yes, become active and engaged with the party to look for common ground breaking news this hour. a scientist being killed by the day was one of the country's foremost nuclear experts killing off its official, a nuclear scientist. the country's top diplomat, israel israel has yet to comment. we go live to the country for reaction. in moments for french officers are suspended for beating a block of video goes viral. as a wave of anger in france in protest against

a controversial bill that could be even a neighborhood my screams. he called me and asked what's going on. i explained he wanted to call the police, but it was the police. it's outrageous and allegedly killed in a u.s. drone strike in yemen. he continues to live in fear of germany. distanced itself from american operations conducted from german soil around the clock across the world. this is r t international from the team, myself. you know, neal hello and welcome to the program. we begin with breaking news, a scientist seen as the father of the nuclear program has been killed in tehran,

a local reporter, only because money told me more about what is being called an assassination on terror attack. by iran, senior iranian scientist was killed on a highway near tehran. there's not much detail about number of people involved in the attack, or number of people killed in the incident in the skirmish tag took away some 75 kilometers outside to iran, north east of tehran, near the resort city. that, you know, apparently due to traffic was quite less than usual in comparison to the other days . the terrorists apparently caught into the vehicle of the scientists. newsmedia, stayed out there was an explosion. and then there was a gunfire. berridge of gunfire. bits been the security officials do sasson

tactic, which is killing on the roll is similar tactic those attacks that carried out almost a decade ago. there was serious of such assassinations on a rainy and scientists claim why have top iranian scientists. but with more on this developing story, i'm joined now in the studio by our why is a run calling this an act of state terror? just break that down for us 1st if you will, you know, and well, we are getting all the indications that this was a complicated, well coordinated attack against the man that some western intelligence agencies flagged as the person behind. the alleged iranian nuclear weapons program, even though to iran denies it constantly denies that it's running any kind of

program like that. so this was nowhere near a situation when the assailant just points a gun at the victim and shoots and killed there were explosives used. then there were shots fired following the explosion, which left the car with the scientists bullet marks. so this explains why the iranian defense ministries call in the terrorist attack. but all these attempts, there were also reports that this could have been a suicide attempt, even though they weren't able to kill the scientist on the spot. he was taken to hospital where the person died, but again, we are talking about a top iranian research or who was protected by a team of bodyguards who were also attacked in terms of reaction. the world i think, is waiting to see what to run is going to do, has to be any clue as to what the reaction, the initial reaction from tehran,

senior officials, what i've been saying about this, who did this, what's going to happen? well, 1st of all we heard from the foreign minister, zarif, who is making it clear that tehran only treats this as a terrorist attack. once again, he's calling it an act of state. terror towards a reef is also pointing the finger at israel and is saying that this case demands serious international attention. terrorists murdered an imminent iranian scientists today. this cowardice with serious indications of israeli role show desperate warmongering of perpetrators. iran calls on international community and especially you see and their shameful double standards and condemn this act of state terror. israel though, has not responded so far and at this point, surely, we cannot make any conclusions about possible connections between this murder and

also the rhetoric that we kept hearing from israeli officials for when it comes to the nuclear activities in iran. but the fact is that 2 years ago in 2008 thing, benjamin netanyahu, the prime minister of israel, called out the name of that scientist. accusing him not only of being behind the alleged nuclear weapons program in the past, but also accusing him of continuing to covertly, rather than running up until present times. remember that name 5 years ago. so here's his direct idea. and he says, the general aim is to announce the closure project, but then he adds special activities. you know what that is? special activities will be carried out under the title of scientific know how

developments. and in fact, this is exactly what iran proceeded to do. it continued this work in a series of organizations over the years. i also want to point out that this is by far not the 1st murder of iranian scientists that are linked to the nuclear in that country. in the previous years, a number of murders, similar to that have happened in all cases to ron, blamed israel. now, if we just look at the whole story with iran's nuclear program in the past 23 decades or so, the story house has been that it looked like some kind of constant ping pong between iran and the say and tied to ron international law to run repeating constantly and trying to convince the world that their nuclear

activities are purely of peaceful nature. and then the anti-red front led by israel and some other politicians too in the west that kept saying that iran is only trying to fool the international community. but i can tell you that at some point, it seems that israel began losing this game of ping pong when you ran nuclear deal was signed. and when international atomic energy agency monitors were allowed into iran, where they couldn't find any proof of military activity at iran's nuclear sites. and this was the point, like i said, when the nuclear deal was signed. though, under donald trump, the u.s. decided to quit the deal which put the whole status quo sort of say, in jeopardy. and now we have this latest assassination of a nuclear scientist, which of course could lead to serious international quantz occurrences. but that's

something we have to wait for, and surely we have to wait for more reaction as well. the effects very much for breaking all that on the developments around us. well, let's delve a little bit deeper into one aspect of this who may have it's item very happy to welcome you, only pain medicare and an israeli expert in art of the 1st speaking to us this hour from jerusalem. well, come around, you only is calling this an assassination. i mean, even officials have been targeted in recent years. there's this bear, the hallmarks of another targeted killing and those targeted killings in the past. as our correspondent was going through have come from israel. what is your take? skipping the sign when these laws will respond. so you cannot put the blame on israel. everything is possible in the middle east. if even

if israel, who sponsor for this attack, this comes after a lot of warnings from these early side, then the i think that if stress the word, if israel is behind it, you can interpret it is a message to iran and also to the new american president joe biden, that israel is determined to stall with the iranian nuclear project, because this is a real danger for the state of israel. if this is foreign to have been carried out by israel, an assassination of perhaps the country's top scientists on their soil. what do you see the ramifications of that being internationally? i don't know how, how it will be, what will be the international ramifications, but the iranians are already threatening,

that they're going to retaliate. and this is a very real possibility, because the proxies in the middle east, they have the proceeds in the syria, lebanon on, in gaza, saw diskin bring definitely in a school asian in the middle east, on the actual attack itself. you're only the details are sketchy at the moment, but what we believe we know is that 3 or 4 assailants died in the attack. this idea of a death squad going into another nation. if that's what it is, again, you're right to say that there is no current occasion as to who carry their side. but is that something israel will be capable of sending people into do a killing? and perhaps knowing that they're not going to come are, they're going to get killed by doing this. i doubt

these reports of the 3 assailants being killed if they really were killed, let the iranian present these bodies and let them identify them. and if the claim is behind it, let's see if those people are really israelis right now, i doubt very much. but as you've said before, the only people who have spoken about this scientists before in menacing tone has been the president of israel. the prime minister of israel is the, you mean? yes, yes, he spoke and he mentioned this name, but this doesn't mean anything. this doesn't mean that these are responsible for what happened. we know a lot of names over it. people who are engaged in this project and their names were published in these really press a few times that this doesn't mean that this world is behind this assignation.

where does this leave the iran nuclear deal in your estimation? i think that he was a very important figure in the, in project. there are, some iranians are calling him a custom solely money over the nuclear project in iran. these are very important figure and definitely it will slow down the iranian nuclear project or thank you for coming on the program and sharing your views is really expert in our 1st speaking from jerusalem. thank you. and the incident comes hours really in relations with the u.s. are really at a low point the donald trump administration put back the negotiations, instigated by barack obama and future talks, are growing ever more complicated between the 2 for some reaction then stateside our correspondent killer martin is standing by in new york for us kaleb. good to

see the pentagon has not commented as far as i know at this stage, has there been any reaction? how might this affect the peace in the nuclear negotiations which have been in conversation more than they have been for a long time in the past number of weeks?, indeed. well, u.s., iran relations have been in a downward trajectory for the previous 4 years. the trumpet ministration has really strange things. you'll recall that several prominent iranians have been killed in these recent years. last january, donald trump okayed a drone strike that killed qassam solar monny. and he was abroad in iraq, he was hit by a drone and killed and his death sparked mass protests and outrage among the international community. prior to that donald trump had pulled the united states out of the iran nuclear agreement called it the worst deal in the century. this is donald trump. i recruit from the last administration was disastrous.

if i didn't terminate that stupid, the deal was a disaster. the agreement that was it was a disaster. now, not only have there been direct escalations of tension between the united states and iran, but furthermore, there have been some indirect maneuvers as well. donald trump has positioned himself to be more supportive of israel than any previous us president. he moved the u.s. embassy to jerusalem. he seems to be backing netanyahu, and netanyahu is particular distaste for iran and willingness to escalate with iran in the region. there was also the what trump calls his historic peace deal, which was essentially getting countries throughout the region to recognize israel and align with israel in the hopes of further isolating iran. and we recently saw u.s. secretary of state mike pompei o going on a middle east tour on this is some of what might pompei o said when he was in the

region. thanks to president troop, the u.s. pulled out of the nuclear review with the wrong place, crippling sanctions on the union regime and eliminated the move to close them soon be a record speaks for itself. during the trip administration, america stands with israel like never before. now, many were predicting that there could possibly be a change, of course, with joe biden. in the white house. you'll recall that it was barack obama, who signed the iran nuclear agreement. the joint comprehensive plan of action that donald trump ultimately withdrew the united states from and some were expecting that as biden appoints new members to his cabinet. that it seems clear that it would be a change in approach to dealing with iran. the united states may favor further negotiations with the islamic republic. however, with the situation adding qassam, solomonic assassinated, and now this recent killing,

it looks like it will be very difficult for iran in the united states to sit down once again, even with the new administration in the white house. carol, thanks very much for bringing us right up to date on the reaction stateside all not kill up my pen. french president reportedly being left shocked by violent c. c t. v footage, which captured the moment for a police officers beat a black man. in part this michel a secular music producer, was trucked by the authorities to his studio for not wearing a mask. we're about to show with a security camera video. you may find at the story there

are also photos showing the extent of the injuries. again, some graphic imagery as a head. michelle was left with head and facial wounds. he also tore a tendon. he was initially placed in police custody where he spent 48 hours after that was he seen a doctor, a charges of violence against him were later dropped following the emergence of the video evidence. and it was very hard when they fired tear gas that was at the back. i tried to call my lawyer. i tried to call a lot of people, even a neighbor heard my screams. he called me and asked what's going on. i explained it's been a tax and he wanted to call the police might. it was the police. it's outrageous. i can't even tell you what i'm waiting for. i wish, of course,

that this never happens again to anyone. whether there are cameras or not. it should never happen. the police are here to protect us. well, according to local media reports, the officer said they initially found the mom's non-working of a mosque on the streets. the law in front of them over a drug smell was emanating from him. they also claim to try to attack them and grab their weapons. the 4 officers have now been suspended on a criminal inquiry, launched into the case. michelle's lawyer sais, that the video saved her client from prison. they're hitting him with their telescopic badness. they don't stop hitting him. the video last for 12 minutes of violence in the video is essential because my client was initially in detention. they detained him, accused of violence against a person holding public authority. so it's essential and it's extremely serious. if we didn't have this video, perhaps my client would be in prison for an extremely serious infraction. while

this incident happens to the backdrop of a new security bill that's cause widespread protest in france. if passed in january, it would make sharing video or images of the police illegal if it's dissemination. puppy officers in harm's way. we heard from a member of the committee against police violence who says cases like this should not filming the police at times in public is essential we are again seeing police violence. the video from the security camera was actually taken by the victim. it's a private video, it proves that the police report was folks, this is just one of countless cases in france. we are dealing with. they have been lots of them recently. for example, the case of cedric which was widely covered by the media with police officers following him and reports from it. and then video proves it folks. the situation was different. unfortunately,

the justice system seems to take the word of the police for this reason video that captures the police in action is needed for us to start an investigation, as in this case. and secondly, to provide sufficient evidence to another story that r.t. is following closely. today, a top court in germany has rule of berlin is not liable for war crimes resulting from u.s. drone strikes launched from its soil. that's been a big issue for quite some time. washington has coordinated a number of operations through the ramstein air base. the last of the yemeni nationals has been tonight, the federal administrative court has explained that a general geisha for protection in favor of foreigners in foreign countries can exist. but southern quire means differently than the higher administrative court. well, this ruling in light sig means that the german government has no responsibility to guarantee that u.s. drone strikes that are operated from the u.s.

airbase on german soil. that they adhere to international human rights law that they fall within the remits that overturns a ruling in a german court in munster last year, which said exactly the office. it's in said that berlin did bear responsibility. it also went on to say that the german government knew u.s. missions that would be operated from the ramstein air base in the south of germany violated international law. and the case was brought originally back in 2014 by human rights groups representing the families of yemeni people who had been killed by u.s. drone strikes. one of those family members spoke to the press following the ruling at this case at the court in light sick. and he said, it is a severe blow. my family cannot live free from fear while these drones flying with germany's help hover over a community in yemen, threatening to bring death and destruction. u.s. drone strikes have targeted yemen for well over

a decade. the main targets have been al qaeda terrorists operating on the ground, but they haven't been the only ones that have been struck. we've also, according to the, the bureau for investigative journalism, seen $200.00 civilians or at least $200.00 civilians with around 50 children, also being killed in these airstrikes. now the european center for constitutional and human rights based here in berlin is described. the ruling is disappointing. one of their lawyers going even further on social media, he said that the court has chosen to believe the word of the government, the united states, that since 2001 has employed torture, kidnapping, and killing under the guise of fighting. again, it's terrorism. this clearly a lot of very high temperatures running here over this court ruling. in fact, reprieve the human rights group. that helped finance the yemeni family's court case

. they are extremely unhappy with this ruling. what we're talking about here is a secret to cessation program that kill scores of civilians each. here it is simply unsustainable, and despite the ruling very clearly unlawful. well, earlier this year in may, the united states put out a statement in which they said that they killed no civilians in their drone strike operations in 2019. they had put out a similar statement saying that they've killed no civilians in 2018 as well. but the statements are highly disputed by human rights groups who've been working on the ground. we also heard from martin doul to martin's a german left party member who told us berlin should not have done to us pressure i think the german government and let's assume that german leads they are afraid of disappointing. 'd the, the united states of america and their government. but i don't think international

law. 'd 'd or of the human rights should stand in the middle of any decision or the . 'd court in the middle. 'd of any decision of the government and there should be no. 'd pressure to crimes information information and there is evidence that drones kill civilians and this has to be taken into account the german government test, the true what happens and you know, this is under control of the u.s. army and so the control in the last instance, you know of the u.s. government to our mind to, to the mind of the left perkiest should be closed because this control issue about new stories for not. but if you ever seen a person walking a dog on the street and thought that's not a dog. so what, for anyone who told you that's ridiculous or documentary starting in a moment shows you may just have been right close. it's

a good one. is you'll be a reflection of reality. in a world transformed what will make you feel safe. isolation, community. are you going the right way, or are you being led? by what is true? what's his face? in the world corrupted, you need to descend to join us in the depths,
