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 that hamas maps and social media show the

fastest routes to reach israeli communities in case demonstrators make it through the security fence they have reported on hamas messages over loudspeakers that urged demonstrators to burst through the fence falsely claiming israeli soldiers were flying when in fact they were not the same loudspeakers are used by hamas to urge the crowds to quote get closer get closer to the security fence hamas has attacked the karim salone crossing the biggest entry point in gaza for fuel food and medical supplies this is how determined they are to make the lives of the palestinian people measurable. they light molotov cocktails attached to kites on fire and attempt to fly them into israel to cause as much destruction as possible. when asked yesterday why he put

a swastika on his burning kite the terrorist responded quote the jews go crazy when you mention hitler unquote. this is what is endangering the people of gaza make no mistake hamas is pleased with the results from yesterday. i asked my colleagues here in the security council who among us would accept this type of activity on your border no one would know country in this chamber would act with more restraint than israel has in fact the records of several countries here today suggest they would be much less restrained. those who suggest that the gaza violence has anything to do with the location of the american embassy are sorely mistaken rather the violence comes from those who reject the existence of

the state of israel in any location such a motivation the destruction of a united nations member state is so illegitimate as to not be worth our time in the security council other than the time it takes to denounce it yesterday's opening of our sense of our embassy in jerusalem is a cause for celebration for the american people moving the u.s. embassy to jerusalem was the right thing to do. it reflects the will of the american people it reflects our sovereign right to decide the location of our embassy a right that everyone in this room claims for their own country importantly moving our embassy to jerusalem also reflects the reality that jerusalem is the capital of israel it has served as israel's capital since the founding of the state it is the ancient capital of the jewish people there is no plausible peace agreement under

which jerusalem would no longer remain the capital of israel recognizing this reality makes peace more achievable not less the united states is prepared to support peace negotiations and a peace agreement in every way we want nothing more than peace a peace in which people of all faiths are free to worship in jerusalem a peace in which the rights of all people are respected and the future prospects of all people is bright. that peace will only be achieved if it is rooted in the realities that too many choose to deny. the united states action yesterday promoted the reality and the desire for peace it is our sincere wish that the nations of the world will join us in this pursuit of credible realistic and enduring peace. as i conclude i want to take a moment to mark the seventieth anniversary of israel's independence in this united

nations security council on behalf of the american people i congratulate our friends in israel on the remarkable achievement of seventy years of independence from humble and desperate beginnings a proud people have realized the prophet isaiah as vision of a light unto the nations may the next seventy years be ones of strength of hope and of peace thank you. i thank the representative of the united states for her statement and now i give the floor to the representative of united kingdom. thank you very much indeed imagine president and thank you very much to mr madden of for that very sobering briefing i'd like to start by thanking him in his star for everything that doing to try and calm down the violence and

also echo his tribute to the medical staff on the ground and his appeal for facilitation if you vacuum ation of the wounded. madam president we've seen a concatenation of loss of life casualties volume of live fire in gaza yesterday and this has been shocking and i think appalling to most of us it is a familiar depressingly familiar pattern that we have seen over recent weeks and it includes the deaths of children. at a highly sensitive time in the region we call for calm and we call for restraint a further escalation of violence serves no one's interests it is only destructive to peace efforts and to wind regional security. madam president we

understand sixty people were killed yesterday in gaza six of them children around two hundred seventy two thousand seven hundred and seventy one people were reported injured and that included over thirteen hundred by live ammunition the death toll on monday means that more powerless more than ninety palestinians have been killed in the past six weeks for approaching the fence that has been placed around gaza. there is an urgent need we believe to establish the facts around yesterday's events including why such a volume of live fire continues to be deemed justified the palestinian right to peaceful protest is undeniable but at the same time we are deeply concerned that peaceful protests in gaza are being exploited by extremist elements for example we've seen i.d.f. troops targeted by i.e.d.

and we've seen the use of molotov cocktails this is not acceptable. the palestinians have a right to peaceful protests and israel has an undeniable right to protect its borders from her mass and that the terrorist groups and threats the united kingdom remain strongly supportive of israel's right to defend itself. we recognize today as a sensitive anniversary for the palestinians we implore israel to act with restraint in accordance with international law and more than anything to ensure that its security forces do not resort to the use of excessive force. the volume of life i used in gaza yesterday and the consequent number of deaths is distressing and cannot be ignored by the council i want to reiterate the united kingdom support for independent and transparent investigations into the events that have taken place

and in recent weeks and including the extent to which israeli security forces rules of engagement are in line with international law the death toll alone won't such a comprehensive inquiry and we continue to word that the findings of these investigations be made public and if wrongdoing is found that those responsible be held to account. madam president our position on the status of jerusalem and the move of the you make an embassy is well know. our position is clear and longstanding should be the status of jerusalem should be determined to negotiate a settlement between the israelis and the palestinians and the recent should ultimately be the shared capital of the israeli and palestinian states we need to look forward and we need to work urgently towards a resolution of the longstanding issues between israel and the palestinian people.

like this council the united kingdom is committed to a two state solution with jerusalem as a shared capital and to achieving peace and stability in the wider region. we see negotiations towards a two state solution is the best way to end the occupation and to meet the national aspirations of the jewish and palestinian people's but now more than ever madam president we need a political process that delivers a two state solution we agree with the m four that the situation in gaza is desperate and deteriorating and that the international community must step up its efforts to that end madam president i'd like to close by making a request of the u.n. special coordinator for the middle east peace process that he and his office bring forward proposals to address the situation in gaza. we should include easing restrictions on access to movement and it should include international support for

urgent infrastructure and economic development projects we also reiterated our support for the egyptian led reconciliation process and then return the palestinian authority to full its ministration of the gaza strip thank you. i thank the representative of the them for his statement and now i view the florida detention center on through a national state of body. doesn't it is the. little ok i will just break in there we have been listening to a u.n. security council meeting holding an emergency meeting indeed to discuss the killings of over sixty gallons by israeli soldiers during protests on monday to summarize what we've been hearing over the past twenty minutes or so let's cross to our correspondent kill my been there for the latest hi there kalib we've been listening to nikki haley earlier on there giving a staunch defense of the embassy move the american embassy moved to jerusalem

summarize what else has been said there. well the meeting is called by kuwait it's an emergency meeting and they're discussing a draft statement condemning israel for the recent deaths in the protests you know we've heard it at this point sixty people died on monday's protest of this is would essentially condemn israel's actions at the border now when nikki haley spoke representing the united states not only did she defend israel and make statements defending the u.s. action regarding jerusalem but furthermore pointed the finger against the islamic republic of iran made accusations against the islamic republic of iran then heard from the u.k. the united kingdom made the point of not supporting the move of the embassy to jerusalem saying this should be determined by the outcome of negotiations now the meeting did open with kuwait which is an arab country and kuwait called the

emergency meeting was quite harsh in its words criticizing israel's actions so the meeting at this point is continuing now at this point we're hearing from the state of go live in south america there addressing the u.n. security council there making statements so at this point that's who's speaking. yeah we're just keeping abreast of any big news coming out of your speaking as well we may be crossing back to and fro but for the moment thanks very much for summarizing the last twenty twenty five minutes the security council for us well let's just sum up the situation as it stands if you are just joining us sir big story today 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 has 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 the u.s. controversially opened its new embassy in nearby in jerusalem. was the water glorious remember this moment was. this is this true. i don't know but 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 because we pray for the peace of jerusalem. cut.

i was right. i'm human vessel in the mud that way ever since the day plays 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 here they're hurling rocks and stones at the soldiers who are just a short distance in front of us might be softened the soldiers search through with the stop firing tear gas called the end and says have been ferrying wounded people if we saw from the numbers of people who took some of them serious these scenes looking but he said across the way that this is comes off the not taking away some kind of. the. least bit of a case has made itself to be in the pudding of tires and if you look at the deceptive and nothing small fires that have sponsored all along the road this comes

just a day off to the americans' new film embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem and that two spot the will stay on for life and since the last possible. two thousand and fourteen is the ticket. to vote if you thought it was likely what are both parties so we're running now because these kids are 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 bar and as you can see. the situation is extremely tense and it's just get out of there is a drawing 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 we're what's going on the. situation tense go from one moment to the next become incredibly tense policy at

our team. all right let's get a handle on more global news for across this hour europe is scrambling to reduce the damage caused to the iran nuclear deal after the u.s. poll diet britain france germany will meet the arena in foreign minister later on choose the now the u.k.'s foreign secretary states he will be discussing how to protect companies doing business in iran that's important because it's after a senior trump administration official said european companies trading with tehran could face penalties why would any business why would the shareholders of any business want to do business with the world's central banker better national terrorism. with america's growing intransigence 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 his promises that kim jong un may be on

shaky ground to let's see what our senior correspondent rob goes the a file to us this. 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 work threats to the united states. they will be met with fire fury. like the world has never seen 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. 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 it's a thing we'll see how we do with the rare and 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 tells its nuclear program and the u.s. 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. not for tasting that just life they've got to understand. life because i don't think they do understand life. make it bridge linking mainland russia to the crimean peninsula has been. officially unveiled six months ahead of schedule once it's fully operational it will reduce the region's reliance on sea 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 healed by many as a feat of engineering. for

you for. loving your putin was among the first to cross the

new bridge he drove its entire nineteen kilometers from mainland russia into the crimean city of bridge many of the bridges construction workers accompanied the president during the inaugural trip artie's daniel hawkins is there for us he's been following the grand opening busy quite a feat of engineering of course. four lanes of traffic at a real wage next year as well as to truck railway. bridge to. not only the longest in russia but the longest in europe construction began a couple of years back it's been built in record time for this size six months in fact ahead of shows all seems to be going to plan that now to put this into perspective just what a fear of engineering this is all from is rough conditions on the sea all the cut straight here the only learn link that they 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 required a huge amount of supporting structures as well to be precise more than thirty to our equivalent 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 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 saugus 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. five minutes to six pm here in moscow you're watching r.t. international i'll be back with your news headlines at the top of the hours the west. across europe municipalities are taking their water supply back from private companies who p.m.a. to me to people the sales will simple song alone even some company else will they invite private companies to take over the utilities anybody tell us the old. guys who got booked on the pier might be cool. just because.

of what you write in but the left bill brought up locals are ready to stand up for the basic human right of access to water it's about water but it's also over much more the water it's about to hurt and the redistribution of. their date downwards. united states. and its tax on other countries. economic sanctions are just the beginning another thing you like to do is play some military press around the countries that you're talking about.

and there has to be an effort to demonize that country and the leader of that country. is a responsibility for the head. and we need to make rules for the rest of. us without us there would be. seventy four design submissions. seven thousand pilings. to join judges. and eight hundred sixty nonstop days of work. a russian w.b. a champion of it. and a russian mob stuff. show you how and why the crimean bridge was built.

witnessed the construction of a unique transport artery that will help them out of crimea the faster most of those you know won't go for more snow yet it abuts real. about your sudden passing i've only just learned you worry yourself and taken your last wrong turn. your out got up to you as we all knew it would i tell you i'm sorry but only i could so i write these last words in hopes to put to rest these things that i never got off my chest. i remember when we first met my life turned on each breath. but then my feeling started to change you talked about war like it was again still some are fond of you those that didn't like to question our ark and

i secretly promised to never be like it said one does not leave a funeral the same as one enters the mind it's consumed with death this one different person to speak to now because there are no other takers. to lame that mainstream media has met its maker. with name a good manufacture consent to student of public wealth. when the ruling classes project themselves. out of the primary your realm lives only the one possible job. is to ignore middle room signals. or even uses the world.
