence. how is that justified as our president said when he announced the decision in december the location of our embassy has no bearing on the specific boundaries of israeli sovereignty in jerusalem or the resolution of contested borders it has no bearing on jerusalem's holy sites it does not prejudge whatever the parties might negotiate in a peace agreement it does not under mind the prospects for peace in any way and yet for some this is supposedly a cause for violence but let's remember that the hamas terrorist organization has been inciting violence for years long before the united states decided to move our embassy in recent days multiple news organizations have documented the hamas incitement in gaza they have reported.
