through. the illegality of what the it's doing in yemen you know the truth or. 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 encourage every has been following events oh. oh oh oh. oh oh oh. oh oh. oh since the beginning of the great march of return on the thirtieth of march at least nine thousand palestinian protesters have been injured with live ammunition to gas canisters and other weapons that israeli forces have been using against 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. 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 not give up on protesting the israeli 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 demonstrations israel's supreme court

rejected a petition by human rights groups against the use of the lethal military force targeting unarmed protesters in gaza and the ruling judges also rejected the idea that the demonstrations have been paced full claiming the situation amounts to an armed conflict against her mouth 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. but not the only one to the level of the course that. the.

end of it does not know there's. nothing. there. we use this kind of decision by the as red door to the system. trying to humiliate the system against the civilians we have this many times and we are now we have video you see this concerns about the lives of the sea really more and more souls this is kind of encouragement in real life that the israeli sniper has shot the shooting to was the 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. and to most

those who come on r.t. international this hour tests on the shellfish in waters off the west coast america revealed the extent of prescription drug use in the u.s. i thought that story coming up after the fact. when lawmakers manufacture consent to instant public wealth. when the ruling classes protect themselves. with the financial merry go round the sun be the one percent. nor middle of the room six. 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 essentially burning through cash and going bankrupt or using a public marketplace to bail out a losing position. welcome back that are enough opioids in the waters off seattle on the west coast of america that shellfish have tested positive for drugs scientists say have reflects the high number of people in the surrounding area who take 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 in the you know in the puget sound area it's

coming likely from the wastewater treatment plants 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 addictive this is the first time scientists have discovered the drugs in shellfish there and believe it highlights the extent of the nationwide opioid epidemic in the u.s. there has been more than two hundred thousand prescription drug overdoses drug drug deaths in the u.s. since one thousand nine hundred ninety nine between that year on two thousand and sixteen overdose deaths have almost quadrupled six hundred fifty thousand opioid prescriptions are dispensed daily policy research me thinks that overprescription is behind the epidemic the real problem is not that you can detect oxy caught on in

shellfish the 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 help patients if other countries increase prescribe in the way we did in the united states i'm afraid that they will follow in our footsteps. the international economic forum in russia as northern capital of st petersburg wraps up today airport together more than fifteen thousand business men investors and politicians on friday a pile of world leaders from russia japan and france discussed the main economic

and political struggles of today if you're trying to has more. forum's number one congress hall event was precious because rank won in one case to politicians from such a global powerhouse as france russia japan and china talked about everything there 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 lattimer putin and many will macro 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 efforts 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. a lot china hopes for peace and stability on the korean peninsula under no circumstances should we allow water break out in the region that's why we should promote the process of demilitarization 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 credit 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 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 president term but a provocator i've got nothing to do with trump's election 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 which you don't have to worry about that it will help the . who provides security as journalists we are always happy 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 the digits on the many contracts that were signed here . as donald trump demands an investigation into the f.b.i. allegedly wiretapping him during his presidential election campaign left leaning journalists are traditionally criticize the intelligence agencies on now seemingly and dosing their role and similar economy. 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 questions not only their

credibility but their legitimacy as well but seemingly 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 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 seen 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 seat and he started to look into the cia's suspiciously cozy relationship with the media and within a matter of months bernstein's 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 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 that once want every single one of the intel to be subpoenaed says supported the f.b.i. says into raid 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 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 sure 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 of 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 is robert mueller and this n.b.c. constantly going on and on about the f.b.i. is a secret institution fighting for truth justice and the american way but we have going

on now is a classic example of the enemy of my enemy is my friend i saw the headlines for this hour we'll be back in thirty five minutes with the latest say that. flight for many flips over the years so i know the guy even so i got it. football isn't only about what happens on the pitch pull the funnel school it's about the passion from the fans it's the age of the super money just kill the narrowness and

spend the student twenty million and one player. it's an experience like nothing else going to because i want to share what i think what i know about the beautiful guy a great so will more chance for. the base minute. q. l.

time after time here we're going underground as vladimir putin hosts talks with japanese prime minister shinzo our ben moscow coming up on the show the italian job or italian job so s. c.e. representative and former italian foreign minister franco frattini on whether it's really is next to leave the european union as italy's new prime minister is set to help the unemployed and why has the high court granted a challenge to the government over regulation of the media we speak to the alleged con man who says he was interested by the murdoch sunday times to target everyone from the chancellor of the exchequer to the boss of u.k. spy agency m i six plus as the world faces its worst refugee crisis since world war two the chelsea flower show in london tries to undo some of the legacy of tony blair's war in iraq all the support coming up in today's going underground but first the pentagon may be the biggest employer in the world and perhaps took heart from donald trump's cancellation of june's historic singapore meeting that might have gone some way to mitigate the killing of twenty percent of korea's population

by the usa and u.k. but it's closely followed by the chinese people's liberation army walmart mcdonald's and britain's n.h.s. this week u.k. labor leader jeremy corbyn accuse minority government needed to raise or may have trashing europe's largest employer for privatized profiteering the national audit office criticised n.h.s. england's capita contract saying and i quote put patients out risk of serious harm corbet allege that thousands have been dropped from the national cervical cancer screening program and two thirds of all general practice doctors are received in correct medical records from privatized contractors to raise them a said. she was committed to the n.h.s. seventy years since it was created by a labor government we have to ensure that we remain true to the founding principles of the n.h.s. but is free at the point of the never presumably she wasn't referring to u.k. judges for medicine corbin wasn't convinced from the party that opposed the n.h.s.

in the first place. was. far too much noise on both sides of the house twice in two weeks the speaker that was of commons himself under attack in u.k. mainstream media had to intervene as labor leader called and tried to ask questions of the prime minister and this time it was before the prank phone call to boris johnson revealing the foreign secretaries interest in tying corben to vladimir putin the pm though tied corbin to another vladimir lenin they want to overthrow capitalism was that it would mean finally. going to support it was. now we know when they say very early stein on this issue yesterday's m a says the party which extrapolating from the most recent election results would have a majority of m.p.'s in the british parliament wants to overthrow capitalism in

effect she appeared to say the british people support its overthrow or certainly in italy party is not happy with your liberal capitalism have been on a roll this week just happy conte who is on the record as saying twentieth century ideological schemes are no longer adequate has been named prime minister for more we're joined from rome by italy's former foreign minister now s c special representative franco frattini thanks so much africa for cheney for coming back on the show so who is italy's new prime minister do sepic on to just up the culture is a professor you need birth florence is a professor in c.v. lol he has been making a study this. also abroad not only in italy any used to be dubai stress event of the superior council of a minister p. judy sherry so all he has some institution or experience to not only an

academic when your old boss prime minister berlusconi says that forza italia will vote against this coalition what did you make of that yell yes apparently dalia decided to vote against old all someone to force a tally of people including mr boat as corning already said if there would be some proposals corresponding to the center right program devil and gold in favor and of course the lego is allow layer of mr berlusconi is the problem for him and his body the seventeen billion euro oh five star policy for youth unemployment in italy well it is but on debt five star electoral problem words focusing mainly on

unemployment used occupation and maybe in point of early helping younger generation to get a legal job while not only was mainly focusing on security illegal migration polity policy rule of law will you know donald trump strategist steve bannon spoke this week saying that it's a bit like a coalition between bernie sanders and donald trump. because of the truth in that and no i don't i don't agree it is an excessive definition of what is the charge and government there are some points where of course five stars is more troll lefty's oriented while the delete is more rightist oriented byte by id end i'm sure there will be able to find a come

a compromise i you'll or my country out of this that will happen but of course it's what the banks are saying around the world what your chord younger and antonio to johnny will be looking at the coalition plan if it really means fifty billion euros of tax cuts the leg of policy seventeen billion euros for the poor pension reform maybe costing i don't know fifteen billion euro that pushes italy over the three percent g.d.p. deficit e.u. rule of sure you've looked at those calculations to what do you make of it yeah i'm sure first of all tress is that much or as our president our jolly republican leader will be closely monitoring the implementation of the program and also from the very beginning the i would see initiative undertaken by the government of professor i'm also sure you know what professor qantas said

where does the nation came in a clear knowledge balance it will be kept as a principle so keeping your. path for. funny that because prime minister contests before he was named prime minister used to say things very much against the european union now he seems worse off and meanwhile do you think it's sensible that the european commission just as content was softening the stance arguably tells italy it needs more austerity. that's what earlier this week well it is up saluted enough to pre-heat to kenya's li ask for more austerity for rigidity gives is exactly the opposite of what is necessary not all if for each only afford a majority of european member states nettie's primordial grolsch

creating jobs i don't agree with all dollars messages coming from brussels i agree with the messages coming from brussels stressing that european commission is the guardian of the treaties so all the member states including italy have to respect these is fine but please don't say always every mean you austerity austerity a stary the disease what inflames era skepticism not only immediately if you're good doesn't listen to you does that make it inevitable italy will leave the european union no is not possible it has and i think of all italy will be no one will be strong members in the european union in next years but having a very clear idea what is in the interest of italia each audio and

took her a nurse italia and a younger generation how could we warrant you nor did to make it possible that italian interests coincides with european interests i'm sure you're aware of the so-called scaremongering before the brics it vote here but is it your understanding that given italian borrowing on the bond markets it could not function if italy left the european union given the e.u. interest. auntie's well i hope still you don't is not only one of the beatle artists but deserves shoe port in order to have a good ol send jobs not the norm but in order to keep distance from brussels these are exactly the exercise we ask for by the grassroots you're speaking to me from the italian capital how sick and tired of the italian public of so-called socialist

and so-called neo liberal parties duras need to only now devon would be sound kind of opposition in the parliament but i don't see really a very strong a position it need to lead from a socialist and purely liberal party's dairies an opposition which is represented by a force they tell you that part your problem in the former prime minister berlusconi dairies the opposition of democratic party led by mr mudge there rancy but i don't see yet clear a long term not cheap governmental policy against its new chorley sham led by if i start an elite if we leave renzi to one side vitally what role does forza italia have to play or is it just and it adequate twentieth century

ideology promoter as quanta may speak of it i mean even with media sets media power in italy for their italia didn't do well did it there well i think delaware some phenomenal in the recent past people where very much for straight up because of that christ's unemployment reached higher levels despite some. methe forwards from the outgoing italian government deals was that the origin of the political crisis that led to the result of five stars and a leak those parties could be defined as cost ideal logical political movements but nevertheless we do need it traditional political parties the liberals the socialist the christian democrats they could

be i would say important to contributions to do it is on the new parliament and so i think it does is the reason why the ruling majority will have to confront is stronger position otherwise there would be and balance situation to the detriment of italy as a whole frank overtaking thank you thank you very much after the break we speak to a former purveyor of fleet street notorious dark arts john ford an alleged con man for the murdoch sunday times turned leveson inquiry whistleblower and aware of all the flowers gone the moment she trusted exhibits at the garden of the chelsea flower show in london aiming to alleviate the effects of britain's bombing of iraq all the more coming up odd to have going on the ground.
