a right i'm a guy who can really i think i really believe that. hope people working at the exist already you know they're. lying israel. they can see where i was where those children were coming in one by one them without legs they can see i don't. know i think they would walk away in the street. four and a half thousand pairs of shoes have been laid out in front of the e.u. council building a head of a meeting of the blocs foreign ministers each path is meant to represent a palestinian killed by israeli forces over the last decade. over a thousand of them symbolized children and i brought the shoes of my daughter as well. just to show that i'm standing with those fathers the smothers brothers the sisters who lost their children and their siblings in this war. that's

why we also calling on the european union say enough is enough until you know you have to put sanctions on israel show them. that by the test the. israeli army has repeatedly stressed that it's acting in accordance with standard operating procedure and accused hamas of fueling the riots political analyst michel barak says that israel has every right to protect its borders the ones that were killed were close to the border they were either throwing molotov cocktails throwing stones shooting trying to do whatever they could to break through the border fence in order to kill israeli citizens please don't call them protesters we don't care how old they are if hamas is willing to put up teenagers or others that are young or old or elderly even in order to break through the israeli border the israeli army will stop them that's reasonable the fact that there have been countries that have condemned israel i will say so what every country needs to protect their

border every country needs to protect their citizens. despite the growing tensions israel is expected to ignore e.u. cool's not to demolish a bedouin village on palestinian territory israel argues that the village was built without permission. that it's the only school here there are no others i can go to jericho as traffic is so having if they come and task all down i'll study saying on the ground. and on other matters if they tear the houses down brick the school and people will

stay here the same as bedouin spend most of their lives out in the sun israel is targeting not only this settlement but to the east of jerusalem the. news that the british government sets aside money for the upcoming e.u. parliamentary elections as briggs supporters claiming that there's a secret bid to keep the country in the bloc but officials claim the money is only there in case of emergency it's a precautionary measure so that we have the necessary funds to deliver functions as a european parliamentary election in the unlikely event that they do go ahead. elections for the european parliament will take place next may two months after the date when the u.k. supposed to walk through the e.u. has exit doors and that has raised concerns among euro skeptics about why the u.k.

is put aside eight hundred thousand pounds for those elections more than half of the people who voted chose brigs it in june of two thousand and sixteen goshi asians between london and brussels over the terms of that divorce began last year they're still ongoing the major stumbling block remains the irish border or this still no solution that satisfies all sides the e.u. says it wants more clear proposals from the british pm. we want to membership partnership with the united kingdom but for that we need realistic proposals from the u.k. and it cannot be a game of hide and seek a downing street spokesperson said the trees may simply try to get the best possible deal that would satisfy both sides meanwhile you keep m.e.p.a. margot parker believes that british people are growing frustrated at just how long it's taking the government to find a solution. the british people have voted for this referendum have full expectancy to leave we're frustrated with our government being so slow in their negotiations

you know we we find it very annoying very upsetting that they seem to be so slow every time i think they've come to brussels brussels perhaps ask for something more and i'm afraid our government appear to be full of capitulation and they appear not not to be putting the british people first think this is a load of nonsense and i think if you were to put this back two years and say that would be at this position people would say can't be so they need to sort themselves out but i do think the british public are getting very very fed up with this lack of moving forward. in the terrible who. are in the sixteenth century still making headlines today of painting a film that hangs in a gallery was vandalized by a visitor who claims that it falsifies the past. i

came to see the painting i wanted to leave but then dropped into the bath ate and drank one hundred grams of what gap. between using has no bones hussan and yet it's still unclear whether he killed his son he's been portrayed as this all to ban in place you look at other countries rule is at the time there were no bets a. lot

more news in just a moment. it's. what politicians do something. they put themselves on the line they get accepted or

rejected. so when you want to be president i'm sure. somehow i want to. let you go right to be for us this is what will make for three of the more people. interested always in the logs of our. first six. journalist attack to the twenty sixty neo nazi rally in sacramento says the local police tried to file false charges because of his political views he claims that he wanted to film the protests which then turned violent leaving ten people injured.

so rick o'bannon is a long time activist against racism and police brutality he was seriously injured while filming the sacramento protest the activist claims all the evidence he had on his camera including images of the attacker was raised by the police a ban and also says police did very little to protect him from being stabbed place in turn claim the activist was fuelling the threats by raising his fists in the air is a symbol of black power and they had wanted to charge him with assault they also say the activist was promoting extremist views on social media so to go ban and claims

that the charges didn't come to fruition as the evidence didn't back up the claims and he told us why he thought that he was targeted this is a problem with racism that america you know all this is why somebody like the president the united states will get our he is it's you know there's a part of it by the examples it's true. it's not a really absolutely claim by us it's the same is a. list that allows this situation there's a get it easily. i could see his wife last with all sympathies you will eat all the. good it was hoped. was that we were the little. too little my eyes are out and all of us. we've asked the police to elaborate on their allegations against the banon but so

far we've not received a response this isn't the first time though black activists have found themselves on the wrong side of the lot rakim baldwin was prosecuted as a black identity extremist he was arrested for political views expressed in facebook post under harris was charged with unlawful wounding after he was beaten up by white supremacists. there are growing suspicions that the united states is prepared an indictment against wiki leaks founder julian assange or sheehan has for years refused to officially confirm or deny whether it had done so democrat congressman adam schiff a leader of one of the investigations into alleged russian meddling in the u.s. has said that he would accept testimony from a science but only if the whistleblower is in custody that's after a silence reportedly sought an audience with shift to prove his innocence you have joined us i was willing to speak to actually yesterday yes he told me when might

this year end of the end why does join a side want to do that because well he's ready to show that there is no collusion but in a tweet wiki leaks denied its founder it ever made such an offer adding a songe quote does not speak to the public through third parties it was randy credico the man behind the story who insists that he was contacted by some of them wiki leaks when they found out that he was going to meet shift. i met him at the white house correspondents dinner and said he'd like to talk to me privately i said sure off the record so people who are associated with wiki leaks got wind of that and all they did was give me a simple message that if mr shift which like to interview mr a sauna he would welcome that that's all i do not speak for wiki leaks i do not speak for julian assange all i did was deliver that message. in a song sounds being

a longstanding nuisance for the u.s. since the foundation of wiki leaks in two thousand and six it's published thousands of documents exposing u.s. officials diplomats the army and the intelligence services and over the years top u.s. officials of not. when it's come to a sense this guy is a traitor a treasonous and he has broken every law the united states the guy ought to be and i'm not for the death penalty so if i'm not for the death penalty i want to do it illegally shoot the son of a. man as a terrorist you can act tough and say if we catch you we're going to hang you whatever wiki leaks walks like a hostile intelligence service and talks like a hostile intelligence service ignorance or misplaced idealism is no longer an acceptable excuse for lionizing these demons randy credico again says the whole case against the song goes against the first amendment. this is a first amendment case chilliness science is protected by the first amendment that's the reason why we have a first amendment to protect the press he's

a publisher and he is an editor and he is a journalist they didn't like what he had to publish that's the reason why the u.s. is serious about extraditing and charging julian a songe the u.s. will bring them over to this country and then they will put him in a supermax and get a kangaroo trial court and that would be it for him for the rest of his life. europe is making last ditch efforts to save the iran nuclear deal during a meeting of the blocks foreign ministers in brussels officials are promising a number of measures to shield european companies from u.s. sanctions but as artie's and it's a separate report now washington seems to have the upper hand. it took twelve years of international diplomacy to reach a nuclear deal that trump decided to tear up and now you are pissed left are vowing to protect economic ties with iran from renewed u.s. sanctions we've been acting already i do european union level to make sure that the

nuclear agreement is preserved and people make investments from beginning to end side but also from other sites in the world so our protected it is and we will work so that we can maintain the framework of the twenty fifteen points of the american decision we will ensure that our companies can stay in. business leaders however have struck more of a pessimistic note the c.e.o. of all giant total is ready to pull out of a multi-billion dollar project and less given away for it's not possible to run the global company in this world today we've just. as a us system that's all of us all here if you have the world and other european companies accosting major doubts as a primacy of political system and if your premise is that this is what you're going to do that's exactly what you're going to do they you house decided to activate a law that will ban european companies from complying with the u.s. actions against iran but there's

a snag the statute has never been used before and this seen by european governments as more of a political weapon than a regulation because this was a difficult to enforce. indeed the e.u. blocking regulation could be of limited effectiveness that given the international nature of the banking system and especially the exposure of large systemic banks to the u.s. financial system and u.s. dollar transactions history has taught us the transplanting partnership has been strengthened by cooperation of trade defense and shared values but in this current crisis and mission needs to be taken even if the european union would act to protect european companies. want to continue to do business review iran they cannot really prevent the united states to sanction them on the american markets they don't want to push to berlin meet of a trade war with the european union member states be strong enough that we have

a pretty good a real to really decide the countermeasure us rich bite united states we are not so far in your position to do this while the e.u. scrambles to save the nuclear dale this hasn't gone unnoticed by tehran which is ramping up the pressure these political support for the nuclear court is not sufficient there nonsupport of the possible withdrawal by major european companies from a corporation with iran is not consistent with the european union's commitment to implementing the deal as it currently stands syrup is talking tough on doing business without the u.s. but can the bloc really stand alone when the time comes to act only for the latest news at the top of the hour.

fifty years ago britain and women to come together as a sleeping pill. does. the scientific sweat terrible but not on the road. here nor the war. across europe victims are still waiting legal battles demanding at least some compensation in two ways first will the physical damage itself as well that the constant mind that the people who actually perpetrate this crime has never been able to justice and there's been a couple. of financial for a long shot today with all the money laundering first to visit this cash into three different. oh good that's a good start well we have our three banks all set up here maybe something in your something in america something overseas in the cayman islands or do we do all these banks are complicit in their kleptocracy we just have to give him

a call and say hey i'm ready to do some serious money laundering ok let's see how we did while we've got all got a nice luxury watch for max and for stacy own beautiful jewelry and how about. luxury automobile again for max you know what money laundering is highly illegal don't be a close watch guys of course. hello and welcome to crossfire where all things are considered i'm peter lavelle at the moment it is anyone's guess where the korean negotiations stand again donald trump is the wildcard also is the u.s. isolating itself on the world stage.

cross talking the korean peninsula i'm joined by my guest mark sloboda he's an international affairs and security analyst we also have dimitri bobbitt she's a political analyst international and we cross to alex christian forum is the director and writer for the duran dot com hi gentlemen crosstalk rules in effect that means you can jump into any time you want i always appreciate alex let me go to you first then cyprus here i sent out to all you guys an article written by ray mcgovern. regarding what's going on with the on and off again in the negotiations about this upcoming summit in singapore. what's really happening here because it looks like it's we really have a love fest i don't think that's an exaggeration with the koreans right now we had a second summit secretly. coming together then released to the press goes out there now he says maybe he's back in what's going on is that john bolton the fact is they

might pump a you know is there a tug of war do you think inside the white house because the koreans seem to have a lot of commonality at the at this moment yeah absolutely i think that it all comes down to my. bringing up the libya card why they had to. anyone's guess but obviously we know what happened in libya where. there are there when this. and then ten years later probably ten years later the u.s. and nato dismantled entirely the state and now the country is in shambles and so you know when you when you look at north korea's response to what it said it was actually pretty measure chimp didn't respond at all. korea responded. and i believe they were funded properly because libya is a sensitive topic especially with north korea and the fact they're going to give up their weapons at any rate to defense that they have so i think what you have here is a very poorly. timed statement by parents and of course bolted and i think you're

seeing both in the both in effect for sure here in the trunk foreign policy you know month when you bring up the libya model there's actually two of them and i think this is one good problems that the administration is having one was an agreement to take apart their nuclear program and a general reproach moment with with the west and then you have the two thousand and eleven bombing in destruction i don't i don't think you can separate them well though because although certainly they're not separated in the minds of the north korea of anyone i don't think because they're first of all libya did not have nuclear weapons north korea is a nuclear armed state these are vastly different scenarios and north korea demands to be treated as they are as i did how i got to the table libya had a nuclear program that really had make any advances they didn't have the resources or the the scientific expertise to really pursue it they gave up everything really

in just returned from goodwill from the west and several years later the result of that and their government was bombed out of power and overthrown and gadhafi was brutally killed in fact ian bremmer the head of the eurasia group put out a he has an orca called jeezy labs that makes little cute puppet shows that. since political messages and the latest one quite tasteless and really disturbing had kimmel giong. having nightmares of waking up like being brutalized raped and then murdered by rebels and that of course is the message that was sent to north korea the reason john bolton said this is because he intended to sabotage the glocks. it was easy we identified it early on that he was one of the biggest obstacles to these talks and any progress being made and he would have a target and a trumpet that you have you have

a pump a and it's actually secretary of state right now he was there before he was even confirm to start moving the go she said so and he's butting heads it would seem with john bolton well it's true and it's just amazing how trump says i had to cancel this meeting because of your hostile statement. to no one well i mean if i knew on late host of statements it was mike pence who compared korea to libya and if any of our should have nightmares this should be sarkozy you know the former french president who is now accused by the french justice of taking money from gadhafi using them for his campaign that the stock involved in libya before all of the other nato members and then seizing the assets of the libyan government from their bank accounts so if anyone should have nightmares and conscious that should be psychology and there's a holocaust and i doubt it happens we'll go back to alex in cyprus here what i

think is really interesting what's going on here western media is so western centric and they're all looking at what was going on in the white house what we just talked about right here but really the real game in town is the south korean president mahmoud it looks like he came in and really does a victory from the jaws of defeat here and i find it is. really remarkable how adroit he is and his diplomas cross the he's right here in every single way he did that's a very good point go ahead alex movie showing that piece he's very serious about a piece that goes without question and really he batra into a corner and there's a lot of ego in and around trump that i think will play too and that already the government actually does article i mean this is this is trust chances big chance you get a nobel peace prize and so you have to on the one hand trying to sabotage the peace process which he's done before in the past and i think you're going to be looking

at some other people in the trump white house trying to play to trump ego and move on i believe play discard perfectly by leading with showing that he's serious about a peace deal here showing that he's serious about a negotiation a peace deal and now the world in transports and i and i would also say one other player going to mark here the chinese have shown themselves to be quite serious about what's going on here as well i mean there is this perception is that. kim went to beijing for permission basically no he wanted to inform his chinese talker's what he was going to do and they agreed to it because it is a solid approach here the problem is is that. enemies in the u.s. and in the world don't want to see him succeed that's the ambivalence they show when reporting all this particularly in the media but all the other players seem to be quite serious on how to move forward yeah he made his second trip to china and the last year and i'm sure that the these peace talks were the biggest and again we

said this weeks ago already north korea and south korea whatever happens with the u.s. and the mixed signals it is sending its it's clear that they don't have a clear policy at this point and i don't i don't think this is any type of strategic ambiguity that they literally don't know what they're doing. and north korea and south korea need to sit down with each. rather and continue the process no matter if they need to actually ignore the u.s. and then again maybe try to buy in at a later date but i think it's important again this libya scenario you mentioned that you know bolton statements while provocative were largely ignored by north korea north korea was more upset with the u.s. and south korea. against agreements that had already been made conducted strategic that is nuclear drills on the north korean border involved they announced it was

going to be conducted would be fifty two and they have twenty two which are both nuclear capable of north korea really objected to this great strenuously and then it was dialed back in the b. fifty two they were dialed out of it but the interesting thing is news and the maximum. pressure being applied here you know i mean it's illogical i mean this is a very sensitive time right now i mean really made a good point here i mean president moon when across the d.m.z. i mean think about it for the last you know since one thousand nine hundred fifty three what that means was crossing the berlin wall exactly read it and did what they could you know we can use both north korea and south korea of not doing anything for peace but coming back to that article by ray mcgovern you know i have a peace plan for korea let me just remind our listeners that craig my government is a hero you know he's a former cia official who is now a dissident who recently got beaten you know because you want to toss out

a competent question but my peace plan you know based on that great mcgowan psychical what he says that trump should be led you know dream of his nobel peace prize ok since the novel peace prize is already just credit by being given to obama that the nobel peace prize committee in north will let them come to donald trump and see congratulations and all that drop meant get your price if you need to. i know that could save us time for the war because it. will be the only way to save their noble peace prize after obama gorbachev far and other goals ok let me go back to before we go to the break here i think which i don't want to go into it in great depth but i mean you know we had on my pump a zero come out with his twelve points for in dealing with iran here i mean we can compare that which was all quite ludicrous and very much ridiculed by foreign people in the foreign policy block it seems to me that does mirror the north korean strategy meaning there really if they really haven't.
