chasing the. you never know better safe than sorry i don't know that someone else is going to. unfortunately around here we are. told from some. place to. another day another diplomatic one eighty from donald trump. the historic summit with north korea might be gone after all this shortly after pyongyang rains that's nuclear sites. and now everything is being turned into a massive cloud of dust. north korea is keeping its end of the bargain

with the u.s. by this drawing its nuclear test site. also ahead in the program this hour the world's red. north korea and u.s. sanctions are just. on the other world leaders of this and petersburg international economic. news israel supreme court upholds the use of lethal military force against palestinians during this month's deadly clashes along the gaza border. you're tuning in from this hour welcome to moscow and to our to international i mean and good to have your company our top story donald trump is hinting that a meeting with kim jong could still take place the sharp u.

turn comes less than twenty four hours after the u.s. president called off the summit with the north korean leader scheduled for june in singapore. we'll see what happens to the well we thought that now they very much want to do it we'd like to see what happens. everybody plays it you know that you know that better than anybody. parties came up and joins me live now from new york trumps changing his mind with dizzying speed isn't he at the moment for something so important so many ramifications more clarity might be welcomed talk us through what's going on here well trump has a reputation for unpredictability and it seems this latest decision to possibly reverse when he shocked the world and said this historic upcoming summit was off

and was canceled it's just another example of unpredictability now his recent statement apparently his mind was changed by a recent statement put out by north korea north korea put out a statement saying they are open to meeting with the united states at any time now that apparently seems to have trouble changing his tune in saying the meeting may be back on for june twelfth now trump seems to be particularly sensitive to these statements from north korea his previous announcement that he was going to cancel the summit was also in response to a statement by north korea let's take a listen sadly based on the tremendous anger and open hostility displayed in your most recent statement i feel it is inappropriate at this time to have this long planned meeting. now the hostility that trump was referring to was when the north korean leader's referred to vice president mike pence they referred to him as a political dummy and this was in reference to the fact that mike pence had invoked

the libya and the toppling of the libyan government in two thousand and eleven as a possible outcome of the talks that were upcoming between trump and kim now the north korean press official statement they referred to him as a political dummy trump says that that was hostile now let's note north korea's actions north korea recently did destroy their only nuclear weapons test site furthermore they released three american prisoners however trump said that their statement referring to mike pence that it was it was hostile now it would appear that for trump words seem to speak louder than actions he's offended by their words however some are looking on to this and saying look trump wrote the art of the deal and it is possible that this is a negotiation tactic he's playing hardball in the lead up to the upcoming meeting or not an upcoming meeting people are wondering what's going on here however people are optimistic some people think this meeting may indeed be set to take place as i

said before trump does have a reputation for unpredictability and he seems to be fulfilling that expectation as the world is holding its breath and wondering if this historic summit if the first meeting between the head of state of the democratic people's republic of korea and a head of state of the united states will in fact take place people are wondering what's going to happen next all eyes are on the korean peninsula and on singapore where this is direct meeting is possibly going to take place yeah possibly indeed we wait to see and live from new york thank you. the first pictures showing the destruction of north korea's only nuclear test site being released or correspondent was among the small pool of journalists invited to witness the facility being decommissioned. just go to the birthing center over there and now everything is being turned into a massive cloud of dust. those

barracks were used for living for the soldiers too old to locate soldiers and workers there well now north korea is showing that it is destroying the infrastructure to. behind me is northern tunnel number two that's where five nuclear tests five most recent nuclear tests have been conducted out of four tunnels around here this one got the most battering so basically this is north korea saying look we are ready to make the first step and this is the first step that we're making to show that we are acting in good faith we're destroying all the facilities we are being told that what has been done today has rendered this site absolutely useless now they're expecting more to come out from the united states and international community but everything here is happening amid the atmosphere of uncertainty the latest rhetoric by the

u.s. president donald trump and he's a and might come pale we are hearing from north koreans that this is putting the whole thing in jeopardy they don't know what to expect they're saying that well how can the united states be trusted after you run after they pulled out of the iran deal that was negotiated four years they're saying how can the united states be trusted when they are saying that the libya model should be applied to north korea so right now again here we are being shown that they're being destroyed and north korea is saying that well the ball is in somebody else's court now and we've done of reporting from north korea pyongyang at a nuclear test site r.t. . ok to the middle east now where israel supreme. court has upheld the use of lethal military force against palestinian protesters in gaza earlier this month in the ruling judges also rejected the demonstrations have been peaceful calling

palestinians part of a armed conflict here's our mid east correspondent paula sleeper. well the supreme court has sided with the israeli military and blamed her most it says that israel is involved in a longstanding conflict with the militant group and as such is authorized to use lethal force now this has outraged human rights groups one of which tweeted that judges missed an opportunity to prevent further killings and injuries the israeli supreme court completely ignored the broad factual basis presented to it by the petitioners which includes multiple testimonies of wounded and reports of international organizations involved in documenting the killing and wounding of on protesters in gaza at least sixty two palestinians were killed in one day of violence and several hundreds were injured the the the. the of course the it was

the around the clock run over. the course. with the with the. the adding fuel to the fire is the fact that what has now emerged online are several videos that show israeli soldiers cheering as they fire. on. to the government. now human rights groups are not the only ones who are mad at israel the united

nations the european union france and germany have all cord for an independent investigation into israel. as use of force against what they say well and armed protesters. let's get reaction from. who is the chairman of the palestinian non governmental organizations network you're welcome to the program your thoughts first of all on the court's decision thank you. this is what we use this kind of decision is why the is red dog because system this is not the first to be on the signs of the military system against the civilians we have this many times and we are now we have very serious concerns about the lives of the civilians more and more since today we have demonstrations on the borders and pins of people who are in good. old this is and kind of encouragement in greenlighted the israeli. should be shooting to work the civilians not only

shooting also killing so. long the use of the regular beijing the court system and is very well from the side of the military system and this is not on the side of the international law so this is the time that the international community in order to be on the side of the palestinian civilians against such a good violations committed by the israeli court and israeli military israel insists that civilians are being used as part of an armed conflict that hamas is largely to blame for the deaths of civilians we see israel sustaining its attacks they're not backing down is there no responsibility as well for palestinian leaders to protect civilians rather than perhaps encourage them into danger as was suggested they are doing. that's why we are calling for independent investigation commission to come to gaza and to israel to visit the

gate on the different declaims. they palestinians and israelis and this is the boy why israel is refusing support of the american administration to send any kind of inquiry or investigation commissions to the policy to the theater it is to investigate on the different grave violations committed here we are going to feel who are saying that we have youth really in civil demonstrations in the border and what have been the who were killed there were civilians and we are who we are insist to continue this this is the real time for the international community again and begin to act to get kind of back accountability to words these to get a violations committed by the israelis in support of the dickel system in israel told all share we're seeing of course sorry for interrupting but we're seeing the march of return entering another week it's been going on for months and given how

deadly the previous ones have been the longer it continues is there not the risk of further death and injuries. we hope that the international community is not happy to see more blood. we are very sad of such things but the big question what we can do on such conditions the israeli blockade is continuing these are ignored as of the palestinian ignores and denial of their policy illegitimate rights is continuing so and and the time that the security council also rejecting the basic things going with the gate on such israeli violations of the policy of civil demonstrators what people of gaza can do you know gaza is boiling suffering from the poverty unemployment would insecurity and things are getting worse and whereas every second. has no medicine so what people can do to die in their beds or to go to demonstrate calling for their basically to rise this is the simple thing

that we are doing we're going to the borders but happy to see our children our of our you beautiful you dying but we are you know we are dying and our bit so we want to do it trying to screen to say that to the word please come and solve this problem and i'm just illegal blockade and this illegal occupation this is the simple things that we are calling for while we have you on the program just give us a sense because you are what is the atmosphere like there at the moment give us a sense. in the sense that people are very angry vibhu are very sad with it but we will you know what we do know what we can do with don't be militant don't use military. actions ok got to be civil with him before the ministrations now so this is the only thing that people are doing when we will do is to mislay sions we will went to the borders shot or killed

and what happened then no reaction from the international. from the international community to get in even the commission to investigate on such a grand know any kind of pressure to lift the blockade on gaza through the gaza strip is not a need for humanitarian sympathy or humanitarian aid gaza need for solutions to end this kind of legal gray violations committed by israel were calling for our little bit right for justice to end this illegal look at totally we are not just looking for a humanitarian. ending blockade we are not looking for a full ending of look at all right just to enter some kind of food here and there are two million palestinians are really suffering from such a chronic situation we have to leave there but thank you so much on job al shaab chairman of the palestinian non-governmental organizations network we thank you for coming on the program. live updates that come into being world leaders taking on

the world's big issues at the same petersburg economic forum it's a busy news day keep it here r.t. . global sell you on the idea that dropping bombs brings police to the chicken hawks forcing you to buy the battle. to stop for the tell you that will be gossip and probably. tell you. by product. of the hawks that we along. with one. manufacture consent to the public will. when the ruling classes protect themselves. with the famous merry go round.

we can all middle of the room sick. your back with our t. international the u.s. state department is calling on russia to admit that it was behind the dawning of flight m h seventeen over eastern ukraine in twenty fourteen now that comes after a string on the netherlands directly accused russia of involvement despite the fact the investigation is ongoing russia's foreign minister has already discussed the move with his dutch counterpart saying there is no evidence to pin the blame on moscow. i spoke to the dutch foreign minister he said that they have almost no doubts that the book came from russia i asked what evidence prove that but he

didn't give me any facts he told me they don't want russia to help the investigation which he explained with some baseless suspicions if we look to that statement from the netherlands and australia that what they've said is that they hold russia legally responsible for the deaths of the two hundred ninety eight people who were on board malaysian airlines flight m h seventeen on its way from to kuala lumpur when it was shot down when it went down over eastern ukraine an area that was. an area of particularly fierce fighting at the time in the conflict that was is ongoing there this was back in july of twenty fourteen australia in the netherlands have made that decision just stars the joint investigation team have released their latest findings so the j.i.t. they put forward the latest information they had on thursday in the netherlands and in that report they did say this they had no clear well

perpetrator or clear reason why the aircraft was targeted in the first place. the questions everyone wants answered from day one are why was flight m h seventeen should down and who was responsible for this appalling act i can't give you the answers to these specific questions to date well from the russian side the ministry of defense issued a lengthy rebuttal to the findings that the sent out on thursday the russian ministry of defense saying that it couldn't have been a russian missile because the missile casing that they show was part of the is that one of the main parts of evidence from the joint investigation team that's a type of missile the it was made in the moscow region back in one thousand nine hundred six and hasn't been in russia's military arsenal since twenty eleven these things out a fifteen year shelf life that can be x. . tended by an extra ten years to the maximum but anything built in eighty six in

russia's arsenal would have been destroyed back in twenty eleven they did go on to say that ukraine did have these things in their arsenal the russian ministry of defense also critical of the joint investigative teams findings the fact that a lot of it seem to be based on pictures from social media we want to draw to everyone's attention that the dutch investigators have ignored witness accounts many eyewitnesses saw the tragedy themselves they are not images from social media they are real people who gave their testimonies on record to the european and american media the head of the joint investigation team said that his investigation was entering its final stages however the more information we get from the j.i.t. the more questions seem to be thrown up. investigators concluded the aircraft was hit by a missile from a russian made. the manufacturer's own tests showed the missile type used was

decommissioned by the russian military years ago. russian investigators claim the missile was fired from a ukrainian held area moscow sent radar data to the netherlands production vesta going to say that information was in a format they couldn't analyze. the joint investigation team includes the netherlands belgium australia malaysia and ukraine. the body cooperates with other states but russia's only been allowed limited involvement. was quick to blame russia for the tragedy however the final report does not directly blame russia for the crash. investigators concluded the book was driven in from russia and returned across the border after them. that was based on intercepted telephone conversations witness statements photographs and videos posted on social media but the accuracy of such

evidence remains questionable. several mainstream media outlets and prominent politicians also didn't hesitate to pin the blame on russia even before the investigation reached any conclusions many reports used questionable evidence from amateur investigators like belling cat who used social networks and open internet sources to try and decipher what happened. the world's hot button topics have been thrashed eyes on stage at the same petersburg economic forum where about a mere putin was joined by other major leaders from from china as well as the head of the i.m.f. let's check in now with our tease who is on the north for a lot said on stage that he wasn't there to talk us through day to use that.

you didn't hello well friday's congress hall event is precious because rank one and rank two in one case politicians from such global powerhouses as russia france china and depend japan talked about everything there is to worry about and international politics today not behind closed doors donald trump said no to meeting cam and to the iranian nuclear deal and there you have it these most important piece thanks to the st petersburg economic forum are sitting shoulder to shoulder sharing their thoughts on it here's an observation all the speakers chose not to bash dolled up in the first place and came john as well for the rail moment of their talks and they said that they hoped that the summit preparations would get back on track specifically the chinese vice president even

made it clear that beijing won't allow war on the korean peninsula. to take i asked for the summit between north korea and the u.s. i think we have to do everything to make this summit happen so that many issues can be resolved. china hopes for peace and stability on the korean peninsula under no circumstances should we allow go to break out in the region that's why we should promote the process of demilitarization. well. when it comes to iran once again we were reassured by the st petersburg form that pretty much all of the international community apart from the u.s. and israel want the nuclear agreement to hold. and with those who do it should that we have to do everything possible to save the deal the us president hasn't closed the doors a negotiation he says he's dissatisfied with

a number of issues in the deal but he doesn't exclude talks with iran it's a two way road the door must remain open i think not all is lost. trump has lost the battle no one followed his decisions and now we have to make good on fulfilling our obligations. but if you surprising things were said as well emanuel mack a demented outloud that he believed the only reason why donald trump decided to leave the dream and it was because it was hammered out under the administration of his previous us are now vladimir putin and his turn said that the us president didn't lose from the exit a lot of our putin says that donald trump one in a sense that he delivered on his election promises when we talk about things like i mean countries like russia iran north korea one of the first words that comes up on your mind is sanctions and the moderator couldn't help mentioning

that some of the people that were sitting in the first rows of that congress hall wore under u.s. sanctions and vladimir putin wanted to elaborate on what's going on with this tactic of punishment around the world today and so he did. school of the situation is that everyone plays football but the use the rules of judo that's chaos that's where we're heading to sanction bludgeon is not only being used on russia. on friday when so many important guests got together they always wanted to praise the same petersburg international forum for being given the opportunity to share a common ground with with this kind of positive and laidback vibes we i guess were meant to expect some humor and so we did get some of it from

a lot of. the russians but you have any advice in the world in terms of how to deal with president trump because you were somebody who was. associated with the election of president term but i work with a provocator i've got nothing to do with trump's election campaign and you are not a national provoke a time. in the latest emanuel said that europe and the us have mutual obligations europe depends on the us in the room of security which you don't have to worry about that will help. you provide security. so day to has almost wrapped up but more from st petersburg coming up on saturday. and have a drink in st petersburg this hour thank you very much but we will continue to check in live as the second day of the forum wraps up hearing from delegates and

getting more updates from ilya on the deed or teen in st petersburg this is r.t. international. now some liverpool football supporters in kiev for saturday's champions league final have received less than a warm welcome ukrainian police grabbed an hunk of the bloody fun on thursday who had been attacked by must win against the capital r t correspond is across this he said disturbing images coming from kiev yes very disturbing and what we're seeing is a of course thousands of little full fans who've made their way to kiev in order to watch that champions league final to be held some more evening and

a number of them were enjoying dinner in the evening last night when they were set upon and actually we can see from some of the tweets of a journalist who was there at the site who describes those attackers as being masked men maybe about twenty of them wearing balaclavas and setting upon these liverpool fans who were just having dinner in a restaurant like a pack of dogs the journalists said that the attack was completely unprovoked those funds just minding their own business ahead of that big game tomorrow evening and saying that one of the victims was a fifty year old man who suffered cuts and bruises saying that all of the fans who were in the vicinity of the liverpool fans that is had to run away and we can also hear from some of the eyewitnesses themselves who saw what happened came it was like a pack of dogs it just kept coming it was terrifying i didn't come here for this i came to watch the football we were just having dinner they just stormed the place

they were throwing glasses and tables it was terrifying we did nothing wrong. now during the course of the run of the little fourteen to that final this isn't the first time liverpool fans have been attacked one man was left in a critical condition in hospital when italian fans from roma assaulted and beat up a number of liverpool fans in liverpool itself when the liverpool fans then went for the return game in rome that was heavy security now this incident hasn't stopped at least one media outlet blaming russia even though pictures a merge showing the attackers two of the attackers arrested the rest of them fled being hugh craney and t. shirts belonging to a key football team the paper that's a paper in spain associated to the city of madrid they said it was. of suspected russian origin and many people on twitter.
