a very warm welcome to you you're watching r.t. international with me nikki airing our top story this hour the united states has designated iran's revolutionary guard as a foreign terrorist organization u.s. secretary of state's mike pompei o confirmed president trumps decision on monday where petering accusations that the elite force both finances promotes terrorism. the leaders of iran are record here's 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 his 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 the u.s. designation puts economic and travel sanctions on the military group it also covers organizations companies and individuals tied to it the group is considered as

a wrongs dominants military force in fighting against iceland syria and iraq have more pins got more detail. 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 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 has continued 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 this designation will take effect one week from today in response to this designation by the us government the iranian government has now declared the us central command and 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 for whom of. 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 to 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 trump administration has escalated u.s. sanctions and hostility toward the islamic republic everywhere we go in the middle east it's a rare or ran around spread death destruction and chaos behind every problem is iran's the world's leading state sponsor of terrorists of iran's leaders so this.

death. and destruction however this organization that was key in defeating the ice still dyess. terrorist organization made great sacrifices in order to fight against i still has now been labeled itself as terrorists by the u.s. government the move to recognize the revolutionary guard as a terror group was welcomed by 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 trams decision came just hours before polls opened in israel's general election over six million people are eligible to vote and more than ten thousand polling stations across the country and abroad voter turnout as of now is reported a little over twenty five percent artie's paullus leader takes

a look at the frontrunners. 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 basically could party headed by prime minister benjamin netanyahu who fancies himself as a strongman among the successes he's talked at which is getting his ally american president donald trump to recognize jerusalem as israel's capital to recognize israeli sovereignty over the golan heights and to also 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. yes we will go to the next stage in imposing israeli sovereignty in the west bank has made opponent is the same tryst with a distinguished military background for me israeli army chief guns he appeals to voters who feel that netanyahu has been in power for too long i think benjamin attorney all have done a lot for the country he served in public life fall into decryption thirteen years

as a prime minister but his research enough is enough whoever wins will bring little joy for palestinians israelis in general are less inclined to compromise on the issue 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. generation is much more violent. and we leave like in the extreme everything is extreme nittany own with that fear creates a lot of unity and humility a. kind of a feeling of togetherness it's not so surprising that. younger populations there's a higher levels of support. for. many guns. i know it's way too much in control. to do. much power and got to be really don't

trust them a little relieved. i for one thing your own cause i think they can choose a successful now as it is and i'm afraid of changes i don't know if i one day someone has to be those been the several geisha against the last several years and those very good chances is going to end in prison in the next years except the faith in his own presidency as an achievement any significant achievements gideon levi a columnist at the israeli newspaper ha'aretz breaks down netanyahu is all this for us. those elections about an attorney oh yes or no it's all rules the only issue it's called was the only issue on the table and though it was the only sure choose discussed and you know your 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 he can secure the future of israel

only him can stand these of 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 damage and should go home the way the euro is going either way brings israel 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 it's one of the tightest races there for years will be across the exit polls later today as they start to come out incumbent benjamin netanyahu is believed to be said to be on track to become the longest serving leader but it's not done yet does the country want change all the status quo will keep you up to date here on r.t. international. b a k government claims is going to have the toughest internet laws in the world and a plan outlined in the online harms white paper it suggests penalizing or even

blocking websites that fail to take down potentially harmful content covering everything from child abuse to disinform ation but as polly boyko explains there are fears that when there's 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 in 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 you. 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 op but there are already concerns over the prospect of tough new regulations there's so much come to know that the can just influence. the really anybody but specially the younger generation kids i would 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 been. yeah i think this is enough regulate that i think it's. a pretty good idea i think it's a good idea to have some protection in that but it's plans how stringent and how close they are to every day stuff internet needs better regulation most definitely why. two three four one 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 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 mother 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 fams well like students craving more stringent discipline facebook has tentatively welcomed the plan for greater and

government oversight with a caveat or to. these are complex issues to get right and we look forward to working with the government and parliament to ensure the new regulations are effective the u.k. government says it wants to be a trailblazer but the question is how to implement strictest safety measures without restricting freedom of the internet. a crippling shortage of skilled workers in romania has prompted it to join other small nations to condemn the block's freedom of movement policy as professionals leave their nations for better paychecks within the e.u. they're hitting the growth of their home countries soldier bensky reports fierce sparring you members the idea of joining the four is really need european union membership if what they have in european states would also be present in macedonia can embrace a completely new agenda today in order to deadlines for their neighbors and join

the group of countries still be the first or not last in line to join the e.u. states on this new. 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 serialize. but adding to their wounds 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 what is it you want to see but according to remain here that comes at a price you know when you know if you were to list one media source of which you

keep the only one. well the evil of the euro is not the same we keep looking to see these the brazuca 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 its approval of that needs solutions according to hungary's second largest parliamentary party he'll pick are talented young people who are skilled who are educated in our country believe after their 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 a ten times less than

a doctor in the in the u.k. if what you want to have a future and if 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 part of the club challenge even ski altie paris. you appear in court of human rights has ruled that russia violated the rights of anticorruption campaign alexina valley in twenty fourteen by putting him under house arrest we've got more on that after the break.

break said calderon. join me every thursday on the alex i'm i'm sure and i'll be speaking together for the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you there. when almost chokes seem wrong why don't we all just don't all. get to shape our disdain comes to educate and in detroit equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.

welcome back the european courts are in a strong as ruled that russia violated the human rights of prominent opposition figure alexina valmy when he was posted to house arrest in twenty forty if you go live now to washington correspondent on quarter i don't know what's the reaction been to the court cases on the first time strasburg has ruled in favor of nirvana is it. well nicky this lawyer and political activist alex they know vali is the leader of the progressive party it's one of russia's main unofficial opposition parties in the country and the russian government put him under house arrest in two thousand and fourteen after he and his brother were suspected of theft and laundering money from a russian company called avril shea now according to his lawyer this strausberg court has demanded that the russian government pay him twenty over twenty thousand euros in reparations and he's already called it

a victory on social media. victory the european court of human rights has just acknowledged my house arrest in twenty fourteen was a legal violation of our schools five ten and eighteen of the human rights convention now moscow's already fired back at this court's decision against the russian government kremlin spokes person dmitri peskov gave an official statement where he said that the decision was certainly an intense subpoenaed. the decision is quite surprising i can see we expected it it's hard to grieve with its narrative. but this wasn't the first time that novell news had a run in with the russian authorities p. was actually barred from running for president in twenty eight team because of a previous fraud conviction and back in two thousand and sixteen e.c. h. r. ordered the russian government to pain of only over fifty six thousand euros in damages because of an earlier prison sentence for embezzlement now the russian

government stuck to its guns on that one of the nerve only claims that all of his previous charges were politically motivated so with the e.c. h. are again accusing the russian government of such activities moscow's course of action remains to be seen. ok don thanks for those details the authorities don't quarter their thank you. u.s. president has pledged to place tariffs worth eleven billion dollars on goods coming from the e.u. in response to the block subsidies for the european aerospace giant us for more on that the trump administration's plan let's cross live to pete all of us. peter good to see you can you talk us through the development. well yes these eleven billion dollars of terror now they're basically focused on a couple of main groups that could be split into aircraft and g.'s will get to exactly what could be could face an extra bump in price in just a moment but this is all part of these trade wars that donald trump has threatened

around the world he said he doesn't want to have them but you can hear when he says he doesn't want to have them he's certainly not afraid to back down from them we have seen this in the past particularly between the u.s. and china we had thought all of this was done and dusted between washington and brussels it certainly doesn't seem that way from the u.s. side right now that's according to the u.s. trade representative the group called the u. s. t. r. they're saying. it's going to be targeting certain markets they are saying the eleven billion dollars figure is subject to arbitration from the world trade organization and they say it's. a case that's been going on for fourteen years and they're expecting a result in the next few months now from the site they're saying that figure of eleven billion dollars is exaggerated but well are going to have to look out to see what the world trade organization comes up with now looking at what could be

targeted by these tariffs that could that would be cheese that as they mentioned before the likes of cheddar stilton rochefort of all being mentioned in this litigation lemons whether fresh or dried olive oil motorcycles if they fit between a certain. size of engine also this is probably one you would never of thought of but wall clocks wound wall clocks this don't take batteries those type of things i think in pretty much the traditional cuckoo clock they're they're going to be targeted by this on the well let's say the largest scale perhaps more serious front and probably where the bulk of this eleven billion dollars is coming from. that's going to be in aerospace you talking about helicopters coming from europe they're going to be subject to tariffs that this goes through undercarriage is for civilian aircraft also fuselages for luxury private planes they could all rocket up in price and now the root of this doesn't have anything to do with cheese or fuselages

it has its roots way back it last year in the steel in our mini i'm tariffs. the united states said that they were going to impose on europe now there was a big conference last summer between younker the european commission president and the u.s. president donald trump where everything is seen to be kind of worked out there was a couple of million two point eight i think off the top of my head million euros worth of tariff that would be put on importing u.s. whiskey borgen into europe but it looked like that was pretty much that it certainly seems following on from this announcement from the u.s. side it certainly isn't over yet and it may well see a lot of different european products that americans may well see in their stores quite easily become quite used to seeing they may see them becoming quite a lot more expensive than their domestic options if the world trade organization

rules in the way the u.s. suggests they will or not but no doubt the getting more day reaction to it this story later in the day at peter thank you for those details that's peter oliver speaking to his life and. well as another clench down the brags that calendar britain's parliament has passed a bill requiring the prime ministers to seek yet another extension to exit the european union the move was aimed at preventing the u.k. from crashing out of the block without a deal on friday mrs may is to meet german chancellor angela merkel and french president emmanuel mccrum later to try and get their support for a delay until thirtieth of june she's then due in brussels for an emergency summit on wednesday where's that will go to the vote. well is almost three years since the brics that referendum and many in the u.k. have changed their mind on whether they should leave the union after all the town of boston just over one hundred kilometers north of london is home to thousands of migrants from eastern european countries back then it voted overwhelmingly to leave

the e.u. we went to see where the pendulum is now. the people already voted. so they should leave we have to vote we do so much to leave stick to it as best we can and let's get out. of its price thank you all with the jokes even on the line that made news today the wife used to have has these make it the job is now we have no tradition that we're not even set up right still for a case that offends pay paul. respect this. you know to drink in the story it's not safe to walk around especially not time if you integrate in the community don't work to 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 that we all don't we belong to each other we should help each other instead of like but if you take there's that. are such fellow at the university of edinburgh dr kevin

mcneil explains what's next for brags that another prime minister is heading 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 why either extending it and trace a maze always try to emphasize that these extensions are technical extensions are there to sort of the process in the commons and in the lords can go through the planning of these negotiations with the labor party go. to the end 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 keep let them vote for this rather than to possibly have no d. or no. well thanks to using r.t. international this hour we're back in thirty minutes with the latest to see that.

what politicians do. they put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or some want to. have to go right to the press this is what before three of them or can't be good. i'm interested always in the water how. should. i make more doogan is an outstanding person because he took on the most powerful agency in this county or you'll be to stay if you look at it from a book on knowledge and. mark was the day that when he was five and.

bad wolf. 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 so people like united states are saying like well why can't we just be like to.
