iran's foreign minister. trump shameful pledging america's continued partnership with saudi arabia as the u.s. leadership is focused from the murder of journalist jamal khashoggi to fighting a perceived or. so ahead of the program the americans are losing their trust in

social media with a poll showing more than half think like facebook and twitter. a second person dies on hundred something. protests. against rising fuel prices. in the world this is r t international view with us this hour in the top story around reacted angrily to president trump reaffirming america's partnership with saudi arabia despite the brutal murder of dissident journalist jamal khashoggi in the saudi consulate in istanbul. attempted to shift the spotlight from who's to

blame for the killing to the fight against a perceived threat here's how the foreign ministry in tehran reacted. mr trump bizarrely devotes the first paragraph of his shameful statement on saudi atrocities to accusing iran of every sort of malfeasance he can think of perhaps who are also responsible for the california fires because we didn't help break the forests just like the fins do well just on the trumps white house statement titled standing with saudi arabia point the whole truth behind g.'s killing may never be known i think that action is already being taken and that saudi arabia remains a steadfast partner the very complex situation but. it is what it is if you look at a red just take a look at a red and you look at what they're doing they are a terrorist station right now we also need a counterbalance and israel the child also if we abandon saudi arabia it would be

a terrible mistake and i'm not going to tell a country that sending hundreds of billions of dollars and tell me do one thing very important thing the world right down so that they're not going to one hundred nine hundred fifty dollars a barrel right now right great i'm not going to roil the world economy and i'm not going to put the economy work our country by big bully. you know that aspect not heard in the particular clip aside from country iran and keeping oil prices in check trump also made it clear that major all arms deals with the saudis are another area that washington places great emphasis on. they're buying hundreds of millions of dollars worth of things from this gun if i say you don't want to take your bit to buy it with you because they will get the military

because of that they were brought here giant russia china would be very very happy . more world news this hour a second person is not known to have died amid days of mosse protests which spread across france the massacre was caused by rising fuel prices spurred by president mccollum's carbon tax hikes now demonstrators set toll booths on fire on a highway in the south east on choose the night elsewhere refineries key roads have been blocked causing major disruption over a quarter of a million people join the so-called yellow vest protest named after the high visibility jackets which motorists have to carry in their vehicles the demonstrations have spread nationwide over five hundred people have been injured including dozens of police officers our friends correspondent charlotte dubin skee takes a closer look at what the protesters are doing. i'm here just on the outskirts of ruin where as you can see behind me there are a group of around

a hundred yellow vests wearers these are the they've come out to protest against the high tax on carbon and so on fuels hate in france which is increased by more than twenty percent in the last year if you just take a look you'll see that there's another group over here and what they're trying to do these are trying to blockade roads around about slike this this is one of the main arteries that would go from blue on all the way to paris and as you can see they've brought some of the traffic to a relative cool some people have described it as operation a scald go the idea is bringing the traffic to as standstill or a cruel but nor actually completely blocking the roads one of the reasons that they've changed they tackled a lot when these protests started back on saturday four days ago they were actually trying to block the roads but that's caused them problems with the police so the idea here now is to bring the traffic to a snail cruel and to protest against not just the high price of fuel here in france

but also the high cost of living in france let's have a look back now at the protests over the last four days. was. sure. was. worth. the burning fires to keep themselves warm here you might be able to see there's a fire just in the background there and if we walk around this roundabout you're going to see that there's another point here this is also where they're trying to stop the traffic and then again through the in the distance they really have got this entirely covered and what they saying is that the president might call has said lots of things he said he's going to. coming to power he's going to make reforms he's going to change the french economy for the better but the people here

say there is no magic formula and so far corn hasn't brought in a magic formula let's have a listen to what the protesters themselves are saying we don't want this president and these governments to be used we don't want them anymore we want to change the system. responds with new laws every year every month that are worthless we have to say stop we are not cheap we have no choice. that's right and i spend the night here to show that grew in this together and that we're going to make it to the end we're going to make it we're going to make it we are going to make it we won't let go i'm here all night again the protest says hey say that they are all going to stay this is now the fourth day of the protests and they have set up some sort of camp a they giving out food and drinks and they saying they determine that they will dialogue with the government the president might call has said that he is prepared for dialogue but he hasn't said with whom and we've also heard from need to

christophe just today who said that he believes that the demands of the protesters incoherent these protests continuing across france fourth day now and we also know that there is a very big or at least that's how it is a big protest on saturday where the yellow vests will continue to cool for a reduction in the price of fuel and a reduction in the price of living here in france the rallies in the french capital as well around one hundred nurses gathered outside the health ministry on tuesday to protest the government's planned health care reform as they say their roles are being sidelined and want the importance of their work to be recognized they are particularly unhappy about two hundred million euro is being spent on the creation of fourth. medical assistant positions. say the money would be better spent elsewhere. protests and other french cities and putting more say on the.

when social networks burst into our lives millions embrace them really is a chance to give a global voice to anyone anywhere earning a reputation as platforms for free speech on democracy but it seems the tide of trust is turning for users. of concerns ranging from exploiting personal data to alleged censorship and indeed being in cahoots with governments. more than half of americans think social media is bad for democracy and free speech last year it was only forty three percent so that makes me wonder how bad it could get in the years to come who knows what scandals could follow baghdad against like the ones over the cambridge analytic up and google plus breaches and the pre smartphone era we couldn't even imagine protests against online media.

in theory what social media wants to be is their owners business after all they are competing private companies if you've got issues with one of them just switch to something else but facebook twitter you tube pinterest and instagram make up more than ninety seven percent of all social media web traffic in the u.s. by the way make it the big force and since to graham belongs to facebook they've pretty much mana plies the web and let's be honest they're not really competing since the formats are actually very different so it all came to the point mr zucker burke had to show up in congress you don't think you have a monopoly. certainly doesn't feel like that to me. or as the google man puts it you can switch to another engine with literally one click well some critics say the tech giants are not even good when it comes to jobs wages and

the health of new startups there's just a few companies that dominate the market boom of course you know in the case of facebook. you know some of the others they certainly have a significant amount of political and economic influence and it's causing a lot of havoc with traditional politics and traditional. economic business models so leave been able to successfully generate a lot of opposition. from those sectors of the. political sectors as well who feel they are there but danger by these new business models. the e.u. has already following some tech companies president trump's hinted he's up for door in that kind of whatever monopoly what about saying you don't look into it i have so many people saying that we are certainly looking at data trust and interests use but even if they do get officially labeled as monopolies the tech giants are more

than that they're in control of information that's become the new normal we often hear news of someone being banned suspended from social media platforms or some other kind of crackdown so that poll i showed you we should have seen it coming this growing opposition to tech companies you can see it everywhere it's beginning to occur political elites see it as a threat to the old line economic businesses see it as a threat there's a tax system issue here there's a public opinion issue it's surely a perfect storm coming together. more than a million people worldwide have joined a petition against palm oil production which in recent years has become cheap versatile alternative to other vegetable oils it's used in everything really from food cosmetics and even fuel there is concern about the muss of environmental cost in countries which produce that like indonesia.

we need to press on with battery research for plug in hybrid. and expand the use of clean diesel to diesel fuel and these technologies will help us be better stewards of the environment and they will help us to confront the serious challenge of global climate change.

that's something. no government wants to cripple an industry that's probably providing a lot of revenue. and you know if they are truly acting in a negative way toward their own people then shame on them and and i think they need to reconsider what they're doing these by. io fuels were an interesting experiment

i don't think they've proven to be the value that they are if you're talking about . from waste product that's one thing but to be growing crops to go into cars is just had some. real damaging effects that nobody expected. travel accommodation firm irby n.v. infuriated israel by removing certain listings we'll tell you all about it after story. after the break this is r t s national just coming up in fifteen minutes into.

what politicians do something. they put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president i'm sure. some want to. let you go right to be close it's like that before three in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters of the. city.

let's start in west coast where there is much needed rain on the way to california which is suffering its longest wildfire season in fifteen years it's also the deadliest the u.s. states ever suffered with eighty four people now known to have died. the schools control the sea with several of the statements on the wildfires and fear visited the town of paradise california calling up pleasure a couple of times each thing that comes out of his mouth he is easily the most flammable president us i should have been more weight to what i'm calling the argument you wouldn't have the fine was raking leaves i think i saw this in the south park episode again would

like him to stop with this raking stop. a climate change climate change in a climate change climate change and the changing climate change all the forests in every weekend does not stop climate change and those who deny that are definitely contributing to the tragedies there were no witnessing and move continue to witness . direct to them a jew weapons are real only governments have them and they're setting fires in california all government has turned against its people isn t. for setting the california wildfires. i don't think the political bickering is hindering anybody that is out there on the

front line trying to put this fire out what is ever cared for this kind of tragedy and the fact that so many people died and so much damage was done says well it should have been more prepared but they're putting out a fire it's really hard to spend time and money on preparation if you're putting fires out they just don't have enough resources to deal with the fire the big thirty percent is a private. so sixty percent of the forest is controlled by the federal government and it seems that the federal government is complaining about me. to another story generating a lot of interest today israel looks set to take on travel accommodation giant urbin be after the company removed home listings located in the contested west bank from its website or b m b s a's the move was done to political reasons in the disputed territory we concluded that we should remove listings in israeli settlements in the occupied west bank that are at the core of the dispute between

israelis and palestinians yes quite a few as well two hundred less things will be affected with the decision set to take effect in the coming days the move was welcomed by the palestinian administration which had previously asked the company to end its relationship with has really settlements israel condemned the decision calling it discriminatory. this decision is something completely unacceptable this is pure discrimination something that is taken only against jews that are living in jew day and sumeria this is actually a racist decision and more than that i do believe it is a double standard that is only taken against israel against jews that are living here in his room well we asked the general secretary of the palestinian national initiative on a former israeli army colonel for their views on ur b. and b.'s the session. the international law united nations resolutions say that settlements are illegal and they're out of themselves discriminatory because

they are built on stolen land from palestinians and that any relationship with these illegal settlements is a violation of international b. and b. just can stick and decision because they also realize that they will lose a lot because of the boycott campaign against them due to their violation of international law what is really a recist discriminatory is the system of apartheid that israel has created in the occupied palestinian territories which is favoring israelis to palestinians this should be a commercial company a commercial trading between. apartments and certain so their turn to be as a result of being cowards or pleasure being made by islamic jihad always i don't know what but if you look for a backward to the history of under semitism or the history of the glory the right of the jews to their homeland the biblical whole and of judea and samaria lo how

many christians are now angry about this this step this is an awful step being made against the story again fate. donald trump has been forced to defend his daughter of after it was revealed she used a private e-mail account for white house business furious democrats are on the warpath are demanding an investigation well it has whipped up a lot of the american mainstream as well but it's been pointed out that they leapt to the defense of hillary clinton when she was accused of saying. of are you kidding me right we really don't even know what the jury e-mailed story was something that. it was a mistake to do it the way she did it but it was way overblown every single republican at oak supports a hillary clinton that made her testify for eleven and

a half hours she wants now one demand to hear from the banca tromped on this subject. but. you just punted on secretary clinton she's mostly responsible but she had a boss who was the present united states where were the people you know top diplomats in other countries receiving these e-mails from you know if you're see a yahoo dot com or something like that saying wait a minute this can't possibly be an official missive from the secretary of state of the united states. in michael trump used a private e-mail to discuss government business. to trump used the personal e-mail accounts of son hundreds of e-mails about government business last year it stunned the bunker resign. you can't make this stuff up not often i'm going to the most corrupt chandigarh in the reef for two solid years some of them could become first

daughter above the law just like daddy disgusting all the senses. evocate treated more have because democrats are the media is controlled by democrats hillary mishandled classified information whereas the vodka wasn't on the job and transmitted some information using a personal e-mail she's claiming through lawyers that she did not transmit any classified material using her personal e-mail in contrast by february of two thousand and sixteen and we know in the f.b.i. vault that hillary had the f.b.i. knew she had hillary clinton had transferred to over two thousand e-mails that were caught mark classified while she was secretary of state two very different cases. it hasn't been the greatest last couple of weeks for the joe jones of the american stock exchange's poll during the quarter see of

a tech markets plunge making sense of it as much as one can it's been bust. it. was god but.

no one else seemed wrong why don't we all just don't all. get to shape out just they become educated and indeed from an equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. star was on the good ol dolly is what i was doing. when we got carried away here we care the music with us. we are here we were dragged here. by your love going to get rid of those who

are not go away we will not die quiet. real the hard work we do is the truth. comes on already has a significant portion of all us commerce something approaching twenty percent i guess their goal is to get fifty percent of all commerce in america it would be amazon commerce and they need artificial intelligence to do that an artificial intelligence needs data to run effectively so jeff bezos put the call out to all the cities and they said we may come to your town just give us all the data on all the people living in your town and we'll jump into our computers and our ai systems and by the way you don't get any. cracking gave americans a lot of new job opportunities i needed to come up here to make some money i

could make twenty five thousand dollars as a teacher or i could make fifty thousand dollars a year drove a truck story chose to drive a truck people rush to a small town in north dakota was among the rate of zero percent like gold rush is very very similar to a gold rush but this beautiful story ended with pollution and devastation. a lot of people have left here i don't know too many people here and just slow down too much they lost their jobs got laid off the american dream is changing that's not what it used to be. and it's a tough reality if you don't. like going to places like camp sundown to get for people that. they're like so they have hired . safe housing as they don't have to talk about what they go through with us because we understand our daughter katie was first diagnosed with

a very rare sun sensitive condition if i get sunburned i hear she does or she'll patients when they have problems with the walk to talk to some of the brains that are actually shrinking inside the stove gets thicker in the brain still small. the pain is indescribable it's feels like a really really bad chemical burn but it goes through your skin in your most slow down to the bone and there's no relief. so we're not sure this is just over.
