country's actions and leaders said the rector gives case per case you know you're going to everything the us the us is correct 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 leans. their worldview so this is where social media and direct communication comes in unfortunately it's sometimes called fake news it sometimes is but it's sometimes actually a different world view package 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
4:01 pm
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 bill you are in of the 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 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
4:02 pm
in so far us corporations in this map that we've signed agreements where our scientists are very excited our department of science and technology our department of energy is excited that the way it works with your. agencies in atomic and nuclear fields ok well secretary we have to take a very short break now but he will be back in just a few moments statement. united states. and its attacks on other countries. economic sanctions are just the beginning another thing you like to do is play some military press the country talking about.
4:03 pm
and there has to be an effort to demonize that country and the leader of that country. has a responsibility for the. weekend to make. the balance that the. that our appiah that. can. only be taking. a stand i mean separate it being that does not allow them to tell you that outside of that much money and. by then cutting.
4:04 pm
4:05 pm
come back to worlds apart. on 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 long destructive siege that followed deep fears among asian countries as well as across the world 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 the whole return from syria. do you into
4:06 pm
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 a city in an urban setting it's usually outside and sunni they say that you know if there are religious undertones or society or historical differences but here it was just filipino against filipino in the name of a pervert dead. and already 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
4:07 pm
best position because he's seen this he was going around the camps already saying 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 stab ilyse and. and isis would be defeated and where we'll go the couple hundred or a couple of thousands of southeast asian jihadist fighters who join diet where will they go how do you think these people should be doubted because the it's not only the fighters it's also the families it's also the children again the engine asian recent internation example shows that the children could also be used as he said bombers well you know. it should be dealt like 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 the. you know but if you lose your lad these
4:08 pm
people into your back into your house and you know that they present a potential danger if they are terrorists then they are a trip to all nations to all 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 siege involving some eight thousand troops from both
4:09 pm
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 over the criticism about the war on drugs. is it a sign that that relationship isn't proving whether the general term military to military. relation you know never suffered. it is fact friends the detective said that there is an exercise it 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 two 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 so that they don't have such close to the million tires. yes but that makes the relationship strong when you respect the
4:10 pm
bilateral relationship with your friend with the other friend you know this isn't grade school or high school where you 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 as a 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 politico determination political will a vision of what to do in the country remember the problem with the there is just not only who 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
4:11 pm
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 that this is really care who it is compared to you know he just wants to do a good i understand it very easy for the leaders to publicly shrug that kind of 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 if you're dealing with some real life but president that that's and as far as he's concerned he likes president trump they have a good connection they talk frankly but this fire us the president that 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
4:12 pm
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 and has been detected for the quote unquote deliverable job joe job on the drug problem does the philippines assessed chomps efforts to dress their marriage. crises in the same way do even analyzed but 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
4:13 pm
and cocaine and methamphetamine to have different effects in cocaine it's a health issue with the person but that person doesn't go around raping people killing people raping two years old shooting their father met them fit the means have 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 you put him through an assessment and that's what we're doing but this human rights groups wants to legalize prohibited drugs and it's making it appear there's an even the you end up with two and 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 they just threw her family and new remedies so we are just remedying the epidemic of drugs illegal drugs in the philippines respect president trump's efforts but we also recognize to say said
4:14 pm
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 it's not helpful. and secretary i notice that the war in drugs is pretty much the only thing that the western reporters ever ask you about and i don't want to focus not to mention 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 out as high as the general public support for the crusader against crime so 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
4:15 pm
a fallout 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 press the later polls nowadays you know people are seeing that we have safer streets people are seeing that yes there are abuses but this was because of fund abuse of police force not because of precedent that there is this directive and with us now by modern day quick men more surveillance more c.c.t.v. 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 there has told president trump and president has listened 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 to those
4:16 pm
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 the situation we described discussed previously in mitt romney where we care about the filipino we care about the philippines and we know that we would have what will can up to 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 believe that if we didn't if the president didn't put that focus will wake up one day that the all of five minutes
4:17 pm
in the philippines have problems with drugs with violence and niklas state that we've already seen generals we've seen the politicians we've seen hype officials we've seen billions millions thousands of past us 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 unfortunately we have to leave a day i really appreciate your time very late to shape this the fraternity thank you and i'm courage of yours to keep this conversation going in our social media pages and i hope to see it again same place same time here and all the parties. are.
4:18 pm

4:21 pm
to russia finally i would. rather welcome you watching weekly here on r.t. international is just on six pm here in moscow. now this week the u.s. officially moved its embassy in israel to jerusalem sparking new tensions in the region as palestinians also claim the city as their own it sparked protests service since which have become the deadliest in years. i. mean. there's more but. there's. little. doubt that wrote it out of that little that would leave send
4:22 pm
a hand in friendship to israel the palestinians and all of their neighbors may there be peace. peace. talks all. clear . to live. from. the opening of the embassy went ahead and shed fuel despite the ongoing protests including outside the gates of the new compound all correspondent witnessed the same. angry crowd has gathered there protesting against him to see meet the needs radio police are trying to keep the crowd at bay why you have. i'm here to pose the decision by the u.s.
4:23 pm
administration to relocate there have a seat in the heart of the contested city in the heart of the city for thirty five to forty percent of its residents are living under occupation most of them are not citizens of any state that the night of basic rights i'm here with a group called all that's left for the diaspora jews against the occupation we're here because we oppose terms and to see who we think it's playing with the lives of israelis and palestinians alike in our lives and if it is not a game. tb and israeli parliamentarian why what do you what do you think about the whole incident we are. in a demonstration which has been licensed by those in a police but immediately after we arrived they attacked attacked a member of the knesset just because we had it been for the fasting and for god and then they are. pushed us to the back we are here to see that jerusalem east is ok
4:24 pm
if i did it today it could be the capital of the state the palestine tensions are definitely running high hair as you can see this scuffles and clashes and whipping push pull it and it was a lot of anger out of. what happened let up in fact right at the heart of the hire fight up to me deals that up it sure didn't create one i don't think oh. come. on if this coming as the embassy just across the road is opening so while the world is witnessing crum pictures of a historic occasion our future we see them in the sea opening just across the road are these kind of scenes i'm sending where there's a lot of anger and out of frustration and. lot of the disappointment that the american government went ahead with this minute or asli reporting there with the israeli army has commented on its handling of the protests insisting that it
4:25 pm
followed standard procedures acting in self-defense against palestinian protesters it also says it used live rounds in a selective manner both israelis and palestinians have longstanding statehood bid to jerusalem we take a look at why. drucilla miss a city that's been a point of contention for nearly a thousand years ever since the first crusade has arrived to drive the muslim population away for 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. up on the muslim control with so much turbulent religious history today the area holds significance for christians jews and muslims alike regard different parts of the old city to be their holy sites and since the formation of the state of israel in nine hundred forty eight israel considers jerusalem to be its capital the subsequent conflict with the arab neighbors so israel captured and annex the
4:26 pm
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 underlined that the u.s. recognizes the holy city to be the capital of israel for the international community that goes against the notion that any change in the city status should come through negotiations a normal you know natural reaction. when we discuss the complexity of the curious an issue with our guests. here in israel some people and all of us want our store expose korans 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 well poor that they're just you know of the breed don't know how literary stories are very our other one is not exactly on the island the governor
4:27 pm
on a sunday or later in that i've seen lately it's to ford for eleven years your start up is there always i'm what policy has brought to the world they're always you have anything resides arrays of them with shipment and that is really a lot of antarctica anything. jews are now a small minority in 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 l.o.l. how shall you how magic. what do all of these protests hamas is not my favorite organization hamas is a political impact corrupt group which has completely failed to
4:28 pm
exploit israel's gross gross contradictions and to use them against the increasingly is the state i have something to tell you we want to stop the policy 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 allies have criticized the decision to relocate the embassy calling it a breach of international law and also say the inflames an already tense situation some of that criticism is voice of the emergency session of the un security council on tuesday although the u.s. representative insisted that the embassy move did not undermine the peace process it has no bearing on jerusalem's holy sites it does not prejudge whatever the
4:29 pm
parties might negotiate in a peace agreement it does not under mind the prospects for peace in any way and yet first son this is supposedly a cause for violence or despite that the un human rights council did vote to launch an international probe into the mass deaths on the israeli gaza border washington condemned the resolution though the u.s. envoy suggesting that the international organization has more important issues to deal with however as khaled moppin now 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 what a glorious day 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
4:30 pm
peace the united states is prepared to support peace negotiations united states is prepared to support a peace agreement in every way that we can i 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.
