the french president. called for europe to reach. for me. yesterday combined with the long term. israeli defense minister resigned as the day after. the cease fire escalation.

around find it increasingly difficult to get life saving medication as washington post sanctions begin. a larger ukrainian some account where children are treated like young soldiers and trained by far right activists like russia. the burgeoning bromance between donald trump and among your micron is a 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 he's taken to his favorite platform twitter to lash out at his counterpart so that explains. let's take a look at some of the international headlines the bromance. in the bromance the saying that the for. and ship is come to an end that's what's being discussed

in the international papers here in france if you take a look here this is le parisien it's basically saying that trump is making fun of my corn and that's 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 and 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 u.s. 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. the 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 year a new clear record something that really riled president matt corn on it is a new one it was all proposals after the americans rooted. the agreement stock 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 will 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 much corn 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 on your to man believes that mccrone has been outplayed by trump boehner

trumped before to come to paris was. shocked and angry but the spark of these niggas she tactic. strong statements ignored or to make the spark notes take a different position on each works on the following day. just repeats what the average turns once from europe and he said we europeans should be spending more we didn't need to for our security he works for the united states once you got french president who was not strong enough to keep his own position. france is the only you have the weight being taken to task by washington you're some bastard to brussels 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. google sundin's warning to berlin comes

as a single american points out europe needs russian gas whether the us likes it or not . whether the gas we consume comes through the north stream or through grain or the turks stream the source is one and the same thing russia and europe almost be able to make itself independent from russian gas but what it can do is diversify its a lot and we spoke to ikea haim publisher of the the channel five business newsletter who says there are economic reasons behind germany's push for russian gas the american guest already a source with the l.a.p.d. liquid natural gas is far and spencer and there is really little need in. the liquid natural gas that we have got the natural gas transported here by our pipelines to germany or euro from russia although it could do they could

postpone it they could never stop that americans are quite charming with that they say well you know of course of course so that all those who oppose this let you start out get out of 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. and washington is ramping up the threats on an official visit to e.u. member hungary the u.s. energy secretary warned europe 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 dependency on russia it is not a problem because russia has never in history not fulfill its obligations its

cooperate so where should the fear come from if it is above it is about business the us is increasing or expanding their natural gas industry and therefore they want to have. they have not they don't know where this will work to where to exploit their gas. israel's defense minister has quit slamming his country's response to palestinian attacks as week on monday israeli fighter jets struck palestinian targets of the militants in gaza launched rockets and mortar shells and a door lieberman's resignation comes on reports of a defacto cease fire between palestinian armed groups and israel he planted the truce a surrender. if you look for me the cease fire deal breach yesterday combined with the long term deal with the mass is a surrender to terrorism there's no other word no other meaning. to terrorism and

sure more. and more residents of an israeli town on the border with gaza strongly oppose a ceasefire with hamas and claim the government is caving in to militant violence heavy cross border fire has killed one israeli and seven palestinians. a little while. we discuss the israeli defense ministers meet with mordechai kid from the big inside the center for strategic studies at israel's bar ilan universe thing he says lebanon's resignation will help him in the next election and. did what he did

because he heals the voices which come from the israeli strike usually he withdraws also from the coalition and this way and in time you know 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 way balck his own back if if you mean if i can say it and they decided that enough is enough is enough it might actually. bring him to a position which you would be better in the elections because people know what to do differently a good with more to do and this actually might play.

cards. in the coming elections. the un security council's hold an emergency meeting on the conflict with israeli representative and palestinian observer at loggerheads despite reports of a cease fire agreement 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 attacks and fires the result of this blockade which is immoral illegal and inhumane and we will continue to take any measures measures necessary to protect our people this round of violence was created as a result of a botched. desire easily military operation in the gaza strip it's very interesting for me to hear the israeli ambassador speak about the gaza 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. the president of the iranian academy of medical sciences a center peel to the u.n. secretary general over the rim. position of u.s. sanctions there describes how the lives of many patients in iran are in danger the sanctions have put off the drug firms from working in the country we visited one

cancer treatment center in tehran. my husband is a cancer patient and we are worried about his medication and their costs medication used to be available before but after the sanctions they have become more expensive andrea error 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. 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 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. motto doesn't here we have nine bets and shuffle every day into this house play takes with face sanctions are just not able to respond to hop a million patients. iran's foreign ministry has described to us national security advisor john bolton as

a chronic sadist with a long standing grudge against the iranians while the us secular state didn't hold back over to iran stance on sanctions the leadership has to make a decision that they want their people to eat they have to make a decision that they want to use their wealth to import medicine and not use their wealth to fund islamic extremism on pay later insisted washington has never slap sanctions on food or medicine and even accuse newsweek magazine of spreading fake news where they put his quote in a headline political scientist calling carvel believes that washington's ultimate goal is to bring down the iranian government at any price the united states is going to. iraq to all its glory will it allow of course the iranian people will be harmed with any type of economic blockade the whole by the members of the ministration trouble. is that this will cause the

iranian people to rise up and overthrow the car in iran so even the. regime change is with us seeking there is simply a euphemism because what he really wants to do is to bring their current right government with economic pressure and economic sanctions. well in two years since the u.k. referendum decision to leave the european union a draft at bragg's it deal has been presented and agreed on by teresa mayes cabinet . the choices before us were difficult particularly in relation to the northern ireland backstop but the collective decision of cap and it 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. on which i was a rich through this draft withdrawal agreement ladies and gentlemen. including the five articles three protocols and a series of things in this this is the draft in my hand here the draft agreement between the united kingdom and the european union. you'll notice. there are no more ingredient the why where that will be. why it is the new green so to speak. the talks between two reason why and how cabinet ministers we should go to last just three hours but it seems the prime minister faced more challenges than anticipated and only emerged following five hours to face the press the conditions of the draft five hundred page document haven't been published in full they're

likely to come during may statement to parliament tomorrow but while speaking to a piece earlier today the pm did offer a few details she said that it would end the freedom of movement allow the u.k. to take back control of its budget and laws as well as pullout of the fisheries and agricultural policies. the radio host believes cabinet support will not be enough to reason why. 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 stores are already coming out of that meeting and the draft proposal is now being published. evidently it was all right gun fight in there it went on for five hours i think there is back here at this moment but i believe she's toast i believe should be very lucky to get through the weekend and she won't get through this car through the commons anyway even if there isn't a leadership challenge. ukraine's far right freedom parties organize they some

account for children 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 in a patrol car story. now that's what i call a legit summer camp. oh you know about early morning wakeup calls. oh yes right by 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 good just what is good you know they can still live there it seems limitless new coal then that insists it but it used to know what it was sizzling he should post pickle fun things when one of manila's a few of his more sleep 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. of the us this. should make you. sell what if you will feel. so out of 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 bus. 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 practically 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 and last week the crimean vice prime minister said the country is trying to build a strong democracy where the kremlin supports populist nationalist movements journalist brian donald has been monitoring coverage of the ukraine conflict since it erupted four years ago believes 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 but 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 country. they're finally learning something about what's really going 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 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 new parliament has approved tougher rules on arms exports to authoritarianism after releasing a report that science a large number of european made weapons have ended up in the hands of 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 advanced scrupulous and lucrative business of deaths by european weapons document penned by german army peace have been alerting expresses shock over the volume of e.u. weaponry going to die it hurts far more to be done to stop export licenses that might be used to supply terrorists adding that more effective methods must be found to stop transfers. document also mention the u.s. arms deals in the middle east and the need to better controls and this might rather believe europe's right to be concerned about the spread of u.s. weaponry. i certainly think that drawing attention to it and mentioning the u.s. as a party was quite a good idea it's subtle it's very subtle but it certainly it draws attention to the

fact that the u.s. is frankly 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 another person of regimes in the middle east al-qaeda and isis and affiliates would be struggling to actually wage their walls of aggression in syria and iraq so yeah i think that part of the peace 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've they've been very cruel shrewd about it and they've actually. brought it to people's attention without specifically attacking the u.s. or its policy. your cities are being battling it out with the effects novellas on after it announced plans for a new secondary headquarters and everybody thinks having the mega corporation move

into town is a good thing it will open explains. the mega corporation an online retailer known as amazon is looking for a place for its second headquarters a competition of sorts began with cities across the country offering tax incentives and making cringing videos in the hopes of lowering them in i'm a proud amazon customer. called. amazon. amazon. sexy city that thinks outside the box. please join us. where should amazon locate h q two in fiscal texas so who wins the big prize of having amazon set up shop in their backyard well in a plot twist that's worthy of the bad reality t.v. . show there are now two big winners not just one the new offices will be in arlington virginia just across the river from washington d.c. and the new york city borough of queens now at this point jeff bezos the owner of

amazon is presenting himself as your friendly neighborhood billionaire the team did a great job selecting the sunny south and we look forward to becoming in the even bigger poets of these communities but not all new yorkers are exactly thrilled many are concerned the already high cost of living will increase and others worry that small businesses will suffer the newly elected democratic socialist congresswoman alexandria kazuo cortez is ready for battle amazon is a billion dollar company the idea that it will receive hundreds of millions of dollars in tax breaks at a time when i was subways crumbling and all communities need more investment not less is extremely concerning to residents here we decided to talk with some locals and see how they feel about amazon setting up shop i'm not happy about this i think i've read a lot of articles saying it's not great super excited about amazon continue and i think there are other cities that can use the extra job more to put their movie to

new work they do they're the ones that do the jobs i'm not sure what effect it would have on small businesses but i'm sure they'll try to print up the extra burden everything's already closed without them so it will be a lot harder let's not forget that new york state governor andrew cuomo promised to legally change his name if it would convince amazon to move in i'll change my name to his non-poor more in a time when talk of the low wages income inequality and money in politics is everywhere nothing is more reassuring to a frustrated public than seeing their elected officials grovel and big before huge multinational corporations. r.t. new york. they were hoping to swap the boulevards of paris for the streets of shanghai but us and. on a flight to china got rather more than i bargained for when they hopped on the plane.

i. love. her please. please the first time to say ok there is a couple if i respond or nine to. leave and

go back yes. i'll be back with updates for you and often i see that. join me every day. and i'll be speaking to the world of politics.
