i. i. headlines an r.t. israeli tanks lined up along the gaza border after jets attacked for palestinian territory in response to alleged rocket fire. it comes as the u.s. officially recognized this israeli sovereignty over the golan heights a disputed area on the border with syria washington's move was immediately condemned by the u.n. he you and also the arab league also to come despite no collusion found between donald trump and russia by the investigation media hysteria isn't dying down in that let's not blame trump for making them suspicious in the first place also. i would like to congratulate the house for taking control of the government's

approach has been an abject failure and this house must now find a solution i know this is the deal with arsenal for control in parliament and seize breaks it from to resume a paving the way for alternatives to her divorce plan from the. fellow there six pm here in moscow you with r.t. international now the israeli army is stationed additional forces including tanks along the border with gaza that are bombed the palestinian terror on monday night in response to alleged rocket fire it comes despite how mass announcing an egyptian brokered cease fire on monday israel knocked out a number of high mastering sites in retaliation for an alleged rocket landing near tel aviv a civilian casualties have been reported from the israeli strike. but i could have sort of been able to yesterday i am i received

a call from the israeli army they said we had to evacuate the house because they wanted to bomb the building in front of it honey as office my children my wife my aunts and i were evacuated almost half an hour later the building was bombed one. well at this stage it's sort of like an informal cease fire hamas says they're not going to fire because they think there's a cease fire israel doesn't know anything about a cease fire in quotation marks that means that they're saying basically if you guys keep it quiet meaning i must keep it quiet israel is going to keep it quiet so for now there is an egypt since that basically got everybody to look away from the battlefield take a breather take a pause and each side is watching with the other side might do or not do you know there's a certain momentum now of quiet so maybe it's a lot of tough talk a lot of posturing everybody looking each other in the eye but as long as each hour stays quiet another hour of quiet follows we might be heading to more maybe

somewhat of a relaxation of tension rather than resuming of attacks when the exchange of fire this comes donald trump officially recognizes israeli sovereignty over the golan heights an area the u.n. says ok pide syrian territory it's more details. from spoke with me. well the international community has been somewhat pushed under the bus by this whole decision is the most vocal and this have been of course the arab countries the whole of arab league made public a joint statement condemning the decision really standing out a condemnation by saudi arabia for instance you know washington's bestie in the gulf so it kind of tells the scale of the fallout this this trump's decision has had to also has condemned the move russia voiced its concerns in regards to the stability of the middle east because moscow believes that such a decision by trump really undermines that so also world syria of course it's

a very it's their territories that's how the international community that's how the u.n. sees the golan heights is a syrian territory the u.s. policy on golan is reflected in the relevant resolutions of the security council and that policy has not changed near opinion in line with international law does not recognize israel sovereignty over to territories occupied by israel since june one thousand nine hundred sixty seven including the golan heights and does not consider them to be part of israel's territory i suppose we need to understand what exactly is at stake in the current absolutely absolutely the golan heights is a strip of land on the border between syria and israel back in the eighty's in the course of a war it was occupied by israel and that is how it is classified internationally that's how un puts it that it is a syrian territory or by israel. i

know joe that a lot of the story. we who live in the occupied golan heights we dismissed the u.s. president's foolish recognition of the territory as israeli we want to tell him our fathers and grandfathers build their blood on this land and you don't have a right to do that yesterday it was jerusalem holiday and the golan heights and tomorrow it might be another syrian territory. trump loves israel and wants to give the same thing we should give what's his to give not what belongs to someone else

he has fifty one states he can give israel want to with them but the golan heights and not his property they are not his to give away now not the entirety of the golan heights is de facto under the control of israel there's a small portion of it that is still under damascus is control and i was lucky enough to visit that back last year back in twenty eight scene and really was something of a turnaround moment i think for that part of the golan heights because when i went there it was mere weeks after the syrian army and the russian jets liberated that area from the control of i saw there were certain pockets of islamic state there like dane for instance we have heard the opposing views obviously to chance decision from the international community what about israel though surely this is the best they could hope for indeed for israel it is the best outcome but i go out

on a limb and say i can name one person who's particularly happened the things are shaping out as the and that is the prime minister benjamin netanyahu because he's facing elections in a couple of weeks and in the run up to these elections he's been embroiled in a massive nasty corruption scandal now that he's thrown effectively these thrown a bone to all those in israel sharing the nationalist ten. he not only has jerusalem recognized by the united states as the capital of israel but also he now has the golan heights. ok we can get the thoughts now of dr side political say she only g professor at the american university in cairo cairo in egypt and he's with us now you very welcome. what will the u.s. recognition of the golan heights maine for the region g. think. it would to previous violations of international law you envisage lucian's if you remember

president obama himself in his campaign for election criticized a previous american policy. intervention in the area that led to streets in libya in iraq in syria and now they are repeating the same mistakes what they are sending to sending a message that international law is not respected in this area so there will be a reaction to action i can see from the social media. radical of leaving the west and blaming all of regimes so there will be more instability in the area because of this issue and everybody is saying there is obvious possible why the field even if you look at the communications coming for syrian opposition they are blaming him and so i don't think that you will have a consolation i think washington also did not want to grant them ask us any

sense of. pure victory the almost wanted to tarnish the victory of. again this opposition now do you think something. you know in practice it would not make a difference already is there if there is not if you want. and there was. a poor old. internationally but nothing happens they want to apply use brute force applied and then when you get our actual symbol of today from terrorism or from instability in the area don't blame the us you have to blame yourself for what you are doing in the area what you think other motives could be them for america to take this need to think it has something to do with the israeli elections that coming up. is there any election is one thing but also. the so-called the deal of the century all the slap of the century they have tested the area and just the stomach world when do

you move the embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem in violation of international law and b. try to gauge what would be the reaction and they found that it was it was look was fifty seven muslim states of very much divided that when people are upset the. having sort of civil war inside they are so busy with their own problems they give lip service they give statements here and there but it has not been slipping into real policies like boycotting american forces although clashing by american weapons or anything of that sort that would really hurt the american political establishment but nothing and that's why they felt that why bill to go for a second step like that and not show any respect to their political community toward the world or. organization so what can i do i should to stop so they did it and i take your point that let's just listen to what secretary said the u.s.

secretary of state in terms of justifying the millions let's listen. saddened by that but not surprised i remember the jerusalem of our embassy as well in each case we're simply recognizing facts on the ground and the reality and doing the right thing we hope those nations will join us to understand how important it is how right it is. and we are continuing to have conversations with you mentioned a handful of countries with each of them about this issue about our decision and why we believe this is fundamentally the right decision but i just quickly your reaction to that because some people are saying look there are double standards here if you look at the non-recognition of realities on the ground such as in crimea for example. exactly acquiring territory by force is illegal internationally and this had been the case since one thousand nine hundred sixty seven war. occupied the golan heights so i cannot come

in two thousand and nineteen i try to erase all those whose allusion because you are sending a message to all of us and the world don't forget about international law forget about the students they are all hypocrites and they will lock do anything let's go and fight so we will have more instability in the area. action to war what the americans are doing which is we have all of have been criticizing before but now they are doing what they had been criticizing all the time look we're going to leave it there but it's a really good it'll have a stop to sightsee the political sociology professor at the american university in cairo thank you. i mean mark donald trump has hinted that there will be payback for those who spread allegations of collusion with russia claims that were exposed is false after a two year price. there are a lot of people out there that have done some very very evil things very bad things

i would say trees are just things against our country those people. will certainly be looked at and i have been looking at them for a long time and i'm saying why haven't they been looked at they lied to congress many of them you know who they are we can never ever let this happen to another president again but only a summary of reports into collusion has been published democrats in the media that and i'm demanding to see the whole thing for two and a half years u.s. media has given lots of airtime to the infamous russia gate allegations an online media no less than t.v. one study showed over five hundred thirty thousand articles on trump russia collusion allegations or the moeller probe have gone online since the probe was launched in two thousand and seventeen but now according to the report from special counsel robert muller it was all for nothing no collusion took place so why did the

us media run so long with something that turned out to be a total red herring well some voices blame trump for it they say that it's his fault the media went with the story for so long why did donald trump and why did his administration and why did everybody close to him lie about contacts they had with russia throughout the course of the campaign why did he say that he believes putin over the intelligence community why did he talk about leaving nato things that put our national security at jeopardy why doesn't he release his tax returns some say that it's just a cover up that william barr the u.s. attorney general is protecting donald trump attorney general barr who addition for his role with an open memorandum suggesting that it was almost impossible for any president to commit obstruction of justice and seize the head of the executive branch made a decision about that evidence in under forty eight hours given mr. there is public record of bias against the special counsel's inquiry he's not

a new true observer and is not in a position to make objective determinations about the report now some voices are saying that two years twenty five million dollars and three thousand subpoenas just aren't enough they say that if you keep looking you can find collusion because it's there because we say so trust in his prosecutorial judgment but that doesn't mean of course that there isn't compelling and incriminating evidence that should be shared with the american people this president has a way of trying to get into people's heads and indoctrinate them he's been saying no collusion no collusion no collusion he does this all the time this is not the end of anything now you might think that the media was to blame after all they kept this story in the headlines for so long examining every unproven rumor however certain voices are saying that they did nothing wrong and should be praised for their work i think we've done the media the press has done one of the great reporting jobs in the history especially of covering

a presidency by the most news organizations some media outlets did so well they were honored with a pulitzer prize for. relentlessly reported coverage in the public interest that dramatically further the nation's understanding of russian interference in the twenty sixteen presidential election and its connections to the trump campaign the president elect's transition team and his eventual administration from once told the media that apologizing can be a great thing when you're simply wrong whether or not they'll heed his advice remains to be seen nobody wants to hear this but the news that special prosecutor robert miller is headed home without issuing new challenges is a death blow for the reputation of the american news media nothing trump is accused of from now on by the press would be believed by huge chunks of the population to stand it who is denying everything keep going. tell you were right all along never admit that you either lied or made

a mistake. or. based your your judgment on beliefs and opinions rather than on fact the mainstream media has a long history particularly over the past couple of decades of not admitting guilt we're seeing it with this immigration of the media we're also just seeing the disintegration of professional politics in the united states at this stage and in many countries around the world. now in other news there have been scenes of panic at caesarian airport in central to after a police officer fired shots at a colleague before reportedly trying to commit suicide both men have been taken to hospital according to local media the officers reportedly work for airport security the city airport operates both civilian flights and hosts and their force base team you can follow the latest on this story at a dot com. now china and france have been pending big contract after

talks in paris we'll have a look at that story and what they've agreed on exactly just after the break. you know world of big. logs and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that made stream media refuses to tell more than we need to be smart we need to stop slamming the door. and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. manufacture consent to public wealth. when the ruling classes

project themselves. in the frame of. the one percent. we can all middle of the room. new. french president a man your macro is hosting his chinese counterpart in paris at the moment it is the last leg of seizing things three nation european tour which has seen him stop off in italy and also monaco well on monday france and china signed fifteen multi-billion your ideals but using more by three hundred planes for some thirty billion euros in china would also lift its embargo on french poultry exports

imposed after an outbreak of bird flu in france with more from the french capital is medina course of. china's president has been touring europe this past week his official visit to france has just ended and it seems it went better than many expected. signed contracts worth billions of euros including a thirty billion euro air bus deal alone and right after the negotiations the french president aminu in mcallen called for a strong europe china partnership. corporation is more beneficial than confrontation and we have more to gain from being open and closed the partnership between the e.u. and china must serve as an example of how to achieve tongil results another focus is the need to strengthen dogs in order to establish a shared vision of a future not sort of the words of the french president to contradict rather noticeably what he said before when he called on his the european allies to stick

to a more conciliatory to approach towards china he even called it a systemic rival and a war into over china's growing influence and europe and we had a very important discussion about china and i welcome this european awakening since the beginning of my monday a call for genuine awareness of the defense of european sovereignty. the time of european i even see has ended. we've put ourselves in a situation where chinese investment has taken of a strategic assets and infrastructure i think that was a mistake china's president arrived to france from and city has another rather successful visit as agreed to become the first g seven nation to sign up to china's road and belt initiative which is a global infrastructure project it's a nice participation in that particular project provoked a lot of controversy among its western allies and the specially its partner on the other side of the atlantic the u.s.

so while european countries were rather skeptical before the visit now it seems they've turned their opinions around towards china. now in a move that is unprecedented british m.p.'s have voted to seize control of the parliamentary agenda in a bid to take over breaks in negotiations from to resume a this comes as a new blow to the embattled u.k. prime minister he's facing growing calls to step down three ministers have now resigned in the wake of the vote adding to the long list of the parts is from her cabinet. i would like to congratulate the house for taking control of the government's approach has been an abject failure and this house must now find a solution this house says he defines you we forwards when the government has us field to provide leadership over the folks so just now this was a constitutional innovation i think you may have just rather underestimated the fact is in fact it is

a constitutional revolution and the house. where this government has failed this house must and i believe will succeed i will for control the government was ultimately defeated by and pays in westminster who will now have a greater say over the next steps of breaks it and that includes a vote on alternatives to to reason may's withdrawal agreement professor of european law francesco says that the prime minister has badly mishandled it. i think this is really the final or it should be the final nail in the coffin i hate to use that term of the government strategy it's failed parliament including lots of conservatives have decided that the way the government has been dealing with this from the prime minister in particular has led nowhere but the immediate challenge that has to be confronted it's twofold one will we

participate in european elections because there's no way we're going to be leaving by the twenty second of may god man. the government's going to deal with what paul meant us to do so that the status you and then of course the second issue is will the government has the prime minister. and i sat here now at the time to get plenty of stories to you at our website at. the tense situation in venezuela is still all over the news the problem in venezuela is not that socialism has been poorly implemented but that socialism has been faithfully implemented for inside venezuela things move different we're going to announce sanctions against petroleum to venezuela associate the famous would

have a son of a moment to think that absent that protocol that it assumes that the path to the magic of the moment the focus of the whose story isn't new makes him cold in henry kissinger to tell him that it would not be tolerated that in latin america an alternative economic and social system could take hold and therefore the policy would be to make the chilean economy scream so want so now making the economy of venezuela screed. kind of financial survival job about money laundering first to visit this question just a different. good it's a good start well we have our three banks all set up here maybe something in europe something in america something overseas in the cayman islands or do we do all these

banks are complicit in their tough talk received a soft goal and say hey i'm ready to do some serious money laundering ok let's see how we did while we've got a nice luxury watch for max and for stacy oh beautiful jewelry how about. luxury automobile for max you know what money laundering is highly illegal to be a close watch guys record. focus is going on the phone lines smoke i don't like an incident made in the muslim on muslim couple in bloomfield themselves the sun was setting it up. it's. a lot of fun at all but just that they get nothing.

she was you make a. choice i just. don't bombard from the sun on my most books to go to the british course that's enough of them stop. me they got. to. say ok. i didn't think the numbers mean something they've mastered us with over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crime happens each day. eighty five percent of global wealth he longs to be ultra rich he puts six percent in little market goes thirty percent some with one hundred five hundred three first second first second and fifth when he rose to twenty thousand dollars. china's

building two point one billion dollars a i industrial park but don't let the numbers over. the only number you need to remember is one one business show you know for the mid one and only boom but. a lot of welcome to well to part of the an event full of wrapping up of the miller investigation may have cleared the american president of treason and collusion allegations but certainly not of his critics determination to get rid of him is

american system still capable of anything settling the ideological scores to discuss that i'm now joined by its hog. a best selling author and management consultant says it's a great pleasure talking to you know person thank you very much for your time i'm happy to be here now as i was watching the coverage of the reports what struck me is that some people on the american left seem to be. just as traumatized by trying not being fallen to be in america and every agent as they were traumatized by him being elected did it come as a shocker to you that after all he's not a puppet. i don't think that people really believed that he was that. look at the cover. listen. to. the do think this is so throw the but. russian spy the

president of the united states he's so far fetched that they don't feel that their relations. i think that the middle. is a very good sign of the strength of the american system because in spite of all the pressures for him to. trump the routine as much as possible he gave it real honest i thought it was also a very interesting window into the american psyche. because i mean to as russians the idea that we could somehow not just influence but put in the american president into the white house it was absolutely unimaginable is the united states really so emotionally volatile as it as it comes across on the.
