in every way that we can 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 get america's support because they're not protesting in the right country. big protests

in iran the people finally get some wise as to how the money and wealth is being stolen and squandered on terrorism looks like they will not take it any longer the u.s. is watching very closely for human rights violations with israel all bets are off on world press freedom day heather now it was all about championing the rights of journalists that is until somebody mention gaza we see all too often that journalists continue to take great risks to pursue this important work would you also condemn the recent deaths of journalists journalists in the gaza strip look there are unfortunately a lot of journalists who die all around the world i'm not going to be able to list every single death of a journalist and we understand that israel has a right to defend itself back in april yasser move taja palestinian photo journalist who was wearing a jacket clearly marked press was shot by an israeli sniper now if this was intentional it could possibly constitute a war. by israel but heather nauert thinks it was self-defense either way she

doesn't have time to talk about every journalist who's been killed and apparently his death doesn't fit in with washington's agenda. r.t. new york. the rift between the e.u. and the us is deepening over the iran nuclear deal the e.u.'s energy chief has reassured to iran that the bloc remains committed to the agreement the statement came during his first official visit to iran since donald trump pulled the u.s. out of the accord the european union. states listen. there was absolutely unanimity amongst the government that. the firm disagreement will stick to the commitments make them to be second in.

the e.u. energy chief also said brussels aims to maintain the growth of trade between european and iranian companies to ensure this the book decided to trigger legislation that would allow e.u. to recover losses incurred by u.s. sanctions on iran has also instructed the european investment bank to facilitate e.u. investment in iran. closer look at how e.u. u.s. relations. no arguing with it america and europe had something special a relationship unlike any other they did everything together condemned rogue regimes slapped naughty countries with sanctions even when they wanted to get we have a very strong relationship with our friends and partners our friends in the u.s. administration we have a really great relationship both rand's life and this is this very special

relationship this is us almost too good to be true and it seems it was money trumps all now that america has unilaterally pulled out of the nuclear deal with iran it could start sanctioning european states companies that haven't the to do business with iran e.u. leaders merkel mckown others tried to change trump's mind with love. i. think you. except love has nothing on money europeans and facing american sanctions that's not very nice is it not something friends would do looking at the latest decisions of president. bush

that. europe has had enough they stand to lose cash because of america and they won't let that happen. to divert as the european commission we have the duty to protect european companies so we knew me to act and this is why we're launching the process of activating the blocking statute from one thousand nine hundred six. but you're a busy. doing is using a statute initially developed to circumvent washington's trade embargo on cuba the law basically protects european states from laws or sanctions implemented outside of europe you can see a political resolution trumps bully boy tactics haven't gone down well in europe the block is finally showing its teeth. what do we want to be.

or do we want us european. economic interests move once the economic relations with russia what can you say every relationship has it's ups it's just that some bumps and didn't divorce. a bridge linking mainland russia to the crimean peninsula was officially unveiled on tuesday six full months ahead of schedule it will reduce the region's reliance on sea transport and allow more tourists to visit the area which has been a very popular summer destination for russians for a century.

so the first use of the completed bridge was in fact that cat which happens to live in the area somehow the cat also has a social media account where this video appeared and which has now more than forty thousand subscribers. now the russian president vladimir putin was at the opening

ceremony driving a truck over the new bridge. are you feeling. pretty and drove across the nine hundred kilometer bridge in an orange truck passing from the mainland to the crimean city of coach a team of construction workers joined the president for the ride though not everyone how it was that enthusiastic about the new bridge an article in the washington examiner suggested kiev should blow it up and the right to even went into detail about how this could be done and political commentator john bosnich things the article went to acceptable free speach. 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 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 outward call by a journalist so-called journalist for an attack on a civilian structure i play most henri's for you here in the weekly on r.t. international the program returns in just a moment. we

have to judge countries and leaders directives. so we need more objective but the reality is. 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 sometimes but it's sometimes actually a different world view just by powerful people. twenty past the hour here in the russian capital africa has long promoted itself as a safari holiday destination catering not least to well off travelers throughout

its months much like this one. what appears the reality on the ground is often less rosy. looking to expand their territories and that according to one new study has led the government of the east african state of tanzania to. indigenous communities. in the early two thousand but tensions rose off to some twenty thousand people were allegedly left homeless last september with nearly six thousand homes deliberately damaged by some of those affected have told us their story. on the we got to come out of the fight it was us on the we got the model west got it up like that across up because i want to forget

that it woman of him was when i met a crowd of about thirty. women are whatever are you know we don't but i've got that while you're. on the go with someone who's in there not to get on a lucky lucky. you know so uniforms are. close and yet here was a sub. quarter why do i. need to know my cousin. not to know who caused her to not. go to those. who are mom then the one visit to one is all good people he says come on and i know she religious lation and landlubbers in the name of conservation the girl tanzania has been dispossessed in the indigenous kluges these legislations have been used to basically do not i them aside their access to grazing lands that access to water

holes but not just that it has allowed some of the safari companies that are operating in the area to conclude that the officials who have been intimidated who have been arrested and beaten in the villages because they have tried to use their ancestral lands we also find that they have been violent in big chains and these are all been carried out in the most rewarding tourism or some of the noise and in the absence of food it has led to widespread hunger managership and disease the kind of disposition that they report priest you shills are going to not just be forced out of their homes and lands with their messiah being forced out of existence the head of one company being pro bono thomson so far is strongly denies being involved in any of the evictions director rick thompson as that they also work with local communities and the government to improve access to water but activists on the ground tell a different story. if i look for example what happened back in logan and six

governments i've mixed it to people from an hour and five times and yet the customer lists i don't was dell's whole bunch of wireless in and there were where the houses were burned you know well. there was no in the planning well. you know when you live in a place you wrong you have structure you have little social services and now you a whole day just into the forests so if you ask me well i must say how black market place like i don't where they out you live in the us their whole. u.s. special forces soldier has subjected himself to waterboarding to try and show that it is not a form of torture some kind of a posted a facebook video of being drowned and then explain his main reason for doing so imagine me having a tainted does this look like torture to you guys it doesn't look like torture to

be either the reason we're doing this at a base. hero is readied for our that's been appointed to be the director the cia waterboarding is an interrogation technique that has been used by the cia and many human rights groups on the u.n. say it doesn't want to torture it can cause serious health consequences like a brain and lung damage and death but tim kennedy's stunt isn't proving a convincing to everyone is some of the online reaction if waterboarding wasn't torture then the be no reason to do it i was a navy pilot and went to in one thousand nine hundred eighty one waterboarding is torture but aborting is not torture it's just the process replicating the sensation of being drowned to inflict physical and psychological pain in a prisoner in order to extract information so yet totally different from torture. the new cia director praised by tim kennedy in the video has been widely criticized

for her involvement in the interrogation techniques which included waterboarding at secret prisons she was also being accused of destroying video evidence of the torture of terrorist suspects and we discussed the waterboarding video with former guantanamo bay detainee begg he says that such practices do amount to torture no matter what a soldier might say. many people can withstand different types of shorter for example i know it might be. the pain of having his own twisted or having that feeling that pulled out compared to others who can't but it's not based on the individual's ability to be able to take that torture all that it's according to the definition of the law intellectual interest in just recently the two people captured by the syrian defense forces who are alleged to be water that if you want to avoid captives their american captives here the americans are saying these two individuals that have committed war crimes is complete hypocrisy in its complete

and it opposes more importantly international law which which sets out was torture completely i said is that not only physical torture for those so it's psychological torture for the use or to force confessions out of people's eyes or drawn out for the weak leader an artery international has been a busy week for your top worldwide headlines the program returns in about half an hour. with more make this manufacture consent to public wealth. when the ruling classes protect themselves. with the financial merry go round the sun be the one percent. time to ignore middle of the room sit. room real news.

for a world cup twenty eight team coverage we've signed one of the greatest goalkeepers of all time but there was one more question by the way who's going to be our coach . guys i know you on. he's a huge star and the huge amount of pressure you have to go to the center of the beach. and do so little the great the great good you are the rock at the back nobody gets busted you we need you to get the best go. alone and doesn't want to and i'm really happy to join us for the two thousand and three in the world cup in russia meet the special one. meets just at the reno bianchi team's latest edition of make up as we go so i need to just say look.

what politicians do sometimes. they put themselves on the line and they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president and she. wanted. to go on to be press it's like before three of them or can't be good. i'm interested always in the lines in the house. yes sure. and a little bit. about your sudden passing i've only just learned you worry yourself and taken your last wrong turn. you're after caught up to you as 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 things

that i never got off my chest. i remember when we first met my life turned on each fret. but then my feeling started to change you talked about war like it was again still some more fond of you those that didn't like to question our ark and i secretly promised to never be like it said one does not leave a funeral the same as one enters in mind gets consumed with death this one differs as to be ten out because there are no other takers. to claim that mainstream media has met its maker. in other words you know you which because of the both is sure to go a little on the koreans could put through what you. it was a cute. bit posole cause. is up in the lungs with story when you know it's

not a need. for you when you go to use some of those artful but it gets on this list and it's going to go. slow to slow it is when you know how to weave through you know the destroying them or the one that is over. funded stuff on the. slow play. the hero status of step on bond was short lived in two thousand and ten victoriana covert each was elected president this time the international community had no doubts about the legitimacy of the elections. in january two thousand and eleven victoriana covert repealed the hero title of bond era. almost four years into his presidency though another revolution shook ukraine unfortunately this one was anything but peaceful. night.

mr yanukovych which i'm an american i'm an outsider to the situation and it's very complicated but i would like as a as a filmmaker just to jump into the action and go to those moments in november two thousand and thirteen you're president of the ukraine you've been president for three years at this point the country is in bad economic shape very bad you have a trade agreement with russia and now you are seeking to make a better agreement with the e.u. with the european union and you are negotiating can you bring me to that moment and what you're thinking just sitting at the bill or translucent video for the media. in the. probably i'm would be pleased to treat that in the. but the more will not. drop out of your previous film numbers not only were nuclear phone. not old naval

lieutenant one not but it is written you would. villepin to have order number but it loud you pretty you had then asked why didn't that issue in the snatch it in there by the. very phone glenna cillian it please you see one night in that honesty julian haas or was that she didn't your last quote of the senate but it also the whole bit. but he isn't here. at the new partially. through here body on. but also. i think up customers not old know well you know for the one they have but here the it these to do not some of us thought well as i see it. and i see it now because the storm we have to was so i mean it abort it but if you want to use it which national interests it there will be government will

train erase you. so there's no risk of you doing the economy. socialists still unknown you can only assume when you can get national. committed no since you don't operate them. you just operate them which is almost just going to. take you a bit of them. seems to me that what i mean the national territory was just take it to go where. you got them in the tradition. of the tone and you would open locally in the. economy but i scored zero. but year you wrote back and in such thing you put it very close to you. i'm. stuck on a shelf. because you can usually use the current issue as opposed to be good to you will but in the. know when you don't need to back up let's.

say you would open a new even shallots to spear home more than earth and put you're. really zealot but i was. violent clashes erupted in the ukrainian capital kiev as more than one hundred thousand people protested against a government decision to delay an association deal with. the tele you were minister of interior affairs for the ukraine during this period and you were chief of police essentially of the country can you tell me your version of what happened from november protests through february protests in middle school a girl in four months or. so who did this issue but not some of the law schools all of. them michel it could be you can use throw in prison. but decide your.

civil peace can say those are semi outs and you leader of the opposite. party father that polak talking book leader of the opposition nationalist far right political party vitali klitschko leader of the opposition party who die both e.u. and ukrainian officials said on thursday the suspension of talks on closer ties could be revived after the two day meeting but officials said the deal was off the table for now. i think for a. pro e.u. protests on the streets of kiev and to their second day the crowd of iran a thousand protesters were joined by the leader of the opposition or any well boxing champion vitaly klitschko he called on the demonstrators to maintain

pressure on the government after it decided not to sign a major trade deal with the e.u. you go back to kiev the next day after the meeting with merkel and protests are up at my right can you take me through that period. by the minute the worst with them you see. more of the deal or at the more we'll have. to go to. me a. little i grew. up just in the country. is the i don't like the interest those are the least the world will to shift my ground. robert perry is a long time investigative journalist based in washington d.c. best known for his major disclosures about the iran contra scandal in the one nine

hundred eighty s. he is the founder of consortium news where he is. reported extensively on the crisis in ukraine and the forces behind the unrest and in geo is a non-governmental organization now many n.g.o.s are quite legitimate they represent good causes that maybe they help people in a country the door deal with water problems or deal with various kinds of social problems but there are some n.g.o.s that have become funded by government entities and serve more the purpose of that government rather than trying to serve the people that they are sensibly working for one thing we saw in the one nine hundred eighty s. at that point the central intelligence agency had been largely discredited because of the scandals that had been exposed in the one nine hundred seventy s. but that being here is the cia has secretly financed its overseas activities of the national student association but then there came to light a fantastic way of the cia penetration so when the reagan administration came in

there was this concept that instead of having the cia which traditionally would go into these different target countries funding media funding n.g.o.s funding different political operations that was essentially farmed out to a new organization called the national endowment for democracy which was created in one thousand nine hundred three and it would do pretty much what the agency used to do it would go into one of these countries and it would support various political groups train activists deal with journalists business groups and try to advance u.s. foreign policy interests sometimes against the interests of the host government the target government and beyond that they received financial and other logistical help from the national endowment for democracy and other u.s. agencies that help them training activists working with journalists to get their side presented more favorably they work on things like how do you get traction how do you get things to go viral how do you then use that to generate support for your

cause and support. that was generated was the thought of stuff and i had a founder of one of ukraine's new media outlets. will bring you as much good t.v. knew very well how to make something go viral. it was his notorious facebook post on november twenty first two thousand and thirteen that brought the first crowds to my dog. gets on the suckers to retrieve the chance you get to put the last dollar with this. if you don't read the newspaper you are uninformed if you read the newspaper you are misinformed. to deliver your message efficiently enough in the modern world with so many different technologies and means of communications you must embrace them all as the disturbing events of your own my don started on november twenty first two thousand and thirteen three newt.
