very close to our past there in the west bank were minority of jewish settlers is in fact a wee bit but these were the government were calling the lives of two enough we knew by listing it is what it needs nine hundred sixty seven borders is little about its state with one in a million arabs living here it's lot of property curation but but if we include the west bank even carried over isn't it we get the two left million palestinians with palestinians if they become israeli headed in will not make them israeli citizens then israel will be in a lot i think this is what. worries me and many of us here how is israeli media been covering it the rest of the world as you say have. as been watching these images with shock and horror what about in israel do they know how bad what

happened on monday was the everything is covered all the pictures here all the figures here israelis saw everything everything flowed only this was the main headline is in a day that the embassy was no tourism if you ask me about quality trees most of the countries think this is what israel has to do in order to defend its over the of commerce is the organisation so is not only media i think most of the israeli public is a big king or government is doing a massive thank you thing you after the break. as the us israel and saudi arabia contemplate war with iran the countries democratically elected former leader mahmoud mosaddegh overthrown by m i six and the cia like you've never seen them before plus jeremy corbyn tries to get on to his own directive but ends up getting attacked by u.k. prime minister theresa made. for allegedly labor but the hatred of jews all the

civil coming up about to have going up to go. across europe municipalities are taking their water supply back from private companies the p.m.a. to me to be about the social simple song alone even some company elsewhere they invite private companies to take over the utilities anybody tell us that all posts allowed for mr guess you got to pay to buy them the going to go buy been pieces of us to quote them out. of or you member of 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 the water it's about to hurt and the redistribution of our west works and dare debt downwards the one dollar.

i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the u.s. has over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crimes happen each day. eighty five percent of global wealth he longs to be culled from rich eight point six percent market saw thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred to five hundred three per cent at the first second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china's building two point one billion dollars a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only number you need to remember is one one business show you can't afford to miss the one and only boom but. welcome back prime minister's questions in london this week was. held in the shadow

of thousands of men women and children injured or killed by british armed israeli forces not one question was asked about the carnage in gaza jeremy corbin instead asked about britain's possible imminent economic isolation from the e.u. whilst your government did does the dutch government has now begun training the first batch of extra customs officials to deal with the reintroduction of customs checks with british goods a dutch borders in october the prime minister the fischel spokesperson said h m r c . o two the right only general completes his question more quickly if members don't show up for. the shouting couldn't have come from corbin's m.p.'s who are members of labor friends of israel who had to take down a pro i.d.f. tweet corbin never even asked about the atrocities on monday here's how may replied they said they were to tackle anti-semitism promise broken. it is only the

conservative party that can be trusted by the british people to deliver a correct that is in the interests of british people to deliver opportunity for all of the britain that is fit for the future to resume their like his own blair identities using alleged anti semitism to collab with jeremy corbyn that after the leader of western europe's largest labor movement asked why multinational corporations were threatening to leave the u.k. over breakfast on seventy last week. boss confirmed their space contract will move abroad post bricks and the company has gone on to say its considering its overall position in the u.k. because of the government's complete lack of clarity to raise him a reply by referencing a forthcoming white paper of information she says will explain everything he would even if i don't write pages i don't own a white paper education. interesting though that corbin should have name checked

abbott's leaving the u.k. because the bus was in the news that day because the w t o ruled it was illegally subsidized by the e.u. and their bus was also in the news because of its contract with the islamic republic of iran lives are lost so iran alleges because of sanctions that prevent iran buying new planes and parts donald trump though as ripped up the iran nuclear deal violating its terms russia's sukhoi company is reportedly already seeking to profit from the destruction of boeing's twenty billion dollars deal airbus says it will decide next week what to do in the face of economic warfare threats from washington for decades now iran has been threatened by nato nations in every conceivable aspect of human endeavor it even includes we went to the gallery in the constituency represented by one of jerry corbin's newest m.p.'s kensington and chelsea to speak to iranian artists on benon back to his solo exhibition oneness wholeness curated by nina more addle is at the saatchi gallery until the twenty

seventh of may. so you're surrounded by all the late just all work here it's always about changing perceptions as an artist what about changing perceptions is an rain you know just well this is something that has been very important to me over the past decades and one of the importance of my work has been to focus on changing this sea man said this perception that people towards us as iranians we want in artists iran as a country because even media representation is at the end of the iran nuclear deal centered on the famous mural of death to america the statue of liberty but if

anyone visited tehran they'd see that sort of american poet say in the main tehran wouldn't go to you you can see pretty much anything in iran iran is just. let's talk about the capital city in tehran for instance if you go and visit all the galleries everywhere you will see works by pretty much any blue chip artists from you know asian americans to to any different european nation and everything that has been unfortunately shown and much media for the past. few decades in my opinion is a bit exaggerated in many ways and due to many reasons however. iranians and this. iranian artists our people are aware our population our country we are not dogs and it's very important for everyone to understand that it's. our true identity lies in so

many other things now i know one of your paintings is of mohamed morsy dick the democratically elected leader of iran overthrown by britain and the united states why why did you paint him and what's the significance of that while when i started painting a lot of portraiture one thing that was very important to me was to be able to connect on the human level to these people that i wanted to. put out there again for the world to see obviously all these profiles that were painted are important people to me and i think that's the world sure it. gets in there with them and much serious and that much better way because people in britain don't even know who is they should know who he was and because because he he again on

a human level he tried to. do something very positive for our country and our population however i would say probably the timing wasn't right for the obviously that's not the way the british government the cia or m i six saw it when they deposed i believe. you're right on the. probably something to do with the oil probably at the end of that war is always been a context since the revolution of when the united states and britain supported iraq against iran of course we are former a state above and u.s. army colonel lawrence wilkerson says war is now inevitable between the neighbor war has there have been saying that war has been in the visible for a very long time but then again. there's a lot of things that's are being sides and i don't think that you know we should take these quotes extremely seriously i believe. in

a dialogue i believe in other ways to be able to sort out issues between nations and i don't think going to war would be one of them and to leave it the reason to fight serious reason to find series is a very special and personal serious to me and i remember when i completed the body of work since two thousand and fourteen. a lot of people pod confused ideas about what i'm trying to do and what i was trying to simply show to the world and to our people there's lots if it wasn't due to these people to these kids who went to war and everyone else today we would not be able to hold our identity properly iranians because it would have been overtaken by by saddam hussein's iraq at that time i don't want to get into details with with who was

behind the country as well however the fact that our people protected our nation deserves. a lot of value and people have to learn that and understand that an eight year old wall is not a joke i mean i was in teheran when this war was happening and we had bomb shells falling in our guard then and and we trim and it was a lot of suffering from every direction however the power in the strength of the iranian people kept us from being invaded by different nation and today i'm very proud soha of very comprehensive body of dedicated to this event and to the people who fought for us to be able to be here today too many people in the nation's only if they have heard of it may think this was a squabble between two warring middle east nations but those major nations were

involved in supporting iraq against iran yes but i do know there's a for me and for the bodies of for the body of work a reason to fight the focus was simply on the iranian people who went against this whole system and to give their lives i mean when you have thirteen fourteen year olds going and killing themselves for for the sake of us keeping our land it doesn't matter what's what's what's at the time was this political situation our country this was this was out of the context everyone wanted to defend their country it didn't matter that we had a revolution in that amount or that we things were difficult at the time they talked to us we tried to defend ourselves and signed freely we're able to and today i can be proud of holding an iranian passport in my hand and not in iraq you want but it was iraq is just had elections relations just a closer than ever but of their own interests of course we're talking of usually

about a few decades ago that was a different story that time today i'm very. happy to see the evolution that is happening within the country and obviously we do have very good ties with them well the european union china russia seem to be supporting iran on the on the nuclear deal why do you think in the united states that it just doesn't seem that way that one russian actions the now what has to happen again to go along fortunately we iran in america did not have good relationships for quite some time now which is a pity in my opinion because a lot of that is based on things that's. the huge the iranian people should nonce should not be involved and unfortunately whenever you know the politics gets into play the people suffer you know office and foremost and what will the effect of sanctions be i mean i want to get to the same since we in terms of artistic

cultural into change but on the people of iran well. obviously the people will suffer first and foremost as a lot of friends back home and i always talk to them during my visits as well i see i see the difference they buy they obviously the go through a lot of pressure and stress and spin up on going for a long time it's got a bit better and i was going to be back on so the people we saw for the iranian artists will suffer. they running calories will suffer and i do not think that. this would be a. way to go about things and one notes i would say that i am not worried about the performance nor the outcome of all of our iran artists from your merging ones to establish ones. we are a very strong community as iranian artists and i believe that we were only get stronger with time and this is only the beginning and if you are in britain you can

in twenty forty you know bloody revolution. the demonstrations going from being relatively peaceful political protests to be increasingly violent revolution is always spontaneous. is it you know here i mean you know alice put me in the new bill is that on the split needle the former ukrainian president recalls the events of twenty fourteen. those who took part in this to do over five billion dollars to assist ukraine in these an article that will ensure a secure and prosperous and democratic. we have to judge countries are certainly there said the rector gives case per case so we need more objective but the reality is that you know media tries to give the

facts but also leave. their worldview so this is where social media and direct communication comes in unfortunately it's sometimes called fake news is sometimes yes but it's sometimes actually a different worldview that they just fake news by powerful people.

the u.s. is hit by two high school shootings in a single day one person killed in georgia and ten by a student in texas. here. thanks to the here's what i told my mom. was released from hospital in the u.k. ten weeks after he was poisoned by a nerve agent but his whereabouts haven't been revealed. this is a good start analyzing a flight recorder from a passenger plane that crashed shortly after takeoff in cuba killing more than one hundred people. in the party spoiled middle east next coalition governments

unveil a program with some radical europe skeptics. for joining us my name's neil harvey this is r.t. international. friday sore two deadly school shootings in the united states one in the morning in texas another late at night in georgia in the second of those incidents one person was killed and two others were wounded as an argument broke out in a school parking lot happened after a graduation ceremony earlier a massacre at santa fe high school in texas left ten people dead and ten more wounded. we started immediately barricaded the door as soon as we got in the classroom i mean a couple fellow classmates were trying to calm the girls down because they were just crying bawling you know i mean it was real it was actually happening to our

school. we were down there probably going down a. good shot. and seeing is no one out everybody just started running outside and everybody in that. little dears. if you could see. maybe. this is what is this is. the information contained in journals of the computer is so good that he said that not only did he want to commit the shooting but he wanted to commit suicide after the shooting.

the son face shooter has been identified a seventeen year old student demetrius says he stormed the school with a shotgun and revolver reportedly sped the people he liked and killed those he didn't school shootings have claimed dozens of lives this year in the u.s. the twenty eighteen proving deadly of a student's amazingly than for members of the armed forces statistics show thirty one have died in sixteen school shooting incidents while there been twenty nine military casualties both combat and non-combat since january and of course that doesn't mean that schools are more dangerous than combat zones because the number of people in the armed forces is nearly fifty times less than the number of students a large part of the shooting victims come from the parkland massacre alone took place three months ago.

we discuss the issue with international criminal law attorney jennifer breeden who says that it's easy to over simplify the problem of gun control you know we have one side going for more mental health issues screening wanting to protect that and the other side we have just gun control in trying to demonize things like the n.r.a. and i think there are aspects to both you know there are these gray areas which in america we're sort of losing when it comes to these political talking points so i think there are some gun control issues that i do agree with for example you know a lot when american citizens to hold firearms and to carry firearms was a self-defense method meant to protect against against an attack in

a state government a government to become oppressive against the people and that was to protect our families and self-defense they never considered assault weapons as part of that self-defense or some of these mass military grade assault weapons and so we're also looking at families absolute failure to protect their children their young ones who are who might have issues the parents would know best from getting a weapon that could kill people when the parents have the responsibility there we're just looking at a lack of responsibility on many aspects in us society here. for more recent spy saga scruples whereabouts of being kept secret following his release from hospital in the u.k. you just go to you you were visited ten weeks ago after exposure to a nerve agent in the city of souls brick he's my guest he has been following the story. it isn't just the british we all love a story that ends well screwball case that was an ugly business a disgusting inhumane assassination attempt that thankfully failed it is
