for just twelve euros fifty. i'm trying to get down to this french counterpart a minute he wants greater independence from washington. yesterday combined with the long term. is a surrender to terrorism israeli defense minister resigned the day after palestine militant groups announced the ceasefire in an attempt to stop an escalating conflict that has claimed eight lives in just twenty four hours. cancer patients in or around find it increasingly difficult to get a life saving medication washington's reimpose sanctions begin to bite. and put it becomes the life of ukrainian summer camp where children are treated

like young soldiers and trained by far right activists to fight russian. good evening and welcome you watching r.t. international. seems the burgeoning bromance between donald trump and i'm on your microphone is now thing of the past there's been a sudden cooling in relations with the french president talking of putting distance between europe and washington while trump has taken his favorite platform twitter of course to lash out at his counterpart charlotte do pinsky reports let's take a look at some of those international headlines now the bromance this hour in the bromance of the saying that the friendship is come to an end that's what is being discussed in the international papers here in france if you take a look here this is the policy and it's basically saying that trump is making fun

of mark or not something that's being discussed across the papers talking about those tweets which attacked french wine which attacked much popularity. it's have a look at those tweets that trump made and say exactly what he said but it was germany in world wars one and two how did that work out for france they were starting to learn german in paris before the u.s. came along pay for nato not france makes it very hard for the us to sell its wines into france and charges big tariffs not fair must change the problem is that emanuel suffers from a very low approval rating in france twenty six percent an unemployment rate of almost ten percent make france great again well for so long the two presidents had been known as having this beautiful romance that started here in paris just around a year and a half ago hugs and kisses but it's all gone sour as

a result of this interview that matt korn gave. that can defend itself without depending only on the united states in the way that exhibits greater sovereignty much as you can say well it's not the first time that much corn has spoken out against trump's policies and being in stark disagreement with them remember when trump pulled out of the paris climate accord this is what mcconnell had to say back then he said of a guy i consider to mistake for the u.s. and its people and a mistake for the future bar planet then of course who could forget the fact that trump pulled out of the uranium new clear accord something that really riled president on it is a new one it was all of its own proposals after the americans rooftop of the agreement struck it has been seen as a catastrophe it. was the most part it seems that trump has let all of those criticisms slide but not this one when it comes to the creation of an army or why

is that well some experts are suggesting it comes down to one thing and one thing only money the idea that if a new era of peace. army was created that could mean less cash in the pockets of the usa and donald trump as a businessman the idea of losing money is a kin to a capital offense he may also be unhappy that map corn could incite others to join this world vault already we know that the german chancellor angela merkel has said she is fully behind this idea so this idea of castigating matt corman twitter could be just serving another purpose of trying to keep the troops in order. if your political expert emanuel to man believes that michael has been outplayed by trump. trump before to come to paris was. shocked and angry

but despite of these niggas she tactic. strong statements in order to make the spark notes took a different position on each works on the following day. just repeats what the average turns once from europe and you say we europeans sure spending more we didn't need to for our security he works for the united states once it's. french president who was not strong enough to keep his own position. but france isn't the only e.u. heavyweight being taken to task by washington the us ambassador to brussels is even threatening to quote stop russia's north stream to gas pipeline to germany we have not deployed the full set of tools yet that could significantly undermine if not outright stop the project. gordon sunderland's warning to berlin comes as anglo-american points out that europe needs russian gas whether america likes it or

not. whether the gas we consume comes through the north stream or through crain or the turks stream the source is one and the same thing russia and europe will not be able to make itself independent from russian gas but what it can do is diversify its sources. because that's not with ike a harmer who is the publisher of the event shaft actual business news letter good evening t. really would you agree with that what i'm glad that europe needs can't do without russian gas yes it would lead to remove that the american gas or any source with the energy of liquid natural gas is far expensive and there is really no need in exterior into the new year with natural gas if we have grown out of the natural gas transported here by our alliance to germany or europe for our russia.

as it were a person on a second or abuse even with the dependency on russia it is not a problem because russia has never in history not fulfill its obligations its current rates so where should the where should the fear come from not even in times where political you have the tensions were russia never start supplying the gas they didn't even supply the gas when the ukrainian government saw most of the gas bio loans for all your gravy this is i totally agree with that that they cannot rely. on russian gas. at least major part of it ok but that's certainly not how the us sees it the u.s. energy secretary has warned europe of the dangers of using russian gas this have a listen to what was said. confederation. has historically

use energy. as a coercive weapon we should no longer allow a criminal to you enter as a weapon. the solution is a diversity of suppliers but there must be a path for that supply so the u.s. thinks that russia uses energy as a weapon to do you think that america really is concerned about european energy security or do they have another motive no no they're not they're not really concerned or on the euro are relying on russian gas i mean if you if you look at the wall and that has the. euro would it be the wall place american doesn't really and europe or most. big story of newton said it once no this thing is something totally different it is about it is about business the u.s.

is increasing or expanding their natural gas industry and therefore they want to have a class they have not they don't know where to supply where to where to exploit the gas on the one hand and the second hand and that is even more or their america is basically bankrupt they cannot export in dollars and more so they need something else to explore and one of the things they can explore the natural resources they got and gas so of course it is not a matter of security of the euro it is morris the measure of security for the number of us america is insistent that it will stop will string too but just how far could it go. well they can do sabotage they can and. they can blackmail the european politicians that are dependent on them but i don't

think that will work and i think the time will it will all they could do they could cause ponette but they could never stop it it is just the leisure way we need and we would be stupid to stop that so these are threats of course if you're stupid enough and do it and follow it they they will lose but the americans are quite quite charming with this they say well of course it's of course supposed is by just our gas line but you can do it it's your own fault you don't have to i mean it is natural and we don't want it so it was really. my politics like a great to speak to thanks for coming on r.t. this evening i guess i could harm the publisher of the vet check back to well business newsletter. you're welcome. in other news israel's defense minister has quit slamming his country's response to palestinian attacks as being weak on monday israeli fighter jets struck palestinian targets after militants in

gaza last rockets and mortar shells avigdor lieberman's resignation comes as palestinian armed groups and israel had confirmed a ceasefire but he branded truce a surrender. for me the cease fire deal breach yesterday combined with a long term deal with a mass is a surrender to terrorism there's no other word no other meaning but surrender to terrorism. incident an israeli town on the border with gaza strongly oppose a ceasefire with hamas that claim its government is caving in to militant violence every cross border fire is killed one israeli and seven palestinians.

i. we discussed the israeli defense ministers meet with mordechai cater from the big inside that center for strategic studies at israel's land university he says lieberman's resignation will help in the next election. did what he did because he heals the voices which. is then strict usually he withdraws also from the coalition and this way is losing the majority which he has in the knesset and now we are entering a new election lieberman in his speech of liz ignatius who mentioned not only what happened yesterday. which he was against he mentioned at least four events connected to other things which he had to this point where one attorney oh

this was the straw the ball clear his own back if every move if i can say it and they decided that enough is enough is enough it might actually bring him to a position in which you would be better in the elections because people know what he did people definitely a good thing with watergate and this actually might play into to his gods. in the coming elections. the president of the iranian academy of medical sciences center a powerfully worded appeal to the u.n. secretary general of the reimposition of u.s. sanctions and his crimes how the lives of many patients in iran are in danger the sanctions have put off drug firms from working in the country we visited one cancer treatment center in tehran. my husband is a cancer patient and we're worried about his medication and their costs medications used to be available before but after the sanctions they have become more expensive and rare and we are worried about the future and what will happen.

only my little this is the second round of my chemotherapy off the sanctions before my chemotherapy used to cost two hundred eleven euro but now with each round i need to pay four hundred and twenty two year old drugs cannot be found easily like before we have to search them in different pharmacies with every single one of them not having a specific kind of drug. now when they impose sanctions on our banks the money cannot be transferred. easily to a foreign country in order to buy medication.

we're not allowed to bring in many devices and some of them like components it's obvious that without these parts the devices simply won't work. we're going to do everything we can describe is iran hard as the british say to make to squeeze them until the pips squeak. want to hear we have nine minutes which are full every day into these health clinics with the sanctions are just not able to respond to half a million patients. i can see a professor of political science calling believes that washington's ultimate goal is to bring down the iranian government at any price the united states is going to as we iraq until all its glory deliver collapses of course the iranian people will be harmed with any type of economic blockade the whole by

the members of the administration the trouble ministration is that this will cause the iranian people to rise up and overthrow the current government in iran so even though john bolton is regime change is not with us is seeking there is simply a euphemism for the girls what he really wants to do is to bring their their current right in government with economic pressure and economic sanctions. the far right children's camp in ukraine has been found to be teaching some rather disturbing lessons we'll have details after the break.

what holds us do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or somehow want to. get it right to be close it's like the forty three of them or ten people. interested always in the logs it. should. seem wrong. just don't all. get to shape out just being. an engagement equals a trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart. just to look

for common ground. ukraine's far right freedom party is organized a summer camp for kids which looks more like a boot camp journalist from the associated press visited the sites where children live in the strict rules and learn how to be sold just trying to house the story. now that's what i call a legit summer camp. oh you know about early morning wakeup calls. oh yes dr i off. chance that kids will remember for the rest of their lives. was catching march. welcome to the temper of will

summer camp and western ukraine it's pretty much a boot camp hidden in the forest the people who set it up are from the national socialist svoboda or freedom party so who can get enrolled officially it's for teens but a.p. journalists who went there say they saw children as young as eight here they're being taught how to kill did you do this you know they still live there it seems limitless new coal then out of system but it used to know what i was doing he should post pickle fun things when one of them only two of his mostly. but not only do they get to learn how to take down those who adults are calling russian invaders the kids are also taught to stand up to what the instructors see as degrading trends in the west see that it.

is. you should make use of the. welcome you will feel. such as the. west that was. what may seem as an ugly display of far right shaw the brainwashing appears to get full support from the local administration well earlier this year kiev splashed some of its bug. it on youth projects the goal is to prop up what they call a national patriotic education some of these projects are run by the stream far right. even the nato backed atlantic council think tank tried to raise international wariness with this article and indeed we didn't write that amnesty

international's pointing out the issues more than just critical ukraine is sinking into a kill sort of uncontrolled violence posed by radical groups and the total impunity critically no one in the country can feel safe under these conditions and if you're wondering if any of this could actually spill beyond ukraine well just lately and f.b.i. agents criminal complaint said ukrainian neo nazis were believed to have trained white supremacists in america just wait till some of these youngsters grow up. in january ukraine passed a law recognizing russia as an aggressor state last week the ukrainian vice prime minister said the country's trying to build a strong democracy where as the kremlin supports populist nationalist movements journalist brian we're told has been monitoring coverage of the ukraine conflict since it erupted four years ago believes that we may have reached a turning point i'm just shocked that it's finally been reported in the west

a main associated press have gone in there obviously a syndication agency so obviously that you know their copy then has to be reported in other mediums i'm pleasantly surprised that you know outfits like the washington post notably have covered it although some of the usual suspects you know the guardian and outlets i doubt if ignored the story once again but that's not surprising but it's good that for the first time you know many readers in western countries are finally learning something about what's really good. on in western ukraine particular with these nationalist groups the way things work in the west is that you need pressure groups you know think tanks to kind of get on these bandwagons and kind of you know almost force the agenda and what's very interesting is here we've got children you know schoolchildren miners being trained to hate being trained to kill being trained to fight and where is amnesty international where is human rights watch i mean they're not interested i mean where is the american embassy what it's supposed moral leadership you know lashing out against this where the british embassy i mean there's plenty of time to. you know complain

about other subjects. but the u.s. and china currently looking horns in a tussle for greater influence in the southeast asian region russia is looking to assert its own interests both commercial and diplomatic when face russia summit in singapore looks like a good opportunity or is it a standoff reports from the event wednesday is the day when russia goes on the charm offensive here in singapore and with lattimer putin himself leading the delegation it really leaves no room for doubt as to how really important this summit for russia is now there's a number of things most you could be seeking from this gathering the first and the most straightforward one is pushing the market seeing its weapons in the region a number of regional countries have already invested couple of billion of dollars to russian arms like for example indonesia vietnam the philippines got their free tranche of weapons to help them combat i saw on the territory another and the more

subtle diplomatic pursuit russia could be in here is revolves around the fact that china and the united states the relations between the countries are quite hostile over a multitude of things and so are the nations who are present here they're confronted with the perspective of having to take a side between the united states and china and since many of these countries do have relations with both of them and they may not want to spoil those relations russia could be another way out of this catch twenty two situation. fessenden chen from the chinese university of hong kong says the days in countries might consider a partnership with russia as a way to basically trade war between china and. the countries very famous for hatching diplomacy to has been the two giant. russia is an option for them to consider actually in the last meeting but russia and the

chinese have signed some deals with the countries to collaborate in energy front and the greatest the russians can rely on i do think in the future if the russians can keep exporting resolve in oregon particularly to the countries the importance of these very important join in the even more in the hands so probably the russians are looking for a critical role to play between the chinese and the americans for the us and countries where. it's needed good gender from the state is being put forward i do think there will be more opportunities for a lot of countries to enter into disagreement and russia is definitely you know kind of in. the back with a place for you in half an hour see if. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see you then.
