he 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 are finally getting wise to how the money and wealth is being stolen and squandered on terrorism looks like they will not take it any longer do us 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 israeli sniper now if this was intentional it could possibly constitute a war crime 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 caleb mop and artsy new york. on wednesday north korea threatened to highly anticipated talks between kim jong un

and donald trump showing he's furious about ongoing joint military war games conducted by washington and south korea. i i i i there are exercises that are legal there are planned well well in advance we will continue to go ahead and plan the meeting between president johnson can john and the war games come at a time when pyongyang and soul are enjoying improved relations but north korea is also angry about remarks by top u.s. officials saying that it could suffer the same fate as that of libya. but i guess dia of now looks back at how the last the old between pyongyang and washington worked out we all know what carrot and stick diplomacy is but these these goes beyond that way beyond their will get private capital that comes in

north korea is desperately in need of energy support electricity for their people we can deliver that and as i said earlier this week we can create conditions for real economic prosperity for the north korean people that will rival that of the south talk about extremes not so long ago people were seriously talking about nuclear war those with a penchant for the dramatic really made the best of the opportunity north korea. best not make it work threats to the united states. they will be met with fire fury. like the world has never seen well north koreans must be sighing in relief instead of fire and fury they're now getting the carrot will they have to do is give up nukes nice let's just hope they have short memories so i think iran is on notice and they are going to have to make a choice are they willing to go down the path which i think ultimately will lead to

greater prosperity and security for iran. giving up. acquisition of nuclear weapons or will they continue down a path that is going to lead to confrontation. the radians gave up on nukes dismantled their program complied absolutely with every requirement in the end it didn't matter they gave up nukes and then america took back the whole the prosperity thing we'll see how we do with the rare and probably we want to very well with them but that's ok too they've got to understand. life because i don't think they do understand life when life gives you lemons make lemonade so long as trump doesn't take the lemons to regardless perhaps this time things will be different iran was

a one off right wrong i am pleased that the united states and north korea yesterday reached agreement this agreement is good for the united states good for our allies and good for the safety of the entire world in one nine hundred ninety four bill clinton made a deal with north korea north korea could tells its nuclear program and the u.s. builds two nuclear reactors for it to compensate energy loss gives it a half a million tons of fuel per year and normalize relations they never built the nuclear reactors they never sent any fuel and they never signed an official peace agreement you're seeing a pattern here right perspire it seems to be the carrot except what no one seems the realizes it's dangling not for tasting that's just life they've got to understand. life because i don't think they do understand life.

supporters of the parties that look likely to form italy's next coalition government of voting on their proposed manifesto the five star movement has already confirmed that its members are in favor of the program now if approved by all it would pave the way for the formation of a government eleven weeks after the election. we leveled with all their mates but we did something new for the history of the italian republic we outlined program point by point and we have to respect. all the euro skeptic likely coalition partners have outlined several key areas ranging from pension on tax reforms to a major review of treaties with the e.u. it also includes a new approach to the refugee crisis italy continues to experience and to russia viewing moscow as a partner instead of a threat but i want to know the contract for italy a new tally a nice. list to everyone even the only european level from now on.

let me be your only hope to change the cetacean of the eye to young resourceful and brave men because. i'm voting yes i vote yes although i'm not elite members because i think this iteration you need to live has to change our your weekly continues in just a. what

politicians do. they put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or somehow want to. let you go on to be prosperous like before it's treatable can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters of our. city. thanks for joining us today africa has long promoted itself as a safari holiday destination catering not least to well off travelers throughout its months like this.

there would appears the reality on the ground is often less rosy safari pogs have long been looking to expand their territory and that according to a new study has led the government of the east african state of tanzania to mass vixens of indigenous communities by the evictions began in the early two thousand but tensions rose after some twenty thousand people were allegedly left homeless last august and september with nearly six thousand homes deliberately damaged and some of those affected have told us the story. we've got to come out of the fire you don't walk. across because i well. you know we don't but i'm a god that why you. wanted to go. on

a lucky lucky. you know your son luke burns a. dozen years it was a sub. why do. you need to know more cause is. not enough to not. do to those. who. are in the room visit to one is a good cisco move in the. land numbers in the name of conservation. disposition the indy. screw ups these legislations have been used to basically denying them aside their access to grazing lands that access to water holes but not just that it is allowed some of the suppliers in companies that are operating in the area to conclude that the local 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 being carried out in the name of the already tourism or some of the noise and in the absence of food it has led to widespread hunger managing and disease the kind of disposition that the report previous to shows that the again not just be forced out of their homes and lands with their messiah i mean for starters they exist and the head of one company probe thompson safaris strongly denies being involved in any of the evictions is director rick thompson adds that they also work with local communities and the government to improve access to water however activists on the ground to tell a different story if i look for example what happened back in two thousand and six the government of mixed it to people from this hour and five times and yet the pastoralist but of was still sold much of my religion and there were where the

houses were burned you know all so. retaliated against there was a law in the planning of well being you know when you live in that place you from that you have structure you have a social services and now you hold it just to do the hardest so if you ask me well i must say how black market place to live like i don't where they are where you live in the us their whole. russia has issued a diplomatic memo to ukraine raising concerns about the safety of russian journalists in the country but this comes after security forces raided the kiev offices of a russian media group and detained its director. who's in charge of ria novosti as ukraine bureau was detained on tuesday for alleged treason his relatives have not heard from him since his arrest after efficiency was arrested at ukrainian security

services also broke into the offices of ria novosti ukraine such as lasted more than eight hours and the houses of journalists working for the agency were also searched now there has been a high level condemnation so far of actions or many organizations are accusing the ukrainian government of an attack on media freedom and they're also demanding for since his release we discuss this with our rachel denver deputy director of the europe and central asia division of human rights watch she says complaints of a media freedoms in the ukraine are on the rise under no circumstances should a 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 an obligation to provide some kind of transparency about what exactly is grounding

treason charges that's an extremely serious serious charge that carries a hefty prison sentence so they better continue to come forward with what it is that causing the grounds for this charge because working for you know working for reno the state or having a russian passport or not grounds for treason charge and other organisations have have been expressing i think more frequently concerned about media freedoms in ukraine. in a pleasure having you with us for the weekly here on this sunday it returns in about an hour. 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 and by the way who's going to be our coach. guys i know you are nervous he's a huge star among us and the huge amount of pressure to come out you have to go

all middle of the room see. the real news is room for. error. welcome to worlds apart the united states and the philippines have a curious history together once a colony down a staunch military ally when you least now are trying to take steps to redefine and rebalance its relationship with washington and by extension some of its friends and both how's it going so far well to discuss that i'm now joined by alan peter cayetano secretary of foreign affairs of the philippines secretary it's

a great pleasure great on a welcoming you're in the studio thank you very much for coming on the honor's mind thank you very much for having me now your visit to moscow comes at a time when. you can't even describe the relationship between russia and the united states intelligence i mean it's a it's a big mess i don't think we can even put some label on it i wonder if you believe this trip of yours will be noticed in washington where the friends in need their friends in the russia the russian federation president putin came today the philippines while we were fighting terrorists are we and we owe it to russia to also come and show our friendship where there are world issues are not being discussed our bilateral relationship is strong and we wanted to be stronger now let's discuss your relationship with the united states first because obviously

it has a much longer history then your relationship with russia i heard you compare your relationship with a washington to that of a family with a kid who came of age and wants to charge he's or her own path which means meeting with people that the parents do not necessarily approve of and the you yourself come from a very well placed family i'm sure your honor your parents requests above everybody else this is that how. the philippines relates to the united states the state well my father a filipino from the smallest town in metro manila and my mother is an american and my mother and my father loves my mother very much but always said that the americans cannot dictate to the filipinos what to do and it's up to the filipinos to chart their own destiny a president that there comes from this generation of appreciating the history noting that there were no points in the history times that we were taken advantage off but nothing also that the strong military ties and the aide and the help and

the people to people relationship there's three point five million filipino americans or filipinos in the in the u.s. having said that you know it's like you love your parents but they can dictate your life to you and solidity but the secretary i think in every functioning family the parents remain the authority figures even after the children leave the house this is what i'm trying to get from you how much of of an authority you vast in the preferences in it in the opinions of the united states at this point of time well that's precisely what we want to change you know. we we will not swallow hook line and sinker that we have called on or disabling interest when our interests they verge we will pursue what they see in our best interest when their common interests we should pursue it but gone are the days when anything that the

west or. american to say is good for us you know we're not in the cold war i came from well some people say we are in in an even worse period than to call it the older students today students for international relations from the cold war mentality we should have the coldplay mentality you know and it's all about fixing ourselves about you know seeing the light and being honest with each other we live in a multiple. world and the u.s. and other great powers have to find its place in the new world order now this new policy of independence is associated first and foremost with president reagan the terra there who judging from polls remains quite popular among your country man but as you yourself never tire of saying the philippines is a democracy and therefore can elect somebody with a totally different vision help us understand here how much of the current poster is tied directly to the president his personality and how much of it is

institutionally driven that bill outlast him. well in the sense that precedent that that made no gave no illusions and joining to come in and said this is how i'll treat china this is how i will treat the u.s. i don't want any one dictating upon the filipino people i'm accountable only to the philippine people so in that sense it's very institutional in the sense that it's very personal it's really the president under our constitution that dictates foreign policy but our constitution says independent foreign policy meaning a foreign policy for us but in the past we've always said whatever the u.s. or the west that's right for what is your sense of your own people's desires do you think that kind of irene taishan is going to stand for longer than four years that

he has it now my godfather was always telling me in the time that we had walkmans if you ask anyone do you want an i pod no one will say i want the night but because you didn't know what it is' you didn't know what i tunes to us so you know we're now discovering what the independent foreign policy is what it is to have mature friendship with the us what the hell in them that we want a mature relationship with russia we have a dispute with china but still we want the relationship with china and the rest of the world so it's too early to tell but i can say there's a lot of excitement there'll be a lot of benefits for the chinese people the filipino people the russian people we have a lot of chinese filipinos but when the former president went again to china they were just quiet so now there is some noise there some people are quiet in the u.s. but they know that the people to people relationship you know but still different from the international relationships of state to state now there is an asking you

because the philippines is definitely not alone in adopting this more versatile foreign policy what you say is very slim. to how for example the pakistanis. describe their relationship with the united states and other actors it doesn't look like a broader trend the question is and it is often asked by our american colleagues is whether it is likely to make asia more or less stable i mansour question by a direct example so you talk to the americans and they saying they're increasing their presence in the south china sea and in a sea because. the chinese are also getting more aggressive in building some defensive posture and putting military assets on some features in the south china sea and according to the americans the sea lanes there are too important for world com worse you talk to the chinese they'll tell you that seventy percent of their economy passes through that channel and commerce is too important to that so both

are saying the same thing but from an opposite point of view so what do we do if filipinos really be pro chinese are doing be pro america or do without both of them were pro filipina and you guys have to talk and work out this regional greece so that the us in a sea and the philippines will be caught in between so i think it's not just a trend it's the right thing it's really difficult not to be caught in between especially as time just but it's not the cold war anymore there's no left and right through right than wrong or evil and good you know it's a multi-polar world you have bilateral relationships you have multilateral relationships you have transnational crimes you have to resume so you know we have to get we have to find a way not only to live with each other but to find the world order where all of us have an opportunity for great and i ask you though we just discussed a little bit the complexity of your relationship with the united states how you try to rebalance it while retaining the positives i'm sure your relationship with china

i mean it follows a different trajectory but you would agree perhaps that the course. that is just as complex and challenging on a personal level on professional level who do you find more challenging the americans or the chinese when you negotiate. say said in the think back in the us the americans are veterans but we're saying we're off to college and allow us to pick our own friends the chinese are roommate you know they're close neighbors so regardless what we do with each other and how we three ph other it's going to affect our economy our people our security. you know so. the complexity comes in not in the bilateral relationship but in the overall. regional and world grieve agrees and in the world order so it's equally. challenging but we are speaking this frankly to our american counterparts and to

the members of the u.s. congress who care about the philippines and we think to a frank discussion you know we'll get somewhere now you just mentioned your talk at the council on foreign relations last year and in that talk you also suggested that the russians i beat cautious in seeing a relationship they philippians because of the says deeply ingrained called war perception of your country as a very very close american associate not even an ally it would say i think more like an associate more and ate how far have moscow and manila gotten. have in practical terms my perception is that both in moscow and manila there were policy makers who say you know take it a step at a time be cautious this just might be a connection between press and then put in and president there are very good talks between prime minister medvedev and president you know but from that time on you

know we have had for example we were buying arms from the u.s. and because certain members of course. that's were making noise about alleged human rights violation you know when we need that the most it was in there but here comes china and here comes russia despite policymakers in beijing and moscow saying let's be careful let's see what's happening you know took a leap of faith and came to manila and don't get me wrong the u.s. also helped us in the we and the australians the japanese you know and we appreciate this but what we're saying is that we want that much your real friendship we may be a smaller country well that that friendship also has a material benefit. is all it said not only friendship but also not that far away i mean russia or not and i have a perfect question for you on the subject because i think you have some very funny

amazing metaphors i heard you say that with ten million filipinos living abroad you guys x. print in long distance relationships i think we here in russia and a bit more said that to me time to develop stronger ties with those who are either close to these doses we can reach to territorially through land what could possibly breach this eight more than eight thousand kilometer distance but been in manila discovery i think the more we discovered russia and the more russian discovers the filipinos will find out that we have a lot of things in common. we both have a strong sense of identity and are finding our place not only in society in the world but both of us just you know wants to get along with the rest of the world have enough food that they know we're also often misunderstood in our intentions to write that this is one of the things me because again the cold war mentality i mean again it's always spock aged in some western media that this is correct this is so

wrong you know so we have to judge countries actions and leave their directives case burke. base you know you're going to everything the us the historic or you can oppose us everything the us is wrong 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 that sometimes is but it's sometimes actually a different world view packaged as fake news by powerful people now i know that russian particularly is interested in marketing its nuclear power and transferring the expertise to the and to the philippines i wonder is that something that may be of interest to you 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 them vehicles exciting motorcycles you know i ask you specifically about. this from what i knew if you actually built one nuclear power for but it never went into operation because bill you aren't of the us that 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 is not the use of nuclear power itself or aid or help or fresh or russian technology.
