working at the existing two elg already you know they're. flying it's real point they can see where i was where those children were coming in one by one. 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 european council building ahead of a meeting of e.u. foreign ministers each pair is meant to represent a palestinian killed by israeli forces over the last decade. over a thousand of them symbolizing children and i brought the shoes of my daughter as well. to just show that i'm standing with those fathers mothers brothers and sisters who lost their children and their siblings in this war and that's why i was calling on the european union say enough is enough until you know to put sanctions israel show them that they live by the task. the israeli army has

repeatedly stressed that it's acting in self-defense and accused the mass of fueling the riots and we spoke to political analyst michele barak he 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 the in order to break through the israeli border the israeli army will stop them that's reasonable and the fact that there have been countries that have condemned israel will say so what every country needs to protect their border every country needs to protect their citizens. supporters are claiming there's a secret plot to keep the u.k.

in the european union offered a much that the government has set aside money for next year's e.u. parliamentary election officials though say the money is only there in case of emotions it's a precautionary measure so that we have the necessary funds to deliver functions 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 off to the u.k. supposed to of left the e.u. yet the u.k. has put aside a hundred thousand pounds for those elections it's been almost two years now since british voters now already chose to leave the e.u. since then let it go between london and brussels have encountered numerous stumbling blocks including over the irish border although still no solution that satisfies all sides the e.u. says it wants more clear proposals from the british prime minister. we want an ambitious 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 spokesman from downing street said to reason may simply trying to get the best possible deal that would satisfy both sides meanwhile you margaret parker believes british people are growing frustrated at how long it's taking the government to find a solution the british people have voted for this referendum have full expectancy to leave. with our government being so slow in their negotiations. we find it very annoying very upsetting that they seem to be so slow every time i think there's time to process 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 you 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. ivan the terrible who ruled russia in the sixteenth century still making headlines today a painting of him in a moscow gallery was vandalized by a visitor who claims 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.

and there are growing suspicions that the u.s. has prepared an indictment against wiki leaks founder julian assange washington has for years refused to officially confirm or deny whether it had done so a democrat congressman adam schiff a leader of one of the investigations into alleged russian meddling in the u.s. has said he'd accept testimony from assad's but only if the whistleblower is in custody and so after assad reportedly sought an audience with schiff to prove his innocence you have to join a side willing to speak to us he told me when mark this year and he said why it is doing aside i want to do that because well he's ready to show that there is no problem. in the tweet by wiki leaks the night it's found i had ever made such an offer. does not speak to the public through third parties we spoke to randy credico the man behind the story he insists he was contacted by

someone from wiki leaks when they found out he was going to meet schiff 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 would 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. himself has been a longstanding nuisance for the united states since the founding of wiki leaks back in twenty two thousand and six it has published thousands of documents exposing u.s. officials diplomats the army and also the intelligence services over the years top u.s. officials haven't their words when it comes to assad's 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 are running critical again says the whole case against the. against the first amendment. this is a first amendment case julian assigns 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 him 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. in other news 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 he said the reports washington seems to have the upper hand. it took twelve years of international diplomacy to reach a nuclear deal but trump decided to tear up and now you're 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 economic investments from the european side but also from other sites in the world so are protected 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 a waiver 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 there's a plan a sci fi political system and if your premise is that this is what you're going to do then 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. sanctions 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 the fence 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 got to really decide the countermeasure us which really bite united states we are not so far you need a 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 then ounce when of the possible withdrawal by major european companies from the corporation with iran is not consistent with the european union's commitment to implementing the deal as it currently stands europe is talking tough on doing business without the u.s. but can the bloc really stand alone when the time comes to act. as the headlines from myself and the team here for the south join us again in thirty minutes for the latest global news on. china says they're going to buy a lot more stuff from the u.s. and so trump is having a fact i mean is that weighing into the minutia of trade deals which you know president has done that i can recall usually they just paint a broad stroke and hope for the best so he's actually getting into the details of

trade deals like oh see if that goes. one else seemed wrong. when old rules just don't hold. any gold you have to shape out these days to come out to. and engage with equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. when the goal make this manufacture consent to step into the public well. when the ruling classes to protect themselves. with the famous merry go round be the one percent.

we can all middle of the room six. million more you need is really. tough. to on the.

hello and welcome the crosswalk we're 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 to meet. he is a political analyst we spoke nick international and we cross to our exclusive forum he is the director and writer for the duran dot com hi gentlemen crossed 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 what's our regarding what's going on with the on and off again 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 it the john bolton a fact mike pompei 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 mike pence and john bull to bring up the libya card why they had to bring up libya is anyone's guess but obviously we know what happened in libya where they got rid of all their other what this and then ten years later actually ten years later the us and nato. dismantled the entire 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 kimpton it responded our. career 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 and of course bolted and i think you're seeing both in the boat in effect for sure here in the trunk far of the sea you know when you bring up the libya model there's actually. the 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 and 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 i mean 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 to make any advances they didn't have the resources or the the scientific expertise to really pursue it they gave up everything surely in just return from goodwill from the west and several years later the result of that is 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 reinforces political messages and the latest one quite tasteless and really disturbing had kimmel jong. having nightmares of waking up like

khadafi being brutalized and raped and then murdered by august 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 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 talk and it and a trumpet that you have you have pump aliant is actually secretary of state right now he was there before he was even confirm to start moving the go she ations had so and he's butting heads it would seem which. 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 a new one made host of statements it was mike pence who compared korea to libya and if anybody should have nightmares this should be. the former french president

who is now accused by the french justice of taking money from khadafi using them for his campaign that the stock in war believe it before all the other nato members and then seizing the assets of the libyan government from their bank accounts so if anyone should have nightmares and breaks up quantas that should be psychology and there's a holocaust and i doubt it happens we're going to go back to alex of 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 moon and looks like he came in and really did snatch victory from the jaws of defeat here and i find it really remarkable how adroit he is in his diploma cross the right in every single way he did that a very good point go ahead alex movie showing that he's very serious about

a peace. that goes without question and really he bactrim into a corner and there's a lot of ego in and around trump that i think will play to a now the government actually does article i mean this is this is trust chances big chance to get a nobel peace prize and so you have 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 up maybe some other people in the truckload white house trying to play the trump ego and move on i believe the latest card perfectly by leading with him showing that he's serious about a huge showing. he's serious about a negotiation a peace deal and now that those interests courts 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 in talkers 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 imbalance 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 that is sending it's 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 other and continue the process no matter if they are to actually ignore the u.s. and then again maybe try to buy it 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 it's all they announced it was going to be conducted with b. fifty two s and f. twenty two which are both nuclear capable of north korea really objected to this great strenuously and then it was dial back in the b. fifteen players who were dialed out of it but the interesting thing. maximum. pressure being applied here you know but i mean it's illogical i mean this is a very sensitive time right now i mean mark really made a good point i mean president moon when across the d.m.z. i mean think of that for the last you know since nine hundred fifty three what that means is crossing the berlin wall exactly they can read it and did what they could

you know we can't accuse both north korea or south korea of not doing anything for peace but coming back to their 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 he wanted to ask and i'm confident question but my peace plan you know based on that great mcgowan psychical what he says that trump should be no dream of his nobel peace prize since the novel peace prize is already discredit by being put into a box 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 time don't have to save us time to do what. they did their family will do the only way to save their noble peace prize after obama gorbachev are far and others 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 my mike pompeo 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 blog it seems to me that does mirror the north korean strategy meaning the really if they really haven't thought it out very well go ahead alex you know we've got twelve steps to war is really what it was. but i mean i think you're right peter can overstress the fact that it's not only the libyan model that north korea is nervous about it's the you ron. that libya north korea is nervous about let's not forget it's only been a couple of weeks since the united states broke their agreements with iraq so there's no doubt that. i'm looking at what happened in iran. yeah north korea has already made two significant gestures of real significance they have detonated

their tunnels that they used for nuclear detonation and they unilaterally returned three u.s. spies so they've obviously done their part but even both in this sabotaging this not only referring to the threat of libyan regime change but by demanding that north korea completely denuclearized right from the get go without anything of force before that meeting and saying are boring for there is a peace treaty signed before there's fay any type of face steps and this is a way of raising expectations but when they actually said that he wanted the talks to go forward as soon as possible so that nothing could be done to then skip steps later and jump right to more serious measures we all that we all know what that means essentially what bolton is saying first surrender and then we can sit down and talk ok and this is exactly the same message gentlemen that the u.s. the trumpet ministration is sending to iran we're going to go to a short break gentlemen after that after that short break we'll continue our discussion on some real new stay with art.
