execute a teenage boy from alleged crimes taking part in antigovernment rallies some of the offenses go back to when he was aged 10 a model activists on the alarm over what they call a grossly unfair trial. takes a look at why washington may have turned a blind eye. this is more courageous 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 30 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 solitary confinement the saudi authorities say he's confessed but the teenager denies this claiming he was forced into an admission of guilt after 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 rights 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 you'd be forgiven if you're experiencing some deja vu with all the indignation over lost his assassination of saudi 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 candids constant violations of well human rights but do you remember how it and did i call the game i like the king. i should king.

defending you king and you have a lot of money. yeah you guessed it minute 3 contracts to the tune of billions of dollars not of course for getting the millions of dollars of oil heading to american shores every day everything made perfect sense the charm and in fact it seems the case actually helped him dip into the saudi cause. yes they buy a lot from us $450000000000.00 they bought you know he had people wanting to cut off saudi arabia they bought $450000000000.00 i don't want to lose i'm not so where are we now on the one hand trump's administration has just all through a top american defense fund called raytheon to couple with the saudis and build bomb parts and saudi arabia on the other hand the fate of a minor facing the death penalty for challenging the saudi regime to be reigning in 2nd gas what's next there is no pretense anymore of it being moral and of the trump

administration there you the u.s. used to maybe it was worse when their prior administrations where they tried to pretend that what they were doing was the moral thing that's been very clear he brags about the deals he strikes you know selling arms to the saudis we you know just turn a blind eye to the atrocities and that say well you know it's real politik we support the arabia because they're on our side is really very honest that he doesn't care about human lives the life of a show g. or any other person on death row or any other person who's about to be executed by accident legally and by the saudi royal family now to experience these as look they buy a lot of weapons from us it's made of gold media hype about these new gruesome executions i don't believe that the us government policy makers will change their orientation towards the radio whatsoever this early 0 cash out for us that since contractors so

you really is a strategic ally of israel in the me is the us control over that resource rich period called the middle east. part of us turn attention to a picture perfect on in germany which is in the spotlight over the election of a new america the likely victory of a right wing candidate who has already won the 1st round of voting has sent shock waves all the way to hollywood as maria financial reports. 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 card you're among the blockbusters filmed here inglorious basterds

and now it's a 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 mayor from the alternative for germany party the energy candidate sebastian vettel 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 on 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 as for me for this is 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 went too many mistakes to me and no i don't think it's right i think the people of gurlitz a smart enough to decipher themselves and 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 so. everyone is free to express their thoughts if they don't believe here then they shouldn't meddle in our local affairs so we do not tell others what to do and i can't say anything specifically about the spot to. decide on its course so far they have no plan that's the message i wouldn't choose the f.t. anyway there is steel 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 vote and the power of the film industry is elite now involved the mayor race here in this town has itself become big screen material life an ocean on our t.v. reporting from the town of gurlitz and it's in germany. speaking of things german the country's foreign minister has described tensions between iran and its adversaries as highly explosive and extremely serious says comments come during an official visit to tehran where he's seeking ways to save the 2015 nuclear deal which is on the verge of collapse germany's top diplomat met with both is really in country part mohamad. president hassan rouhani on monday speaking to the press earlier mass stressed europe support for the faltering agreement on promise that a payment system designed to bypass u.s. sanctions on iran will soon be ready the arabian foreign minister for his part had a stern warning for washington. the new tensions in our region as

a result of the u.s. waging an economic war against iran mr trump himself has announced that the u.s. is launching economic war against iran we have never started a new wars and we will not do so however if another country starts a war with they will not be the ones to finish it but we want to fulfill our obligations we cannot work miracles try to avert the failure of the nuclear deal. well the german foreign minister's visit comes with less than a month until the iranian imposed deadline for compliance with the nuclear deal expires in early may iran suspended some of its commitments under the accord and called in the other signatories to shield it from the impact of u.s. sanctions thereby honoring their commitments to iran has said that if nothing changes on the 7th of july it will resume high level your rhenium enrichment they had the un's atomic watchdog confirmed on monday that iran has already accelerated its enrichment of the fissile material well over the past number of weeks the u.s.

has bolstered its military presence in the persian gulf causing tensions with iran to soar it's also continuing to put a ments financial pressure on the iranian leadership a policy that donald trump was repeatedly praised. their failure is an illusion that i want to see those additional. turn of the earth. put the sanctions are. extraordinary how powerful that is. well analysts we've heard from told us european signatories to the deal simply haven't done enough to preserve it. of course the ukrainians are getting it. because they have respected their part of the apparently until now so they stopped saying if nobody cares we will stop again richmond you're right and so dynasty is because of course at that moment. the

americans would feel justified to do something so europe should be quicker if europe has to have its. functioning to satisfy the rate and have some companies benefit from it or benefiting from it to continue trading with european countries that's not. for you to do something and they haven't done much. agreement you've got a p 5 plus one so that. you have. remaining so you know. that these other countries would offset the fact that. in practice we haven't seen that you have seen the europeans they want to. force. basically following the us foreign policy. it's not. what any

politician in the. you know the. people and that's why i think they get him and his fate. right to another story generating a lot of debate thought missions of videos are said to be taken from you chub the video showing china is adopting new guidelines to bomb certain groups from promoting themselves as being for instance a pure ear with the move aimed at the likes of neo nazis but senior correspondent steve explains it's not clear cut. 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 judgement is about to fall and later other animal lovers that see dogs as superior to men. and to saying i'm allergic to dogs but i'd still choose allergies over another man in my life. than i love my i don't suppose that 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 that between and

sexually 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. the stores are the words tourists there say the traffic 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 us 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 controlled by his mother too controlled 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 daily why are fellas 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 tea is stablish meant. the. head of the u.n. mission in kosovo said the breakaway balkan republic's authorities are feeling to cooperate with an investigation into recent raids by cos of a special police during the operation which officials in the disputed territory say was designed to break up a smuggling ring to u.n. employees were detained in a predominantly serbian enclave in kosovo as north as a hero made the complaint

a un security council session came up and was following the meeting well at this point we saw the un security council convene to discuss the attacks on u.n. staffers that recently took place this took place in kosovo when the police were raiding a serbian populated regions now at this point it's been widely understood that kosovo authorities are not really cooperating with the united nations in their investigation and we've heard from the head of the u.n. mission in kosovo. he's basically saying that the mission immunity was violated this is what he said that it had been in new. members or is. the. you know if you broke was old school. and. lows and.

now the tensions flared up on may 28th at that point the police in kosovo were cracking down on suspected members of organized crime and they were operating mainly in the northern parts of the region to carry out their crackdown now from what we understand a 19 people were detained people were injured and one un mission staffer was beaten up and i had a broken cheekbone and upper jaw and in addition to that there was another un staffer who was a kosovar serbs and he was injured during the police raid now the 1st un staffer who was a russian national was then taken to belgrade for treatment at that point the unrecognised kosovo government declared this individual had hindered a special police operation and at this point he was declared persona non grata and at this point we have kosovo politicians were calling for the un mission to leave kosovo saying it has no purpose this is what one voice in kosovo has said. while we

are deeply grateful to unmake for the vital role that it has played in the 1st of our liberation we simply do not see any teasin for its continued presence in our thriving republic. is not the peacekeeping mission because kosovo law enforcement mechanisms and key for guarantee the safety and security of our people now the un mission in kosovo it's there to basically make sure the situation doesn't degenerate or deescalate or escalate into a new war or any new conflict there to kind of keep the peace now at this point we've heard from the deputy permanent representative of russia he spoke at the un security council meeting and he said we will. leave that those actions were intentional they were meant to provoke and they were demonstrative now all the members or all of the majority of the members of the security council called for hostilities to see sand as the meeting concluded it was pretty clear that the

international community has its eye on the situation there as tensions are rising in the aftermath of the may 28th incident. 47 years ago this psychotic image of the vietnam war 1st grabbed the public's attention doctors gave the girl in the photograph that's kim phuc little chance of survival against all the old she did survive but the brutal unprotected war claimed the lives of millions. on this 47th anniversary r.t.

sophie shevardnadze speaks to kim fuk a survivor of that napalm attack who saves her wounds may have healed but her heart wasn't. after lunch so we get clay around. suddenly the soldiers jail for the children asked us to run i remember. as a child i just stood there and then i saw everything i saw the fall of bombs. landing like that and then suddenly the fire was everywhere around me and my clothes were burned by the fire and i saw the fire. was over my left arm and. that and i used my right hands i wet it up then day by day

i i have to go through a lot of pain in and. now i'm in and very low so it's tim not only the scar and i have from the napalm and a pain from that one day but my heart was in trouble and. a political crisis is unfolding in one of europe's maula stone poorest nations this constitutional court stripped the president of his powers and left its leadership on parliament in the middle pro-democracy rally in the capital is the mounting of

alexion and that leader in court to resign it comes as a crisis meeting was held this monday among officials in a general election stalemate failed coalition and sing the former soviet republic puzzling with the idea of following e.u. aspirations but the new elections being touted by we are going pm could lead to a deadlock and a violent backlash here's a look at what over 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 so when i was in india 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 production party of socialist moldova and pro european akamai electro 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 eco daughter unhappily made the appointment but wait not so fast the constitutional court dissolve the new government claiming they missed the legal deadline by one day that is because the court and coalition counted the 3 month period differently so the court took the matter into its own hands calling for the dissolution of parliament and temporarily relieving president dalton of his powers outgoing prime minister pavel 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 moldova politics and it looks like things are just

beginning to heat up. in european politics professor marini thinks moldova situation goes beyond its borders. political struggle which takes into consideration both the real goal and the just the cost to tional course the question so that that alliance which will receive differently and end up money to the fragmentation. of the constitutional floor to has a figure our i think unfair isn't it that one of the images the sure and the and executive obviously not and maybe a question for the show as the creation of the force of will be similar in domestic and international political crisis as well because it takes us into consideration the main dish that we. are and your political area the cleavage between a pro russian approach. or. a

russian investigative journalist who is charged over the weekend with intent to supply illegal drugs has been placed under haas arrest in moscow even going off detention which has been strongly condemned by his supporters was addressed for the 1st time by the kremlin on monday. or. vladimir putin was informed about the case in some petersburg on friday he was informed that it's a high profile case the kremlin can't comment on criminal cases and wouldn't do in this case but taking into account of the cases i proof we're observing it very carefully monday saw a russian headlines come out in support of the arrest a journalist with the title we are evolving strewn across several major newspapers now it was detained on thursday after the police said they found drugs in his possession as well as scales and more drugs in his moscow apartment he was then charged with trying to sell these drugs around the same time he was sent to the

hospital because he claimed that he was beaten in custody as well as refused a lawyer which the police deny in both cases the online newspaper going over works for me is convinced of his innocence they've riposte a statement from his lawyer saying that the arrest itself may have been a set up the publication also mentioned that this journalist has received threats regarding his investigative work for the past several months however the police claim that his arrest was not an isolated incident but it was part of a wider investigation into a drug ring in moscow so go an office placed under house arrest on saturday after being released from the hospital with no serious trauma reported nevertheless an open petition is going around the internet and around the world calling for immediate release over 148000 people have signed including high profile journalists in the russian media so this is a story that's quickly developing new information hour by hour and we'll bring you the latest as it becomes available ok that's our loss no you just saw the r.t.
