four palestinians are reportedly shot and killed by israeli troops while hundreds are injured during a violent protest at the gaza border. are broadcasting live director of studios moscow this is our to thomas glad to have you with us. 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 what we have 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 it will do 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 milan activity from russia in a whole variety of ways of course including on the streets of celebrity in the u.k. so we need to say 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 g 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has always said that the group is exclusive that it no longer represents the world's interests. we spoke to lawyer and political activist a christian man sara he thinks failing to recognize russia as a global player is a mistake. the seven is a conglomerate of countries that have very influential economies. the politics of these nations influence everybody around the world so excluding. russia fund this group of countries in my view is something that goes in detriment of that possibility of being able to negotiate to come together to resolve the world's great is challenges and we cannot exclude countries that in many ways are part of those decisions not only at the united nations but at other world stages of the idea is not a bad one and i think that it should be considered and thinking about. russia as

a fall or as an enemy i mean we may disagree on some aspects of world diplomacy and how to manage certain issues but i think that ignoring the fact that it's a world player is a big mistake president trump is now in quebec canada where all the g seven members have taken a seemingly cheerful family photo however there appears to have been a major fall out between e.u. states and of the us ahead of the summit the french president even suggested that america could be excluded from the organization. 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 england to save them to the group who challenges of the worlds and instead of that we would be

divided between not to be a g seven it would be a g six why 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 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 warned 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 trump 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 have broken away from those conditions blame the other countries now that's what you want to hear right before a g. seven summit donald corder r.t. former us presidential candidate ron paul told us that if other members of the g seven are calculating trump will change course well they may be disappointed. and maybe they think truffle backdown which he might you know a lot of times look at hostile he was to north korea and all of a sudden you know his tune changed right now he might be just maneuvering they're betting on that and he has done that on foreign policy but there are certain things that he does not back down on for instance he did he campaigned on me did not back down and on or on iran and that's why we're moving in this direction so maybe he'll

stick to his guns on these on these tariffs. and i think it'll be interesting and and worth watching over this weekend but i just don't think anything real positive is coming out because i don't think they talk about the real problems that cause that are our climate of hostility and trading and coming up with this but there are certain things that he does not back down on for instance he did he campaigned on it did not back down in on or on iran and that's why we're moving in this direction so maybe he'll stick to his guns on these on these tariffs but they're they're punishing us the american taxpayer the american consumer is punishing al-hadi so it really doesn't make any sense when the europeans spoke out after trump took us out of the nuclear agreement with iran a movie europeans will see enough to it this is business. for 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 them threw rocks at them protesters have now been rallying for eleven weeks insisting israel return the lands palestinians consider theirs however israel disagrees with these demands. today hundreds of thousands of 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 due to money 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 eleven six 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 flying 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 that you've got that has been thrown on the palestinian protesters just right now 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 front and we can see the israeli soldiers and israeli snipers heavenly station piles. stand along the fence that separates gaza strip with what is right then scenes are running high and that 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 hamas as 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 threatened and directly

targeted in recent weeks and we see a vigorous attempt to instrumental eyes open eyes ation as a pawn in the conflict yemen's civil war between who the rebels are loyal to the previous government and army forces backed by saudi led coalition has torn the country apart over the past three years now according to the u.n. thousands of children have been killed or injured with millions of 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 . we have seen a series the addition 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 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 detention 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 also in the past three years this is not acceptable. 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 order 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 the yemenis also today. it failed asylum seekers suspected of raping and murdering a teenage girl in germany has been arrested in iraq follows a high profile hunt for the man who managed to flee the country with false documents raising questions over the police is handling of the case with more details his arteries pillar of. well this is a case that it's fair to say has shaken germany it's everywhere you look around the country on media and in newspapers on friday involves the killing of a fourteen year old girl whose body was found on wednesday she'd been missing from the western german city of these barden from from the twenty second of may early in

stages of the investigation of course but the what the police are revealing is that it seems that she was strangled and sexually assaulted now she comes from a family that were well known and active within the jewish community and when she went missing her mother actually issued a really heart wrenching appeal via facebook to chancellor angela merkel to try an appeal for any have any answers to where her child was do you mrs america this is an appeal for help i turn to you with this cry for help because if you let down by the german state as well as by the police there is nothing worse for a mother in the world than not to know where her child is where the main suspect who has been detained in northern iraq is described as a twenty year old failed asylum up look into originally arrived in germany from iraq now he was already known to authorities for a string of petty theft involvement and also his involvement in

a previous rape case so there are a lot of questions flying around how despite these serious red flags this person was not deported already or at least facing some form of custodial sentence within germany now this has been jumped on by right wing groups within the country also including the largest opposition party the alternative for germany party saying that this is a huge direct result of angela merkel's refugee policies the the direct policies that are so intrinsically linked and ultimately will be intrinsically linked to angela merkel's tenure as chancellor. however those people who have criticized and belittle for that in turn being criticized for turning what is really a tragedy into a political football. but as well as 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 in tuesday's in 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 a co-equal member state to apply additional pressure on the media regime to expel the dictatorship from the organization of american states that suspension that suspension is not to go into itself but it would show that oas backs up its words with action that it was in a powerful signal to the material regime the oas must stand for. however some in the u.s. believe america's stance on venezuela is still not tough enough artie's only a tranquil comments. 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 look at what the piece is called elephants 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's 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 is 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 women's including soldiers to restore democracy the question is how to get rid of me before he completes the destruction of his country introducing the venezuela 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 bloody 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 men to go we have many options for that as well 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 author and investigative journalist dave lindorff believes any washington effort to topple the government in caracas is bound to misfire. it was listening to trump at the end there that last quote and he's

talking about near and as well is in people are dying in it that 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 they. revolution . the biggest event in football the world cup kicks off in under a week's time and national teams coaches referees and fans are already flocking in eleven host cities are all ready to give a warm welcome as are the russian people. but he gets to go full bore to all football fans and the greatest football teams on the planet but. welcome to all who

good is safer than what we have say out there but to be able to come over here and take part in this competition is a wonderful competition they get us army and people from all over the world and then they take that experience they go back to rio they go back to their community and this is hey guys there's a world out there and there's other people like us all over the world that have got potential just like us. so so you. you've won the world cup was up one of them and. so the brazilian goals have was the wounds straight. is this a good omen for brazil will say. but

. you know what i don't. have. to say. 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 they positioned 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 would seeing this now play out real time america's falling out of the twenty story window it is a collapse gap the soviet union america collapsed roughly the same time for roughly the same reasons and now america is having its boris yeltsin moment with donald trump. four men are sitting in a car when the fifth gets shot in the head. all four different versions of what happened one of them is on the death row there's no way he could have done it there's no possible way because the list did not shoot around a corner. sort

of the shevardnadze controversies surrounding the poisoning of x. spice it has plunged relations between moscow and london into another crisis what is the way out of the deadlock while i ask lord peter truscott a member of the u.k.'s house of lords and former member of the european parliament . and you wrists between the u.k. and russia is one following this. london is running its european neighbors against moscow lobbying for new sanctions and a joint diplomatic effort but with the u.k. on its way out of the european union county council on the continent of its back how does going to brussels for help go along with tough negotiations and will the new russian moves actually accomplish anything for the united kingdom. lord peter truscott welcome to the show it's really great to have you with us now had i met

five recently said that the kremlin is to chief protagonists in the come pain to undermine the west while the russian government want that i mean the e.u. being russia's number one trading partner means that russia camera strong with the west being weak well i think you know this is this is this is the sort of the position of not just the u.k. government but other other governments as well in the west i think it's sort of unfortunate spawn of the this historic patent of wanting to contain russia and seeing russia in a poem and this is really goes back to the formation of nato really in the one nine hundred forty s. which was established as an anti soviet military. and of course there was that there was a hope that things would improve on after the fall of the berlin wall and the breakup of the soviet union but unfortunately about house hasn't developed as many people hope. you even have people like james baker the former u.s. secretary of state saying in one thousand nine hundred three that russia could

perhaps join nato and then i think there was a lost opportunity there at the end of the calamity like broke into the us or i should joining nato is nato was originally created to counter soviet union and big part russia i mean they go in the cells with russia and it is absolute it doesn't make any sense anyway so the guardian has reported that u.k. is planning to use upcoming summits like the g seven g twenty nato and the e.u. gatherings to tighten the diplomatic front against russia do you think the foreign office will succeed look i think i just did it just going back to the just going back to the whole nato thing i think if nato was norms. designed to counter russia in the soviet union there's no reason why as a collective security organization that russia couldn't join not think about what's the point point about.
