as a report. headlining right now in the u.s. from the pressure on iran designating to iran's elite military force the revolutionary guards as a terrorist organization. now moves welcomed by the israeli prime minister who is facing a tough race in his country's general election in twenty four hours from now some see it as donald trump's latest gift of netanyahu after the u.s. leader recognized jerusalem and the golan heights and israeli territory. also this hour period minister forms an alliance of right wing nationalist parties saying he aims to shake up the e.u. after next month's elections.

worldwide this is the international money called embrace a pm here in moscow area top stories in an unprecedented foreign policy move to trumpet ministration has designated iran's revolutionary guards as a foreign terrorist organization the us president announced the decision on monday repeating accusations that the elite force both finances and promotes terrorism. today i am formally announcing my administration's plan to designate iran's islamic revolutionary guard cool as the i own g c including its qods force as a foreign terrorist organization. across this kind of open in new york anomalies correspondent polis. what details were there regarding washington's designation. well this is the first time that a big part of another country's government has been designated as foreign terrorism as a foreign terrorist organization by the u.s. government now donald trump has said that iran is not only

a state sponsor of terrorism but that the islamic revolutionary guard corps actually participates promotes and finances terrorism as a stew a tool of statecraft now we've heard similar sentiments from mike pompei oh he said that this designation is to send a message to the iranian government this is mike bomb pale. the leaders of iran are record tears not revolutionaries the radio people deserve better than to be governed by this kind of hypocritical and corrupt officials with this designation we are sending a clear signal a clear message to iran's leaders. including his band of thugs that the united states is bringing all pressure to bear to stop the regimes behavior and we ask that our allies and partners around the world do this thing. now the foreign minister of iran job he'd zarif called on his government to designate the us

central command as a terrorist organization saying that u.s. forces in the middle east should be designated as terrorists if this label is then going to be put on the islamic revolutionary guard corps furthermore we now have heard. that zarif is basically saying that this is a disaster this is washington taking a move that will ultimately result in further eyes isolation of the united states i would take a listen. netanyahu who of. nation of the g.c. fully understand it's consequences for u.s. forces in the region in fact they seek to drive the u.s. into a quagmire on its behalf. should my bets have been to be conned into into the us to . now at this point the trumpet ministration is taking yet another move in distinguish it's in itself from its predecessor the obama administration which had negotiated with iran which had carried out the p five plus one nuclear deal and it

seems at this point the trump administration is very harshly escalating its rhetoric against iran the top administration has been harsh against iran it has pulled out of the nuclear deal let's review some of the trumpet ministrations rhetoric against the islamic republic. everywhere we go in the middle east it's a red. spread death destruction and behind every problem is are a the world's leading state sponsor of terrorists of iran's leaders so yes. death. and destruction. now it's important to note that a number of members of iran's islamic revolutionary guard corps were actually key in fighting against the i still terrorists in syria however at this point this organization the islamic revolutionary guard corps of iran that was key in defeating the i still terrorist is now being labeled terrorists by the united states. thanks for outlining that for us let's go to tel aviv now and talk to a middle east correspondent paula i guess there's one happy albeit

a bottle of prime minister where you are. this seventy one happy prime minister here the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu he's hoping that this comment that comes just hours before polls open here in israel will boost his election chances he has thanked the american president donald trump for these comments. now at the same time the israeli prime minister is facing tough competition not least of all from a former israeli defense forces chief a military man who is also positioned politically on the same to many guns the competition between the two has become quite intense in recent weeks particularly what gunns is pushing for monks other things is that the tenure and the amount of terms of office that an israeli prime minister serves does not exceed to how we have an attorney now who does have quite a lot of support up his sleeve

a lot of support that is given by not nice then the american president donald trump you need to remember that the two men each to coordinate the americans recognizing jerusalem as the israeli capital moving the israeli the american embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem also america recognizing israeli sovereignty over the golan heights and now we're hearing recognizing that the iranian revolutionary guards is being identified as a terrorist organization. for many years we failed to acknowledge the obvious the plain reality that israel. capital is jerusalem i will sign a presidential proclamation recognizing israel's sovereign right over the golan heights. digic siddhis movement encourages jewish people to leave the democrat party total disrespect republicans are waiting with open arms remember jerusalem u.s.

embassy a horrible iran you could deal the israeli elections on tuesday are one of the most closely contested in recent years there were also elections that see a lot of smear campaigns and bad mouthing that has been happening but certainly an election that all israelis have their eyes on as well as the international community. and even middling support is seen as something successful in knesset elections ok for now in tel aviv morgan in new york thanks for that. up more of the headline news than a new euro skeptic alliances uniting within the e.u. so borders with italian interior minister voting to create a european spring barely six weeks before europe parliamentary elections. we are working towards building a new european dream which for me has become a nightmare. into focus families work security environmental protection and the future of younger people will do it as an alternative movement. many people are

hoping they will gain a number of additional any peace in the european parliament and that one of them to have some sort of powerhouse that we haven't seen from euro skeptic parties in the past. as he was launching this cross party this year a skeptic party across europe today was talking about working towards common ideologies which is in this sense the defense of europe something they believe the european parliament hasn't done very well in the past and the polls are showing that they all likely to increase the number of seats that they hold at next month's european elections let's take a listen now to what else mathias salvini had to say today you'll not find any extremists or veterans at this table the only nostalgics are those in power in brussels today instead we're ready to build a new future this is the path to save europe because those who are seeking dream are the bureaucrats the bankers the do gooders who've been government for too long

so who are the key players in this particular bloc well today it was of course. with the league in italy but also the finns party were taking part alternative for germany and the danish people's party and we already know for the last week that the in the pens national rally here in france is also on board with this new idea has also been traversing across europe trying to get other politicians to join in as well reaching out to the hungary's viktor orban and also to politicians in spain the netherlands and elsewhere across europe so the vision he's put forward is that potential. they can get at least ten parties to join forces potentially up to twenty of the elections and they're hoping that they nothing weepies to make a group of about one hundred fifty. all from parties are they going to multiculturalism immigration and against the e.u.

as it currently stands. it is the technocrats who is driving europe into a ditch and we will declare war on the. us the political forces in the brussels bubble want to push him into christian culture for the not so secretive reason that if the masses of migrants and other cultures drive back christianity then along with christianity it will be possible to eliminate individual nations the language you use is the language of division is that what france wants not at all what divides friends is the massive influx of migrants so we know what joins them together what they call an interest so but what are the problems that they face going ahead well many of these parties don't agree on all issues and as such in previous european parliament that's meant that they haven't been able to join together to create one large group in fact they've small formed smaller groups which perhaps haven't had the power they would like to have there are issues such

as russia which for example we know that. the league has praised president putin very often he's called for the end of sanctions on russia but that's not the view from the government. let's also take a listen to what alternative the germany said some of the issues that they face. we are dealing with very different parties they all have identical or similar positions on migration policy but a very different in other areas we must find a common platform if we don't find it it will be ineffective we need to cooperate on key issues to strongly enforced. policy which is not possible with individual parties well if the polls all right are we all going see a rise in the number of nationalist and populist parties from the right. gets. all this essentially in the us me european sanctions this is going to.

shake up politics in the parliament as we know it. as facebook continues its crusade against fake news web security research has revealed that the social media giant has failed to contain a cyber crime on its platform they claim the dozens of so-called cyber criminal flea markets operate openly trading stolen credit card data i can tolls and spam list but mccourt has been investigated. zuckerberg is certainly trying hard to repair his image after a year of facebook cyber scandals recently the company has once again proudly announced its trashed thousands of pages connected to countries like iran and russia and all the while other activities often criminal have flown right under facebook's radar take this latest report by cyber security firm cisco tallow it claims to have uncovered seventy four groups in which over three hundred eighty thousand people have been trading stolen bank and credit information the firm calls

these groups criminal flea markets not only that but many of them said scam and hacker write in the name the researchers say these groups avoid detection because facebook apparently expects them to police themselves so far facebook has apparently relied on these communities to police themselves as a consequence of this a substantial number of cyber scammers have continued to proliferate and profit from illegal activities so how does such a blatant violations of facebook's policies continue to go undetected well they say they just need to be a bit more vigilant these groups violated our policies against spam and financial fraud. and we removed them we know we need to be more vigilant and we're investing heavily to fight this type of activity vigilance is certainly needed especially when facebook has failed to stop actual abuses of its platform last november a south sudanese girl was bought through facebook posts for ten thousand dollars

several cars and a few hundred cows admins took down the posts when they found out about them but that was after she was already sold so you'd think it's zuckerberg would get the hint that forced marriages might be a problem on his platform but new cases have surfaced as to nigerian girls were sold again with facebook as the medium of transaction so facebook has been having a hard time stopping forced marriages but they sure have done a good job curbing what they call fake news and the news that turns out to be fake mostly happens to challenge mainstream narratives of world events instead of child slavery and online scams it's iran venezuela and of course russian bots the picture becomes a lot clearer when priorities are understood facebook is facing a perfect storm where it's under pressure from all sides this book of value in this dude that self moderation and self regulation hasn't worked in the regulation

is required from the industry in the governments need to start to step up to take a role in defining what those regulations are going to be it has a number of human monitors that are seeking to moderate the platform and a lot of its content but they're never going to be able to cope with the sheer volume of content the. not only facebook but many of the other social network platforms illegal credit card to be no child brides all sorts of things there are many other forms of trafficking and. we really don't want to see and therefore they also need to be cracking down on illegal activity. you know without international in the way live reaction to donald trump designating runs a lead military. it's a terror group and we've got updates on the deadly violence gripping libya.

you know world's big partisan movie lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the bath 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.

back we'll return to our top story now donald trump's decision to list iran's revolutionary guard sounds a foreign terrorist organization the move it's already infuriated terror on and drawn praise from tel aviv going to go there live now and talk to journalist given lead to. however long this decision has been gestating in the pipeline to announce it a day before a knesset election is going to strike some people as a little suspicious. i don't know there were so many gifts the president donated to benjamin netanyahu before those elections that it's almost an overdose of gifts i'm not sure the last one will be perceived

in israel is something that will. change anything in the way that people who were involved in what is going to be on israeli voters' minds this time tomorrow then if this isn't going to help. look at those elections about an attorney oh yes or no it's almost the only issue at stake almost the only issue emotions are very high both their reactions those who believe in him go through believe he's a victim of the system those who believe that only him can secure the future of israel only him can stand visit the poutine and donald trump and other leaders of the world and look at them as an equal partner and those who believe that this man has created enough the image and should go home that's the only sure on the table i'm sure that just like many parliamentary elections it's domestic issues rather than foreign policy that tends to dictate where voters are

going to stick the cross on the ballot papers but it's hard not to imagine that there's a significant pocket of voters who won't find the golan heights decision the embassy decision and now this regarding iran as being something to boy than when they enter the polling stations tomorrow. yeah but in day rickly defects in a way that we can't measure domestic politics is because finally it shows that the way the euro is going is the way that brings israelis support from the united states this is something that voters might have in their mind but it will not be in their first priority. what about the wider implications of donald trump's decision today regarding the iranian revolutionary guards because so many hardliners in iran israel and the united states are inextricably linked how will iran respond to this will it take it out on the u.s. or take it out on israel. why not both it can do

both but by the end of the day i think it's a major mistake to push iran to the corner i think the world to head the goods agreement busy around which donald trump has violated and the influence of benjamin netanyahu in time will show where will it lead i think we were in much better position before this declaration making these declarations from the safety of the other side of the atlantic one thing i guess but what about the potential destabilizing effect in what is an already fragile region and has been for decades anyway. i don't see that we have a practical effect that you could see in the coming days or weeks or months. in terms of destabilizing because finally it's mainly a declaration which has a. practical meaning but not too much. revolutionary guard not

before perceived as the great friends of europe of the united states or great supporters of israel so i don't think the these changes dramatically the attitude power the iran it's just another stage in village of the rising iran and pushing iran to the corner there are those who believe that that's the way to change the regime in iran and there are those who believe that these my sushi run through the corner and iran might become even more extreme in jerusalem is a great watch on ok for now with the view from tel aviv thanks very much journalist gideon levy thanks for your time. thanks at least for. six militants have been killed in schools more injured in fighting near the libyan capital the violence has been intensifying since thursday when forces loyal to general khalifa haftar launched an offensive aimed at seizing tripoli from the u.s. backed government that the united nations that earlier called for a short ceasefire to allow for civilians to be evacuated to safety but clashes

continued despite that the organization says two thousand eight hundred people have fled the area libya's prime ministers accuse the rebel general who backs a rival government in the eastern city of tobruk of attempting a coup both sides have targeted each other with strikes. libya's been divided since twenty eleven and the after the death of the leader one market daffy the country is now split between the u.s. backed government in tripoli in the west and that rival government over into brooke in the east added to all this there are also other militant groups active there including i saw the international community is deeply concerned over the recent escalation as you might imagine of some including the united states have temporarily withdrawn their forces from the ground they say the situation is too dangerous and unpredictable washington such as the rebels to immediately halt the military action against the tripoli government insisting that the crisis can only be solved through diplomacy that represents a marked shift in the position of the white house eight years ago. paul martin of africa has lost legitimacy to lead and you must leave.

we came. you would get rid of a dictator. with more of the background now here's our senior correspondent what i guess they have. the u.n. backed regime in libya the government of national accord. is fighting for its very life all but surrounded now by the army of their rival government in red here led by general half disapprobation is all groups considered by the international community to be terrorists we have security council resolutions according to which these organizations

a class for it is terrorist groups where this military escalation game is a complete surprise to us it began with mongering run through it from hafter which were the throwback to the days of dictatorship and told her to rule general have to up and his libyan national. army on a roll storming toward the capital tripoli in the desperate g.m.a. have ordered their armies meaning the various easily missed and militia groups that supported the counterattack on all fronts they've given this last stand the name the volcano of rage it's chaos worse both sides a pounding each other with air strikes and the u.n. is panicking. and every heart. beat possible. bloody call from station in and. it's entirely possible that things will spiral out of all control the united states for

one is already preparing for just that we will continue to monitor conditions on the ground and assess the feasibility for renewed u.s. military presence i was appropriate it appears they have a plan and they have the aces u.s. military presence is an x. hanging over libya at the drop of a had to they can intervene again trouble is the last time they had a plan it ended in disaster turned libya into a failed state so here we are one nation two governments and countless fiefdoms gangs militias and sects a grand battle royale with a prize worth fighting for the winner gets one of the biggest oil reserves in the world and that's the way it looks from moscow for this hour thanks very much for
