in the morning here in moscow this choose the ninth of april very good morning for me kevin owen thanks for choosing out international for your world news update this hour then starting with the story the united states has designated iran's revolutionary guard as a foreign terrorist organization u.s. secretary of state confirmed president trumps decision on monday repeating accusations that the elite force both finances and promotes terrorism. the leaders of iran are racketeers not revolutionaries the iranian 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 malim is band of thugs that the united states is bringing all pressure to bear to stop the regime's outlaw behavior we ask that our allies and partners around the world do the same so this u.s. designation now puts economic and travel sanctions on the military group the

measures also cover organizations companies and individuals tied with it groups considered as iran's dominant military force in fighting against i.c.l. in syria and iraq caleb maupin has got more reaction and more detail today. will 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 in 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 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 just as the nation will take effect one week from today in response to this designation by the u.s. government the iranian government has now declared the us central command in the

u.s. 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 my bets have been to be conned into into 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 iran's the

world's leading state sponsor of terrorists of iran's leaders so as. death. and destruction however this organization that was key in defeating the ice will die as terrorist organization you know made great sacrifices in order to fight against i still has now been labeled itself as terrorists by the us government. meantime the move to recognize the revolutionary guards a terror group warmly welcomed by the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu 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. or just hours before polls opened in israel's general election we've been open for four hours now over six million people eligible to vote and more than ten thousand polling stations across the country and abroad bridges in from tel aviv have

a cue for me so there's still a long way to go to. be a closely fought election it seems in the area where there's a heck of a lot going on here looks at the front. there is something for everyone in the israeli elections there are more than fifty parties competing although only two have a real chance of forming the next government but because the likud party headed by prime minister benjamin netanyahu who fancies himself as a strongman among the successes he's talked about is getting his ally american president donald trump to recognize jerusalem as israel's capital to recognize israeli sovereignty of the golan heights and also to label iran's revolutionary guard as a terrorist organization but that's not enough for the prime minister just before the elections he was asked if he would consider and mixing territory in the west. yet we will go to the next stage in imposing israeli sovereignty in the west bank has made opponent is a centrist with

a distinguished military background for me israeli army chief binney gans he appeals to voters who feel that netanyahu has been in power for too long i think benjamin netanyahu has done a lot for the country he's served in probably close for more than two decades in thirteen years as a prime minister but is research. enough is enough whoever wins will bring little joy for palestinians israelis in general are listening trying to compromise on the issues particularly interesting enough when it comes to young people according to a poll by the israel democracy institute we asked israelis on the streets of tel aviv what's his appeal to young people who live in the ration is much more violent . in the relieve like in the extreme. everything is extreme newton young with that fear creates a lot of unique and unique to any. kind of a feeling of togetherness it's not so surprising that to me younger populations

there's a higher levels of support in the things i think i'm going to vote for many guns and yet i know it's way too much in controlling a too that's too much power and a lot of these really don't trust them in the minivan our i supply them thing your own cars i think tank and she's a successful now as it is. in the state of changes i don't know if i one day someone has to be those been several a geisha against the last several years and there's a very good chance this is going to end in prison in the next year except to take him in his own presidency as an achievement any significant achievements get a levy a columnist at the israeli newspaper ha'aretz breaks down news obs for us a bit wanting to. those elections are about an attorney oh yes or no it's almost the only issue at stake almost the only issue on the table and almost the only show

which is discussed and you know here emotions are very high their reactions those who believe in him go for believe he's a victim of the system go for believe that only him can secure the future of israel only him can stand visit the rabid new poutine and donald trump and other leaders of the world look at them as an equal partner and those who believe that this man has created enough damage and should go home the way the north and euro is going is the way that brings israel's support from the united states this is something the voters might have in their mind but it will not be in their first priority. so live news event happening right now what you're seeing there are people voting in tel aviv just one place out of hundreds where they cast their vote today it's one of the tightest tightest races for years will be across those exit polls anyone who's

got his fingers crossed he will be on track to become the longest serving leader there but it's not of course a done deal at all as the country want change does it want to keep the status quo such a lot of eyes looking on this because it is crucial we'll keep you up to date. u.k. government claims it's going to have the toughest internet laws in the world in a plan outlined in the online harms white paper it suggests penalizing or even blocking websites that fail to take potentially harmful content covering everything from child abuse to disinform ation next as polly boy who explains this tuesday morning there are fears that when this regulation there's also censorship. too much freedom can be dangerous that's the message from the u.k. government which has unveiled ambitious new plans to oversee the safest corner of the internet the country that's famous for bringing you mary poppins is aiming to be the world's best online nanny we're putting a legal duty of care on these companies to keep users safe and if they fail to do

so tossed punishments will be imposed. the era of social media firms regulating themselves is over it's time to do things differently it's time to keep our children safe so how is the british government going to make the u.k. the safest place to enjoy the net well for starters there are going to be some strict new rules any company that allows online interaction will be responsible for their users safety as well as the content that appears on their services in the most obvious examples that will mean purging illegal material related to terrorist and child sexual exploitation and abuse and if companies fail to clean up their act the likes of facebook and twitter will be put on the naughty step by a new independent regulator for the internet companies will face substantial fines for failing to pull down dangerous or extremist materials if the fines don't work

bosses of the offending firms could be liable to criminal prosecution and if that fails to web sites could be blocked entirely for u.k. internet users and that regulator should have teeth so we're going to consult not just on remedial notices on fines and that can be up to four percent of global turnover at the moment none of this is law yet they'll be twelve weeks of public consultation only after that draft legislation will be drawn are up but there are already concerns over the prospect of time. new regulations there's so much content out there that can just influence. well really anybody but especially the younger generation kids i would maybe disagree i think the internet is something which is open and it was a good thing that it was always open and not any form of government or whatever i

think it's probably a good idea i think there's not enough regulate. do i think that the internet music's regulation probably not it's and i can sort of thing to be owned by the people i think it's. a pretty good idea i think it's a good idea to have some protection in there but it depends how stringent and how close they are to every day stuff and then the government says it wants to remove what it calls harmful content but who will be the arbiter of what stays out up and what goes down so those social media companies will have to do two things first is to set out filters. to see just to show that they are doing whatever they can and you know to to prevent material that could potentially cause serious harm to young children a lot of people in the second they will have to act in a speedy manner to any request to remove such material. at the moment the

government is still deciding whether the job of regulating should fall on the shoulders of a new independent body or an existing one like broadcast regulator off kong and when it comes to the big social media fans well like students craving more stringent discipline facebook has tentatively welcomed the plan for greater and government oversight with a caveat or to. these a complex issues to get right and we'll look forward to working with the government and parliament to ensure new regulations are effective. the u.k. government says it wants to be a trailblazer but the question is how to implement stricter safety measures without restricting freedom of the internet some for two more in moscow timecode a quick break here but when we come by remaining wants help to stem the brain drain this testing of skilled workforce grubstake for better pay elsewhere in the new.

monster stories ahead good morning this is r.t. international. politicians to do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. for something i want. you to go right to be this is what the four korean people. interested always in the water. should.

get a crippling shortage of skilled workers in romania has prompted to join other small you nations now to condemn the bloke's freedom of movement policy as professionals leave the nations for better pay checks within the else where they're hitting the growth of the home countries shala doob and skis got more. fierce aspiring e.u. members the idea of joining the board is dream need european union membership of what they have in european states will also be present in macedonia can embrace

a completely new agenda today in order to meet deadlines catch up with their neighbors and join the group of countries still be the first not last in line to join the e.u. states on this new e.u. vision because we are the most europe music nation in europe but first some of the union's new comers the dream didn't quite get to realize. that adding to their wu's there is the crippling brain drain part of the so-called prize of being a member state is freedom of movement you can move and work with ever you won't see but according to remain here that comes at a price and when you know if you are the least one medium the service you keep the

only one but with people who do this the euro is much the same we think you can see this the procedure. of higher paid work is just too much it's not just romania that's suffering either hungry has also warned it's facing an exodus of well educated people to take in the higher paying jobs elsewhere in the e.u. it seems the brain drain is actually one of the biggest worries that some countries have it's a problem that needs solutions according to hungry second largest parliamentary party he'll pick. talented young people who are skilled who are educated in our country believe after the recent receive their university degrees and go to western europe to to search for better jobs and i think it is unacceptable that a doctor in hungary receives ten times less than a doctor in the in the u.k.

if that you want to have a future and it wants to be a stable economy and competitive on the global stage it has to eliminate those structural differences but as the e.u. expands further some countries might be asking whether they can really afford to be caught off the club so much even ski i see paris. world talking of which the another day on the brics it calendar meantime britain's parliament has passed a bill requiring the prime minister to seek yet another extension to exit the european union the move was aimed at preventing the u.k. from potentially crashing out of the block this coming friday without a deal mrs may is to meet chancellor angela merkel and french president emmanuel mark or later than to try and get their support for a delay now until june the thirtieth she's there in june in brussels for emergency summit on wednesday where they will go to

a vote it's almost three years go show thomas flown since the bricks at referendum are many in the u.k. have changed their mind and whether or not they should leave the union at all one town the town of boston just one hundred kilometers north of london is home to thousands of migrants from eastern european countries but then voted overwhelmingly to leave the e.u. so we went to see where the pendulum swings these days. i think we've already voted to leave so they should leave we have a vote we decide to leave stick to it. and let's get out now. displaced all they thought it jumps on the land and then use today the wife the city has these make it the jobs now we have no tradition and. we're not even set up right still should pay paul. respect. you know to drink in the story. time if you integrate in the community. or pay

your taxes so you try to you know get along with the others i think there shouldn't be any problems because we have people of the world we all put on we belong to each other we should help each other instead of like there's that in my thought isn't it will research fellow at the university of edinburgh mcnichol explains what's next them for breaks it now the prime minister is having to head to brussels once again . it's much more likely that. the rest of the want to keep the pressure on the u.k. government to make sure that if they are to be requesting an extension that there is some kind of purpose for it that there's a plan for watches are there to sort of the process in the commons and in the lords can go through the pending of these negotiations with the labor party go. to the date of the thirtieth of june is already being put out there so that's probably if the talks are going well that will probably be the case if there's nothing forthcoming from out there it wouldn't surprise me if there was a long extension was at least threatened to the rest of the conservative party to

let them vote for this rather than to possibly have no. the prime minister of the break where balkan state of kosovo is seemingly pledged total loyalty to the united states during official visit to detroit. oppositions a similar to what the us stands for and those on the ground know it's i am an american soldier on the ground influence in the balkans because from prime minister as a staunch supporter of the us and nato and in march even sat there with mr was critical of the military alliances actions of the former yugoslavia but despite the allegiance to the us he also maintains that kosovo is fully sovereign and pursues its own policies these days bit of a memory aid here if you need it kosovo is partially recognized and also partially disputed as a state it's unilaterally declared its independence from serbia in two thousand and eight after decades of bitter tensions between albanian serb communities in the region one political analysts we spoke to says america there was clearly these days

pulling the strings in kosovo. 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 does and you can recognize coastal works in and own country so you try to fight for that but. he still remaining the puppet of the americans and he says it himself heritage just coming to washington to suck up to washington and say we're still here we'll do whatever you want we want need or we want the european union we want to know you to know where you are best what is important is that whatever it is you're going to be doing over there we see that the point for him is to show that they will always be the servants of the americans in the balkans this is the most important point. the government in libya has condemned monday's airstrike on the airport in tripoli as a war crime forces led by general to leave after launched an offensive last week in

an attempt to try to seize control of the country's capital the seventy five year old general is an american citizen he defected from the libyan army in one thousand nine hundred seventy and form an opposition wing to overthrow the then leader colonel gadhafi three years later he fled to the us shortly after the national uprising against gadhafi back in twenty eleven have to then return to libya it is watching the whole show delves further into the general's background. in one thousand nine hundred six he joins the libyan military under king aegis he actually took part in the bloodless coup that you mentioned that brought the duffy to power three years later in one thousand nine hundred nine he rises through the ranks and eventually becomes a key commander in libya's conflict with the neighboring country chad so he's fighting for gadhafi as army at this time then in one thousand nine hundred seven he's taken prisoner by chad along with four hundred other troops and it's here that he connects with u.s. intelligence agents here in chad he actually defects from the libyan military and pledges loyalty to the national front for the salvation of libya which is this u.s.

cia saudi backed operation that's dedicated and planning to overthrow gadhafi he and his men are literally trained by the cia special activities division which is the cia's paramilitary arm in sabotage and these other guerrilla skills continues to train with the national front for the liberation of for the salvation excuse me of libya in rural virginia here very close to here in anticipation for another libyan cool attempt and are smarter audience members might notice this is quite close to cia headquarters so still having those ties there suddenly in twenty fourteen he's back challenging this u.n. backed libyan government in february he releases this video calling for a coup against gadhafi against excuse me against the u.n. backed government he rails against them for not doing enough to get rid of these islamist groups so his goal is now to get rid of these is the missed militias that he accuses of terrorizing libya and what's funny here is the u.s. response according to one former state department official quote everyone was like

is this a joke because he used to be a cia asset and now a sudden he's against the u.n. backed government so now at this point new america which is one of washington's think tanks says huffed are is threatening western interests and western media is kind of dismissing this as like oh this russian puppet this brutal dictators trying to make gains of course it's going to you know help them if they. try to like launch another offensive but at this point like they've taking key pieces of land when it comes to oil from the un backed government on the washington post as you know now saying oh the cia asset has become a u.s. headache in libya well in front of more just twenty five to twenty six minutes past eleven o'clock in the morning i'm kevin thanks for watching international.
