name or idiots is caricatures important for sheep in public opinion but there is no place for incursion under semitism after the outcry at the newspaper pull the caricature and apologize for printing it but the cartoonist hunnish it to find that the editors have apologized is their business i do not apologize the accusation doesn't ring true with me that the drawing can be regarded as anti semitic i did not mean it's that way i can criticize netanyahu is policy even as a german. in his work has mocked and criticized other world leaders as well this cartoon draws comparisons between turkey's president of the one stalin and hitler however for that work he was defended by the german media and we heard from israeli journalist gideon levy he says the fear of being branded an anti semite is stifling legitimate criticisms of israel. watched again and again these cartoons it's

the most legitimate call to cartoons are always exaggerating that's the nature of good tunes whenever it comes to israel not only to an attorney out to israel in general immediately the european media is scared of being accused and this image isn't why any other leader can do whatever you want whenever you draw israeli statesmen whenever you criticize is immediately it comes up all on this image and europe is afraid really scared paralyzed of being labeled as anti semite rightly so by the way the only problem is that this has nothing to lose and this time it isn't. villagers in chile claim the u.k. is leaving the region without clean water by installing ever more illegal pipes to irrigate avocado plantations a new report says locals have to resort to drinking water with high levels of human

waste. but you don't hear. pursuit of nuclear winter they are one of the well so nobody goes. and that they can sign on with for us i don't know that oh well. and believe me they can but there is talk of provenance is the country's largest avocado producing region and villagers there accuse i grow cultural companies of illegally destroying water reserves with rivers in the region drying up and people being forced to use polluted water avocado farming requires substantial water use and local say producers of violating their rights. we collect water from the bath shower dishwasher and here you can see the foam we used the same water to water trees and to give a little life to the field because we don't want to stay dry forever we hope one day the water will return. to go us this river basically droid because the province

of to talk of became the country's most important district in avocado production exports those exposed to being made at the expense of and in violation of the human rights. wanting us here on there is a lot of anger pain and suffering from seeing that they accumulate large amounts of water while the rural community is drinking one of from water trucks meantime e.u. avocado imports are on the rise seeing a hundred million euro plus increase in the space of two years alexander payne years pinto from the environmental group that published this report says the water shortages have existed now for almost ten years. lifeguard be going to burlington too if your theory since you don't have enough water to really get your plants and to raise your any money and then remove doesn't exist anymore is dr promoted and dangerous has become our god because dumb people it's one of the real or now you

don't have nothing of the last year and she explores more than a hundred and sixty thousand tons of salt. thirty two thousand more that in two thousand and six you believe the expertise is increasing that's because a bracelet i look at is coming in for that and the other that if it's out at my end of the lockout even if you were you it's in china last is a group another group will benefit from this situation now that a company that supplied its products to the little water because the government has invested more than one hundred and twenty weeks median of all the euros in the last six years for why does the playback spark miss that really key question who benefits suddenly not. a motto of one of the victims of the texas school massacre has revealed her daughter had

rejected the suspected shooter before the deadly attack at the motives of seventeen year old to me to us because it's who killed ten people on friday are still on the girl was one of the first he died in the massacre. but. i turned around and saw the kid who's in my football as i see him every day and i saw him with a shotgun. he was wearing a trench coat with competence had a bone to kill to show it's. hard to shoot several people down to probably get out of. bed of that were coming out. here get him. a friend got shot in our home and soon as the alarms went off everybody just started running outside and next thing you know everybody looks and you we're. just ran. to the nearest forest i could hide like oh it might well.

we all took off in the back and i grabbed turned around the trees just you know i want to be inside and then i heard four more shots and then we jumped the fence and some due to house and then we ran to the car wash. shooter has the information contained in journals on his computer and cell phone did he said that not only did he want to commit the shooting but he wanted to commit suicide after the shooting. so this is the united states. justice according to some american media the number of people killed in school shootings in twenty eighteen is more than twice higher the number of fatalities among military servicemen since january there has been nearly one shooting a week with someone killed or inevitably the latest shooting has reignited

america's gun control debate as caleb maupin reports in the aftermath of yet another school shooting the gun control debate is heating up again you know we have to do everything human lipase. well to keep guns out of the wrong hands they mention background checks for gun sales faster background checks ok our strategies to keep guns away from people like this guy i want to ban have a total ban on assault weapons anyone who carries that gun openly is willing to use it to kill someone in the united states congress has not done anything anything to protect our students from gun violence there's all kinds of proposals in congress to stop and limit gun sales however is selling new guns really the issue at this point there's over three hundred fifty seven million guns in the united states that's more guns than people and at this point over four hundred thousand guns are stolen on average each year to put it simply the usa is awash in guns and the

firearms owners protection act makes it illegal to track them the f.b.i. can conduct criminal background checks on the people who purchase firearms but there's a catch the records of those background checks must be destroyed within twenty four hours so that no record can be kept of who purchased what gun congress now has for proposals on the table two of them are for tougher background checks another is an outright ban on the sale of assault rifles and in addition to that there's a proposal to lift the age for purchasing firearms from eighteen to twenty one all of these proposals impact gun sales but don't do anything about the millions of firearms floating around already even if there were miraculously some new gun laws that made it much more difficult to buy guns guns that are already in circulation are enough to keep killing people for decades to come so that's why there needs to be a whole host of new regulations that gun owners have to be registered and the guns

have to be registered and much more control over the black market sale of guns the problem is everything it's all weapons it's the gun culture it's. the lack of putting money into our schools so they have the counselors they need but will it be enough to change the second amendment in this country unfortunately i don't think. so almost all votes have been counted in the presidential elections in venezuela more on that and other top stories after the break. we're going to show you on the idea that dropping bombs brings police to the chickenhawk forcing you to fight the battle. to stop to try to tell you that every gossip in public life. i was telling you pull it out by. all the hawks that

we along. with one. manufacture consent to public will. when the ruling class is to protect themselves. when the final merry go round if. we can all middle of the room sick. to lose. twenty foster in moscow good to have you with us now the polls have been closed in venezuela with almost all the votes counted knol be incumbent president nicolas my

daughter looks to be reelected with around sixty eight percent of the fact. there you go. there has been a few is campaign on the part of the trumpet ministration to try and beat the venezuelan elections and they haven't succeeded really trying to stop the elections in venezuela and their attempts proved futile and like i said come rain or shine on sunday may the twentieth there will be elections and here we are to your fruits. but the vote however has been criticized with many opposition figures refusing to take part citing electoral fraud or some nations including the u.s. also dubbed the elections illegitimate even ahead of the vote on friday washington impose sanctions on some of the top brass in the country's ruling socialist party accusing them among other things of drug trafficking the government in caracas fired back saying washington is effectively trying to sabotage the vote as part of what it calls imperialist aggression i present my daughter has

a promise to restore the economy and to counter the effects of international sanctions professor of a global and latin american studies william robinson says the current poor state of the venezuelan economy is not the fault of the maduro government alone. downplaying the mismanagement of the economy by them adore government by the venezuelan government but i want to point out that the us has imposed a financial blockade and economic strangulation on the country so that includes that venezuela cannot we negotiate its debt venezuela cannot get credit to invest in the oil sector or earn anything else than a swirly cannot import its medicines and other and other goods and then there is internal hoarding and we have all of the documentation and this is not new that the united states has encouraged the opposition business community to in turn to do economics ever charged in that cell in the black market so all of these different factors are coming together so again i think that the u.s. strategy is to strangulate economically the country and that combines with the

government's mismanagement an over reliance on oil there's also been a tolerance of corruption absolutely corruption should be cracked down on it is also a bureaucracy so all of these factors come together but again i want to highlight the u.s. role because for me that's the biggest biggest story here in these elections. u.s. president donald trump has raised the stakes by threatening to investigate the f.b.i. trump tweeted that he would make an official announcement on monday you know asked the department of justice to look into whether the obama administration directed the agency to snoop on his presidential campaign for political purposes. the d.o.j. and the f.b.i. didn't deny media allegations that there was a mole in the trump campaign but quibbled with the language using the word informant not spy they refused to name him for security reasons. however the american media has alstott the informant as a stuff and seventy three year old professor from cambridge university in the u.k.

he's a u.s. citizen with a long standing links to american and british intelligence and served in three republican administrations he was reportedly part of a one thousand nine hundred high profile spying operation for ronald reagan's campaign on president jimmy carter's administration and political commentator steve malzberg says such spying is a wiring sign for democracy. if the obama administration played a role in putting a spy you could call an informant all true spy inside the presidential campaign of the opposition party i mean you know this is this is huge they say bigger than watergate this is just wipes watergate pushes war to get right off the map can you imagine what this means for our democracy and reportedly steffen help for not only met with george papadopoulos more to get paid for a trip for him to come to london and then end 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 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 said to me that's a spy. who buys a me to become a leader in adopting cryptocurrency the ruler of the emirate has pledged that hof of all bank transactions in the country will be conducted using block chain technology by twenty twenty one earlier this month crypto gurus visited a crypto currency forum in dubai to discuss the future. of mail from santiago was at the event. we've been building businesses historically centralized businesses historically but we're going to be moving from building businesses to building communities what differentiates the winners from the losers

over time is the ability to belong and sustain a community which means you have to put your community first if the ruler of dubai shaikh mohammed bin rashid has pledged that by twenty twenty one fifty percent of transactions on the federal level will be conducted using blocking technologies this is a part of dubai's initiative to become a leader in adopting law change we could miss the opportunity to go to one of the most anticipated events of the year presented by coins bank futurama block chain innovators summit and dubai which brought together some of the leading bloc chain talent investment funds and members of the album family offices all under one roof to create a platform for developing the future no one has a choice or actually think no one should ignore this industry customers suppliers and shareholders out of the linked little. family system

this business and this technology is going to do away with banks there is no way that is going that's why a lot of them out of interest to do this because all the big corporations who work at you have to go to the circus and this is really. the essence of civilization is that we all get the same chance it's fair to put you to this is excellent i'm very happy with this what made futurama really special is its support by people from all over the world the front runners a blotchy like you could tell billionaire brock here whose motto is the new definition of a billion someone who positively impacts a billion locks brock is the chairman of bitcoin foundation and a firm believer in the money free society of burning a cultural festival that. yeah new takes place in the bottom desert and gathers together some of the leading id minds and companies like google and amazon their very own burning man camps futurama incorporated some of that burning culture into

the gathering into by burning man is obviously. something that comes up in my life consistently as i like to say i'm always burning. and so any event that's incorporating burning man culture into this space is something that i care about most people don't understand why because they probably haven't been to burning man burning man is the in the beginning of the essential ization movement burning man is like the original bitcoin and again if you don't understand that culture you wouldn't understand that it's not immediately obvious burning man is like all of the culture of what we think about when we think about crypto currencies and whatnot. originates from burning man the block chain is the technology think of it as burning and as the culture. monday morning here in moscow it is often international many more of your worldwide news headlines and about half an hour.

a play for many flips over the years so i know the gunman so i got. football isn't only about what happens on the pitch for the final school it's about the passion from the fans it's the age of the super money just kill you narrowness and spending to twenty million one player. it's an experience like nothing else not to because i want to show what i think what i know about the beautiful guy great so will bowl chance with. the base and it's going to take.

welcome to sophie and colmes sophie shevardnadze the american pullout out of the iran nuclear deal is causing a headache to the european guarantors of the treaty in case of germany's threatening firms that made a large investment in iran will berlin and the e.u. deal with this well i ask. former vice president of the european commission.

washington scuttling of the iran nuclear deal that's taken europe by surprise german business in the middle eastern country now under threat of renewed american sanctions maybe turning to russia to keep the nuclear agreement on board can be on debacle restore broken ties between russia and germany will occur injuries be able to mount a concerted effort to maintain the nuclear deal and will it be enough to save it for her again former vice president of the european commission welcome to the show it's really great to have you with us today. hello sophie good to see you so after trump took america out of the iran deal which means said here we're paying companies a need on maybe subjects to american sanctions they fired back actually waiting a law that would block european companies from complying with us to say on it on any your opinion who is going to out sanction who here the united states or here of

. the three. d. americans have to biggest stick here if you will know you'll be a company or driver comical for instance and you would look at the figures what kind of business are you doing and you know what kind of business are you doing in the united states do you have not much choice and you will decide to not to invest in. continue to invest and to make business in the u.s. and if the european union really promise to compensate for all the losses. i can promise you that goes far beyond the financial capacities of the european union so i will be afraid that the american american policy of unique union that the election the american policy of taking hostage other

nations and companies can be successful at it and so they see european statute that has been activated prohibits companies from canceling their business with it on due to american sanctions so say that if i do european company it on i have to suffer the consequences brought on to me by the americans and if i quit on them e.u. will go after me doesn't this put kompany is between the devil and the deep blue sea how is that making their life easier annoy i don't think that the problem is. all of the companies. in india are on the problem is that the promise that went with. the deal was that we would do more and hope to develop the economy. to increase their

living standard of people it would mean much much more investment than we have done in the past and what i have said is and i would like to the peat that you cannot expect new major investment in the coming four major companies in particular those who are. who are leading in technology and innovation and i was really i'm leery of freight that american american action was bill calculated and we have no real defense against it so regardless of europe's countermeasure still he's saying the deal will survive without the americans i think it could it depends very much on the pollution between begun to countries in particular. china and do you hope and to european countries as far as i can see the are committed to it to do everything they

can to keep the dealer life for the people in iran of course the question will be does it be at the end of that i can or cannot see but we can see. this deal is really just the deed and this idiot in jeopardy is the whole system of nuclear and on put it felicia not only of the middle east but but everywhere and it might change the whole security pattern of the individual it's really serious very busy a serious situation. this is extremely important to augur nice cooperation between the us or. the dia because i have already mentioned in order to create a count of eight so in the wake of the united states' decision on it on donald tusk

says that with friends like us you don't need enemies trump said the same can be said about a u r us an e.u. enemies from now on. absolutely not i must say. well and i like him very much and normally he is not using strong words. of us it is surprise so my understanding was that he was. about the communication american wouldn't use the term enemy but it is obvious. but the ship between the united states do you opinion is entering a new new age it's it's not like it wasn't. more or less the americans at the europeans shit the same. the

europeans accept it that americans have to do to ship. to the americans. enough to provide security i think that's finished that's finished and be need to leave the fine. ship and they want to sing i would like to see it i know it's be in you'll be should not make the mistake to believe that the presidency. is just. a short short living mistake. i'm afraid that trump is scoopers and doing america much more than obama was and to do america should be oh well this policy will probably continue with the america i mean the america first policy so the french finance minister is calling dog european leaders to defend europe's economic sovereignty from the united states now at the same time he and his german

colleagues are courting their u.s. counterparts the new chain trying to get exceptions for is there a common is from the looming sanctions so what kind of sour and it is this if europe is repeatedly finding itself in begging positions towards the united states . you know it's it's the old the old problem the discussion is really old. how to do is to americans and to different views. then you need to have to have to work i have to confess and i'm not surprised because the french interests and the german interests are different you know it's not the same and so far. the two shits did not manage. to create a common position and my my view is that it would be difficult very difficult do we want to have to create a trade war with the united states and united states is the strongest economic

partner for you opinion and vice versa are. very much dependent on each as are. in a trade war and my view is it should be avoided as much as because because not except that the americans dictate the terms of the business has to be it has to be partnership but as long as they do not know whether the partnership is finished should try. to keep it alive so in germany was previously slammed by the united states for failing to pay its share of to percent of its g.d.p. to the nato budget tromp now assess member countries must pay four percent of their g.d.p. to nato is your money planning to meet this target if almost nobody viewer up is

even meeting the two percent area how is washington going to make everyone pay for i can tell you that's a strong majority of germans and in my view a strong majority of europeans every b.-a is slick against you what. does. not see didn't eat for. high of defense spending and you'll be doing. it. by. in defense metis we have started to do that but. i would stick the oppose dia if you have to spend two percent. full common defense and it's in my view an even higher percentage.
