11:04 am
monday at least sixty people lost their lives in what's become the deadliest day in the israeli palestinian conflict since twenty fourteen the injuries quite incredible to twenty seven hundred more than currently injured lot of them hit with live ammunition well the violence came as the u.s. controversially opened its new embassy in nearby jerusalem. now there was a lot of glorious remember this moment was. this is this true. no nobody was whatever the word we extend to handed friendship to israel the palestinians and to all of their neighbors may there be peace.
11:05 am
in. the world we pray for the peace of jerusalem. i was wrong. i'm having to tell in the i'm not that 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 hid there hurling rocks and stones at the soldiers who are just a short distance in front of us. that called me and says has been ferrying wounded people if we so often the number of people who are these are just some of the serious these things i think the few say. that this is comes off economic but taking aim at a certain kind of to. the to keep. getting
11:06 am
least bit of a cake maybe this will be the beginning of time as you keep the distance of that there is nothing more fires that have stopped it all along the road this comes just a day off to the americans move the embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem and that two spot the would stay on for life and since the last possible. in two thousand and fourteen it's a ticket. to the good if you thought it was likely what was going on so we're running now because these two guys coming in our direction and. as you can see the crowd is moving it's always difficult to tell when exactly it's coming from so we just in to make our way for the back and as you can see. the situation is extremely tense and it's just get out of well we've run into the over the bodies pointing to see we think that it's close firing tear gas on the crowd here and so
11:07 am
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 tense go from one moment to the next becoming incredibly tense for listening at all team . let's cross live not to say here is a coup spokesperson for the international committee of the red cross in gaza thanks for being on the program this hour first of all how have medics in gaza been actually coping with the sheer volume of casualties you know we've just actually lost there so here is a coup there though a bit of an issue with connection what's expected the best the connection with the galaxy right throughout the last two days who will try and cross back to search here a spokesperson for the international committee of the red cross in gaza a little leave her in the program to get her take a lot of interesting questions to talk to actually we've got maybe the guest is now
11:08 am
back yeah we've got that guest. so you're can you hear me hopefully yes it's. perfect just a little bit of a connection issue but we'll keep we want to get some answers so we'll keep talking for as long as we can how have medics in gaza been actually coping with the volume of casualties there. it has been a tough day. yesterday tens of people lost their lives thousands have been injured and this is far beyond the capacity of a health system which was we can't in the past with the humanitarian crisis in gaza doctors who are struggling yesterday to cope with the influx of the patients. wouldn't have been possible for it to cope influx and time like sheep or
11:09 am
hospital only was dealing with four hundred injured wounded people at the same time the. doctors were all over warped over these seven past weeks already and yesterday too deep in the crisis that hospitals hospitals had been working with limited resources. doctors were working around the clock to cope with the influx of the wouldn't it and that that was a challenge for the doctors they triage i mean gaza doctors with the also with the stillness of our surgeon teams who are deployed in the hospitals stand side by side to the girl they took their testimonies that gathered the tolls did a very good job in a very limited resources they know how to deal with with the with the patient but
11:10 am
it was. far beyond their capacity to cope with for example so day palestine the crescent society whom their access to the border area to evacuate when did was to sell it it did by i.c.r.c. through the dialogue with. all sides in gaza and also in israel they were overwhelmed with the number. wounded evacuated to promote the border area they've managed they deployed their administrative costs to the area so. he says were not enough so they were using cars which are not equipped to be as ambulances so the how he in was we have helped with the dry as. we expanded they measure just a little bit it's the biggest hospital in gaza and it's usually the.
11:11 am
yeah just as expected there was a connection lost there with sue here try and maybe cross back a little bit later to see what else she had to say by the health system in general and indeed some rumors that we're hearing about butterfly bullets and high velocity munitions being used by the i.d.f. that some of the topics if we can get back on the program a little bit later for now let's move on to other world news this hour that we're closely following europe is scrambling to reduce the damage caused to the iran nuclear deal after the u.s. pulled out at britain france germany will meet the iranian foreign minister later on tuesday the u.k. foreign secretary say he will be discussing how to protect companies doing business with iran that's after a senior administration official said european companies trading with tehran could face penalties. why would any business why would the shareholders of any business
11:12 am
want to do business with the world's central banker better national terrorism. but america is growing intransigent towards iran over its nuclear program is in stark contrast to how it's dealing with north korea is things may look ruthie right now but there's a warning that if from can be on iran his promises to kim jong un may be on shaky ground to here's our senior correspondent rob because the 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
11:13 am
a penchant for the dramatic really made the best of the opportunity north korea. 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 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. acquisition of nuclear weapons or will they continue down a path that is going to lead to confrontation or quote the radians gave up on
11:14 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 ity 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 nine hundred ninety four bill clinton made a deal with north korea north korea could tale's its nuclear program and the us
11:15 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 carrots 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 life. france's plan to tighten the law to protect children from sexual harassment has aren't raged experts who say it will make the problem much worse we look into that after this.
11:16 am
what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race. theory dramatic developments only really exist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. to the politics in washington not been driven by the fossil fuel energy lobbyist they could've 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 dodgy for a lot of reasons and now it's going to be obliterated by the chinese led revolution in song.
11:17 am
seventeen minutes into the program welcome back a mega bridge linking mainland russia to the crimean peninsula has been officially unveiled six months ahead of schedule is quite a vistas in that once it's fully operational it will reduce the region's reliance on sea young air 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. so
11:18 am
11:19 am
crimean city of courage many of the bridges construction workers accompanied the president during the inaugural parties during the hawkins days there for us following the crowd. is quite a feat of engineering for slides in the commons as the long haul lanes of traffic got to roll way due to open next year as well as to truck railway. bridge the crimea bridge not under the law most in russia but the lowest in europe construction began a couple of years but it's been built in time for. six months in fact ahead all seems to be going to plan and now to put it into perspective just what a fee of engineering missus. rough conditions on the sea all the cut straight here the only line link the daily 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 cause thirty million passengers will be
11:20 am
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. of steel was used. 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 be imported for the bridge and not by the sea all by. this project has been 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
11:21 am
peninsula. let's move to france where plans to change the laws there to give stricter punishments for child sex abusers have fallen foul of experts who say it will make the problem worse with the details in paris here charlotte. in march france announced that it was going to legislate curb sexual violence to cut down on sexism i mean q did in that legislation was due to be in egypt consent for sexual activity here in frogs not age of consent was said to be at fifteen now the reason that element of the law was put it because there was outrage after two cases emerged of an eleven year old girls who were deemed not to have been raped by adult men because they don't think of 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 choose day and that element the age of consent
11:22 am
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 our 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 queued 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.
11:23 am
when they still don't have one 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 task more news did not provoke any reaction from the government. who could from i refute they in total both who've been seen. 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've also said that it means they 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 act again won't be in place well that's our news looks at this hour if you would like to have your say on any of those stories why
11:24 am
not leave a comment on one of our social media pages where and twitter facebook instagram among others are watching international. manufacture consent to step into the public well. when the ruling classes protect themselves. with the fine merry go round certainly the one percent. we can all middle of the room say. the real news is really.

11:26 am
passing i've only just learnt you worry yourself in taking your last turn. you're out 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 arc and i secretly promised to never be like it said one does not leave a funeral the same as one enters the mind gets consumed with death this one difference i speak to now because there were no other takers. to claim that mainstream media has met its maker.
11:27 am

11:28 am
which i'm going to have some fun with over on this just to let people know so the first one is russian trolls ok. russians rules well you know the best way for television is actually to hold it up to the camera and you write it down first so i hope on can't you write it down like up here now that's ok so a three billion dollar sable trail pipeline designed to carry natural gas to the state of florida from alabama there were some protests against the december twenty sixth thing and mcclatchy news has kind of looked into the d.n.i. report and determined that actually it was because r.t.d. covered that and they mention r t but because there were some russian trolls they say on twitter that inflamed the protests the florida people themselves have no agency they do selves couldn't possibly ever think that well i don't want to pipeline. and outside my house no forget that obviously stupid people like
11:29 am
dog floridians don't have agency just look at the news any all the news of the weird comes from florida but russia's hidden hand in the florida pipeline protests was extensive according to sources familiar with the operations at least eight russian accounts most tied to the farm known as the internet research agency sent at least sixteen social media messages excoriating the savile trail pipeline or retreating messages from one of his most prominent opponents a frequent guest on r t the tweets were sent to a total of more than forty thousand followers as well as anyone else who saw them via hashtags this is real dr evil stuff max we must uncover this story so that by the way the prominent opponent of the pipeline through florida was tim kaine
11:30 am
over who is a progressive democrat what was a progressive democrat who ran against. debbie wasserman schultz who is you know basically hillary clinton's body and neo con neo conservative neo liberal sort of democrat and the way so the progressive democrat they're all russian bots are right well the theme of the merging here as it relates to the energy industry yes ok this is an underlying theme yes that you're going to be exploring as i understand it yes and of course the energy industry in america is possibly the most corrupt of all industries and so they need this type of media manipulation and scapegoating to justify two very important facts that they're responsible for one is in collusion with wall street in the financing of their industry they've trid the biggest wealth and income gap in the history of the world and bigger than the robber barons and opiate addicts from coast to coast and to environmental whole accost what they
