when a tree falls against palestinians during this month's deadly clashes along the gaza border. this is r.t. international's news at ten my from moscow with me kevin and thanks for chatting to us first then donald trump's now hinting that a meeting with kim jong un could still take place the shot comes less than twenty four hours after the u.s. president called off the summit with the north korean leader they should have been shadowed for june in singapore. we'll see what happens. with that they very much want to do it we'd like to see what. everybody plays you know that you know that better than anybody. well the world
3:02 pm
continues to come to terms with donald trump's unpredictability and just a day after he announced of the historic summit in which he would meet with kim jong un in singapore was called off well now he seems to be hinting that it may be back on the table so what changed his mind once again what appears to have been a statement made by north korea in which they said they were still open to meeting and sitting down with the united states at any time now seems particularly sensitive to these statements from north korea his previous decision to cancel the summit was also based on a statement from north korea this is donald trump 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 north korea had jumped on mike pence the vice president of the united states and called him a political dummy and that was after he had invoked libya and the toppling of the
3:03 pm
libyan government in two thousand and eleven as a possible outcome or strategy for the talks you know in addition to statements north korea has actually released three american prisoners and they've actually gone as far as to blow up their only nuclear test site however it seems that for donald trump words speak louder than actions some people are looking on this and saying that maybe something deeper is going on beneath the surface here perhaps this is what you might call a psychological tactic of attrition donald trump did after all right the art of the deal and it seems like he might be playing hardball in the lead up to a potential meeting or no potential meeting with north korea a lot of unpredictability on the part of the president of united states people wonder what the all. that outcome will be but it seems like only donald trump really knows what's going to happen next who knows what he's up to i'd suspect least of all donald trump knows what he's about i mean this is somebody who jumped into that meeting first of all quicker than a ferret supper drainpipe there is no policy behind it this is somebody who is into
3:04 pm
making headlines and appeasing the base and yesterday that needs to not go down well with his base supporters that he had pulled out of this meeting he'd always seen it as a chance to make peace on the korean peninsula which would be world breaking history and i think you saw yesterday who saw all of that dissolving what we're seeing is a huge naivety in the current american administration when it comes to foreign policy making the north koreans they would want these talks they want to hold their cards close they definitely want to sit down at the table but they want to see what the americans beyond donald trump have to offer whether the sanctions can be lifted whether it brings them closer to the global community well dramatic pictures next the first pictures showing the destruction of north korea's only nuclear test site have been released our correspondent he goes down offers among the very small pool of journalists invited along personally to witness that facility being
3:05 pm
decommissioned and this is what he said back. just minutes ago 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 but 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
3:06 pm
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. . here in russia the world's top hot button topics have been thrashed out earlier
3:07 pm
on at the same petersburg economic forum where president putin was joined by other major leaders from france japan and china as well as the head of the i.m.f. . some of the highlights of the day. friday's main congress hall event was truly precious in a sense that rank one and in one case rank two politicians from such an important goal powerhouses as france russia japan and china talked about everything there is to worry about in international politics today not behind closed doors at some point donald trump who's hot and cold decides to say no to his talks with kim and decides to ditch the are a need nuclear deal and there you have it thanks to the st petersburg international economic forum the likes of emanuel macron and lattimer putin are sitting shoulder to shoulder and sharing their thoughts about it with everyone here's an observation
3:08 pm
all speakers decided not to bash donald trump in the first place or kim john known for the possible to rail moment of their talks and expressed hopes that the summit preparations can go back on track the vice president of china even made it clear that his country won't allow war on the korean peninsula. i'm not trying to hope for peace and stability on the korean peninsula under no circumstances should we allow will to break out in the region that's why we should promote the process of demilitarization to stick i asked for the summit between north korea and the us i think we have to do everything to make this summit happen so that many issues can be resolved speaking of iran we were once again reassured that pretty much the entire international community apart from the u.s. and israel once the nuclear agreement to hold and we're going to do it sure that we have to do everything possible to save the deal the us president hasn't closed the
3:09 pm
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 bathroom. no one followed his decisions and then we have to make good on fulfilling our obligations. while also there were a few surprising things said for example emanuel macron openly admitted that he believes the only reason donald trump decided to leave the nuclear agreement was because it was hammered out under the administration of his predecessor now of lattimer putin in his turn said that the us president didn't lose from the exit rather mr putin says he won in a sense that donald trump delivered on his election promises now one of the first words that comes up on your mind when you hear countries like iran russia and north korea is sanctions and the moderator of the panel discussion couldn't help
3:10 pm
mentioning that some of the people from the front row wore under u.s. sanctions currently vladimir putin wanted to allow on what's going on around the world with this particular punishment tactic and so he did go out of its students the situation is that everyone plays football but the use the rules of judo that's chaos that's where we're heading to the sanction bludgeon is not only being used on russia. broad day one and day two so many guests most importantly divvy praised the st petersburg event for the opportunity to come together and try to find common ground in these kind of positive and laid back vibes i guess we should have expected some humor so there's a couple of moments when the audience did start to giggle but do you have any advice of the world in terms of how to deal with president trump because you were somebody who was. associated with the election of a president term but i work
3:11 pm
a provocator i've got nothing to do with translocation campaign and you are not a natural. i believe in french foreign policy that's based on independents there are things that really tires very closely to the u.s. like foreign security. emanuel said that europe and the u.s. have mutual obligations europe depends on the u.s. in the realm of security but you don't have to worry about that will help. to provide security. they too has officially wrapped up but still there is more to come on saturday the international economic forum is welcome fifteen thousand participants from seventy two countries and there are more than a thousand companies and organizations represented there with almost two hundred fifty c.e.o.'s the organizers replays the turn watching across all the nearly four thousand journalists all covering developments in st petersburg we caught up with one delegate at the forum who is investing in russia's aerospace industry. you know
3:12 pm
what russia is an aerospace leader that has developed so many different types of platforms whether it was fixed wing or right that he wing and we believe that these opportunities were there spec to interest research and form a very exciting and exciting new shrink with respect to iraq space manufacturers but also made to disappear in overalls service providers we have a joint there is through swarthy team as much as we have other working teams that are looking for opportunities of cost kind of addition but also cross investments not just with respect to investments coming into russia but also investments that could come into the united out of hundreds we believe that are rich with benefits for both sides of the equation and we're looking forward to engaging further in finding those opportunities that could bring positive contributions that returns to both of our societies.
3:13 pm
thousands of palestinians gathered along the gaza border friday and what's the eighth week now of anti occupation protest known as the great march of return more than a hundred protesters have been killed by israeli forces since they began in code responding following the latest events in gaza. since the beginning of the great march of return on the thirtieth of marked at least nine thousand palestinian protesters have been injured with live ammunition tear gas canisters and other weapons that israeli forces have been using against the palestinian protesters and sends the last the last death toll of today is one hundred fifteen palestinian protesters were killed as you see tensions are rising the palestinian protesters are throwing rocks and the israeli forces are i re acting to these are rocks with live ammunition and i can clearly see that it's ready as night prayers and we can
3:14 pm
hear also the live ammunition and they're stationed right here we can see like at least eight there israeli soldiers who were trying to walk towards the fence there are also other ambulances here ready to take any injury it's very obvious that's ballasting us will continue to protest and want to give up on protesting this really defense forces of defended their handling of protesters in cars or on friday is the latest saying in a tweet that the use of royal dispersal means and fire is in line with standard procedures just hours before friday's demonstrations in israel supreme court rejected a petition by human rights groups against the use of lethal military force targeting palestinian protesters in gaza in the ruling judges also rejected the demonstrators had been peaceful calling palestinians part of an armed conflict with more of a middle east correspondent paula slayers. well the supreme court has sided with
3:15 pm
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 it was the.
3:16 pm
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. over the crowd. 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. yes use of force against what they say what an armed
3:17 pm
protesters we use this kind of decision is why the is read article system this is not the first time to be on the side of the military system against the civilians we have this many times and we are now we're we have a very serious concerns about the lives of the severely is more and more. this is an kind of encouragement in greenlighted the israeli. should be shooting towards the civilians not only shooting also killing so this is the time that the international community in order to be on the side of the palestinian civilians against such a good a violation is committed by the israeli court and israeli military. the u.s. state department is calling on russia russia to admit that it was behind the downing of flight m h seventeen over eastern ukraine in twenty fourteen it's after a stray in the netherlands directly accused russia of involvement despite the fact
3:18 pm
the investigation is still ongoing russia's foreign minister discussed that with his dutch counterpart earlier saying there's 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 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
3:19 pm
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 today well from the russian side the ministry of defense issued a lengthy rebuttal to the findings that. 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 yelled that was made in the moscow region back in one thousand
3:20 pm
nine hundred six and hasn't been in russia's military arsenal since twenty eleven these things have a fifteen year shelf life that can be. 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 charity
3:21 pm
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 investigators say that information was in a format they couldn't analyze. from. 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.
3:22 pm
investigators concluded the book was driven in from russia and returned across the border after them. and 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 b.b.c. is being accused of breaching its own guidelines and wholly inaccurate reporting

greater manchester police in northwest england slammed britain's national broadcaster after it aired a documentary about the manchester arena terror attack the programme a show last tuesday on the first anniversary of the bombing and there's been a suicide bomber detonated explosives as people were leaving that manchester arena after a concert by american pop star ariana grande twenty two people were killed and thirty nine injured it was the deadliest terror attack in britain since two thousand and five idea or two to. the b.b.c. documentary about the devastating terror attack on the manchester arena has been praised for showing the courageousness of the survivors but the broadcasters inside has left the u.k. police furious greater manchester police chief has issued an open letter condemning what he calls wholly inaccurate reporting and the strongly worded statement has even accused the b.b.c. of breaching its own guidelines the programme at least by inference wrongly
3:24 pm
suggested that g.m.p. officers and staff were held back on the night of the attack this is untrue and has no more until attack on g.m.p. police officers who as the actual footage showed bravely in response to this horrific attack the police did not specify exactly which fragments of the b.b.c. film they believe misrepresented their response on the night of the tragedy however the documentary does contain a lot of interviews with victims who were left frustrated by the police in action here very. very large force of policeman come in but not really any of them will help and they were there to. just secure the premises. police officers with guns pointed towards me had said was that the council to try and save lives was literally going on when you just remember and when we can't i could see it was in their decision. of course airing criticism isn't an issue as long as manchester police can give their side of the story the catch is they can't do that during an
3:25 pm
active investigation the b.b.c. production team were made aware of this but when manchester authorities saw how the film showed their lack of comments they were far from happy the reference at the end of the programme the g.m.p. refused to cooperate wholly misleading and was focused only on creating journalistic drama the b.b.c. insists that they did report on the situation on manchester police accurately and say that the caption on the screen only said greater manchester police declined to take part in this film which they say is factually accurate the b.b.c. actually say that it is the chief constables letter that is accurate defending their decision to include those criticisms claiming that they fully adhere to the b.b.c. editorial guidelines this was a responsible accurate and thoughtful documentary which was an important piece of public service broadcasting however as this very public disagreement unfolds
3:26 pm
according to one former police officer there's good reason for g.m. p.s. response to the treatment that this is perhaps it may seem harsh but the priority for the put forward place is to try to close the perpetrators and anybody associated with them i think the reason that the police disengaged from friendly conversation in the formation of this film was that they sensed the it was going to be prejudicial to the general good it's very easy to criticize with the wisdom of hindsight but there are actually doing it you know for the purposes of the public good and to try to keep our syphon arrests people that are doing dangerous or we could things with the battle over who's right and who's wrong likely to continue it's certain that the run between britain's main broadcaster and law enforcement was not the effect a documentary remembering a tragic event intended to have the dealer to to r.t. . on the news tonight some liverpool football supporters in kiev for saturday's
3:27 pm
