much of this. journalism for journalists now more than ideological. donald trump again lashes out at his french counterpart and on your marker on who wants greater independence from washington. with the long term. to terrorism israeli defense minister resigns just a day after palestine militant groups announced the ceasefire in an attempt to stop an escalating conflict that's claimed ape lives twenty four hours. cancer patients in around find it increasingly difficult to get life saving medication is washington's sanctions beginning to bite.

craney in some account poor children are treated like young soldiers and. the russian threat. seems that the burgeoning bromance between donald trump and emanuel micron is a thing of the past there's been a shock cooling in relations with the french president talking of putting distance between europe and washington while trump's taken to his favorite platform twitter to lash out at his counterpart. let's take a look at some of those international headlines now the bromance. in the bromance the saying that the friendship. and that's what is being discussed in the international papers here in france if you take a look here this is the policy and its base. 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 corns 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 us 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 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. bill we needed you of 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. i considered a 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 this year it was all proposals that after the americans root of the agreement stock has been seen as a catastrophe oil. well for 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 well

why is that well some experts are suggesting it comes down to one thing and one thing only money the idea that if they knew in european 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 matt korn could incite others to join this revolt 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 geopolitical expert pierre emmanuel tamam believes the micron has been outplayed by trump. burner trump before to come to paris was. shocked and angry but out of these niggas she tactic. strong statements in order

to make the spark notes take a different position on each works on the following day. just repeats the average turns once from europe and you say we europeans should spending more we didn't need to for our security he works for the united states once it's got french president who was not strong enough to keep his own position. france isn't the only e.u. heavyweights being taken to task by washington the us ambassador to brussels is even threatening to quote stop russia's nord 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 golden sundin's warning to berlin comes as anglo-american points out europe needs russian gas whether the us likes it or not. whether the gas we consume comes through the nord stream or through grain or the

turks stream the source is one and the same russia and europe will not be able to make itself independent from russian gas but what it can do is diversify its sources we spoke to ike a publisher of the shaft to well business news letter he says that there are economic reasons behind germany's push for russian gas. the american guest already a source with the energy a liquid natural gas is our expenses and there is really no need in excuse of the need for gas if we have the natural gas transported here by our pipelines to germany or euro for a russian oligarch would do if they could postpone it they could never stop it americans are quite charming with this they say well you know of course of course so that all those who oppose this but you saw the line but if you do it it's your

whole you don't have to i mean it's natural that we don't want to do. and washington is ramping up the threats on an official visit to e.u. member hungary the u.s. energy secretary warned europe of the danger of using russian gas russian federation. has historically use energy. as a coercive weapon we should no longer allow the kremlin to you enter as a weapon. the solution is a diversity of suppliers. but there must be a path for that supply. even with the. russia it is not a problem because russia has never in history not for sale it's. a geisha it's correct so where should me where should the fear of crime fraud it is a lot of it is about business the us. increasing or expanding their natural

gas industry and therefore they want to have. they have not they don't know where to supply where to where to exploit the gas. israel's defense minister has quit slamming his country's response to palestinian attacks last week on monday israeli fighter jets struck palestinian targets after militants in gaza would launch rockets and mortar shells have a door lieberman's resignation comes on reports of a defacto cease fire between palestinian groups and israel he branded that truce a surrender. for me the cease fire deal reached yesterday combined with the long term deal with a mass is a surrender to terrorism there's no other word no other meaning but surrender to terrorism. more residents of an israeli town on the border with gaza strongly oppose a ceasefire with a mass and claim the government is caving into militant violence heavy cross border

fire is killed one israeli and seven palestinians. i. was. i we discussed the israeli defense minister's move with mordechai keda from the beginning center for strategic studies at israel's university he says lieberman's resignation will help him. and the next election lieberman did what he did because he heals the voices which come out from the israeli strike usually he withdraws also from the coalition and this way and in turn yellow is losing the majority which he has in the knesset and now

we are entering a new election liberman in his speech of liz ignatius he mentioned not only what happened yesterday of the ceasefire which he was against he mentioned at least four events connected to other things which he had a dispute with when the time you know this time was the strong. box his own back if it may if i can say it and he decided that enough is enough is enough it might actually bleed into a position which he would be better in the elections because people know what he did and people definitely agree with what he did and this actually might play into to his cards. in the coming elections. tuesday the u.n. security council held an emergency meeting on the conflict with the israeli representative and palestinian observer at loggerheads despite reports of a cease fire agreed by the two sides security council must only condemn

hamas we condemn in the strongest possible terms this aggression by israel there is no such a thing both sides. but that taxon fires result of this blockade which is immoral and illegal and it is in humane and we will continue to take any measures no measures necessary to protect our own people this round of violence was created as a result of a botched. bizarrely military operation in the gaza strip it's very interesting for me to hear the israeli ambassador speak about the gaza as collation all of the victims except one of this round of escalation where palestinian all of the victims were inside gaza and not outside of the gaza strip israel bombed a t.v.

station it bombed residential buildings it leveled them to the ground those are acts that are acts of terror because they did terrorize two million palestinians the latest round of escalation started because of a botched israeli undercover operation three kilometers deep inside gaza that's how the escalation started with the israeli forces killing seven palestinians. well in two years since the u.k. referendum decision to leave the european union a draft brags that deal is being presented and agreed on by to reason mais cabinet . forces before us were difficult particularly in relation to the northern ireland . but the collective decision of cabinet was that the government should agree the draft withdrawal agreement and the outlined political declaration this is a decisive step which enables us to move on and finalize the deal in the days ahead

. these decisions were not taken lightly but i believe it is a decision that is firmly in the national interest. the talks between two reason why and her cabinet ministers were shuttled to last only three hours it seems the prime minister faced more challenges than anticipated and only emerged after five hours to face the press the conditions of the draft five hundred page document have not yet been published in full or likely to come during a statement to parliament little bit tomorrow but speaking to one piece earlier today the pm did offer a few details he said that it would end the freedom of movement would allow the u.k. to take back control of its budget and laws as well as pull out of the fisheries and out agricultural policies. well let's analyze this news coming through now with radio host and journalist joan gold goes down the line good evening to each other so this is an issue close to your heart as much as it is to everybody in the u.k. now we've got to resume a confirming she has the backing of a cabinet it took a long time it's considered

a big hurdle i understand obviously parliament is the biggest hurdle coming though do you think parliament are likely to side with her well before that that's true rather cabinet she's got the back of the cabinet that's a bit like a football manager has the backing of the chairman and then they get the sack after the next guy she will get this through the commons stories are already coming out of that meeting and the draft proposal is now being published evidently it was all right one fight in there it went on for five hours i think there is back here at this moment but i believe she's charged i believe should be very lucky to get through the weekend and she won't get through just come through the commons anyway even if there isn't a leadership challenge you just have to do the math new york do you pronounce arlene is going to see treason harper state but there's no way she's going to accept that so that's ten votes against her then there's labor and then malled an

easy argy group i mean they are going to make a statement very soon as well if cabinet ministers back they probably had made a decision well. back because it won't go through the commons anyway and therefore we don't have to have any chance of his being unpopular and losing their job position is typical of british politicians they just are looking after themselves and putting themselves before the country to what extent do you think in the discussion that will take place in the commons in the vote that the end pays will actually be thinking about what their constituents want what the public want we know from the folk it was tight but most people wanted to leave to think that we representing those people or they thinking for themselves no only ever do is think for themselves they're self-serving pigs the majority of them let's face it seventeen point four million people the majority voted to get out and we should have been out ages ago he's taken two years of this nonsense this is what people have showed a lot of people's votes and a second referendum look we had

a people's vote and the people spoke the politicians should just go on with it and they clearly haven't because let's face it treason may is a remain a chair core they didn't want us to leave the globalists didn't want to leave barack obama did want to leave goldman sachs didn't want his to leave industrialist and wanted to leave but why give a vote of the people if you then going to ignore it and i believe today sheree survey has definitely now betrayed us she sure many eighteen this great nation in the way that she's giving to the e.u. demands and that's why i think when it comes to the commons i just don't think it'll go through not because the commons will be thinking of their constituents but they'll be just voting on party lines to wreck the stockholding is a complete and utter mess and democracy has been denied and i think people are going to be very angry when this sinks in tomorrow but i do believe that trees and they will go. well there was one ex question i mean that the reports coming out

that she might face this vote of no confidence i mean on a percentage scale how likely is that do you think well they're saying. the amount of letters gone in already over the amount they need and evidently has been no concerted campaign so far but i think we have to wait to see what jacob riis mark says he's making a statement i think the next ten to twenty minutes i think winston once that happens of it it will be a concerted effort there will be a leadership challenge she will have to go because what the jurors will not want is oprah trotted leadership contests and they certainly don't want a general election because then there's a danger that corbin could get in so i think though that a coronation simply else will take over are the david davis or boris johnson nothing more who may well be the chancellor and will move forward and hopefully then they'll deliver to the british public what the majority of our school which

was direction and make no mistake neal what she's dished up today ees not direction even from the leaks we had before she could trade the people of northern ireland she betrayed the fishing communities of scotland and she betrayed seventeen point four million people who took part in the largest democratic exercise for decades she has betrayed them this woman must go will it be bragg's it or will it be fudge it will find out when it goes to the call and many thanks for joining me radio host journalist i'm going to thank you. the parliament approved tougher rules on arms exports through authoritarian regimes after releasing a report that cites a large number of european made weapons ended up in and the islamic state militants in syria and iraq. i'm very glad that our report has been adopted it is a strong signal for stricter e.u. arms export control we need to putin and both the e.u.'s military madness as well

advance croupy less and lucrative business of deaths by european weapons document penned by german any piece of been alerting expresses shock over the volume of e.u. weaponry going to die of it is far more to be done to stop export licenses that might be used to supply terrorist addie more effective methods must be found to stop the transfers of the document also mentions several countries including saudi arabia and the united states a third parties and trade with them should come under thorough control it said coeditor of the b s news website mike ruddy says the e.u. is drawing attention to the role washington has on arms being supplied to extreme regimes in particular. i certainly think that drawing attention to it and mentioning the us as a party was quite a good idea it's subtle it's very subtle but it certainly draws attention to the

fact that the us is the factory the biggest arms dealer on the planet and donald trump being president is the biggest number one arms dealer going at the moment so we have to draw attention to that we have to draw attention to the fact that without the u.s. supplying arms to saudi arabia and other oppressive regimes in the middle east al-qaeda and isis and affiliates would be struggling to actually wage their walls or aggression in syria and iraq so yeah i think that. at least and european parliament members of the european parliament didn't want to draw people's attention to that but couldn't do it overtly as it were so yeah they they've they've they've been very cruel and shrewd about it and they've actually but brought it to people's attention without specifically attacking the u.s. for its policy. farai freedom parties organized a summer camp for kids which looks like a boot camp journalist from the associated press visited the site where children

live under strict rules and learn how to be soldiers or pick up a story. now that's what i call a legit summer camp. oh you know about early morning wakeup calls. oh yes right by our. 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 good just because this is a new day and they can still live there it seems limitless new coal then out of system but it just in the water was sizzling he should post to cool fun things when one of them and that was the only two of his more. 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 . you should make use of the. welcome you will feel you have taught us the. west that was. your should have but. 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 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 principally 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 the law recognizing russia as an address a state last week ukrainian vice prime minister said the country is trying to build a strong democracy whereas the kremlin supports populist nationalist movements germans brian mcdonald who's 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 the main associated press have gone in there obviously a syndication agency so obviously that you know there copy that 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. but what's really going on in western ukraine particular with these nationals 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 minors 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. the president of the iranian academy of medical sciences has sent powerfully worded appeal to the u.n. secretary general over the reimposition of u.s. sanctions he describes how the lives of many patients in iran are in danger of sanctions of put off drug firms from working in the country we visited one cancer treatment center in tehran. i wasn't a rational man and 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're worried about the future and what will happen. on this is the second round of my chemotherapy off to 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 zero and 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. i. know when they impose sanctions on our banks the money cannot be transferred easily to

a foreign country in order to buy medication. that we're not allowed to bring in many devices 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. i. want to hear we have nine beds which are full every day in this health clinics with a sanctions just not able to respond to half a million patients. i don't have so see professor of political science calling cavell believes that washington's ultimate goal is to bring down the iranian government at any price. the united states is going to say we need iraq until all

its glory is it still is a louse and of course the arabian people will be harmed with any type of economic blockade the whole by the members of the administration the trump in this race is that this will cause the iranian people to rise up and overthrow the current government in iran so even though john bolton says regime change is not with us a sinking that is simply a euphemism because what he really wants to do is to bring down the current iranian government with economic pressure and economic sanctions. and stay with us this evening on off the international i'll be back with the latest news updates for you at midnight moscow time and often.
