the u.s. ramps up the pressure on iran designating its military force the revolutionary guard as a terrorist organization. the move is welcomed by israel's prime minister who is facing a tough election race on tuesday some see it as the latest to give. us leader recognized jerusalem and the golan heights as sovereign israeli territory. and italy's combative interior minister forms an alliance with right wing nationalist parties saying he aims to shake up the e.u. after next month's election.

by broadcasting live direct from our studios an. international i'm glad to have you with us all right in precedented in foreign policy move the trump administration has designated iran's revolutionary guard as a foreign terrorist organization u.s. secretary of state. announced the decision on monday repeating accusations that the elite force both finances and promotes terrorists today the united states is continuing to build its maximum pressure campaign against the iranian regime. i am announcing our intent to designate the islamic revolutionary guard corps including its good force as a foreign terrorist organization accordance with section two nineteen of the immigration and nationality act as a nation will take effect one week from today. earlier my colleague discussed these developments with our correspondents kim oppen in new york and post lear in tel

aviv still be the first time that we've seen the u.s. government designate part of another country's government as a terrorist organization now donald trump on the statement he accuses iran of being a state sponsor of terrorism financing promoting terrorism as a tool of state craft and we heard those words echoed by mike pompei o the u.s. secretary of state he said this designation of iran's islamic revolutionary guard corps as terrorists is intended to send a message to iranian leaders the leaders of iran are record piers 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 the money and his band of thugs that the united states is bringing all pressure to bear to stop the regimes behavior. we asked that are allies and partners around the world do the same in response to this

designation by the us government the iranian government has now declared the us central command in the us military to be terrorists and we've also heard from job he'd zarif the foreign minister of iran and he has spoken out and said this is another move by washington that could lead to further isolation of the united states netanyahu who have lung. disease nation of the g.c. fully understand its consequences for u.s. forces in the region in fact they seek to drag the us into a quagmire on its behalf. should maybe better than to be conned into a new the us disaster the troubled ministration has particularly distinguished itself by escalating into rhetoric against the islamic republic of iran distinguishing itself from the obama administration that presided over the p five plus one nuclear negotiations but the trumpet ministration has escalated u.s. sanctions and hostility toward the islamic republic everywhere we go in the middle

east it's a red. spread death destruction and behind every problem is a ring and the world's leading state sponsor of terrorists of iran's leaders so this. death. and destruction now it's important to note that fighters from iran's islamic revolutionary guard corps were actually key in defeating the i still terrorists however this organization that was key in defeating the ice will die a terrorist organization and you know made great sacrifices in order to fight against i still has now been labeled itself as terrorists by the us government kind of thanks for lining up for us that's going to tel aviv now until the middle east correspondent. i guess those one happy will be a bottle of prime minister where you are basically one happy prime minister the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu he's hoping that this coming comes just hours before polls open here in israel. his election time says he has thanked the american president donald trump for these comments thank you my dear friend

president donald trump for your decision to declare iran's revolutionary guards a terrorist organization thank you for responding to another important request of mine which serves the interests of our countries and the countries of the region at the same time though netanyahu is facing tough competition not least of all from a strong military man many guns who is a former israeli defense forces chief now he has positioned himself on the same tip of the israeli political spectrum so he is appealing to those who want that and yahoo out of office he's talking about negotiations with the palestinians any sort also talking about limiting the number of times that an israeli prime minister can serve in office to two terms having said this netanyahu certainly has his own advantages not least of all his close relationship with the american president donald trump it was the close working relationship that saw the americans recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel that saw the americans move their embassy from

tel aviv to jerusalem also recognizing israeli sovereignty over the golan heights and now the latest figure netanyahu has kept is the americans declaring that the rainy and revolutionary guards are a terrorist organization for many years we failed to acknowledge the obvious the plain reality that israel's capital is jerusalem i will sign a presidential proclamation recognizing israel's sovereignty over the golan heights . the jokes of this movement encourages jewish people to leave the democrat party total disrespect republicans are waiting with open arms remember jerusalem u.s. embassy the horrible iran nuclear deal and yet despite the assistance that trump has certainly given netanyahu it is still unclear whether the income. when prime minister when he she makes sense these are the closest israeli elections in recent

history and also one of the dirtiest there's been a lot of bad mouthing of candidates and a smear campaign so it's certainly at this stage unpredictable as to who will come out tops at the end of tuesday. are u.s. secretary of state pompei ohio state of the trumps administration decision on iran's revolutionary guard was not meant to coincide with tuesday's elections in israel however the analysts we spoke to say the move will have an obvious impact on the vote. any move against the i.r.g.c. would mean reinvigorating terrorist groups like john nostra and iso or diana and now that the iraq upon the human is thinking of expelling u.s. army troops from iraq it seems that the us has declared a withdrawal from syria as well as sending the message to tehran that if the us is not given a share in the middle east then the us is ready to in alternative all over in the

meantime this seems to be also moved in support of the israeli premier trump has done anything for netanyahu and this is yet another move to show his fervent support strong support for netanyahu in the hole that netanyahu would reciprocate that and support trump in next year's elections there was so many gifts that president donated to benjamin ateneo before those elections that he's almost and over those of gifts those elections about and that the neo yes or no it's own rules the only issue at stake almost the only issue on the table and the almost the only show which is discussed. in a new era skeptic alliances uniting with the e.u. own within the e.u. zone borders with an interior minister much value to create a european spring comes with europe's parliamentary elections set for next month.

we are working towards building a new european genome which for me has become a nightmare. into focus families security environmental protection and the future of young 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 that will allow them to have some sort of powerhouse that we haven't seen from you are a 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 a 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 block 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 from last week that moving 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 could gain enough any peace to make a group of about a hundred and fifty any peace all from parties against multiculturalism immigration and against the e.u. as it currently stands. it is the technocrats in brussels driving europe into a ditch and we will declare war on them. the political forces in the brussels bubble want to put an end to 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 all 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 divide them for example we know that salvini from the league party has praised president putin very often he's called for the end of sanctions on russia but that's not the view from the governing people's party in poland 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 will be ineffective we need to cooperate on

key issues to strongly enforce our policy which is not possible with individual parties well if the polls all right and we all go and see a rise in the number of nationalist and populist parties from the right who are going to get seats in the election and they can form this essential super group this is going to entirely shake up politics in the. and as we know it's. switching gears now the death toll from clashes over control of the libyan capital tripoli has risen to fifty one including civilians the violence has been intensifying since thursday when forces loyal to general. launched an offensive aimed at seizing tripoli from the un backed government the united nations earlier called for a short ceasefire to allow for civilians to be evacuated but clashes continue now here is a video from the airport in tripoli where a military jet was seen launching an attack the shelling of the airport was condemned by the u.n.

as a serious violation of humanitarian law while libya's prime minister has accused the rebel general who backs a rival government in the eastern city of broke of attempting a coup both sides have targeted each other with air strikes now if you take a look at the situation libya has been divided since two thousand and eleven following the death of longtime leader moammar gadhafi the country is now divided split between the u.s. backed government here in tripoli in the west and of the rival government over in to broke in the east added to all of this there are also other militant groups active there including eisel now the international community they are deeply concerned over the recent escalation some including the united states have temporarily withdrawn their forces from the ground they say the situation is too dangerous and unpredictable washington has urged 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 mark shift in the position of the white house eight years ago. some are going off . to lead and he must leave. we came we saw that he died there showing the world you would get rid of a dictator i do you would choose freedom. thank god see. we're going to have has more on general haftar hours advance on tripoli and the international community's reaction. to the u.n. e.u. backed regime in libya the government of national accord g n a is fighting for its very life all but surrounded now by the army of their rival

government in red here led by general hafta disapprobation is aimed against all groups considered by the international community to be terrorists we have security council resolutions according to which these organizations are classified as terrorist groups where this military escalation game is a complete surprise to us garble it began with warmongering rhetoric from after which were the throwback to the days of dictatorship and told to a terrible ruler general hafta and his libyan national army on a roll storming toward the capital tripoli the desperate g.m.a. have ordered their armies meaning the various islamist 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 airstrikes and the u.n. is panicking. and the heavy heart. i still

hope would be possible for its lobby call from station in and out on tripoli 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 a 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 ax hanging over libya at the drop of a hat 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 the leader of the break way balkan state of kosovo has pledged loyalty to a nation but not the one you might expect more than after a short break this is r.t. international. breaks it count down on our. 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. 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 we're watching closely watching the hawks. proves that you don't need interest rates above zero you don't need capital you don't need savings you don't need. you don't need inflation breaks so people like united states are saying like well why can't we just be like if. this is our t. international and the prime minister of the breakaway balkan state of kosovo has seemingly pledged total loyalty to the us during an official visit to detroit

oppositions a similar to what the us stands for and those on the ground know it i am an american soldier on the ground. ramos. also told the media that washington must support kosovo in order to push back against russian influence in the balkans he is a staunch supporter of the us and nato and in march he even sacked a minister who was critical of the military alliance his actions in the former yugoslavia but despite his allegiance to the us what i did not catch maintains that cost of zero is fully sovereign and pursues its own policies political analyst nicola mccall bitch told us at the close of on premier's comments were revealing. kosovo is clearly us an american protectorate today and heard in ages telling the truth he is an american soldier and he even added executing orders so i think you

can be more clear that what his job is today and what coast of all represents the us and what it really is in the balkans today an american protectorate he wants to give the image of being an independent country don't forget that today kosovo is not recognized by seventh of humanity china doesn't recognize kosovo india russia. spain the vatican doesn't even recognize kosovo as an independent country so you try to fight for that but if the end you still remaining the puppet of the americans and he says that himself. british parliament has passed a bill requiring the prime minister to seek an extension to article fifty aimed at preventing the u.k. from crashing out of the e.u. without a deal on april twelfth the cooper led wind bill has already received royal assent from the queen making it officially the law this comes just as teresa mayes about to depart from brussels in order to ask leaders to further delay bragg's it until june thirtieth a professor of international politics at city university of london. david blunt

thinks that m.p.'s want to put more pressure on the prime minister. well tourism has already committed to going and asking for an extension right so it's really just the parliament trying to tie her hands to make sure that she follows through with what she's already promised and of course people are saying this might tie her hands too much but it seems like she has no option but to comply with this but it might be that the european union says well there's no reason for us to give you an extension they've said very clearly that they're not going to keep on extending just because teresa mayes asked us to give a good reason for them to it especially if they're still being hesitant about participating in the european parliamentary elections. as facebook continues its crusade against fake news web security researchers have revealed that the social media giant has failed to contain cyber crime on its platform they claim dozens of so-called cyber criminal flea markets operate openly trading stolen credit cards and data hacking tools and spam lists here's our tease don't quarter. zuckerberg is

certainly trying hard to repair his image after our year of facebook cyber scandals recently the company has once again proudly announced it's 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 as book of hollywood. stude that self moderation and self regulation hasn't worked in the form of 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 contents but they're never going to be able to cope with the sheer volume of content that we see of not only facebook many of the other social network platforms illegal credit cards are being offered on line child brides all sorts of

things there are many other forms of trafficking content that we really don't want to see and therefore they also need to be cracking down on illegal activity of some of their platforms. u.k.'s top general has produced a video castigating of the army and rightfully so following a sexual assault claim by a seventeen year old female soldier against six of her male colleagues but despite his noble goal the effect was a bit different than intended unfortunately there were at least a few critics on mine. please. i will say facts. where serious allegations. against members of the cult including allegations of the
