minister. this is art international news at midnight live from moscow with me kevin owen well welcome into this thirty minute live news update a lot of big stories to brief you on tonight first breaking news state t.v. in north korea is reporting that the country has canceled wednesday's high level talks with the south the decision said to have been taken in response to seoul currying out joint military drills with the united states it's long been a bone of contention let's go to washington to get the latest on this it's pretty significant it could be a looming crisis and could be talks off i guess scenario carnes their high sabera. how it will this definitely comes as a blow considering the storage developments we've seen recently but in addition to canceling tomorrow's summit north korea is reported to have threatened to cancel its highly anticipated meeting with trump that's scheduled for june twelfth in

singapore now this is all due to washington's military drills with salt. which is always been a topic of discussion but it seems that the d.p. r. k. has finally decided to put its foot down. i. i. now the d.p. r. k. has made it clear that these joint drills there and it security describing it as a rehearsal for invasion and many of you these fears is legitimate given the history of countries that have willingly surrendered their w m d's but this was in fact one of the points agreed upon back in january when the north agreed to stop its nuclear tests in the south agreed to stop its drills with the us and it was

considered a confirmed once again when kim and moon met last month pledging peace in korea so the question is will this hinder denuclearization efforts will just have to see what happens so things considered change quickly in a potential a cuddly samir a cot in washington d.c. thanks very much for that update. america's u.n. envoys claimed washington's decision to move its embassy in israel to jerusalem did not exacerbate the mass protests across the occupied palestinian territories monday but see even though more than one hundred thousand gazans turned out to oppose the decision and were met with extreme force by the israeli military. 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 speaking for the united states and nikki haley made clear that

she was very supportive of israel and she one is far is to congratulate israel for its seventieth anniversary 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 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 rights moving the embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem is not up to the u.s. it's a question of international law the trump of ministration refuses to listen to what the world say to what stated in the un resolutions in particular the security council resolutions and international law kuwait called the emergency meeting of the fifteen member body that leads the united nations and kuwait put forward

a draft statement criticizing israel for its activities on the border we know that more than sixty protesters were killed on monday. tens of thousands of mourners have been turning out in gaza for the funerals of the protestors killed by israeli soldiers monday at least sixty lost their lives khaled was saying and 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 violence came as the u.s. controversially opened its new embassy in jerusalem. now there was one of gloria's remember this moment was. this is this true. i don't know but it

was one of the herd 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. i was wrong. and him to tell him the amount that way in the sense that they phrase ended our lives have you know driving 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 the soldiers who are stuck here that holds the end in and says has been ferrying wounded people if we so often the number of people who. are serious these scenes i think the future is

a possibility that this is comes off the not taking aim at a certain kind of to. the to keep. getting least bit of a case maybe this is to be the beginning of time as you keep the distance i began to think more fires that have sponsored all along the road this comes just a day off to the americans knew the embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem and the two spots the would stay on for life and since the last possible best. and two thousand and fourteen is a. good if you thought it was mostly was so we were running now because these tear gas coming in our direction and our arms as you can see the cloud is moving it's always difficult to tell where exactly it's coming from so we're just going to make our way for the back and as you can see. the situation is extremely tense let's just get out if there is

a prime minister by the duty by these 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 what's going on. the. situation tense go from one moment to the next becoming incredibly tense policy at r t. so the day on from the turmoil and bloodshed the u.s. president said his best wishes to muslims around the world as they begin observing the holy month of ramadan donald trump's message said the holiday is a quote time for reflection and spiritual growth and praise the richness that muslims are to american life the greetings were posted on the white house website. public gets to discuss what the latest bloodshed means for both israel and the palestinian territories. he'll be miserable some people around us want us to expose tolerance to those who declare that they want to

kill us who declare that they want to get into israel by booby traps by clutching caused by high falls poor that they're just you know at the regional high limit our other one is not exactly an island the narrator on a sunday or later in that has only two for for eleven years you are the one who initiated this you initiated this you thought you brought the well the only your start up steadily isn't what policy has brought to the way you tell me you have anything resides raises schiffman 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 the 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 l.o.l. how sorry how magic arabs are about how accurate israel what do all of these protests. all of these are all just same guys 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 and won't thousands literally thousands more but you know how mosses not my favorite organization. so the hamas is a political impact rock group which has completely failed to

exploit israel's growth growth contradictions and to use them against the increasingly race a state where hamas has failed consistently by attacking. jews quiet jews and therefore force making sure that israel is war 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 it is 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. new in the next the e.u. is insisting the run nuclear deal remains unchanged the blog foreign policy chief

made that announcement after talks in brussels between the u.k. france germany and iran is despite donald trump pulling the u.s. out of the agreement few days ago. it meant. as you know very well complex enough long enough to take enough doesn't need to be changed to modify it or have any addition everything is already written there but i hope to be able to make a deal with them a good deal a fair deal a good deal for them better for the better for them but we cannot allow them to have nuclear weapons meeting in brussels tonight also focused on the us threat to find companies that do business with iran and european powers agreed to protect firms who suffer as a result of those actions but despite defending around the u.k. foreign secretary boris johnson only gave a very different message in the british parliament might conceivably achieve

regime change at some stage in the in the near future but i cannot i cannot in any confidence sense that that would be a change for the better what the american seem to want to do is of what i was have done in previous times in iraq for instance is you sanctions to try to weaken the regime in order to bring about an agenda of regime change the americans. promote policing the europeans using the threat of sanctions to seen or you're not going to do this you're not going to help iran we're going to beggar their really record of me and hopefully bring don't want the public. thinks chilling thought international with me kevin owen here in the hot seat tonight coming up a lot more including a french government plan controversial one to protect children from abuse that strong big criticism will tell you all about it more.

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 operated 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. in twenty forty you know bloody revolution two to the demonstration going for be relatively peaceful political protests to be creasing revile. revolution is always spontaneous or is it . i mean your list put me in the. school in the middle of the former ukrainian president recalls the events of twenty fourteen. those who took part in this today over five billion dollars to assist ukraine in these and

other goals that will ensure a secure and prosperous and democratic. against midnight here in moscow no more the day's news plans to change french laws to give strict punishments for child sex abuse is a fall and fall of experts who say it's going to make the problem worse with the details about that from paris tonight charlotte to penske. in march france announced that it was going to legislate curb sexual violence to cut down on sexism i mean clued in that legislation was due to be in egypt consent to 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 in because there was outrage often choose cases

emerged of an eleven year old girls who were deemed 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 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 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 advocates according to our to go to child abuse could be considered a new fans not a crime because they don't 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 worked 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 in upon testimony was it not provoking. the reaction from the government. who could. refute in total buffy been seen here on the largest of the text to follow those we are proposing. will critics say if the law is passed without that 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 the 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. of. a big day for russia yesterday big mega bridge itself in a minute linking mainland russia to the crimean potential it was officially opened six months ahead a show to be said once is fully operational this saves can reduce the region's reliance on c. an air transport many more tourist to visit that area which is really popular especially in the summer with many russians or here's why it's being hailed by many as a feat of engineering. i . wrap.

wrap. wrap. presents let him in so he was at the opening ceremony of that new bridge to. well you feel really good.

and off he went the russian leader was indeed among the first to cross say they come in there in the lorry by the looks of it he drove it in time nineteen kilometers from mainland russia or into the crimea and see if you catch some of the bridges construction workers accompany the president on the norgrove trip to as the sun shone down from a big opening daniel hole couldn't reported back. to squat a feat of engineering forced lloyd to make comments along four lanes of traffic at a railway due to open next year as well to track well wait this bridge the crimea bridge is now not only the longest in russia but the longest in europe construction began a couple of years back has been built in record time for a bridge of this size six months in fact head all seems to be going to plan it now to put this into perspective just what a fear of a tearing this is often is rough conditions on the sea all the cut 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 cause 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 our equivalent of steel was used for the supporting pillars 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 goods that can now be imported for the bridge and not by the sea or by. this project has been with planning for a long time from softness times to the start of the save union era it's a. been carried out now off to hundreds of years of planning so very much

a great achievement here. you know the opening seventy continues tomorrow as well though to get some fresh pictures in as well as want to check it out check it out. before i go it's twenty two minutes past midnight moscow time quick reminder of that big breaking news story tonight state t.v. in north korea reporting that the country's canceled wednesday's high level talks with the south at the station said to have been taken in response to seoul continuing to carry out joint military drills with the united states it's always been a big bone of contention from the north we'll keep you posted on that too but for now that's the way the world looks in part so far this early morning in moscow always a say much more from. my name's kevin knowing that he with the rest of the team tonight in moscow thanks for watching and stay with us because more great programs lined up for you and your part of the world right after this break.

was. it was with the with the with it was. across europe municipalities are taking their water supply back from private companies. elsewhere they invite private companies to take over the utilities any part of. this is. put it over and over some more you know until the left still 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 than water it's about to hurt and the redistribution of all our west towards. debt downwards the one dollar was. what politicians do something. they put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president i'm sure. most some want to. have to go right to be cross with saliva for free in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters about how. this should. apply to many clubs over the years so i know the game inside guides. football isn't

only about what happens on the pitch for the final school it's about the passion from the fans it's the age of the super money killion a loan to spend spend each religion twenty million one fly a. book it's an experience like nothing else want to do because i want to share what i think of what i know about the beautiful guy great so what chance with. the base it's going to. the united states has always had a tool to use in its tax on other countries. economic sanctions or are often just the beginning another thing you like to do is place some military pressure on the countries a talking about. and

there has to be an effort to demonize that country and the leader of that country. we have a responsibility for the hague. and we need to make rules for the rest of. those without us there would be. or this is the cause or it for you heard that women are so disgusted with men lately that more and more other having sex with fish don't trust me look this up it's incredible anyway let's move on stacy. actually yeah we're going to be talking

about bill kristol i don't know if you're talking about him but he kind of looks like a fish to me but let's see first we're going to talk about we're going to talk this whole episode by the way i'm going to stay here for both halves and that is because we're going to talk about some fracking and first i want to show you know qualify for the audience full and fair disclosure we our show is broadcast on our russian network so one should assume russian trolls post election strategy disrupt florida and other u.s. energy pipelines oh i got i'm going to special power paper i write thank you for a says 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. russian. 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 bot can she write it down like up here now. ok so the three billion dollar sable trail pipeline designed to carry natural gas to

the state of florida from alabama there were some protests against december twenty sixth 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 themselves couldn't possibly ever think that well i don't want to pipeline. outside my house no forget that obviously stupid people like 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 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 he 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 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 inclusion of 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. don't want to point that out the extra now eighty is of these energy companies end up in our cancer cells thank you energy company i want to point that out so there's got to be an existential threat it's got to be coming from somewhere yes. so i want to read this final paragraph here in order to set up our headlines we're going to cover because according to member consider this this is mcclatchy they've won.
