life marty studio here in moscow this wednesday night welcome to this latest half hour updates just in ten in the evening there in moscow and kevin now and so the transatlantic friendships getting decidedly frosty their peers right now anyway with the european council president saying donald trump is not exactly europe's best friend at the moment he added that brussels is under no illusions since trump pulled out of the iran nuclear deal the long fought agreement guaranteed that iran would limit its nuclear activities in exchange for tough sanctions being lifted. looking at the latest decisions of for them to try someone could see them think. about frankly speaking. europe should be grateful for
3:02 pm
a pertinent. that if you knew the hoping. you will find one of your. it's not just being donald tusk that's been well handing out the zingers towards donald trump we had angle of merkel speaking in the book of the star on wed and stay she was one of this part of her budgetary address where she sets out where she sees her government right now and where it stands and she took part of that speech to directly look at the transatlantic relationship and she said that you've written right now plant itself across roads and we didn't listen to them on the multilateralism is under great pressure at the moment and because it's under great pressure europe must take its fate in its own hands more than before therefore we need european answers almost certainly the biggest strain on that relationship at the moment is donald trump's decision to pull the united states out of the iran nuclear deal it's this whole well of non consultation with allies
3:03 pm
policy when it comes to diplomacy that really isn't winning donald trump any friends in europe but then there's also the well extreme possibility of the likely possibility he doesn't care about winning friends in europe if we look back to his campaign he was incredibly dismissive of europe on his way to power he had to be dragged into jolt and poked into getting on board with nato by to reason may we also saw what could at best only be called awkward relations between donald trump and angular merkel whatever they've met in public and then we've got to remember when it comes to our money will he come well he publicly supported marine le pen against him in the election there so all of this is led some people watching this relationship to suggest that should it continue this way then europe may well start looking in another direction. we look forward to working with russia and china to
3:04 pm
see deal that is important part right now we're hoping for both moscow and beijing to act as a responsible international player. watching that relationship suggesting that america first could well end up with america alone if america first end up being america along with a live in a globalized world through it is very very important and if he actually end up by still living america. it's not a good idea can he be elected for a second he's a question mark x. tonight tracking the latest in the middle east have been more mass demonstrations in several muslim countries against israel in the united states itself to more than sixty palestinians were killed and least three thousand injured in those clashes with the israeli military over the past two days tensions flared when washington moved its embassy to jerusalem on monday in iran protesters torched u.s. and israeli flags stamping those ashes into the ground held posters of the israeli
3:05 pm
prime minister with the worlds go to hell written on them in turkey demonstrators destroyed an effigy of donald trump the prime minister there called for the arab world to cut ties with israel while the president of the country an occupier. israel took the steps in the region motivated by i am strong therefore i am right it's not possible for us to accept israel's right just as with regards to the steps they made israel is an occupier and it keeps terrorizing pictures to brief you with seen here is the israeli ambassador to turkey as he left the country news crews watched as the underwent strict security screening on his departure turkey recalled earlier passages from israel and the united states meantime on the ground in gaza are itself hospitals are struggling to cope with an influx of wounded patients they're saying r.t. visited one major hospital where doctors say they're critically short of medical supplies and operating theaters they say are packed. we are facing many bridges.
3:06 pm
short of the c.v. a shortage of medical supply. shortage will. mean more than sixty percent and we did with a huge number. more than i want to visit our deepest it won t. be here in many marriages about why do thirty million how do you deal with it wendy five more than our capacity it's voted situation overclouded all over the hospital . is. extension and. we have received about five hundred cases. two hundred of them are admitted to hospital and. i.c.u. is full and we will get to extension for i.c.u. are also its fall. as for too many based on treating forty. four of. them are. by. smart about the situation and we have shortages
3:07 pm
too many things stuff disposable and the other side of this israeli security forces are giving very action to how would handle be incident insisting that they have it in self-defense against palestinian protesters as the violence intensified on the borders of disputed territories there well relocating the us embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem was always promised by donald trump as one of his election campaign pledges he was always going to do it it's not the only controversial promise he's kept the the results he's done a quarter explain. 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. has enjoyed shaping his native american 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
3:08 pm
valley into recognized as israel's capital we will move the american embassy to the eternal of the jewish people through. while the israeli pm proclaimed the day of peace deadly protests raged elsewhere dozens dead and over two thousand injured including children. next stop bailing on the iran nuclear deal trump's 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
3:09 pm
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 sequester 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 research all that job destroying obama executive actions. was included in that climate action plan share he kept his word but this time the
3:10 pm
rest of the world just struggled 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. 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
3:11 pm
a few promises slide you know like the others do donald quarter r.t. . russia is stressing its concern over the safety of journalists in ukraine and a diplomatic memo to the country comes in response to security forces raiding the kiev offices the group the two russian media giant detailing is directing the process skewes in charge of written overseas ukraine bureau was detained on choose day for alleged treason is relatives have heard nothing from him since his arrest you know the neil got small details earlier from a correspondent who did a coaching of. the security services crane has a raided several offices for import no fresh news agency to raid started tuesday morning and lasted for eight hours not only the had office of this agency was raided but also other locations including the apartments so journalists working for the agency documents means of communications were confiscated during these raids
3:12 pm
and some of them lasted for several hours in much of the house the reaction to this of course the russian foreign ministry immediately can damage to this crackdown on during the list but we are outraged by the huge violation of russian journalist rights and once again calling ukraine to stop illegal abuses against journalists under the farfetched pretext of an anti propaganda fight not only rushing we did condemn to these particular searches but also other international organizations as well criticized this particular incident in ukraine representative on freedom of the media raised concern over this raid his concern was also supported by other international organizations and its russian affiliates are you demanding immediate release of. i reiterate my call on the authorities to refrain from imposing unnecessary limitations on the work of foreign journalists which affects the free flow of information and freedom of the media it looks like
3:13 pm
a large scale excuse for a government to attack journalists for the distribution of information that is not to the authorities like the committee to protect journalists today expressed concern over the ukraine security services search of the key of office of the russian state news agency ria novosti and detention of the office direct security missions but just in terms of history to this meeting this is the first time listening to russian journalists in ukraine or house or being something of this occurring before in general it is quite dangerous to be a journalist in ukraine back. in twenty fourteen for example ukraine reigned a third among the world's deadliest locations for a media professions and the same year the country actually reigned as the world leader and journalists kidnappings now of course the situation has changed since then but still it is quite a volatile place for journalists to work now in the past three years several journalists who criticized quite openly the new government in the country were
3:14 pm
killed and among them were russian journalists as well now ukrainian authorities on a regular basis six ballo russian journalists from the country now last week two journalists were expelled earlier in me three journalists from italy from russia and czech republic war deny and treat to the country just a week ago there was another well we can call it a scandal that broke in the country and that scandal involves ukrainian channel t.v. channel and it revolved around a scheduled concert program dedicated to the victory day now the channel offices in kiev for a block in order to prevent this concert from being broadcast and the ukrainian radicals even issued a strad against this channel so these are just some latest examples that i can give you. has condemned those calling on the ukrainian authorities to provide evidence to back up his charges against the journalist for postpone his deputy director for
3:15 pm
europe and central asia. under no circumstances should the government be criminalizing speech and media activities that groundlessly and ukraine i think this is out of line with ukraine's these raids and the detentions are out of line with ukraine's obligations to protect media freedoms there's a there's an obligation to provide some kind of transparency about what exactly is grounding treason charges that's an extremely serious serious charge that carries a hefty prison sentence so they better continue to come forward with what it is that's causing the grounds for this charge because working for you know working for ria novosti or having a russian passport are not grounds for or for a treason charge we and other organizations have have been expressing i think more frequently concerned about media freedoms in ukraine and judge him based on the fact that their world view the website down of last year and journalists who were
3:16 pm
who were either banned or were expelled because of their views that they project a couple criminal cases that are ongoing on that you for example against what i did and others based on what they you know based on things that people have said or written so. there are you know cases of killings of journalists that have that remain unresolved and far so i think we're probably quite we're what concerned and we were saying last year. sort of well many journalists are supporting russian media workers under pressure in ukraine one american magazine or something more destructive in my literally an article in the washington examiner suggests here should resort to blowing up that brand new newly opened crimea bridge right describes how it should be done little commentator john boston which believes shows that the us press is in a pretty poor state. it's par for the course the people who pose as journalists in
3:17 pm
washington are nothing more then weaponized lobbyists and so when a lobbying firm attempts to get its bills or its or its funding through for new weapons systems or war systems they often call on one of their engaged journalists to do the dirty work of saying something publicly that they couldn't dare say and then using the right of freedom of speech in america the journalist can call for anything it wants murder execution bombing attacks on civilian bridges and so on so that's what this is and if we're talking about a new level yes we've hit a new low a new low word call by a journalist so-called journalist for an attack on a civilian structure. all right before i go less likely to talk football the great beautiful game just over four weeks is going to be so much football in sports greatest event kicks off right here in russia thirty two nations will buckley the football world champions and. michael's been taking in more the preparations for

3:30 pm
state department's terrorism list he now is in the passenger seat with a very unsteady driver and netanyahu has one hand on the wheel netanyahu has been able to manipulate trump very easily i think like taking candy from a baby with that ridiculous stage performance where he claimed iran was restarting their nuclear weapons program they all know except maybe trump that that's all rubbish that the i.a.e.a. has certified that they were they were complying with the deal this is why there's been so much hysteria in europe and they tried my crone came to washington merkel they all failed he pulled out why the pull out one can only imagine is because they are planning a regime change in iran and i think we're seeing all the signs of that you know one hour after trump made that speech in which he said he was getting out of the deal the israelis massively bombed uranium targets inside syria according to time magazine one hour later that's the message that was sent so while the attacks me against iran may.
