you know most americans have no idea or so the mainstream media feels no pressure group through expose the illegality of what the united states is doing in yemen the illegalities of this atrocious war. eighty six palestinian demonstrators were injured in violence on the gaza border on friday it's the eighth week of anti occupation protests known as the great march of return when kurds were has been following events oh. oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh. oh oh oh. oh oh oh. oh oh oh 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 used against the palestinian protesters and sends the last the last death throes 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 really acting to these are rocks with live ammunition and i can clearly see that it's ready as night prayers and we can hear also the live ammunition 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 palestinians will continue to protest and want to give up on protesting. the israel defense forces defended their handling of the protesters they said in a tweet that the use of riot dispersal means and fire is in line with standard

procedures just hours before friday's demonstrated demonstrations the israel supreme court rejected a petition by human rights groups against the use of lethal military force targeting unarmed protesters in gaza and the ruling judges also rejected the idea that the demonstrations had been pays for claiming the situation amounts to an armed conflict against him us which israel sees as a terror group the decision has outraged the human rights groups these really supreme courts 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 unarmed protesters in gaza. since the protests began on march thirtieth israeli forces have killed at least one hundred palestinians the last.

letter by letter like that. of course that. oh. there. we used this kind of decisions by the it's a great job the system. beyond the signs of the military system against the civilians we have this many times and we are now we're we have video you see this concerns about the lives of the silliness more and more cold this is kind of encouragement and relighted the israeli. should be should think the worst in civilians not only should think 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 violations committed by the israeli. court and israeli military. still to come this hour test fun shellfish and waters off west coast america revealed the extent of prescription drug use in the u.s. but that story for you after the break.

twenty five years ago companies or go public as a way to expand their would be a viable corporation you have to meet certain criteria for being a viable corporation and then you're allowed to go public now there are no such criteria so if you're a socially burning through cash and going bankrupt you're using the public marketplace to bail out a losing position. welcome back that enough opioids in the waters off seattle on the west coast of america that shellfish there have tested positive for the drugs scientists say of it reflects the high number of people in the surrounding area who take the substance

but what we eat and what we excrete goes into the puget sound telling me that there's a lot of people taking up to code on and you know in the puget sound area it's coming likely from the wastewater treatment plants. consume are clean muscles were put into more than a dozen locations in puget sound three of them were later confirmed to be contaminated waste water management can't filter out the opioids the muscles are unable to metabolize the drugs but other sea life can and may become addicted this is the first time scientists have discovered the drugs in the local shellfish highlighting the extent of the nationwide opioid epidemic in the u.s. there has been more than two hundred thousand prescription overdose deaths in the u.s. since nine hundred ninety nine between that year and twenty sixteen overdose deaths have almost quadrupled six hundred fifty thousand opioid prescription drug dispensed daily policy research and anything else that overprescription is behind

the epidemic. the real problem is not that you can detect oxy code down and shellfish the real problem is that over exposing the united states to this highly addictive drug has led to an epidemic of opioid addiction and overdose deaths in the united states doctors are prescribing opioids for very common problems where opioids should not be prescribed these are good medicines for treating pain at the end of life there are good medicines when used for a couple of days after major surgery but the bulk of the prescribing the bulk of the consumption in the united states is for long term common problems where opioids are much more likely to harm patients than how patients if other countries increase prescribing the way we did in the united states i'm afraid that they will follow in our footsteps. the international economic climate forum in russia's northern capital have some petersburg wraps up today it puts together more than fifteen thousand business man investors and politicians on friday

a panel of world leaders from russia japan china and france discuss the main economic and political struggles of today it has more from me say. for instance number one congress hall event was precious because rank one and in one case rang to politicians from such a global powerhouse as france russia japan and china talked about everything is to worry about in international politics today not behind closed doors hot and cold donald trump at one point says no to his talks to kim and decides to ditch the iranian nuclear deal and there you have it the life of vladimir putin and emmanuel macros thanks to the st petersburg international economic forum are sitting shoulder to shoulder and sharing their thoughts on it here's

a taste of the highlights. sure that we have to do everything possible to save the deal the u.s. 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. so i couldn't change donald trump's decision on iran but at least outright explained that this agreement was signed using international effort i think that president trump has refused to sign the twenty fifteen agreement because it was initially signed by his predecessor as he thinks bad by definition. china hopes for peace and stability on the korean peninsula under no circumstances should we allow water breakout in the region that's why we should promote the process of demilitarization to it just a question 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. situation is that everyone plays football but they use the rules of judo that's chaos that's where we're heading to sanction bludgeon is not only being used on russia. but 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 president term but a provocator i've got nothing to do with trump selection campaign and you are not a national provoke a. decision. i believe in french foreign policy that is based on independence there are things that ties really closely to the u.s. like foreign security. emanuel said that europe and the u.s. have mutual obligations in europe depends on the u.s. in the realm of security but you don't have to worry about that it will help. who

provides security as journalists we are always how up the when the movers and shakers have so many things to say about what's going on around the world but the scene petersburg for me is originally about business so they three as that taught him to count all these digits on the many contracts that were signed here. as donald trump demands an investigation into the f.b.i. allegedly why it's happening him during his presidential election campaign left leaning journalists who traditionally criticize the intelligence agencies are now seemingly endorsing their role as american reports. when it comes to intelligence agencies like the cia f.b.i. n.s.a.

there's always been a certain segment of the american population that question not only their credibility but their legitimacy as well but seemingly as some of those who once stood firmly against the u.s. intelligence community have become its staunchest defenders now we have this meeting to investigate the investigators there has been demanded by the president of the united states who is just himself the subject of the investigation i think that's the kind of thing that republicans in particular ought to pay attention to rather than the notion of a deep state conspiracy of which there is no evidence for that it exists meet veteran journalists carl bernstein while working for the washington post first to expose president nixon's role in the watergate scandal that eventually forced him out of office but what most people don't know about bernstein is that he wasn't a big fan of the u.s. intelligence community to put it lightly his parents who were new dealers actively involved in the anti segregation movement were branded communists and bernstein

himself was under f.b.i. investigation after he left the washington post in seventy seven his interest in the questionable histories of these intelligence agencies proceeds and he started to look into the cia's suspiciously cozy relationship with the media and within a matter of months first scenes groundbreaking investigation into the cia's infiltration into the media world was published in the rolling stone but bernstein who at one time was targeted by the intel community nothing but president from attacks against the f.b.i. are destroying america we are seeing a breakdown i think we may look back on tonight as the monday night slaughter of the administration of justice in our institutions of justice for this formerly anti-establishment journalist who spent his entire career fighting the intel communities abuse of power trust presidency appears to have brought about a political one eighty and he's not alone. the american civil liberties union but once want every single one of the intel committees appeases support of the f.b.i.

says integrate trumps boyer's office we also believe in the rule of law as an essential foundation for civil liberties and civil rights in fact this love for the f.b.i. is pretty widespread among democrats their approval rating went up from sixty percent in twenty four tool to sixty nine percent in december two thousand and seven. i never thought that i would live to see a time when the so-called liberal democrats would be in the position of defending the us intelligence community the cia on the left it was reviled church countless crimes and around the world of the f.b.i. and the cia have been historically sources repression and oppression of people of color of people trying to educate for positive change on the left did the enemies of the left they always have been historically and they still are so what we have going on now with the trump investigation and robert mueller and this n.b.c.

constantly going on and on about the f.b.i. is a sacred institution fighting for truth justice and the american way what we have going on now is a classic example of the enemy of my enemy is my friend. thank you for choosing r.t. international feel saturday morning headlines we love to hear your thoughts on all of our stories side to get in touch by following us on social media we'll be back at the top of the hour with all the latest thing about. finding the next pope would find you know by the right you should know it's a dummy letter. oh so.

you know tell me really a comic book or con i gotta wonder if you don't i'm not going to go through what i got out that's going to. if we continue to discuss only about some amateurs of the maastricht. six spots and we don't we are not the book to give to the next generation and reason for that which to be proud to be utopian these is the reason all of us kept. fifty years ago breaking and we've been to a concert going on as a sleeping pill does this is what i believe because i like to just said that the side effects were terrible but not all known as short induction and full board.

war then boom boom up across europe victims are starting legal battles demanding at least some compensation. in two ways first will the physical damage itself as well that the concert mind that the people. cheaper to take this call it has never been called the justice and it has been a couple. of things. thank god from you i mean if you. are you ready to laugh but also be kind of depressed. over the agadir night comedy show where americans in america covering american news are called foreign agents congress congress has finally stood up to do something about the out of control policing in this country but before i get to that let's take

a moment to review the problem the issue just two days ago a video came out showing milwaukee police tasing a player sterling brown for the crime of parking in a handicap spot but he got off easy at the beginning of this month the police in our country have already killed four hundred people so far this year to give you something to compare that to in the years preceding april twenty sixth teen u.k. cobbs discharge their weapons seven times with three people killed seven. they had only fired or got seven times a year your average american got discharges their weapons seven dogs just open their beer can when the when the little metal tab breaks off you know ya gotta get the gun out. and then they fired three more times to celebrate once they get the very. near term yes our cops have killed over four on hundred

people so far this year and of the eleven hundred twenty seventeen killings officers were charged with the crime in only. thirteen one percent of all killings by police just one percent or even charged with anything it's basically open season on americans by our own police forces well over half of all these killings began with police responding to suspected nonviolent offenses or cases where no crime was reported in a little under half of the killings the victim didn't even have a gun and most of those who were completely unarmed and yet killed anyway were people of color so you see it's not that cops don't kill white people they kill tons of white people they kill more white people than wendy's baconator sandwich

are right but. no it's that the white people cops kill are more likely to be waving a gun around the black people are often not on average police recruits get eight hours of training on how to deescalate a situation they get fifty eight hours of training on how to shoot things. so it sounds like shooting things is about seven times more important than trying to avoid shooting things. i mean eight hours i got more than eight hours of training on how to put on a condom in sixth grade sex. which i guess could also be called gun safety training. granted that particular gun safety training was from the gym coach of doubled as our sex-ed j. jerk. i'm not kidding which by the way is one of those horrific experiences and the kid can go through life it up boys all right when you're gonna make someone

a pain and you found a female who wants to make the won't be with you you've got to put on an angler ok what you got it is ok to do and then inevitably the first question or one of the kid's college coach a how do we get. girl don't want to do that with us sean and if i do that i would be teaching praise be to prove to her brains all right i'll tell you the right to be a millionaire selling books on how to get laid all right. my dog learned how to play ball quicker than you stars does. anyone where was i oh yes deescalation if police did not kill people who were not posing a threat with a gun there would have been six hundred and thirty eight fewer deaths in twenty seven doing a fifty seven percent reduction but luckily we are in volved society we have

a lack good representative who's stand up for the people the voters right when something like this is happening and sure enough the house of representatives did indeed pass a bill the other day concerning police today and strong support of it or six nine eight the protect and serve act of twenty eighteen this important bill enhanced penalties for anyone who intentionally causes harm to our law enforcement officers yes enhanced penalties for anyone who intentionally causes harm to law enforcement officers. oh up until now it was legal the harm a law enforcement officer i had no idea seriously. seriously one problem is there is so very poor people just punching cops in the face and going ha ha you may not like it but it's well within my rights to be out of a job. yeah that's really been going on now i always take out

a problem at all as the intercepts said a couple of days ago the bills exemplify the very worst sort of legislation i once unnecessary and pernice shifts in defense of our lawmakers adult that does sound like the mission statement of congress. both the necessary and kurdish yes but the three hundred eighty five congresspeople who voted for that bill will quickly tell you there is no rash of ambush style attacks on police all rash i tell you said lee we've seen a recent rash increase in violence against officers especially in ambush style attacks that i am concerned. of the number of ambush shootings that we have seen this year the increasing levels of hostility towards the law enforcement community have given rise to an increase in ambush style attacks on

police officers yes an increase in ambush style attacks in two thousand and sixteen there were twenty one deaths of police officers from ambush attacks and then in two thousand and seventeen it skyrocketed to eight attacks. twenty one to eight killed by increase in amber style attacks human a decrease in amber style attacks. it is true that even a single officer getting killed is too many and therefore thank god thank goodness congress stood up and finally made a murdering police officers illegal you know her for too long of we all accepted that killing or assaulting police officers is five it is just what you just another tuesday right you go to the market get a ghost on us all the cop who dies in who dies in the protective service act sends a uniform message that our country will not tolerate attacks on police which

purposefully attempt to undermine the state so chaos in our communities and wreck the lives of many of our finest citizens and their families so chaos in our communities and wrecked the lives of our finest citizens and families boy that sure sounds like what police do took thousands of families for years. as professor alex vitale said in his book the end of policing felony arrests of any kind are a rarity for uniformed officers with most making no more than one year this is a big deal because it means most of what police do is stand around try. find people to harass for doing almost nothing wrong they're almost never fighting lex luthor al capone's running down the street with a car full of money from the heist you know that's not really going on that much

even when they're dressed up like they're you know get ready to fight darth vader there they're actually getting ready to assault some grannies for peace. or maybe some native americans who had the gall to want clean water or perhaps some black people who had the nerve to be black people. and if one black person calls another black person now they can be convicted of conspiracy to be black people. so if there's thousands of americans killed by police over the past decade about half of them not even holding a gun at the time of their murder and congress has done nothing about that why did congress just fall all over themselves to make assaulting police even more illegal as the intercept put it in our justice system blew lives are already considered to

matter the most which is why police appropriation of the call for black lives to matter is so sickening this would be like thousands of americans were dying each year from stomach parasites so then congress almost unanimously passed a bill is titled parasite lives matter and everybody as i always parasites were doing fine on their own they don't need more protection we need to heavily decrease and demilitarize our police forces we don't need guys with guns who know they're above the law running around everywhere we strike. we should switch to community empowerment and community policing where unless it's truly a. deadly situation you don't call the cops you don't invite into your neighborhood armed maniacs with a lazy afternoon of deescalation training under their belt. don't call the cops

because your neighbors music is to laugh out or you smell of marijuana or a farm animal wouldn't stop following you hold. yes this is true this week an ohio man who called the police on a literal pig that was following him. he thought the only people who can handle this situation are poorly trained dude with firearms. and yes i'm a tension only of voiding the hacky pigs called on a pig joke alright if you want that joke you can do it yourself you go your own closet when you do that job you don't get the joke here. how much you want to bet that the guy that called the cops on a pig is white because a white guy oh white guy figures cops will help him with that problem. but if a black man calls the cops for a way you word pig they're the below probably shoot him all right and then the next

day front page of the local paper with violent african american killed by police after stealing pry faragher company from washington d.c. the value of these was a. welcome welcome ugly campanella take the news from behind it as you may know google's longtime unofficial motto has been don't be evil. ever since their early days and although they changed it to do the right thing a couple years ago they kept don't be evil in the employee code of conduct but last

week it came out that google have quietly removed don't be evil. from even its code of conduct. and ironically this story hits a week after a dozen google employees quit because of the company's involvement in a military drone project and thousand more thousands more of their employees signed a petition against it so google is literally involved with killing people and for some reason also no longer wants don't be evil in their employee handbook. this is you know this reminds me of when viacom dropped their unofficial slogan don't intentionally give other employees eyeball herpes. they just didn't stand by it anymore or when nestle stop using their long time motto don't throw your infant daughter off a real way a bridge. they could not back that slogan any longer or when disney seized the use of their unofficial slogan if you murder some.
