i would have you choosing in this monday welcome to the international on colorado moscow huge room with the world update this hour 1st for you this hour human rights organizations and the media urging the saudi government not to execute a teenage boy for among other alleged crimes taking part in anti-government rallies some of the offenses go back to when he was just 10 and while activists sound the alarm over what they call a grossly unfair trial saskia taylor looks so why washington may have turned a blind eye. this is not a job career as he is now 18 years old and on trial in saudi arabia and this is him at the time of his alleged crime on a bike in his hometown and with the 2 other children cycling around as part of an anti-government rally he was 10 years old with a job he spent the last 4 years in jail some of them and saw that she confinement

the saudi authorities say he's confessed but the teenager denies this claiming he was forced into an admission of guilt off to hours of torture riyadh's decision to sentence him to death is on surprisingly not going down well ridiculous exercise or brutality of starvation state authoritarianism and other human right. abuse case the prosecutor in quite a racist case is not only calling for the death penalty but for his body to be crucified or dismembered afterwards here's a chain year old kid riding his bike and somehow this is a capital offense now he'd be forgiven if you'll experiencing some deja vu remember all the indignation over lost his assassination of john this jamal khashoggi the media allege the crown prince was complicit in his murder something the kingdom need to noise politicians called for immediate sanctions against riyadh and human rights groups blasted the kingdom's constant violations of well human rights but do

you remember how it and did it i call the game i like the king. i should king. defending you king and you have a lot of money. yep you guessed it minutely contracts to the tune of billions of dollars not of course for getting the millions of 1000 having to american shores every day everything made sense for trump and in fact it seems the case actually helped him dip into the saudi coffers they buy a lot from us $450000000000.00 that you know you have people wanting to cut off saudi arabia they've bought $450000000000.00 i don't want to lose them so where are we now on the one hand trumps administration has just will thrive a top american defense fund called raytheon to couple with the saudis and build bomb parts in saudi arabia on the other hand the fate of

a minor facing the death penalty for challenging the saudi regime do we really need to 2nd guess what's next there is no pretense anymore of it being moral and the trump administration the us maybe it was worse when. prior administrations where they tried to pretend that what they were doing was the moral thing the. very clear he brags about the deals he strikes you know selling arms to the saudis we just turn a blind eye to the atrocities and that say well you know it's real politic we support saudi arabia because they're on our side trip is really very honest that he doesn't care about human lives the life of the show g. or any other person on death row or any other person who's about to be executed by acts of legal knees by the saudi royal family now to experience the look they by a lot of weapons from us is slated to go loot media hype about these new gruesome

executions i don't believe that the us government policy makers will change their orientation towards saudi arabia whatsoever this saudis are a cash cow for us that sense contractors so you really is a strategic ally on israel for the maintenance of the us control over their resource rich area called the middle east. to a picture perfect town in germany now that's in the spotlight ever the election of a new man the likely victory of a right wing candidate who has already won in the 1st round of voting essential claims all the way to hollywood and more if a motion in that report. welcome to girly wood this is how this little german town of gurlitz at the border with poland is sometimes referred to with hollywood teams frequent guests here not surprisingly look around me having survived the allied bombing raids hain war to its old town has retained a special atmosphere making it a perfect location for historical and war drama as members of the national

socialist party carving you're among the blockbusters filmed here in glorious bastards and here and so the grand budapest hotel boy in training. but some no fear that this traditionally left leaning town is about to undergo an inglorious shift and become germany's 1st to vote in may or from the alternative for germany party the energy candidate sebastian vettel f. 36 year old police commissioner picked up 36.4 percent of the vote in the 1st round and he has a serious chance of topping the candidates in the 2nd round runoff later this week now actors and directors both german and foreign are calling the locals here to avoid. the right don't give in to hate and hostility conflict and exclusion please vote wisely don't betray your convictions the moment someone claims to be

able to solve problems for you and for the businesses i personally think it's a good thing that the c.d.u. was finally voted out it never was and never will be good while they are in power. i don't really know but i think the previous government made too many mistakes. and no i don't think it's right i think the people of gurlitz a smart enough to decide for themselves i think that imposing someone else's opinion or example from america is unacceptable. it's typical for artists because they think differently they can also voice their opinions we live in a democratic country. everyone is free to express their thoughts. if they don't leave here then they shouldn't meddle in our local affairs so we do not tell others what to do what they can say anything specifically about the spot to. decide on its course so far they have no plan. on us and i wouldn't choose the anyway there is still ready nevertheless the elections are democratic this is everyone through them

they'll turn to for germany party candidate may be leading the polls right now but with 6 days to devote to the power of the film industries elite now involved the mayor race here him this town has itself become big screen material now if you know how to reporting from the town of gurlitz in eastern germany. thousands of videos are said to be taken down from you tube the video sharing giant is adopting new guidelines to ban certain groups from promoting themselves as superior with the move largely am to the likes of neo nazis but as our senior correspondent there i guess do you have explained it's not back to carter. you tube has again shuffled about it's hate speech and discrimination policy this follows a sidestep wark to some assaults and a back flip today we're taking another step in our hate speech policy by specifically prohibiting videos alleging that

a group is superior in order to justify discrimination segregation or exclusion based on qualities like age gender race cars to religion sexual orientation or veteran status if that was any more vague it might as well have been fog me store a cloud happens it's really that vague videos alleging a group is superior gosh according to that statement the hammer of politically correct judgment is about to fall and later other animal lovers that see dogs as superior to men. or in any way to saying i'm allergic to dogs but i'd still choose allergies over another man in my life i know i started out i love my don't suppress but couldn't imagine my life without my has was. always very of the me as i see it comparing an entire gender to

a dog could be taken as offensive by both sexes and all those in between and sexual but it does raise an interesting point who the hell are you tube facebook or twitter the platforms for people to chat on express themselves or they censors moral police responsible for how and what you say neither apparently all responsibility is yours and if you violate any of the incredibly vague rules you'll get banned no matter how funny you think it is chinese tourists are the worst tourists there say the truck we're going to hold. tours about all the travelers like please. they are here are 10 things russia excels at and does better than how we do it in america both consume a lot of vodka but as far as manufacturers the us hasn't really brought anything new to the game including adding flavor to it that was popular among russian

aristocracy before the us was even a country russians is better than americans that is like oh my god so racist someone call 911 dot youtube dot com bulletin feminist your next these eat. an objective observer can see that man's life is nothing but a kind of staggering control by his mother to control by his wife. women can both think and feel the same time man can. man can either think or feel it does sound too good to be true if they start enforcing their own policies no matter how vaguely well stop hearing about the best country in the world the freest country in the world the greatest country in the world if as they were feliz i'm proud of my mexican ancestry but i also am proud of my american

nationality how do i balance these 2 things super simple celebrate cinco de mayo because you are proud of your mexican heritage believe that it is mexico's independence day because you have american ness and. let's be honest you tube overlords didn't update their rules to take down america is great videos but given that the rules are now so ambiguous they can be used to take down anything what challenge even removed the political or controversial video stand or there i say it anything and she is stablish mint. the german for. the ministers describe tensions between iran and its adversaries is highly explosive and extremely serious high come out his comments come during an official visit to tehran where he's looking for ways of saving the 2050 nuclear deal which is on the verge of collapse germany's top diplomat has met with both his brainy and counterpart knowledge about

sorry for and with president hassan rouhani speaking to reporters earlier miles stressed in europe support for the agreement and promise that a payment system designed to bypass u.s. sanctions on iran will soon be ready. to avoid we want to feel our good days since we cannot work miracles try to avert the failure of the new. foreign minister's visit comes with less than a month until an iranian imposed deadline for compliance with a deal expires in early may iran suspended some of its commitments under the accord and called on the other signatories to shield it from the impact of u.s. sanctions thereby honoring their commitments the leadership in tehran has said on the 7th of july it will start high level your radio enrichment. over the past few weeks the u.s. has bolstered its military presence in the region sending a carrier strike group to the persian gulf it's also continuing to put immense financial pressure on the iranian leadership a policy that donald trump and repeatedly praised. to fail it is an illusion or one

of the shadows of the regime. but the sanctions are. extraordinary no. get some reaction from iran now we can talk to his audience a professor of political communication at the university of tehran professor welcome back to r.t. given iran's partial suspension of its commitments to the nuclear deal and its professed intention to resume high level uranium enrichment is there really much chance this deal can even be saved at this point. probably not. for about a year for europeans to do something and they haven't done much as you saw german foreign minister. now admitting they are not going to do what they need to do on the nuclear agreement the u.s. got out of the. europeans have been.

at least a year. this is among. the iranian leaders are saying it's. not. so i think you know. what about the way the foreign minister is handling this he's had some harsh words for the country's opponents this monday i'm just gonna take a quick listen to that. sure. the new tensions in our region are the result of the us waging an economic war against iran mr trump himself is an ounce of the us has launched an economic war against iran we have never started any wars and we will not do so however if another country starts a war with us they will not be the ones to finish it. professor how constructive those kind of comments and how accurate particularly given the accusations that iran has been destabilizing parts of the middle east. iran has been i think this is what president said when he was

a candidate in 2016. has been opposing u.s. foreign policy a lot of people believe that it's the us that's the. middle east i think what. was actually prevented they continue to fall apart what you done. was actually. from isis. what the u.s. is doing what u.s. allies are doing what the saudis are doing in yemen what they're doing to some of their neighbors. what they did in syria i think is what can be labeled as. a. kind of he knew that type of policy don't come to see for the middle east to just succumb to u.s. pressures. spawn's the u.s. is doing is. and i think there's a sense. will it be for iran to resume high level uranium enrichment next month and

if nothing changes we do expect the u.s. to react to all the saudis or israel for that matter. is a member of n.p.t. the nonproliferation treaty and as a member of n.p.t. iran can enrich uranium. allows its members to actually. reduce nuclear. energy and there is no limitation when you look at the text of n.p.t. it doesn't say you can enrich 10 percent 20 percent 50 percent there's no limitation the limitation is. reaching for a nuclear bomb and that is not what the don is trying to do enrichment is not prohibited under p.t. in fact you know it has the right to enrich uranium under. u.s. reaction has been quite negative obviously the united states does not want to see

that and have the capability of enriching uranium internally and that's not acceptable to you don based on n.p.t. text it's iran that is following the text what the u.s. is saying is not what you don't have supposed to do this i think the confrontation will continue it's a dangerous situation i think you may have a military confrontation sooner or later but the alternative is to capitulate to us precious and what you have. you done at least in the last 40 years is that the union leaders and many people you know are not going to just follow u.s. foreign policy their minds just because the u.s. government asks them to do so ok professors audit tara and university thanks very much for sharing your thoughts with us on the international. you're with a powerless president and a palm and in limbo we look at the political crisis engulfing one of europe's

smallest nations among all stories off the bright. you know world of big partisan modelers and conspiracy it's time. to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream. refuses to tell. me to be smart 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. seem wrong. to me but yet to say proud they become educated and engaged with equals betrayal.

when so many find themselves worlds apart. just a look for common ground. hello again a political crisis is unfolding in one of europe's smallest and poorest nations moldova's constitutional court has stripped the president of his powers and that has left his leadership and parliament in limbo a pro-democracy rally in the capital because america has been demanding a snap election and that leader in the dawn resign comes a crisis meeting was held on monday among officials a general election stalemate and failed coalition attempt the same the former

soviet republic tousling with the idea of following aspirations for the new election being touted by the outgoing prime minister could lead to a deadlock and also a violent backlash and a quick look at how moldova got to this point. 2 presidents no government and one huge miscalculation so how did a major political crisis in moved over develop in just a couple of days it all began when none of the major parties want to majority in february parliamentary elections. today is a very important day today there is a chance to change the situation in the republic of moldova which unfortunately in the recent years has been very difficult. the constitution requires a government to be formed within 3 months of the constitutional court certifying the result but the parties were unable to form a coalition 2 of them the pro russian party of socialist moldova and pro european aca melech true bloc managed to hammer out

a deal just before the june 8th deadline the newly formed coalition nominated maya sandu as prime minister and moved over in president ego daughter unhappily made the appointment but wait not so fast the constitutional court dissolved the new government claiming they missed the legal deadline by one. de that is because the court and coalition counted the 3 month period differently so the cool took the matter into its own hands calling for the dissolution of parliament and temporarily relieving president dawdle of these powers outgoing prime minister power who philip then took over as acting president announcing a snap election perhaps the most fascinating thing is that the e.u. and russia are united in condemning the court's actions it's already been dubbed the worst crisis yet in moved over politics and it looks like things are just beginning to heat up. so who's got interest in this and is there a way out of life now to eastern european politics professor mara marina from genoa university professor welcome to the program how far can this crisis in moldova go

if this power struggle continues and isn't resolved soon well they could say that it's a never ending story because it's not the 1st time and that. such kind of crisis and to in the recent years they found as a solution elections. and. many congress so we expect a debt to the next election yet seen the outcomes seen in the results of maybe an important and reasoning or he does mention it so since social situation as well is that the constitutional court overreach itself by blocking the coalition from forming. well this is we could see a political struggle which takes into consideration both the rule of the role and the just the cost to tional course the question so that that alliance which will so receives differently and and that the fragmentation so. the constitutional

court has to your power in comparison with that one image is the sure and except the jeep obviously it's not an immediate question so there's a situation about the war so it's similar in domestic and international or political crisis as well he goes it takes us into consideration the main cleavage that we can find index to see figure for the ticker and your political area the cleavage between the pro russian and corrupt e.u. forces would be resistance to having a coalition between a party that is pro e.u. and one that's progress because on paper it sounds evenly balanced in practice it sounds to me on workable. yes this was the 1st attempt and probably there were other stakeholders which will room which he did agree who didn't agree about just kind of her coalition it's an attempt of course and we will see there after the next the electoral results that there will be the same political situation and the

same attempted to be just such kind of progress 20 ssion and taking the situation back to derive the recent unicameral parliament and the only one $101.00 and isa so we will see it's very interesting the force of that is that it's related also to other pretty thorough and very interesting questions during other aspects of the political mess so there is also the question of. the transparency of elections and the kind of the level of rations and some of the specialist must be taking into consideration eggs and can determine and only found in comparison with what we can be our expectations. with russia on the both of the same to be on the same page over mulled over is there anything they can do to help solve this impasse. well the question of the term for him so russia is not i mean to be proved. there was also

if political debate and then he's talking about the presence of any relational war and their well you must media during the elections the last elections in moldova so i'm saying they detect it we are facing in the in the. countries. in that political area so if interest in trying to send these there is a general trend that kind of interest and which are the main. effects and just strategies of cool e.u. and russia governments there is a small nation but it's one that's being keenly want from a fall guy professor mario marina he's in european politics professor thanks very much for your time thank you. next an ancient turkish town with a centuries old history may be flooded well many archaeological sites are now risk turkey's about to start filling a huge reservoir in a southern town as part of a project that got underway in 2006 and said it will boost the country's economy
