a bureau was raided in kiev and is directed to take. over good morning line from r.t. studio h.q. or moscow just after one am my name's kevin irwin here with this latest half hour news update for you. the transatlantic friendships getting decidedly frosty it seems with the european council president saying donald trump is not exactly europe's best friend right now he added that brussels is under no illusion since trump pulled out of that a big iran's nuclear deal the long ford agreement guaranteed that iran would limit its nuclear activities in exchange for tough sanctions being lifted. looking at the latest decisions of president. someone could see them thing. that move. about focus speaking to europe should be
6:02 pm
great for a person. 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 back of the stock on wednesday she was well it was part of her budgetary address where she sets out what 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 rip right now sell for the crossroads 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
6:03 pm
nuclear deal it's this whole well of non consultation with allies 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 in could jolt and poked into getting on board with nato by to resume a we also saw what could at best only be called awkward relations between donald trump and angular merkel whatever they 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
6:04 pm
looking in another direction. we look forward to working with russia and china to see deal that is important part right now we are hoping for both moscow and beijing to act as responsible international players but it's watching that relationship suggesting that america first could well end up with america alone we live in a globalized world and three 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 term he's a question mark. at the top stories this morning with the mass demonstrations in several muslim countries against israel and the united states it's after more than sixty palestinians were killed and at least three thousand injured in clashes with the israeli military over the past couple of days tensions flared when washington moved its embassy to jerusalem on monday in iran protesters torched u.s. and israeli flags stomping the ashes into the ground somehow posters of the israeli
6:05 pm
prime minister with the words go to hell written on 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 labeled 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 on wednesday the israeli ambassador was expelled from turkey you can see him being searched to istanbul airport as he left the country to turkey recalled its own ambassadors from israel and the united states mideast analyst are committed. told us that donald trump is creating a real volatile situation here. this move donald trump and israel are themselves from the whole world not only the muslim world if you decide that this particular moment that jerusalem is the capital of the jewish people and it's the capital of
6:06 pm
israel then. by this you just destroying the whole peace process of twenty five negotiations they were just nonsense and you were buying you were selling and promoting pipe dreams to the palestinians in the region and there's no way that you're going to have a two state solution on the table and that's what. at the time you're dissing guarding the no killer deal with iran and now you're completely provoking the sentiments of the whole muslim world where turkey is trying to show a kind of understanding to what's going on in the region you're completely trying to push them out of this and this is provocation that can't be accepted by a big country like turkey. politics aside on the ground inside gaza hospitals are struggling to cope with an influx of wounded patients r.t. visited one major hospital where doctors say they are critically short of medical supplies and operating theaters are packed. and we are facing many bridges.
6:07 pm
short of the c.v. a shortage of medical some of them thirty percent shortage will. mean more than sixty percent and we deal with a huge number. more than i want to visit the our deepest it won t. be here in a marriage is about what you can imagine how do you deal with it wendy five more than our capacity it's voted the situation overclouded all over the hospital. is for. extension and. also. we have to see 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 but a syndrome is for too many be something for. remarks. by. its what about the situation and we have shortages too many things stuff
6:08 pm
disposable the israeli security forces are giving their reaction to how it handled the incident insisting that they acted in self-defense against palestinian protesters they say as the violence intensified on the borders of the disputed territories there so relocating that u.s. embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem was always going to be controversial it was always want to donald trump's election campaign pledges is not the only controversial promises kept is that he's done a 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. has seen john shaving 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
6:09 pm
valley to recognize jerusalem as israel's capital we will move the american embassy to the eternal of the jewish people through. while the israeli pm proclaimed a 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
6:10 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.
6:11 pm
including the climate action plan sure he kept his word but this time the 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. dhanam obey which by the way which by the way we are keeping open and we're going to load it up with 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
6:12 pm
a few promises slide you know like the others do donald quarter r.t. . u.s. senate is a government intelligence report accusing russia of meddling in the twenty six thousand american election republicans and democrats on the intelligence committee released a joint statement wednesday. the russian effort was extensive sophisticated and ordered by president putin himself for the purpose of helping donald trump and coaching hillary clinton let's go live to washington here comes the basement of morning a to tell us a bit more about this announcement what is based on than. what we've heard the story countless times but of this time however the a bi partisan republican led committee found that there was collusion now how is this different from every other story well republicans on the committee actually agreed with fellow democrats that not only did russia interfere in the election but the end of influence campaign was apparently directed by vladimir putin himself to
6:13 pm
elect donald trump and that supposedly qualifies as russian collusion however just three weeks ago the house intel committee also a bipartisan republican led committee found that there was no collusion rush's active measures campaign achieved its primary goal of inciting division and discord among americans for more than a year us politics have been consumed by bitter recriminations charges and countercharges about the attacks. democrats completely dismissed the committee's assessment same that it was incredible that republicans couldn't see collusion. throughout the investigation committee republicans chose not to seriously investigate or even see when in plain sight evidence of collusion between the trim campaign and russia. well democrats have also pledged that they'll continue to investigate alleged russian collusion so now
6:14 pm
there are three separate investigations all contradictory contradicting each other and we're not even taking into account investigations conducted by the department of justice homeland security other congressional committees and of course the infamous smaller investigation so here's where we're at this russian collusion this russian collision drama has been going on for a couple years now and i guess what it's not over yet so we'll continue updating you with the latest but only if you can keep up yeah it goes on and on doesn't exactly that's exactly what. the legal or media around this is spoke to earlier on this is take on this law. of the new multiple homeland security the house and senate judiciary. i'm sure there's some other agency there all of those who found collusion or something
6:15 pm
whoever found there to be something could not explain what it was so you have to give you an idea of the ludicrous nature of this a number of organizations or tribunals that found no evidence of wrongdoing some that found at camps desires and the ones that said yes we found something could not tell you what it was that they found coming up a story north of the border kind of to take action against a self-confessed. live in freely there. and reaction to it ninety seconds away.
6:16 pm
the dollar as the. people. and if you try to get out of the dollar syria. libya. actually said they're getting out of the dollar to go to europe. because dollars.
6:17 pm
russia stressing this concern over the safety of journalists in ukraine and diplomatic out of the country comes in response to security forces raiding the kiev offices of a group of russian media giant detailing his director in the process his name carol he's in charge of written overseas ukraine he was detained on tuesday for alleged treason his relatives say they have not heard from him since his arrest you know the details and reaction from correspondent. the security service of hugh crane has a raided several offices for import no fresh news agency. 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
6:18 pm
the agency documents means of communications were confiscated during these raids and some of them lasted for several hours playing much in the house the reaction to this of course the russian foreign ministry immediately condemn to this a 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 needed to the 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 affiliate are you demanding immediate release of to rule the shinseki i reiterate my call on the authorities to refrain from imposing unnecessary limitations on the work of
6:19 pm
foreign journalists which affects the free flow of information and freedom of the media it looks like 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 kiev office of the russian state news agency ria novosti and detention of the office direct security admission ski just in terms of history to this meeting this is the first time listening to russian journalists in ukraine or house there being something of this occurring before in general it is quite dangerous to be a true unless in ukraine back in. twenty fourteen for example ukraine ring 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 this issue has changed since then but still it is quite a volatile place for journalists to work now in the past three years several
6:20 pm
journalists who criticized quite openly the new government in the country were 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 blocked in order to prevent this concert from being broadcast and the ukrainian radicals even issued a threat as against this channel so these are just some latest examples that i can give you we did a cochon of the reporting the human rights watch has condemned and is calling on
6:21 pm
the ukrainian authorities to provide evidence to back up the charges against the journalist i talked earlier to the organizations deputy director for 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 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 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 treason charge we and other organizations have have been expressing i think more frequently concerns about media freedoms in
6:22 pm
ukraine and judge him based on the fact that their work to get the website down of last year and journalists who were who were either banned or were expelled because of the views that they project a couple criminal cases that are ongoing on that for example. and others based on what 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. probably quite what concerned we were saying last year. bank is growing over government inaction in canada over a self-confessed islamic state execution owed seems living freely in the country after lying to immigration services he revealed it opening on a new york times podcast called color for the former i saw fighter who went by the name of left colors it is his story four years ago when he was just seventeen he told his parents at the time was flying over to turkey for
6:23 pm
a semester abroad but five months after joining the terror group in syria then decided he wanted to return again following what he originally said was his second execute. but now that story's changed the site has now retracted those comments claiming in fact he hasn't killed anyone either which way officials think hope that his cipher is said enough to incriminate himself as he given detailed accounts of executing people but it seems that's not enough to charge of the cording to documents obtained by canadian news network calendars prime minister has been fending of criticism over the case as well and when just intruder was asked about terrorist return these you simply shifted the blame to attack conservatives in the country instead it is the prime minister going these bloodthirsty terrorist who walk on our streets but throw them in jail instead. because the speaker once again we see the conservatives trying to drum up fear. we call it back when the prime minister finally imprison isis terrorists instead of going to use canada right now
6:24 pm
to participate in the last election by the previous government it doesn't work and if i could use canadian intelligence estimates around sixty people have returned after joining extremist groups in syria and iraq and while many countries have tough policies to prosecute those who've waged terror overseas seems candidate might just be alone with the slip back into society is more gas deal of reports. 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
6:25 pm
has directives on how to deal with them all right they may have dick capitated 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 the and the returned his family to open up dialogue with the individual and to help support the return of these 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 know to bring yourself to do illegal carry find funny killing someone. you kind of have to
6:26 pm
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 answers from this government absolutely doing something. it's amazing people in canada get in. 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 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 will be but you must understand what he is not a monster no isis fighters no different to any other immigrants they will brings
6:27 pm
something new to canada those on my words that the prime minister talking and the i need to know how you're going to protect your canadians like my 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 are tourists organization it is it is enough to convict someone it's a serious crime so unless you cannot prove it all the fellow was in isis territory
6:28 pm
here and there are to. help isis unless you cannot prove that at all you know we are the fellow who 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 do you would do but i don't think they're serious about pushing multi-culturalism to the limits is not certainly not a good thing. coming up to one twenty nine that's the way the news is looking for a moscow so far this for any thursday morning always more. for the rest of the night make of another good morning. when the make this manufactured consensus still public will. when they're
6:29 pm
moving closer to some project themselves. with the final merry go round the one person. in the middle of the room six. million real news. local blogs telling you on the idea that dropping bombs brings the most to the chicken hawks forcing you to fight the battle is going. to stop spreading tell you that every gossip and public by a child support they. often have doesn't tell you on the cool enough to buy their product. all the hawks that we along with all the one.

still. it was in the one nine hundred fifty s. that our secretary of state john foster dulles proclaimed our policy is global. we started as a continental empire by clearing out the native peoples and other foreign forces then we became an overseas empire by taking islands in various parts
