particularly the nuclear energy issue from what i understand it's quite a contentious subject in your country we are interested in everything that they saw russian and we hope that we can interest russia with everything that's filipino from our warm hospitality to our beautiful islands countryside mountains from your sophisticated military hardware to your transport that vehicle is exciting motorcycles you know i ask you specifically about. it don't you think this from what i knew if you actually built one nuclear power for but it never went into operation because building wind of that was infested with corruption we pay of course u.s. . company under the guidance of international financial institutions the us which corruption has been exposed in the last few decades so the contention it's not the

use of nuclear power itself or aid or help or fresh air or russian technology the issue of more of the location of where the nuclear power plant is the controversy is more if we should build there because there are strong feelings given the history but in so far scope aeration in this matter we've signed agreements we're very our scientists are very excited that our department of science and technology our department of energy is excited that the way we work with your. agencies in atomic and nuclear fields well secretary we have to take a very short break now but he will be back in just a few moments. she

sens. in twenty forty you know bloody revolution if you put the demonstration going for be relatively peaceful political protests to be creasing the violent revolution is always spontaneous or is it just no war here i mean your list book video of the leader in the new bill is that i do split needle the former ukrainian president recalls the events of twenty fourteen. those who took the lead invested over five billion dollars to assist ukraine in these and other goals that will ensure a secure and prosperous and democratic. welcome

back to will the part of it alan peter in korea town a secretary of foreign affairs of the secretary we mentioned the situation in. before and i think it would be fair to say that both the attack on that c.t. and the long destructive siege that followed deep fears among asian countries as well as across the world that isis may seek to expand in other locations after suffering defeats in syria and iraq just the other day we heard the devastating attack in indonesia perpetrated by a whole family including four children who returned from syria do you in the philippines understand how to deal with you know how good you are first of all our hearts go out and we express our condolences to all the victims of terrorism

worldwide even here in russia you are no stranger to. extremism and acts of terrorism. it was a painful experience you know fighting. your own countrymen and fighting extremists you know it was the first time that there was fighting in the city in an urban setting it's usually outside and sunni they say that you know if their religious undertones or society are historical differences but here it was just filipino against filipino in the name of a pervert that i joe logy and i will read to you say on the one occasion that there was a real danger at one point of time. forming from being a battle between terrorism and the. war the danger is there the president is in the best position because he's seen this he was going around the camps already seeing watch out keep

a keen eye. you know it will just take it's like gasoline spread all over and it just takes a spark and he knew at that time that syria and iraq would soon stop the lies and the diaspora and isis would be defeated and where we'll go the couple hundred or a couple of thousands of southeast asian jihadist fighters who joined were will they go how do you think these people should be down to decrease the it's not only the fighters it's also the families it's also the children again the indonesian recent internation example shows that the children could also be used as he said bombers well you know. a no nonsense father with a firm hand but an open heart you know no one wants to scold or put in jail or stand in the corner his son or his daughter you know but if you lose your lad these people into your back into your house and you know that they present a potential danger if they are terrorists you know then they are

a trip to all nations to people having said brothers in the govt have to communicate that to us there's need for rehabilitation there's a need to communicate to their families that they have been rescued and not captured you know but there's so much to be done from intelligence sharing from. taking out the fertile ground to for recruitment of that kind of mentality so poverty and crime and drugs put together just creates that fertile ground of breeding extremists and this kind of ideology now you mentioned already did that the united states and the philippines have just. joint military exercises to build on the lessons of the moroccan siege involving some eight thousand troops from both sides as well as a small contingent from australia and japan is that a sign that your political relations with the united states to be restraint as you

sad. but the criticism about the war on drugs. is it a sign that that relationship isn't proving well i don't know the term military to military. relation you know never suffered. hell it is fact friends they do tend to sad that there is an exercise this would be suspended we suspended all of the exercises in the south china sea and with regards to certain aspects of the eight thousand you mentioned today it was more for disaster prevention so yes we focused on that and he's keeping it that way what i'm saying is that if people to people the relationship is still strong military to military relationship be strong and you know russia and china have never said to us and never interfered with our relationship with the united states but they don't have such close to the million tires yes but that makes the relationship strong when you respect the bilateral relationship with your friend with the other friend you know this isn't grade school or high school way and if you fight with

a friend you want all your other friends to fight with him or to you know you have to have much your relationships and that includes security and defense arrangements now speaking about maturity and leadership present to tears his personal style his temperament his sense of humor sometimes compared to that of donald trump do you find that comparison flattering. you know they're both authentic speakers they say or do a tweet what what they want but you know in the philippines he's been compared more with president put in political determination political will a vision of what to do in the country remember the problem with the there is just not only who they are and what they do in the direction but also the circumstances at home you know it's very hard to judge a president donald trump he's a good friend to the philippines but he is in a political circumstances where there are you know challenges in all fronts so we

have challenges. with the u.s. congress challenges with the n.g.o.s who are using human rights as a political weapon challenge just sometimes with the state department but we're trying to build those bridges you know but in the meantime president that there's a really care who it is compared to you know he just wants to do a good i understand it's very easy for the leaders to publicly shrug that kind of shrug off that kind of criticism and i think it gets to you and when your country's being maligned over and over again it's it's not pleasant especially for you're dealing with some real life but president that they're the best and care as far as he's concerned he likes president trump they have a good connection they talk frankly but this fire suppressant this concern he very much like see he's called president putin one of my idols you know so and he says it's none of your business if i like him or not now incidentally president trump also has his own druck epidemics to tackle and correct me if i'm wrong he has not

only refrained from criticizing the philippines over the conduct of the war on drugs he actually sat and praised president for the quote unquote deliverable job joe job on the drug problem does the philippines assessed chomps efforts to address the american opiate crisis in the same way do you even analyze what the end of the demo the president has said that he's very supportive he has empathy he understand what the americans are going through unfortunately the e.u. the us and western media do not understand that there are different challenges when it comes to drugs. now a president is talking about opioids but in the past it was about more of cocaine and cocaine and methamphetamine have different effects in cocaine it's a health issue with the person but that person doesn't go around. and raping people

killing people raping two years old shooting their father met them felt the means had that effect and that's what they were trying to. do you can counter that with saying that even when you have a mentally disabled person committing a crime you do put him through assessment and that's what we're doing but this human rights groups wants to legalize prohibit the drugs and it's making it appear there's and even the un rep with the has said there's no evidence that this kind of drugs need to violence so even with the mentally disturbed person you know identified a dangerous dangerous to himself or herself then just to family and to remedy so we are just remain being the epidemic of drugs illegal drugs in the philippines respect precedent trumps efforts but we also recognize said that human rights and drug issues have become so politicized you know that we're not discussing it in the

level to solve it but to criticize each other and helpful. secretary i notice that the war on drugs is pretty much the only thing that the western reporters ever ask you about and i don't want to focus on too much as that but i do want to ask you one more question on on this issue i came across a poll from last year we suggest that seventy three percent of filipinos worry about becoming victims of extrajudicial killings and that's about as high as the general public support for the crusade again against crime so that leads me to conclude that people support the goal but they're a little bit apprehensive about the math do you share because it depends on the question in the poll so if you ask do you support so for example if you say do you support nuclear power and you get eighty percent and then a fall out happens somewhere and you ask the same question are you concerned that the fallout will happen of course your answer will be you know but look at the.

nowadays you know people are seeing that we have safer streets people are seeing that yes there are abuses but this was because of fun abuse of police force not because of precedent that there is this directive and with us now by modern day quick meant more surveillance more c.c.t.v. smar by the cameras there more assurances to the public that you know this drug is precisely against those who violate the law and those who are violent you know precedent that there has told president trump and president listen carefully that we don't shoot people in cold blood but what did the american media report that precedent that they did not discuss human rights so you know they're focused on the form that on the substance they did discuss human rights in a manner of a friendly nations respecting each other sovereignty what would you say today's who claim that they detect administration has been a bit blinded by this and to drive campaign and overcommitted police and army

resources to counter the drug problem at the expense of other security challenges which. could have had the situation be described discussed previously in romney well we care about the filipino we care about the philippines and we know that we would have would open up the day that we were narco state if we don't do this so we don't really care that much about the people who has the luxury to provide solutions that didn't work or were given the chance to solve the problem and didn't in order to problem so any country with an existential trap is always criticise that they focus too much on that trip but precisely why you call it the next the stench of trip it's a threat to your existence so if we don't pay that if we didn't if the president didn't put that focus will wake up one day that the all the families in the philippines have problems with drugs with violence and a narco state that we've already seen generals we've seen the politicians we've

seen hype officials we've seen billions millions thousands of passes in drugs we've saw a cache of cash and drugs in mirali so i think we prove our point that it is a real danger to us and if other people want to ignore it if other n.g.o.s want to politicize it that's their problem but we'll deal with the real problem secretary and first do we have to leave it there i really appreciate your time very late to shape the future and i think you and i encourage our viewers to keep this conversation going on our social media pages and i hope to see you again same place same time here on worlds apart.

the. united states can instead of. it's news and it's tax on other country's. economic sanctions or are often just the beginning another thing you like to do is place some military pressure on the countries a true talking about. and there has to be an effort to demonize that country and the leader of that country. believes it's a responsibility for the home. and we need to make rules for the rest. because without us there will be change.

that i'll add here that. much as the spirit of the old. it took a little. i don't know you said a it and being that doesn't mean i'll just tell you that outside of thought but on the and. by then i got a session on the nod that a. bad day is a shift on. a study that came out and said i'm. going then want. some solar sail or not so it. can you know so it was revealed to the pope multiple injuries among can connect to so for them to keep sophie whole book but shows real you know mars on the phone to the book and even perfectly possible sources say you know what i'm going to see.

but i wasn't. my. own i'm an. awful lot. like. something. else and look my. own up to now maybe i maybe i'm a bit old after. the

opening of the u.s. embassy in jerusalem on monday was met with mass protests with sixty protestors. from around the world. relations between the e.u. and the us. as the european union's energy chief reassures iran that the bloc remains committed to the nuclear deal washington's or read about agreement brussels really looking at the latest official so for the. show well she didn't fit in. with friends like that so many. in engineering europe's longest bridge connecting crimea to russia opened.

welcome to the program here on r.t. international your timing is perfect for the weekly top stories of the week the main headlines of today. the opening of the u.s. embassy in jerusalem on monday was met with large scale protests across the region . there's. this group. that was let me go there and we extend a hand in friendship to israel the palestinians and to all of their neighbors may there be peace we pray for peace. i think i.

wrote. i. think. the opening of the embassy went ahead as show actual despite the ongoing protests including outside the gates of the new compound so here's a quick look at why jerusalem is such a contested city. jerusalem is a city that's been a point of contention for nearly a thousand years ever since the first crusaders arrived to drive the muslim population away the nearly two centuries the area was governed by christian congress under the name of the kingdom of jerusalem but the end of the thirteenth

century had been a crusade and ended up under muslim control with so much turbulent religious history today the area holds significance for christians jews and muslims alike all regard different parts of the old city to be their only sides and since the formation of the state of israel in one hundred forty eight israel considers jerusalem to be its capital the subsequent conflict with the arab neighbors so israel captured and annex the entire city of jerusalem the move has never been recognized by the. stands firm on the idea of establishing the two state solution where israel and palestine exist independently so by president trump announcing moving the embassy to jerusalem he's on the line that the u.s. recognizes the holy city to be the capital of israel for the international community value goes against the notion that in any change in the city status should come through negotiations a not a unilateral action. angry crowd has gathered there protesting against him if he

needs maybe he thought ninety keep the crowd. why you have. i'm here to oppose the decision by the u.s. administration to relocate their embassy in the heart of the contested city in the heart of the did it for thirty five to forty percent of its residents are living under occupation most are not that is the that is stated denied basic rights i mean the group at all that's left for the diaspora jews against the occupation we're here because we oppose transcending the we think it's playing with the lives of israelis and palestinians alike in our lives and if it is not a game. the. was. was meant to be and it's maybe parliamentarian what do you what do you thing. about the whole incident we are. in a demonstration which has been licensed by there's been a police but immediately after we arrived they attacked the effect member of the

knesset just because we had it been the best in the end and then they. pushed us to the back we are here to see that jerusalem east is ok if i did it today it could be the capital of the state the palestine the tensions are definitely running high here as you can see these scuffles and clashes and we're being pushed forward and there. was a lot of anger. on what happened let up in fact right out the heart of the firefight up to me don't doubt it but it sure did it for free when i don't think what i did. was all of this coming as the embassy just across the road is opening so while the world is witnessing crime pictures of a historic occasion our future we see them in to see opening just across the road of these kind of scenes unfurling where there's a lot of anger and out of frustration and

a lot of disappointment that the american government went ahead with this move this around the army has come ahead on its handling of the protests insisting that they followed standard procedures while acting in self defense against palestinian protesters it also says it used to live rounds in a selective manna and we also guests for their views on the embassy. only he'll be miserable some people around us won't expose tolerance to those who declare that they want to kill us who declare that they want to get into israel by booby traps by clutch leak or by a guy falls poorer than they're just you know at the regional high limit our other one is not exactly on the island the nerdier are some years later in that has only two for for eleven years your start up is always what policy has brought to the world where we have anything resides racism schiffman and. a lot of

and not anything jews are now a small minority and that population and the more of a minority they become the more undemocratic. and racist israel becomes there are zero israeli injuries zero israeli casualties over two thousand palestinians injured over fifty seven palestinians killed including i'll sorry how magic. what do all of the roof protests hamas is not my favorite organization hamas is a politically bankrupt group which has completely failed to exploit israel's gross gross contradictions and to use them against the this increasingly raissa state i have something to tell you

we want to stop the policy and state in the future the two state solution is the international solution it's not the palestinian solution alone i do believe still that there is a chance for this solution but it will take courage and it will take resolve from the international community to step up. well some of america's traditional allies have moved to condemn his decision to relocate the embassy calling it a breach of international law and saying that it inflames an already tense situation where some of the criticism was voiced at an emergency session of the united nations security council on tuesday the u.s. representative insisted that the embassy move to not undermine the peace process it has no bearing on jerusalem's holy sites it does not prejudge whatever the parties might negotiate and a peace agreement it does not under mind the prospects for peace in any way and yet

for some this is supposedly a cause for violence the un human rights council on wednesday voted to launch an international probe into the mass deaths of palestinians on the israeli gaza border washington condemned the resolution with the u.s. envoy suggesting the american international organization has more important issues to deal with however as artie's caleb maupin explains nikki haley's accusations 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 going to 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 use of 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 mostly peaceful palestinian 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.
