north korea counsels a high level meeting with the south after the u.s. carries out launch scale military drills that pyongyang has also threatens to pull out of a highly anticipated summit with donald trump also this hour. those who suggest that the gaza violence has anything to do with the location of the american embassy are sorely mistaken after a second consecutive day of clashes between israelis and palestinians the u.s. sees the relocation of exam to be to jerusalem did not block the bloodshed. germany and national team players of turkish origin are slammed for oh so session

with the president of turkey as officials back in berlin begin to question that allegiances ten weeks before the feed the world cup. very warm welcome you are watching r.t. international with me the key erin good to have you with us this hour. our top story north korea has canceled wednesday's high level talks with the south adding it may not attend a summit with the u.s. now soft america and south korea carried out large scale military drills described by pyongyang state media as a rehearsal for invasion samir a car reports from washington months of intense diplomacy and hopes of a historic breakthrough with north korea could all be reduced to nothing by war games.

there are exercises that are legal there are planned well well in advance we will continue to go ahead and plan the meeting between president chopping can john and dozens of american bombers and fighter jets flying near the north korean border to pyongyang this is more than just a provocation it's a rehearsal for an invasion so now after scrapping a summit with seoul the north is hinting that it could also band in a highly anticipated meeting with trump that's scheduled for june twelfth in singapore but the timing couldn't be worse the united states and south korea routinely carry out the simulated invasions and destruction of north korea military exercises another set of these exercises began last friday i believe this goes against the spirit certainly and i would say even the letter of the penguin john declaration between moon joining in in conjunction where both sides agreed not to

do anything that would be provocative towards the other both north and south korea these military exercises again as i mentioned simulate the annihilation of north korea holding off on military drills was in fact one of the points agreed upon back in january when the north froze its nuclear tests and that was confirmed last month when kim and moon met and promised to bring peace to the korean peninsula and just a week ago a u.s. senator suggested awarding trump with a nobel peace prize for promoting peace between the two koreas and of course trump was in full agreement. and it's very nice thank you this is recklessly needlessly provocative on the part of the united states it makes you wonder if some part of the u.s. military establishment actually trying to sabotage or subvert any effort to bring about a peace treaty between north korea in the united states. why else with this exercise

go forward. two palestinian protesters were shot dead by israeli forces on tuesday during anti occupation rallies on the gaza border with israel fifty nine were killed on monday in protests against the relocation of the u.s. embassy to jerusalem the un security council which held a special meeting on the matter condemned the killing but not all members seemed willing to work on measures to end the violence. last observed in the silence of this council since the beginning of the crisis is becoming less and less understandable. the vacuum in constructive international efforts as was shown by recent events is very dangerous. to the parties concerned to stop the violence and abusive use of force and in particular to stop actions that target civilians the use of violence and force will not bring security to anyone. we need to look

forward and we need to work urgently towards a resolution at the longstanding issues between israel and the palestinian people. like this council the united kingdom is committed to a two state solution with them it's a shared catholic and to achieving peace and stability in the way the region 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 those who suggest that the gaza violence has anything to do with the location of the american embassy are sorely mistaken and however ask a lot more pain now explains that nikki haley thank you say sions may be a double edged sword. the day that the american embassy was officially moved to jerusalem it was a day of great jubilation for american and israeli officials. remember this

moment. but across the palestinian territories it couldn't have been more different in beleaguered gaza there was nothing but suffering and chaos our greatest hope is for peace the united states is prepared to support peace negotiations united states is prepared to support a peace agreement in every way that we can and i don't think it hurts the peace plan. the peace plan will be introduced at the appropriate time there was certainly not any criticism of any of israel's extreme used to force by anyone in the trumpet ministration hamas terrorist backed by iran have incited attacks against israeli security forces and infrastructure so israel is not responsible for shooting malice tinian protesters some of whom were just children shot down by their own soldiers but if you're a place israel with syria suddenly nikki haley's heart bleeds for the dead in far less clear cut situations. yesterday morning. we awoke to pictures

to children being carried in the arms of desperate parents yes all the talk about human rights does not apply to palestinian protesters they do not get america's support because they're not protesting in the right country. big protests in iran the people finally gets unwise as to how the money and wealth is being stolen and squandered on terrorism looks like they will not take it any longer the u.s. is watching very closely for human rights violations with israel all bets are off on world press freedom day heather now it was all about championing the rights of journalists that is until somebody mention gaza we see all too often that journalists continue to take great risks to pursue this important work would you also condemn the recent deaths of journalists journalists in the gaza strip look there are unfortunately a lot of journalists who die all around the world i'm not going to be able to list

every single death of a journalist and we understand that israel has a right to defend itself back in april yasser move taja palestinian photo journalist who was wearing a jacket clearly marked press was shot by israeli sniper now if this was intentional it could possibly constitute a war crime by israel but heather nauert thinks it was self-defense either way she doesn't have time to talk about every journalist who's been killed and apparently his death doesn't fit in with washington's agenda they look mop and artsy new york israeli security forces have insisted they acted in self-defense against palestinian protesters as violence intensified on the borders of disputed territories there israel also said that fifty three tons of medical equipment have been transferred to gaza this week however a representative from the medical charity group doctors without borders insists the medical system can't cope and is on the verge of collapse. there was more than one

thousand one hundred injuries orgasm and never surf was present in previous beatles and years are in support of the lease of paris and to give you an example that i guess i was pretty early. for also there was a moment free under the injured people to her system since many months since many years we were already owns a version of collapse there is only four i was already closer to. the board of a question a paid. there's a drugs of disposable so the medical stuff we're struggling since many months in order to to go to give quality of care for patients. after the recent spike in violence in gaza lollies in support of palestinians have been held in several cities across the world and london brussels and athens the crowds waved palestinian flags and called on israel to stop the oppression against protesters meanwhile the

u.s. president has congratulated the muslim world as it begins to observe the holy month of ramadan and donald trump called it a time for reflection and spiritual growth but middle east analyst machine far believes his words insincere idiots and. means nothing more than we. actions so we see. read a whole bunch of them if you like. a stance that you took against muslims and. they're not going to. block relocating the u.s. embassy in israel to jerusalem was one of trump's election campaign pledges and it's not the only controversial promise he's kept as artie's donald quarter explains. promises politicians make them and break them trump has something of

a reputation for at least making good on some of his president trump's decision tonight is yet another example of donald trump keeping promises to you the american people the president's job as. president john she'd be his running mate and america week starting today so let's give the guy credit where credit is due but here five times trump should have perhaps parked those pledges first up valley to recognize drucilla as israel's capital we will move the american embassy to the eternal of the jewish people through. while the israeli pm proclaim to the day of peace deadly protests raged elsewhere dozens dead and over two thousand injured including children. next up bailing on the iran nuclear deal trumps always been pretty clear about what

he'd do when he got the keys to the white house my number one priority is to dismantle the disastrous deal with. yeah scrapping the deal and a slew of new sanctions trump expected others to follow but what he got was a multinational shaking of heads leaders who voiced regret said they were deeply concerned and called it an unfortunate step the new deal is not a bilateral agreement and it is not in the hands of any single country to take me made it you know not europe's not happy and americans probably won't be so happy about the next thing on trump's checklist either valid to boost the military budget as soon as i take office i will ask congress to fully eliminate the defense request and will submit a new budget to rebuild our military the commander in chief has already secured a sixty one. billion dollar increase for twenty eighteen taxpayers also might like

to know how that will send the two thousand and twenty deficit to about i don't know a trillion dollars but that won't stand in the way of trump's promise to storm off from the paris climate accord we're going to receive all the job destroying obama executive actions. was including the climate action plan sure he kept his word but this time the rest of the world just shrugged its shoulders gave a collective mess and is carrying on without him finally let's not forget that white house one eighty one trump took over from barack obama and vowed to keep america's notorious terrorist suspect prison open for business i watch president obama talking about get right donna mobile which by the way which by the way we are keeping open and we're going to load it up was a bit dude's believe me we're going to load it up no surprises there what's more trump is a bit of a fan of the waterboarding interrogation technique even if the u.n.

says it's torture in fact he's so sold on it he's lined up a cia pick infamously linked to torture methods but gina haskell is so controversial that police have twice had to remove protesters from her senate hearing for the job so the don's being good on his word fair enough but perhaps the world might be a calmer place if he just occasionally let a few promises slide you know like the others do donald quarter r.t. . anger in canada continues to build over the government's lack of action to do anything about a self-confessed islamic state executioner that's after he lied to immigration services to get back into the country he revealed it openly on a new york times podcast show called caliphates the form i still find to who goes by the name of abu who left canada four years ago when he was just seventeen and

told his parents he was flying to turkey but five months after joining the terror group in syria he decided he wanted to return to toronto following what he originally said it was his second execution though now he has retracted those comments saying he hasn't killed anyone officials and hopes the man had said enough to incriminate himself on the new york times podcast series when he gave detailed accounts of executing people but according to documents obtained by canadian news network an open confession like the one whose i gave may not be enough to charge him kind of his prime minister has been fending off criticism over this particular case and when justin trudeau was asked about terrorists or attorneys he's the mainly shifted the blame to attack conservatives in the country instead. when is the prime minister lowering these bloodthirsty terrorist to walk on our streets but drolly general instead thank you mr speaker once again

we see the conservatives trying to drum up fear. only to call attack we see every reason to be responsible and serious about how we protect the integrity of canadians canadian intelligence estimates around sixty people have returned to the country after joining extremist groups in syria and iraq and though many countries have tough policies to persecute those who've waged terror overseas were aghast you have looked at how it seems canada is just allowing them to slip back into society . turns out you can't build a caliphate on the foundations of killing rape plunder and more killing they tried tried with bloody abandon but no luck so that was isis jihad ists went home to perhaps start a new life while they may have engaged in terrorism abroad and broken the law not

all return he's continued to post a threat that may now be disillusioned with the cause the canadian government even has directives on how to deal with them all right they may have decapitation a prisoner to war a dozen may have repeatedly raped young girls they considered infidels but that's all in the past what they need now is apparently help the intervention team can engage with the return e and the returned his family to open up dialogue with the individual and to help support the return of disengagement from their radical ideology and past behavior before you go thinking that canadians are crazy you know most people never knew how lenient their government was being with murderers and terrorists but what really riled the public up is an interview with a former jihad just who was left free. you know you have to you have to

bring yourself to do it legal case fine finally killing someone. you kind of have to close your eyes and do it. for a reason this is justified you can do this and i can be held accountable now imagine you live in the same city as this guy your kids walk by his house on the way to school that's how many canadians feel this guy is apparently in toronto canadians deserve to learn answers from this government absolute doing something. it's amazing people in canada get you. he is in jail for possession of marijuana but a guy who may have cut off people's heads is leadfree because he had a change of hot now that people are outraged his story changed and he says he doesn't deny saying them but he's insistent that he didn't actually do those things no charges against him have yet been filed if they ever will be but you must

understand what he is not a monster no isis fighters different to any other immigrants they will brings something new to canada those on my words that's the prime minister talking and i need to know how you're going to protect your canadians like mike young daughter and you know ten to fifteen twenty years from now when you're letting people in with an ideology that just doesn't conform to what we're doing here one of the reasons canada is successful as a country is because we have been open to people fleeing persecution fleeing war zones whether it was people fleeing the devastation of the second world war from southern europe in the fifty's and sixty's italian communities to create communities that the portuguese communities and others just belonging to or tourist organization it is is enough to convict someone as

a serious crime so unless you cannot prove it all the fellow was in isis territory here and use there to. help my sis unless you cannot prove that at all you know we . just says well i made up the story then if you can prove that he was actually there you can make a case against a person who prosecuted the person for terrorism and sent to jail if the government were serious i think that's where they would do but i don't think they're serious about pushing multi-culturalism to the limits is not certainly not a good thing. two high profile football players have had their loyalties thrown into doubt ahead of the world cup a photo session was high about that after the break.

is the middle east stumbling towards a region wide war it sure looks like it trumps decision to withdraw from the nuclear deal and set into play a cascade of events difficult to manage troll does anyone game for missing pending cataclysm.

welcome back the irish red cross have launched a campaign that calls on people to share their homes with a refugee for at least a year the charity is all skin people who have vacant property or spare room to help mainly syrian families in twenty fifteen degree to accept up to four thousand refugees seeking protection in the u e u we also people in the island what they thought about the red cross can pay. i think irish people are known worldwide for their hospitality and it's time to step up hurting is very good at a very good idea maybe a lot of people might find that a year is quite a long time i think it's something the government should be doing but there are people who support the right people can help please do you know it's good.

for me i think it would it would take a bit of you know discussion to decide whether i would do it i don't have a spare bed myself my biggest problems with the homeless here were not looking up to the. german national players preparing for the fee for world cup have found themselves facing a backlash i were photos of been posing with the turkish president and other one was on a state visit to the u.k. when he met players of turkish origin playing club football in england only three are german born and two of them chose to represent germany over turkey at an international level however the pictures have caused anger among german lawmakers and the country's football association the players have now been accused of taking sides with the turkish leader who is currently in the middle of a reelection campaign manchester city's midfielder ek going to one even wrote with

respect for my president on the should as a gift and it's left some questioning where his loyalties lie germany's football federation stands for values that mr one does not sufficiently respect therefore it's not a good thing that our internationals have let themselves be exploited for his election campaign style. why is playing for the german national team when he recognises want as his president the president of an international german football is called frank will to steinmeyer not reject type of one. well don don has responded saying that the photos were not to play sickles statement and that football and politics should remain separate the turkish president's senior adviser describes germany's reaction as a new example of iran phobia while also giving a reminder that erdogan is an elected president who represents his nation we spoke

to ellis cashmore an expert in sports and media studies he believes football can't accept political points of view i don't think they have any kind of political motivation or were trying to make a propagandist point we have the world cup having a less than a month's time there are going to be players there from all over the wall there are going to be current troops that have saudi arabia for example that does not have a dignified human rights record what will the german player. play saudi arabia what will the german pows be instructed to do they want to boycott the game the play and trying to somehow separate politics began going to have to suspend their political viewpoints their allegiances for the period of the warm up otherwise the walkout will not take. russia's longest bridge that links mainland russia

when so many find themselves worlds apart when you choose to look for common ground . at the plate for 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 shaper money just kill you know loneliness and spending to get to the twenty million one player. book it's an experience like nothing else not to because i want to share what i think of what i know about the beautiful game but great so will all chance for. the base this morning to.
