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 has 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 brussels and its chief is reassured around the block remains committed to the agreement the statement came during his first visit to iran since the fall washington out of the accord the european union did we rooted it in the united states this impromptu we were all from the joint complacency of blood of. all. there was absolutely unanimity among us because of the governments that the union. the disagreement will stick to the commitments made and the disagreement looking at

the latest officials of president. i want to see them think. like that. meanwhile france is finance minister sensationally lashed out at the united states for trying to be the world economic quote policeman who know them as job comes as the trump of ministration threatens to sanction e.u. firms doing business with tehran. it's good news except are we going to accept the us is the planet's economic policeman do you accept one way domination with no respect rules obviously europe's response must clearly be noted. after america quit the iran nuclear deal and then out sanctions on tehran u.s. officials told allies that they also had to fall in line iran deal had lifted restrictions on tehran that was in exchange for a halt to its nuclear program on friday the european commission launched

a process to prevent e.u. firms from being hit by u.s. sanctions european firms would also be able to get compensation and loans if they were affected france's finance minister added that companies working with iran should keep going but. we're going to do everything to protect french companies in iran because it's in our economic interest there are dozens of french companies who have lawfully invested in iran and are doing business there and they must continue to have the right to do so. well the director of international finance aleutians associates that shabbir razvi believes that the e.u. is in no mood to obey the u.s. . i don't think european union is in the mood for listening to washington dick tut at this moment yes mr macron had a wonderful meeting in a washington. few weeks ago where mr mark ron has probably decided to become

washington's pimp in paris however the other european union countries particularly germany is in no mood to listen to washington on the business relationship that they have developed with. iran over the years it's not in the interest of anyone to create huge distance between iran on the nuclear deal or. a bridge linking mainland russia to the crimean peninsula was officially opened on tuesday the longest bridge in europe will reduce the region's reliance on sea and transport as well as allowing more tourists to visit crimea has been a popular some of us the nation for russians for more than a century.

thanks. well the first to use this new link was in fact

a cat there it is it lives in the area and feline even has its own social media account where this video was posted and is now enjoying a pretty hefty following. president threaten to probe the f.b.i. we'll bring you the full story after the break. join me every thursday on the elec so i'm unsure when i'll be speaking to a guest of the world of politics. i'm sure i'll see you then. for a world cup twenty eight team coverage we've signed one of the greatest goalkeepers of alternatives but there was one more question by the way who's going to be our coach. guys i know you are nervous he's a huge tournaments and a huge amount of pressure you have to be the center of the beach but how would you

. agree. you are the rock at the back nobody gets past you we need you to get down there we go. alone. and i'm really happy to join their father two thousand. russia meet the special one i was also appreciated me to the real p.r.t. teams latest edition make up as we go. look. for comeback the u.s. president has upped the ante in his standoff with the intelligence community with the threat to investigate the f.b.i. donald trump tweeted that he will make an official announcement on monday asking the justice department to look into whether the agency snooped on his presidential

campaign for political purposes trump also said that he wants to know whether such a scheme was directed by the obama administration earlier the f.b.i. confirmed it had an informant inside stump's campaign but refused to name that person for security reasons whether the u.s. media has. outed the informant is being stefan how three real professor at cambridge university in the u.k. he's a u.s. citizen with long standing links to u.s. and british intelligence alpa served in three republican administrations he was reportedly part of a high profile spying operation dating back to the one thousand nine hundred new ping on president jimmy carter's administration for ronald reagan's campaign. let's say on the line down to steve he's a political commentator and a t.v. host this is there is a juicy story it's a fascinating one and it's a bit of a throwback to the eighty's as we mentioned that trump wants to probe the f.b.i. first of all for placing an informant in his campaign has anything been done wrong

here to think the agency may have broken any laws or is this just unethical well i'm not an attorney but i got to tell you if the obama administration played a role in putting a spy and you could call them informant out to spy inside the presidential campaign of the opposition party i mean you know this is this is huge they say bigger than watergate this just wipes watergate and pushes watergate right off the map can you imagine what this means for our democracy and everything we've seen since you know since the investigation we've seen the f.b.i. with the text between the two people who are having the affair that they have to take trump down they need a security policy he can't win i mean violation of law at the violation of law and ethics and decency one right after the other this this revelation is huge and donald trump has every right to instruct the justice department to do whatever he

wants. let's want to pick up on something you said you said this was spying now several media outlets the washington post new york times they to an extent defended what the f.b.i. did they said it wasn't spying it was investigating now to me investigating something police do there's a claim of wrongdoing they're going to gather information spying is more secretive that would seem to be the case here so what's the difference would you say yes well i think you nailed it i mean an investigation is an investigation and everybody knows that investigations going on when you when they reportedly steffen help were not only met with george papadopoulos lured him paid for a trip for him to come to london and then and papadopoulos didn't know who this guy was basically and then when he got there and he was meeting with them said so you know all about the hacking of the russian e-mails right and he said no i don't know what you're talking about and not only did he meet with papadopoulos and and carter page we both are subsequently in trouble with the muller but he also tried to get

the cochairman of the truck campaign to enlist him hire him as a foreign policy advisor so he was trying to get inside the campaign right there for all to see never of course telling him he's investigating anything so to me that's a spy now the intelligence community has been desperate to conceal the informants identity which we've already discussed who it is they claim that they could be lives at risk now is this is this a cover up you know given the fact that stuff and how what he has previous is well known is reported reading in new york times nine hundred eighty three said that he's done this before on another occasion it was for the reagan campaign is this a valid defense they're offering. well i'd to be honest i don't know i mean i am against releasing any information that would put someone's life in harm or harm our

american agents anywhere in the world having said that every time the republican committees in congress have requested that documents be released they claim the same thing the f.b.i. the department of justice and the democrats say oh no that will put security agents lives at risk that will reveal security methods we can't do that and then eventually when these documents are released there's nothing there so i think in the past leading up to this they've been using it as an excuse to keep information from the public and i mean if this is this is if these reports are accurate and it is staff and. how where i hope nothing happens to him so far you know nobody's panicking that i could see steve appreciate you coming on taking the time to speak to us my guess the political commentator and t.v. host thanks thank you. moving on to other news africa's long promoted itself as being a safari holiday destination it caters to high and travelers such as this.

but it seems that the reality on the ground is often less rosy safari parks have been looking to expand their territories and that according to a new study led to the government of the east african state of tanzania to evict indigenous communities on a grand scale the evictions began back in the early two thousand but tensions rose after some twenty thousand people were reportedly left homeless this was just last august and september alone with nearly six thousand homes deliberately damaged some of those affected have told their stories. we got to come out of the fight. or not we got the model was kind of like that across that because i want to forget

that it was when i met. about thirty. on the whatever no we don't but i forgot that while you're. on the go with a come on he's in to get on a. unicycle the plans are. close and the idea was in a suburb. called why do i. need to know my cousin. that when the phone calls that when i. go to those. who are mom my. one visit to one is over figured he says come over and i'm a religious lation and landlubbers in the name of conservation the government tanzania has been dispossessed in the indigenous kluges these legislations have been used to be sickly deny them aside their access to grazing lands that axis to

water holds but not just that it has allowed some of the safari companies that operate in the area to collude with that local officials who have ingenuity and who have arrested and beaten the villagers because they have tried to use their ancestral lands we also find that they have been violent addictions and these are all being carried out in the name of toward a tourism arsenal dinars and in the absence of food it has led to widespread hunger managership disease the kind of disposition that the record priest you shills of the again not to be forced out of their homes and lands with their messiah been forced out of existence. the head of one of the company's probe thompson safaris strongly denies being involved in the evictions its director rick thompson and they also work with local communities and with the government to improve access to water activists on the ground though tell a different story if i look for example what happened back in london six

governments have mixed it to people from this island five times and yet the pastoralist but of was their whole soul much of my relation and there were where the houses were burnt you know all so. there was no in the planning where they could be you know when you live in a place you wronged it you have a structure you have social services and now you hold the just into the forests so if you ask me well it might say how black market place to live like i don't where they at least where i live in the us their whole. if you all would drink and if you all what you watching this is all a teacher national great to have you with us i'll be back with the latest news updates at the top of the hour see the.

united states and. its news and its tax on other countries. economic sanctions are often just a beginning another thing you like to do is place some military pressure on the countries a talking about. and there has to be an effort to demonize that country and the leader of that country to. leave the responsibility for the head. and we need to make rules for the rest. because without us there will be. what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy sunday

shouldn't let it be an arms race. spearing dramatic developments only really going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. we have to judge countries and lead there's a direct gives. so we need more objective but the reality is. you know media tries to get the facts but polls will leave. their worldview so this is where social media and direct communication comes in. unfortunately it's sometimes called faith sometimes but it's sometimes actually a different worldview factitious by powerful people.

what is described in the west as a russian invasion of crimea is a fact the presence of russian soldiers in crimea can you clarify that us discuss all about they could do would have believed according to quote but the most about such and the most go float of could and. as long ago as eighteen zero for sevastopol the naval base became the main military port of the russian empire on the black sea. during the second world war the heroic defense of sevastopol lasted almost a year and took hundreds of thousands of lives. therefore the naval base in crimea has a legacy of historical pride for the russian black sea fleet as well as being of huge strategic importance. those of us alive back then remember when there were soviet missiles put into cuba

how frightened americans were and how angry and how we almost went to a nuclear confrontation over having weapons of that kind of destruction placed that close to the united states. just fifty united states considers cuba to be in its backyard. then crimea plays at russia's doorstep. the consequences of a u.s. seizure of the face or a nato base which internationally. the most some of us india has and ensuring is natural to it which you have taught me to do and i can us put you on with that. post today and you know unless you are showing us not just but with practical putting it into shape. there's no opinion it's. so so just another thing users into this that but if there was. no willingness there ended up with the old me the only leader on that has got to shut it down look completely. it was

a piece of the school would. just i'm a party when i get there but only in no way a buzz but they're both saying no doubt on the phone sex amongst the windows me with the suzy it takes to make. a state but the national system. unless you mean it's not. supposed to think that if we act we would soak in the response. to me because you knew seemed up and you can only influence you just about in the us those. years that you play in the in your in the lead you disappear you know the same so someone. is up in the back of the in atlanta still a good little news and when you see what i pay for a bison you can get on the net and you can. die i am concerned about the expansion of nato nato has expanded into thirteen countries up to the borders of russia thirteen countries at the time what we're doing up at the team away in the ship way

not. easy during the midst of them what should the busy. in early spring of two thousand and fourteen eastern ukraine was also buzzing with protests against the new authorities in kiev this region with a population close to russia geographically and culturally feared that the ultra right leanings of the newly formed government would bring meal nationalism to their lands. and they have their reasons. the status of the russian language in ukraine has been a stumbling block for many years implementing russian as a second state language was one of the main campaign promises of president we are going to fulfill in two thousand and twelve the government passed a law making it the second official language in the southern and eastern parts of ukraine the areas where the russian speaking. makes up

a majority ukrainian nationalist groups initiated massive protests opposing the law and observing viewer might see some familiar faces there on a friday. but are lost. on february twenty third two thousand and fourteen the very next day after the regime change the new government voted for an a no meant of the official status of the russian language and even though later this decision was vetoed by the acting president alexander turchynov it still sent a message and a powerful one this alarm the russian speaking cities of eastern ukraine and people took to the streets to show their disagreement. in response don it's conducted their own demonstrations when the two parties would meet it was always tense and eventually it led to tragedy. one person died and over fifty

people were wounded in clashes during a pro russian march protesting the new government in kiev. on april sixth the crimean scenario b.p.m. repeating eastern ukraine where protesters seized government buildings. and the next day april seventh the day proclaimed don't yet see people's republic kiev replied by announcing the beginning of an anti-terrorist operation in eastern ukraine. by that time the international media was screaming about a russian invasion in ukraine russia could now be on the verge of invading ukraine but strong words state only in the media the ukrainian authorities never announced a war like situation why i.m.f. cannot give money to countries in gauged an ongoing war pets roboto shango. only think you when you go to your show will go to geneva too much money was already

invested in you. craned to stop halfway have invested over five billion dollars to assist ukraine in these and other goals that will ensure a secure and prosperous and democratic train. mccarthy writes in a city you know well it will slowly new democracy just go it is among the other most of the look at our school to there's a just north of that some of them but obviously the funds had to keep coming and the conflict had to keep going. and more bloody and deadly. and they said. as parties from both sides were using more sophisticated and lethal weapons. as well then. got border focused just. on this field of. oil natural when new protests or slow nettled one. of them busts. through

a new deal yet you know that's really kind of. the world seemed too busy welcoming this new democracy in kiev. to notice what was being done as it spread its wings over the country. many in southern ukraine had been viewing the revolution with concern. i and an anti mind on movement formed in the city of odessa in early january two thousand and fourteen the protesters set up their camp in front of the trade union house a building which would soon become a monument to a massacre of its own it's difficult to overestimate the importance of odessa it is strategically located on the black sea and it's ukraine's largest seaport it's not surprising that ukraine's new authorities were watching the situation unfolding there with growing along arm. more and more of odessa as people were joining the

anti my don movement at the same time as events in eastern ukraine were heating up . the new ukrainian government didn't have the power to wage war on too many fronts if odessa were to join the growing uprising in the eastern regions it would seriously complicate the situation. this rebellion had to be extinguished immediately and at any cost and that cost was high. on may second two thousand and fourteen soccer fans flocked to the center of odessa city for the ukrainian championship match surprisingly a great number of these fans who descended into odessa just the night before also turned out to be fighters from the my don self defense units along with members of radical organizations from all parts of ukraine that these. look at. these families and asked armed and shouting nationalist mottos began disturbances

in the center of the city as they march to the end time i don tent encampments where they attacked the end time mind on protesters sought shelter in the trading house but it was a track mind on supporters started throwing molotov cocktails into the building until it was engulfed in flames. people burned to death inside for trying to escape jumped from when this alo a fire station was less than a mile away it took almost half an hour for firefighters to arrive when they finally did the damage had been done. but here's an intriguing fact just a few days before those dreadful events a messenger from my don on three pair o.b. made a visit to odessa it's an interesting coincidence that some of the people he met with in odessa were seen at the scene that fateful day.

but not everyone was mourning on the popular political talk show schuster live the news about the people burned alive in odessa was welcomed with a long round of applause for your choice for saudi what this it but lots of your i don't want to see just put your story you know what you see. on its facebook page the right sector announced the events of may second a proud moment in national history an official investigation into this sad event has been going on now for nearly two years and it's yet to reach a conclusion but it seems the experts and all the information they needed from the very beginning. to just get really cute you can put. it looks like a desa really is

a very important piece of real estate as it was honored with a very special new governor appointed on may thirtieth of two thousand and fifteen . mikhail saakashvili an old friend of the united states and born and raised in ukraine's neighboring country georgia hello there in georgia a quick look at his biography gives one an understanding that he's been groomed for a special mission remains to be done as i did when i was honored to go to. mr saakashvili received a u.s. state department scholarship and he worked for a new york law firm which represented the organization commodity a group that appeared earlier when we learned about the color revolutions and we're dealing with democratic blood blister aleutian this is the revolution of roses and this is me kyle saakashvili with camara busy overthrowing the legitimately elected president eduard shevardnadze. but i. was feeling.

soon after the rose revolution foley georgia announced its intentions to join nato and plant fresh nato military bases in the fertile soil right on russia's border never. never never will give any peace saakashvili mission was accomplished at least with his friends and nato the georgian populace wasn't quite as happy though in two thousand and seven they took to the streets to voice discontent and mr saakashvili responded with force. people discontent. party lost parliamentary elections and the opposition took control. the president. decided not to wait for the results of the president's election and fled the country in.
