that would be. right. back. right. ahead of the g. seven summit u.s. and italian leaders call for the g. eight to be reinstated with russia returned to the group of leading industrial nations but there is also talk about. french president suggests picking up the u.s. . you don't get maybe the american president to be isolated today but we also don't mind you being six if need be. the red cross pulls seventy one workers out of war torn yemen over security risks the humanitarian group says its activity in the country has been blocked. directly targeted.

palestinians are reportedly shot and killed by israeli troops while hundreds are injured during a violent protest at the gaza border. are broadcasting live in moscow this is. certainly good to have you with us. but u.s. president donald trump has called for the g. seven to reinstate russia as a member of the group of leading industrial nations he made the remarks as he was departing the white house for this year's summit in canada. it. would be. right. back to we right here on the way to the summit trump said that russia as a world leader should be at the negotiating table so that they can solve all the

world's problems together now the new italian prime minister commented shortly after agreeing with trump that russia should be reinstated. as for the presence of russia in the g. eight we will see for sure italy was traditionally a supporter of the russian presence in the g. eight. may however disagrees with them let's check out how she justified that we have seen activity from russia in a whole variety of ways of course including on the streets of salzburg the in the u.k. so we need to see i think before any such conversations can take place russia needs to change its approach russia was kicked out of the group after the twenty fourteen crimea referendum when the majority of the population of voted to join russia with international observers present but somehow the west still considers it and even legal an extension but going back to trump's comments the kremlin already responded saying that the seven is not really a priority for them and that russia is focused on other formats now president putin

has always said that the group is exclusive that it no longer represents the world's interest. it's now across live to our bruno who is a contributor at geo political monitor dot com thanks for being with us here on r.t. international. good morning so. i mean if we get right down to it only two countries are interested in having russia back in that would be italy in the united states why do you think it's only the italian prime minister the back trumps proposal to reinstate russia to the g. seven could this be like a new sign of the new government that rome is dealing with right now. well actually the time government even gently loney the last government before this what always expressed a need and desire to improve relations with moscow and in fact of all the g seven countries. italy probably had the best relations with moscow throughout this period

since two thousand and fourteen and long before that in fact italy had an excellent relationship with the soviet union it was the country with biggest problem is very . sixty sixty seventy and cultural economic and political relations the fear that built into the car factory do you believe the same as you could read latin and there was a town called do you think in the soviet union named after the time communist leader so from that departed from that area i'm not surprised at all that this government would do is mention the need to get closer to russia for one thing. time companies are dying to do business with russia again particularly the ones that voted. in the north where the later one a lot because many of those countries have suffered a major loss of business because of the sanctions imposed on russia so.

well no i was just going to ask you know there was a lot of tweet fighting if you will just ahead of the g. seven summit why do you think the trouble made this particularly in support of russia just as he was heading off to the g seven meeting. i think trump is focused not on the g. seven but rather on the meeting with the kim jong un in north korea where so in singapore where he will goes he will interrupt in fact this summit early to go prepare and singapore. and i think it was a slight at the other of the seven countries which he's had a few problems lately namely i think he sees the european union and the e.u. in some ways led by germany and he has not had a good relationship with angle america so pushing putin the idea of.

reopening to russia and including russia at the g. eight is an important it's almost. an important after mission of his. i'm not sure if to call it anger but position and his and his difficulties with the other particular the europeans. at the same time i think trump has a problem because many of his own cabinet are not exactly what i would call russell fights starting with his ambassador to the u.n. nikki haley and john bolton for that matter so he has a conflict. in various ways. but i was surprised by the surprise by the timing at the same time not surprised i was expecting him to mention the. russians in some form because also he will need russia's support

in directly in the negotiations of north korea. right very interesting to hear your thoughts it's going to be interesting to see how this all plays out over the next weeks and months alexandra bruno contributor at geo political monitor dot com thanks for being with us here on r.t. . all right president trump is now in combat and then where all the g seven numbers have taken a seemingly cheerful family photo however there appears to have been a major fall out between e.u. states and of the u.s. ahead of the summit the french president even suggested that america could be excluded from the organization if. you don't maybe the american president doesn't mind being isolated today but we also don't mind being six if need be the g. seven summit seems already destined for dysfunction with a heap of complaints from the u.s. as european allies some are suggesting a name change to keep up with the times we should have been united to invoke to

save them to talk to the group who challenges of the world and instead of that we would be divided between not just certain it would be a g six. it's not too hard to see where the fallout between washington and the rest of the pack is coming from in just two years donald trump has caused serious problems for a major international agreements first by announcing he was ditching the paris climate accord then the iran nuclear agreement the breakthrough deal which took years to negotiate and now he's unleashed a trade war with the e.u. by slapping tariffs on their steel and aluminum. the united states will withdraw from the iran nuclear deal the united states will withdraw from the paris climate accord the united states has been taken advantage of by other countries both friendly and not so friendly for many many decades and i'm here to

protect and one of the reasons i was elected as i'm protecting our workers on protecting our companies even the angle of merkel who is known for maintaining her cool during the worst diplomatic spats has had some strong words to share about the u.s. as recent exits says. it is clear that especially with the exit of the u.s. from the climate deal there is dissent within the g seven just as much as with the announcement of tariffs on the mean human steel which we believe are illegal and also the issue of the iranian nuclear deal which the u.s. has withdrawn from. moreover merkel warns of this lack of compromise may lead to the g seven failing to issue a joint statement and chances are high it will with the french president emanuel macron also rumored to be unwilling to sign a joint paper with trump unless he makes some concessions and makes an effort to mend all the multilateral deals he's jumped which most likely will not. there may

be disagreements. i regard this as. much like a family quarrel we will do what is necessary to protect the united states its businesses and its workforce don't blame trump. blame the nations that are broken away from those conditions blame the other countries now that's what you want to hear right before a g. seven summit donald corridor r t. four palestinians have reportedly been killed and hundreds injured in a violent protest on the gaza border israeli troops have fired tear gas at protesters israel defense forces say that they had to disperse around ten thousand palestinians some of whom threw rocks at them protesters have now been rallying for eleven weeks insisting israel return the lands palestinians consider theirs however israel disagrees with the demands.

today hundreds of thousands palestinians are participating in million man march and they started this march on the thirtieth of march where at least one hundred twenty three palestinians have been killed fourteen thousand have been injured by live ammunition most of them. are now with a life long disability that israeli forces continue to continue the violence and aggression against the palestinian protesters and palestinian protesters stated that they would not stop protesting until they achieve their demand and until the seas that has been employed on the gaza strip is removed this is

a palestinian protester was shot right now and his leg and this is the first injury of the levinson week of protesting of the great march of reach and today is supposed to be a very very hard day where people are expecting more violence and more and more as you see tear gas is being fired on the palestinian protesters and you see how intensively they're fighting the tear gas and this is a palestinian and this is a palestinian female that was also injured by two guys and it's very obvious that she was suffocating from the tear gas that has been thrown on the palestinian protesters just right now what more israeli forces and more israeli snipers i haven't the stations along the fence and we are now two hundred meters away only from the fence and we can see the israeli soldiers and israeli snipers heavenly station piles of sand along the fence that separates gaza strip with with their

with israel tensions are running high end but the israeli forces continue to use tear gas canisters against the palestinian protesters. according to the i.d.f. its troops are stationed near the gaza border in order to defend israeli civilians and security infrastructure from the mosses attempts to conduct terror attacks. the red cross has evacuated scores of its workers from yemen amid concerns for their safety our current activities have been blocked frightened and directly targeted in recent weeks and we see a vigorous attempt to instrumental eyes open a zation as a pawn in the conflict yemen civil war between who the rebels are loyal to the previous government and army forces backed by a saudi it led coalition has torn the country apart over the past three years according to the un thousands of children have been killed or injured with millions displaced and even more in need of humanitarian assistance now it has been described as the worst manmade humanitarian crisis in modern history the saudi led

coalition which has been conducting a bombing campaign in the country says it always seeks to protect civilians and aid organizations working in the country but a spokesperson for the red cross in yemen says such measures are simply not working . i. we have seen a series they are they should of the security and then we have felt also that somehow this collective responsibility of all the parties to the conflict to ensure the security of humanitarian workers has let us down so now we have been forced to the locate seventy one of our staff which is the majority of our international staff from across the country in yemen to djibouti why we have a back base to support the operations do to the degradation of the security situation. we had a colleague that was brutally murdered less than two months ago the entire menu was coming out of the tension visit in the past two years we have also had yemeni

colleagues who were shot and killed we have had an abduction of another colleague or all saw in the past three years this is not acceptable to. all the parties to the to this conflict and then the countries that influence them have to take up their collective responsibility and i want to emphasize the fact that this is a collective responsibility of all the parties to protect the humanitarian workers but also to protect the yemeni civilians that are caught in between when we say that the international committee of the red cross an institution that has an extensive experience working in front lines and working in a war zone is having is having to relocate its staff that just shows how bad the situation is if it's this bad for us you can imagine how bad it is for yemenis also today. what you are to international more news after a short break. i

don't think that we should get above all cells on a young bride to be british but we all know. and we should not pretend that we are as people we haven't gotten in power any more we have won so i think there's a limit to what britain can achieve on its own what we what we can achieve is is we work together to to. world peace through working with other countries we're going to do it is the burden on our runs. you know our friend dimitri orloff wrote a famous essay collapse gap a few years ago said that the soviet union and america would both collapse for the similar reasons just that the u.s. would take longer a position i said soviet union was like falling out of a one story window and america's like story falling out of a twenty story window and i think we're seeing this now play out real time america's falling out of a twenty story window it is a collapse gap the soviet union america collapsed roughly at the same time for

roughly the same reasons and now america is having its boris yeltsin moment with donald trump. or welcome back this is our t. international venezuela's president has slammed the u.s. over a blackmail campaign nicolas maduro added that washington has threatened every single member of the organization of american states seeking to influence the group to support venezuela's suspension on tuesday's vote the oas approved a resolution to start the suspension of caracas that is after heavy lobbying from washington which has been calling on countries to isolate venezuela. the venezuelan people deserve better than what the regime of nicolas maduro offers them cohen fellow member states to apply it to. no pressure on the media regime to expel the dictatorship from the organization of american states that suspension the

suspension is that a goal to itself but it would show that oas backs up its words with action and it was send a powerful signal to the material regime the oas must stand for three. hour some in the u.s. believe america's stance on venezuela is still not tough enough to try to explain its. could it be that some hawks in washington are having second thoughts on how great their tactic of orchestrating regime change is i've got a couple of quotes from a us magazine for you of course no one wants to see a regression in which military coups to the norm certainly expecting a faction of the military to depose the current regime and restore democracy entails risk did worrying about the risks and side effects of regime change just outweigh the goals set by the folks in d.c. you wish to look at what the piece is called elephant in the room it's time for a coup in venezuela this wasn't just from some reporter writing for the magazine

the author is a man who advised george w. bush the president behind the of ghana stand and iraq invasions a few more revolutions took place while he was sitting pretty in the oval office yup and apart from the couple of lines i've shown you the whole piece as one big call for regime change it says there are no guarantees of course but that's no excuse for complacency so bring it on with a coup no biggie just a major us foreign policy website running in peace killing for the violent military overthrow of another country's government wow sure restore legitimate constitutional democracy is the nature outcome of june to take over. but just one slip like that can overshadow the image of the american press right ruben for a crew the international community should encourage even as williams including soldiers to restore democracy the question is how to get rid of myths to move

through before he completes the destruction of his country and traducing the event as well a coup hungry news it's true that men as well as have found themselves in deep deep trouble but since when has it been for some foreign media to decide when there is to be a coup they can be blood. they can claim many many lives and throw countries into worse chaos oh we should forget that we're reading the papers from a country whose folks in charge have said things like this for the safety and the security of all people in latin america it is time for me to around to go we have many options for venezuela and by the way i'm not going to rule out a military option we have troops all over the world at places that are very very far away venezuela is not very far away and the people are suffering and dying we have many options for venezuela including a possible military option if necessary meddling interfering invading any ideas

who's world champion at that i'd offer and investigative journalist to dave lindorff believes any effort by washington to topple the government in caracas is bound to misfire i was listening to trump at the end there that last quote means talking about near venezuela is and people are dying and where were you in puerto rico when the hurricane hit and it was even closer to the u.s. and people were dying the u.s. says it has a history of supporting coups all through latin america it's a joke to say that the us wants freedom in wants to protect people if they really did send troops to venezuela it would be. truly vicious battle because there's so much public support among the poor where the. revolution . the biggest event in football the world cup kicks off in under

a good omen for brazil will say. nothing . but that. was.

the transatlantic relationship is had many ups and downs since its inception after the second world war it is said this relationship is whether these moments of tensions and differences due to american leadership enter donald trump can the transatlantic relationship survive the current occupant in the white house. he said. the church secret indeed just like priests accused of sexually abusing children can get away with it quite literally i like to call this the do graphic solution so what the bishop needs to do then he finds out that the priest is is a perpetrator is simply moves him to a different spot where the previous standard is not the highest ranks of the catholic church help conceal the accused priests from the police and justice system to that end of that's known as the i didn't and then i can flip out at tuesday's

out in. its path. i think that donald trump is really confident about his capacity is ability to persuade people and the power of yes personality and all this kind of things and i'm sure that can some good will try to play this card will try to give donald trump something he can tweet so he can show to everyone look i'm the first one i'm the one who rolls the art of the deal i'm the first one can make a deal with this guy what every other american president before me failed i succeeded.

in. turning. himself into a deal in the posting on the assume that equal distances also means only those who are still small. don't. tell him till.
