i. think criticism the u.s. claims the decision to move its embassy in israel to jerusalem did not inflame the protests in gaza or on monday in which israeli soldiers killed sixty. it does not under mind the prospects for peace in any way and yet for some this is supposedly a cause for. coming up to this bullet in europe pushes to save the iran nuclear deal of the u.s. pull with british french and german diplomats juva talks shortly with the iranian foreign minister. and connecting crimea to the russian mainland for dinner putin earlier inaugurating europe's longest bridge which was being hailed as a big feat of engineering.

either here most marty h.q. moscow would welcome for me kevin and the rest of the team dominating the coverage tonight again the massive up scale of violence on the israel gaza border in the last twenty four hours and the latest on that is that america's u.n. envoy has claimed washington's decision to move its embassy in israel to jerusalem did not exacerbate those mass protests across the occupied palestinian territories monday in gaza sixty demonstrators were shot dead by israeli soldiers his column opened with more on nikki haley's address to choose days emergency meeting of the security council wait called the emergency meeting of the fifteen member body that leads the united nations and put forward a draft statement criticizing israel for its acts. it is on the border we know that

more than sixty protesters were killed on monday and so now we have this emergency meeting now following kuwait which presented their draft statement we then heard from nikki haley representing the united states nikki haley in her remarks said that she wasn't sure that the decision by the united states to move the u.s. embassy to jerusalem had anything to do with the recent violence this is nikki haley it has no bearing on jerusalem's holy site 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 now speaking for the united states and nikki haley made clear that she was very supportive of israel and she went as far as to congratulate israel for its seventieth anniversary this is nikki haley congratulating israel 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 moving the embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem is not up to us it's a question of international law to trump administration refuses to listen to what the world is say to a stated in the un resolutions in particular the security council resolutions and international law while the palestinian people are hit by catastrophe israeli celebrate seventy years of independence this is just another example of the u.s. totally ignoring our feelings and right now other members of the u.n. security council took to the floor and spoke we heard the united kingdom sweden and other countries are criticizing israel's actions while voicing support for israel and at the same time saying they did not agree with. the u.s.

move to move the embassy to jerusalem saying that israel's capital is something that should be determined in the negotiations that are taking place and would lead up to the creation of a palestinian state now russia criticized actions that appear to be escalating tensions in the region. and we also heard from the representative of the palestinian authority under u.n. rules if you or if your country or your state is included in the in the u.n. meeting you have the right to address the meeting the palestinian representative asked israel why they have so often blocked an independent inquiry by the united nations into their actions pointing out that u.n. officials would be willing to launch an inquiry into their actions but israel has blocked such an initiative now bolivia and other countries were harshly critical of israel for their recent activities and the killing of protesters however we heard the united states speaking very very strongly in support of israel and then pointing the finger at the islamic republic of iran for tensions and difficulties

in the region so it was quite a heated meeting different views expressed by different countries all eyes were on the u.n. security council when that emergency meeting was called by kuwait. meantime tens of thousands of mourners have been turning out and go for the funerals of the protesters killed the soldiers among the sixty people lost their lives in what's become the deadliest day in the israeli palestinian conflict since twenty forty more twenty seven hundred others were injured too many with live ammunition the violence came as the u.s. controversially opened but new embassy admit budget. this through. i don't know but i know that

out of whatever the word we extend a hand in friendship to israel the palestinians and to all of their neighbors may there be peace. that was what we pray for the peace of jerusalem. that. i was looking. at him best well in the way it was 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 here they're hurling rocks and stones at the soldiers who are just a short distance in front of us. that holds me and says has been ferrying wounded people if we saw from the numbers of people who

. say these. this is comes off you cannot take a son to. the to. the fold it came to me it's to be the beginning of time if you look at it just accept it and nothing more fires that have sponsored all along the road this comes just a day off to the americans newfield embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem and met to sponsor the will stay on for life and since the last possible back in two thousand and fourteen it's a to. take a look at that while it was likely what was going on so we were running now because these tear gas coming in our direction and as you can see the college is moving it's always difficult to tell where exactly it's coming from so we just kind of make our way through the fast and as you can see. the situation is

extremely tense and it's just get out of. one thousand feet so we think it's going spawning tear gas on the crowd here and so we're going to move all the way back so we're not quite on top of the soldiers and i think. what's going on the. situation to go from i'm going to make the county incredibly tense for list we have often seen. i spoke earlier to the israel and palestine directorate he would writes what she believes israel's use of excessive force in libation is a violation of international law. israeli officials and made quite clear that there . are regulations permit then to open fire on demonstrators irrespective of whether or not they pose an imminent threat which is the threshold required under international law in effect of lee turn the no go zone into a free fire zone and then they fired into protesters inside of gaza not by you

have an instant human rights watch has accumulated not posed the kind of threat that would justify the use of force remember israel is kept gaza under closure for a decade caged into a forty by eleven kilometer strip under occupation for a half century and quite simply their use of force does not meet international standards israel has the right to protect and authorize crossing of borders but the way to respond to that is to follow that you want guiding principles and use non-lethal means and arrest but we're talking about firing into gaza not actual individuals crossing the strip they've created an argument that obscures the reality of. forces safely tucked away inside of israel taking off one by one protesters who do not pose an imminent threat and said if gaza so knows well some of the political ramifications are happening over it to record it to israel and the u.s. over. the israeli military's response to the protests in gaza turkish president

reggie baird there on early described israel both as an apartheid and a terrorist state and chris also strongly condemned washington's decision to relocate its embassy to jerusalem american religion 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 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 well turkey's expelled the israeli ambassador and israel has responded by ordering the turkish console to leave for an unspecified period of time other countries have hit out at israel too though france says washington's embassy relocation broke international law the dutch government echoed that assessment and islanders said that america has aggravated tensions in the region. other news tonight.

u.s. has imposed sanctions on the government around central banker and another senior official of the institution it comes as britain france and germany hold meetings with the iranian foreign minister in the attempt to try to save that huge twenty fifty nuclear deal which washington of course recently pulled out of and says it churkin as the latest from brussels. here in brussels massive attempts to try to salvage this nuclear iran deal better of course was seen as a breakthrough back in two thousand to fifteen what it was signed later to come in for some twenty sixteen this was a deal of course that was meant to lift punishing sanctions off iran in exchange for them to their nuclear program that had been there for huge concern for the west for quite some time and of course now with the u.s. having announced that they will be withdrawing from this massive deal with donald trump announcing this earlier this month the question here in brussels is what to do next especially in light of that some of the messages coming from washington in

terms of the future for european companies that are drew doing trade with iran as we speak is the u.s. prepared to go after companies in our allies like britain france and germany if they try to continue to do business the sanctions regime that is now in place is very clear about what the requirements are europeans are going to face the effect of u.s. sanctions already are really why would any business why would the shareholders of any business want to do business with the world's central banker of international terrorism around the u.s. is clearly no longer happy with this deal the e.u. and other signatories have made it clear that they believe that the deal that they had come up with the so-called c.p.o. way or the joint comprehensive plan of action was actually working efficiently and to them the mission is now to preserve this deal as best as they can. we cannot accept the extraterritorial nature of the american sanctions we friesen challenge

then we need to tackle particularly at a european level. a few meetings in the next makes days to be sure that it's possible france does joey a terrific collection transition that this collection. federalization surround so many opening dozen companies then also made clear by iran that it also wants this deal to keep functioning they just want to assure and says that there was benefits for them that they had agreed on would remain in place because you would need to do to keep its deal on life to make sure that you don't confuse your benefit. the way things stand now we have run obviously trying to brush up on france germany and great britain who want to preserve this deal again hosted here. at the hospice is of the e.u. foreign policy chief with moderating if you can spread it that way the talks that are taking place here today but obviously this is going to be a difficult process ahead as they try to figure out how exactly to move forward and

possibly restate this deal if necessary yes things watch out internationally exactly forty minutes post not at night here now after the break france's plan to tongue the law to protect children from sexual harassment has outraged experts they say it's going to make the problem worse tell you all about coming up. what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. some want to. have to going to be busy like that before three of the people. interested always in the water. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guest of

the world of politics or business i'm show business i'll see you then. so big day for russia today that mega bridge linking mainland russia to the crimean peninsula was officially unveiled six months ahead once is fully operational it will reduce the region's reliance on sea and air transport and a lot more tourists to visit the area too is the hope which is a popular summer destination certainly for many russians here's why it's being held by many as a big feat of engineering. massive

structure isn't it well as you'd expect president to my potent was out the opening ceremony over the new bridge. so you feel like you were. and indeed the russian leader was among the first to cross it he drove its entire nineteen kilometers from mainland russia which the crimean city and catch some of the bridges construction workers accompany the president on that big an oval trip as the sun shone down holkins was there to reporting back force base quite a feat of engineering for slides and economics is a long haul lanes of traffic on a realm laid open next year as well to track fell way this bridge to crimea bridge is now let out of a long list in russia but the lowest in europe construction began a couple of years back it's been built in record time for. six months in fact had only seems to be going to plan and now to put this into perspective. just what a fear of engineering this is all from 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 world to be precise more than thirty two tower 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 before the bridge or 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. plans changed to go straight to punishments for child sex abusers and fallen foul of experts who say it's going to make the problem worse the details from paris. tonight in march france announced that it was going to legislate. further sexual violence to cut down on sexism and included in that legislation was due to be an age of consent for sexual activity here in france and that age of consent was set to be at fifteen now the reason that element of the law was put in because they was outraged often choose cases emerged of an eleven year old girls who were deemed not to have been great. by adult men because they don't think of hers they don't been threatened there have 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's 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 wall 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 do all good for the change say they need 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 work when you read and 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 tassimo news is not provoking any reaction from the government cooper who could. i refute the in total boof we've been seeing. the text of this 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 act again won't be in place shala do been reporting them that's the way just some of the world looks tonight in the top headlines much more from us of course online at r.t. dot com from here in moscow is kevin i mean the rescue teams and thanks for watching and stay with us to more great programs in your part of the world right after this break. max geysers financial survival guide liquid those that you can convert music as quite easily. to keep in mind though as a tremendous place of. record. seventy

four design submissions. seven thousand islands. to join judges. eight hundred sixty nonstop days a book. a russian w.b. . and a russian stuff. show you how. the crimean bridge was built. witnessed the construction living you need to transport. the well downs of crimea. faster most of those while google more familiar quite a bit. about your sudden passing i've only just learnt you worry yourself in taking your last bang turn. your attitude up to you as we all knew it would i tell you i'm sorry

finally 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 feelings started to change you talked about more like it was a cave still some are fond of you those that didn't like to question our arc and i secretly promised to never be like him it said one does not leave a funeral the same as one enters my mind it's consumed with death this one difference is speaking out because there are no other takers. to blame that mainstream media has met its maker. for a world cup twenty eight team coverage we've signed one of the greatest goalkeepers of alternative but there was one more question and by the way who's going to be our coach six. guys i know you are nervous he's

a huge star among us and the huge amount of pressure to come out you have to go i mean eighty percent of the digital with you and we'll show you a great game they're pretty good you are the rock at the back nobody gets busted you we need you to get the ball going let's go. alone oh there's a war in europe and i'm really happy for drawing down to him for the two thousand and three and world cup in russia meet the special one come all the ultra gracious me to just say the reno theology team's latest edition to make up a bigger certainly better jersey look. at why too many clubs. so i know the. football isn't only about what happens on the pitch for the final school it's about the passion from the families it's the age of the shaper money. and spending to the twenty million.

it's an experience like. i want to share what i know about the beautiful game a great chance for. the banks. separated by three thousand miles when we think of hollywood we don't necessarily associate it with washington politics but by its very nature imitates and reflects life whether promoting lifestyles idiology cold war the media has a powerful. public opinion.

hollywood greats graham detention until. we know politicians court hollywood stars for support katy perry is paid over seventy thousand dollars to perform for the hillary clinton campaign well it seems no money was needed for that he stood to stump at their public a national convention in two thousand and twelve harvey weinstein's ties to the clintons and barack obama ran deeper than the millions of dollars of campaign contributions he's raised obama's daughter malia went to in turn for the weinstein company after his presidency a political campaign support should be expected from citizens celebrity or not. the deeper threat arises when film and media are influenced to tell stories on behalf of the political establishment such products could be construed as propaganda.

there were a lot of people in hollywood who have some kind of relationship with the cia and department of defense and off a long list of individuals that we have in the book maybe loads of these people have visited langley and some of them have a close connection. so ben affleck for instance but affleck's former wife jennifer got it on paper equipment out of the cia in early two thousand and thirteen americans might have found it curious to see the first lady appear via satellite at the academy awards ceremony to announce the best picture oscar for a film about the rescue of american hostages from iran in one thousand nine hundred by the cia well when i think of other films big films that have conveyed the cia's message i think argo argo was a film that talks about the daring do of

a couple of cia and soon to go to iran and rescue six american diplomats the iranians wanted to let go of those hostages pretty quickly they didn't really want to cause a problem with the united states of america but i had told the khamenei who is meant personified as evil and the u.s. press had made a deal with the reagan administration urged the reagan campaign at that point not to release the hostages and only after reagan had been elected strangely enough that day the hostages were released so that bill neglects to mention how pivotal regnum ministration was for breaking campaign was in making sure that those hostages want released it was called the october so. arise the october surprise may have set the stage for the iran contra scandal of the one nine hundred eighty s. as reagan's white house cut deals with the iranian government to sell them arms in exchange for assistance in releasing american hostages including cia agents in

lebanon on the proceeds from those arms sales relief diverted to the contra armies fighting to overthrow the socialist government in nicaragua he betrayed america what he had done was far worse than nixon and watergate and here was reagan that way with it katharine graham he was one of the leaders of the conservative movement there to kill off she said no more watergate's because she said the country can't survive so when the iran contra broke there was no cooperation from the media to go after reagan. so for example in one thousand yards before there was a film called counter-measures which had been scripted in green day it was going to star sigourney weaver she did davis and it was you know big big production but it was on an aircraft carrier and it referred to iran contra the cia gunrunning scandal involving iran.
