was. looking good the latest of the first century so well that she will fit in. with friends like that at least the new slams the u.s. decision to pull out of the iran nuclear deal bus. israel is an occupier and it keeps terrorizing. the tech is president there are one condemns israel's use of lethal force against palestinian protesters amid mounting anger across the muslim world. r.t. hears from doctors in gaza you say hospital wards are overflowing and medical supplies are running out. and ukraine cracks down on russian journalists raiding

a news bureau in kiev and arresting the director. this is outing international coming to you live from moscow i'm kate partridge thank you for joining us. the european union has launched an action plan to keep the iran nuclear deal alive after the u.s. pulled out of the agreement it includes counter measures to protect european firms who trade with iran from sanctions and the president of the european council some harsh words for the u.s. leader. looking at the latest decisions of for them to try someone could see them thing. that move. about frankly speaking. europe should be great for a president who has realized that if you knew the hoping. you will
7:02 pm
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 urkel speaking in the back of the stock. 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 repeat right now finds itself in a crossroads and we're delighted to 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 policy when it comes to diplomacy that
7:03 pm
really isn't winning donald trump any friends in europe but then it'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 and cajoled 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 an angle or merkel whatever they met in public and then we've got to remember when it comes to a 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 see deal
7:04 pm
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 through it is very very important and if we 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. russia has issued a diplomatic memo to ukraine raising concerns about the safety of russian journalists in the country this comes after security forces raided the kiev offices of a russian media group and detained its director carol vission ski who's in charge of ria novosti is ukraine bureau was detained on tuesday for alleged treason his relatives have not heard from him since his arrest earlier r.t. correspondent reading the question of a shared more details with you know neil. the security service of hugh crane has
7:05 pm
a raided several offices for imported fresh news agencies to read 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 of journalists working for the agency documents means of communications were confiscated during these raids and some of them lasted for several hours playing much in the. reaction to this of course the russian foreign ministry immediately condemn to this a crackdown on during the list 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 russia immediately condemn to these particular searches but also other international organizations as well criticized this particular incident in ukraine
7:06 pm
representative on the freedom of the media raised concern over this raid his concern was also supported by other international organizations and it's russian affiliate are you demanding immediate release of to rule the shins 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 a large scale excuse for a government to attack journalists for the distribution of information that is not to the oath or disliking 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 missions but 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 journalist in ukraine back. in twenty fourteen for example ukraine reigned
7:07 pm
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 intuition 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 killed and among them were russian journalists as well now ukrainian authorities on a regular basis that 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 were denied 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
7:08 pm
kiev where a blocked in order to prevent this concert from being broadcast and the ukrainian radicals even issued its wrath against this channel so these are just some latest examples that i can give you. rights watch says ukraine's actions are a violation of free speech. 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 sure serious charge that carries a hefty prison sentence so they better continue to come forward with what it is
7:09 pm
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 for a treason charge we and other organizations have have been expressing i think more frequently concerns about media freedoms in ukraine and judge him based on the fact that there were of these website downs last year and journalists who were who were either banned or were expelled because of the views that they project a couple of criminal cases that are ongoing on. you for example against what i did ski and others based on what you know based on things that people have said or written and so and also there are you know cases of killings of journalists that have that remain unsolved so i think we're probably requite we're what concerned and we were saying last year. but while some are alarmed about the treatment of russian journalists in ukraine one american magazine has something more destructive in mind an article in the washington examiner suggests kiev should blow up the
7:10 pm
newly built crimea bridge right even describes how it could be done and it will commentator john bosnich things that proposal goes far beyond the boundaries of free speech. it's par for the course the people who pose as journalists in 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 in gauged 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 outward call by a journalist so-called journalist for an attack on
7:11 pm
a civilian structure. a panel of u.s. senators has endorsed a government intelligence report accusing russia of meddling in the twenty sixteen presidential election republicans and democrats on the intelligence committee released a joint statement on wednesday the russian a food was extensive sophisticated and old by president putin himself for the purpose of helping donald trump and hurting hillary clinton well keeping up with all the u.s. probes into alleged russian meddling is becoming increasingly difficult as r.t. samir khan explains. so we've heard this story countless times but of this time the bipartisan republican led committee found that there was collusion no 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 influence campaign was apparently directed by president putin himself to elect
7:12 pm
donald trump and that all 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 rushes 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 busy recriminations charges and countercharges about the attacks now the democrats completely dismissed the committee's assessment saying 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 and guess what democrats have pledged that they'll continue to investigate this collusion so now there's three separate investigations all contradicting each other and we're not even taking into account investigations
7:13 pm
conducted by the department of justice homeland security other congressional committees and of course the infamous muller investigation so this russian collusion drama has been going on for a couple of years now so we'll definitely keep you updated that is if you can keep up the legal and media analysts lonell says despite numerous investigations into alleged trump russian critic nothing of substance has yet been found. of the 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 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
7:14 pm
that found at camps desires and the ones that said yes we found something could not tell you what it was that they found canada to take action against a man living freely in the country who's a self-confessed eisel executioner on 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 iran nuclear deal and set into play a cascade of events difficult to manage and control does anyone gain from this impending cataclysm. the. united states is not only another part not be a partner they're not a broker they have taken their seats of material good if they're thing the solution they're throwing this region to what is the listener's extremists in this region
7:15 pm
have been strengthened and bravado demolition by these american is a decisions and actions before moderates in the arab world people like me have been destroyed but it was such actions such fascism such as part of being exercised by israel and israel getting away with it i think this is opening the get off bells in this region. welcome back rallies have been held across the muslim world against israel and the united states sixty palestinians were killed on monday during riots on the israel gaza border triggered by the relocation of the u.s.
7:16 pm
embassy to jerusalem and iran protesters burned u.s. and israeli flags some held up posters of israel's prime minister with a message go to hell didn't turkey demonstrators trampled an effigy of donald trump all the time which president tayyip erdogan accused israel of terrorizing the palestinian people. 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 to say this with regards to the steps they made israel is an occupier and it keeps terrorizing . on wednesday the israeli ambassador was expelled from turkey can see him being searched it is temple and court as he left the country and earlier turkey recalled its own ambassadors from israel and the united states at least analyst akhmed al good eyes says donald trump is creating a volatile situation. this move donald trump and israel are themselves from the whole world not only the muslim world if you decide that this
7:17 pm
particular moment that jerusalem is the capital of the jewish people and it's the capital of israel then by this you just destroying the whole peace process of twenty five million there were just nonsense and you were buying you were selling 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. disregarding the no killer deal with iran and now you are 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 bravo occasion that cannot be accepted by a big country like turkey. well inside gaza hospitals are struggling to cope with an influx of wounded patients r.t.
7:18 pm
visited one hospital where doctors say medical supplies are running critically low and operating theaters a packed. and we are facing many blame like. short of the cv a shortage of medical supply all of them had to be sent to be shortage of oratory equipment more than sixty percent and we deal with a huge number. more that i want to visit the hour give us the twenty beds here and then a marriage is about what you can imagine how do you deal with it when the five more than our capacity it's voted the situation overclouded all of the hospital. is full. extension and i tend to it's also or fall we have received about to five hundred cases. two hundred of them are admitted to hospital and. i.c.u. is full and we get to extension for i.c.u. and also it's fall but i shan't romas for too many bass amp waiting for. for
7:19 pm
abrasion and. by. that that's what about this situation and we have shortages too many things stuff disposable. well israeli armed forces have defended the use of lifestyle on the gaza border the i.d.f. said soldiers followed standard operating procedure when we were in the u.s. embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem was one of donald trump's election campaign pledges and it's not the only controversial promise he's kept as an artist on 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. president john she'd be his running mate and american week starting today so let's give the guy credit where credit is
7:20 pm
due but here five times trump should have perhaps parked those pledges first up valley to recognize to roussillon as israel's capital we will move the american embassy to the eternal of the jewish people during. 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 the rich. yeah scrapping the deal and a slew of new sanctions trump expected others to follow but what he got was
7:21 pm
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 vowing 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 the job destroying obama executive actions.
7:22 pm
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. 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 dons being good on his word fair enough but perhaps the
7:23 pm
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. . a self-confessed islamic state executioner is now living freely in canada often lying to a big ration services he revealed this openly in a new york times podcast called county fate. well the for myself i say who went by the name of abu who's i further left canada four years ago when he was just seventeen he spent five months fighting for the terrorist group in syria before returning home in the podcast he gave detailed accounts of executing people but they that's may not be enough to charge him according to documents obtained by a canadian news network canada's prime minister justin trudeau has been fending off criticism over the case in on me and then is the prime minister going to start going these bloodthirsty terrorist to walk on our streets but today women generally
7:24 pm
stack. the speaker once again we see the conservatives trying to drum up fear so we all recall attacks when the prime minister finally imprison isis terrorists which then are going to use canada right thanks to all this approach in the last election by the previous government it doesn't work to try and scare and if i could . well canadian intelligence estimates around sixty people have returned after joining extremist groups in syria and iraq but the government seems to be surprisingly unconcerned as ati's what it gets here 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
7:25 pm
all return ease 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 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 no most people never knew how lenient their government was being with murder as 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
7:26 pm
bring yourself to do it look a fine family killing someone. you can have to close your eyes and do. you kill him 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 kins disturbed this government absolute 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 the change of hot now that people are outraged his stories changed he says he doesn't deny saying them but he's insistent that he didn't actually do those things no charges
7:27 pm
against him have yet been filed if they ever will be but you must understand what he is not a monster no i says fight is different to any other immigrants they will brings something new to canada those on my words that's the prime minister talking and the 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 it is enough to convict someone it's
7:28 pm
a serious crime so unless you cannot prove it all the fellow was in isis territory here and you loose there to me. help isis unless you cannot prove that at all you know with 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. i'll be about her the latest news in just over half an hour meanwhile for more on all of our stories that's watching. her. i would
7:29 pm
name a guest manufacture consent instant of public wealth. when the ruling classes project themselves. with the primary go around lifts only the one percent told. us to ignore middle of the room sick. to lose the real news is really the world. about your sudden passing i've only just learned you worry yourself and taken your last wrong turn. you're out caught up to us we all knew it would i tell you i'm sorry but only 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 war like it
7:30 pm
was a cave still some more fun to feel those that didn't like to question our arc and i secretly promised to never be like it said one does not leave a funeral the same as one enters the mind gets consumed with death this one different person to speak to now because there are no other takers. to claim that mainstream media has met its maker. and what politicians do shut up to. put themselves on a lot. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president or injury. or some want to be. it's a right to be for us as a white woman for us freedom or can't be good that i'm interested always in the waters of our show.
