donald trump officially recognizes jerusalem as the capital of israel the move is already being fiercely criticized across the muslim and arab world. and the years of terror after that no longer holds any territory in syria the russian military says the group has been defeated there. after months of speculation president putin officially announces his bid for reelection in two thousand and eighteen. broadcasting live their regular studios in moscow this is r.t. international and sean thomas glad to have you with us now has announced of that

time has come up for the u.s. to officially recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel and there has already been a wave of criticism to the proposal across the muslim and arab world also gave the green light to moving the american embassy to jerusalem from tel aviv therefore i have determined that it is time to officially recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel or to you and i twenty four news correspondents jornada miller and mohamed al qassim spoke to my colleague and a farmer earlier caleb is in new york jordyn and mohamed are in jerusalem and the west bank. in his remarks donald trump insisted that the usa was still committed to a two state solution he went on to say that he actually wanted a good deal for both the israelis and the palestinians now here's just a selection from what donald trump said when he was trying to justify his decision this decision is not intended in any way to reflect

a departure from our strong commitment to facilitate a lasting peace agreement. we want an agreement that is a great deal for the israelis and a great deal for the palestinians now we've also heard from various allies of the united states in the region turkey a member of nato has been very critical of the decision has as has saudi arabia a longtime u.s. ally which hosted donald trump not long ago now we've also heard some reactions from europe now we know the french leader has called this an illegal action and said that it is a violation of international law. these final stop those issues. must be resolved through guided legal situations between the two parties the status of jerusalem should be determined as a negotiated in a negotiated settlement between the israelis and the palestinians and jerusalem should ultimately form to shan't form a shared capital now here in the united states israel supporters are certainly

jubilant but other parties are quite upset with the decision it's been quite a mixed reaction here in the usa as well so across the planet there's been lots of controversy in response to donald trump's statements but as he reiterated many times during his speech making the announcement he insists that he is still committed to a two state solution so we'll just have to see what further reactions develop ok things kind of let's get some reaction now from the west bank because they're standing patiently is mohammed saying from twenty four thanks very much for coming on mohammed just tell us what's been the reaction in the west bank because donald trump has been selling this is a step towards peace but many people believe it's a step backwards. will soon after u.s. president don't trump concluded his speech president mahmoud abbas in a televised speech an angry speech to be quite honest with you condemned the

decision by the u.s. president and criticize this decision saying that jerusalem will look for ever be an arab. and the capital of the palestinian future state and no one can change its identity if these deplorable and unacceptable measures deliberately undermine all peace efforts and proclaim that the us are abandoning the rule of sponsor of the peace process that they have played over the past decade. there has been in minor clashes throughout the west bank and in fact we've heard that there has been some demonstrations in east jerusalem there will be general strike by mccall's four days of rage deferred also reports of demonstrations in jordan and also in. the capital of in front of the u.s. embassy as well as demonstrations a few hundred yards in front of the u.s. consulate in istanbul wide condemned nation throughout the middle east and the muslim world with a decision that the president don't trump talk by moving the embassy from the city

of tel aviv in israel to jerusalem as well as announcing that jerusalem is the capital of israel ok thanks mohammed list at the israeli perspective now because we can go to donna miller she's in jerusalem i have to say that really across the political spectrum here israeli lawmakers and the majority of the public your support this move the prime minister benjamin netanyahu put out a statement on you tube this is a historic day the president's decision is an important step towards peace for there is no peace that doesn't include jerusalem as the capital of the state of israel he went on to call this a just and courageous decision and he called on other countries to follow suit now it doesn't look at this moment like many other countries will follow suit but overall this is a decision that israelis have been praising now if we look at the israeli arab lawmakers of course a very different reaction there the head of the major party here that serves in the

israeli knesset releasing a statement saying that trump is a quote hater that he is not interested in any kind of peace between israelis and palestinians by making because he's made the kind of move which really destroys he said the chances for peace. politicians around the world have already reacted to trump's decision german chancellor angela merkel and british prime minister theresa may and e.u. foreign policy chief federico greeny have all expressed their disagreement with of them of the german government does not support this move because the status of jerusalem is to be negotiated within the framework of a two state solution we disagree with the u.s. decision to move its embassy to jerusalem and recognize jerusalem as the israeli capital before a final status agreement we believe it is unhelpful in terms of prospects for peace in the region the european union expresses serious concern about today's

announcement by the united states president trump the aspirations of both parties must be fulfilled and a way must be found through negotiations all right we spoke to hussein bunching from the middle east a technical university who believes the u.s. and israel have replications to face over this move the risk this time not business risk about political risk and good middle east will be far more than i think america and american citizens will not have very easy by from now on in the middle east and in many other parts of it but this is the decision of the american administration and the. only america can do. donald trump is so i think is this is from back but this is another answer that syria has been completely liberated from islamic state terrorists but i got to have has the latest. the soup is slamming state of syria and iraq is

a state no more for all intents and purposes says the russian defense ministry it is being destroyed as a fractured iraq still hotspots and isolated pockets vladimir putin added but with the liberation of the west bank of the you for it is done seven hundred and ninety days off to russia got involved in september two thousand and fifteen when the this was an arguably at its peak. please. when the russian operation began isis held more territory in syria action two years in a few months on the caliph it has been reduced to clumps of villages and i mean the

habits addends it wasn't the russian air force saloon that did this the u.s. led coalition also played a huge pot we've been covering the syrian civil war in depth before isis even had its name before jihad hijacked the rebel schools here are some of the more memorable moments filmed by my colleagues and i. are. this is the ad big enough akio from which russian jets. against islam ixnay targets here in syria. whether it's. time the planets are ready to go it's a moments notice. is

quite incredible to be standing here in the pulse of the ancient city of. people around the world feared would be reduced to dust in this amphitheater laid down by the romans almost two thousand years ago that isis staged one of its sickest massacres the russian military considers it the crowding jewel of the operation here in syria. just some of the impressive military hardware that isis positions less than two kilometers away and.

were as a syrian artillery position overlooking the industrial quarter of their resort the battle is said to be theists isis fired back as we filmed shells began falling all around. we ran but the syrian batteries kept firing. life indeed as order is still far from normal but at least it will be starving to death and the more. well timidly it wasn't russian or american jets that played the decisive role in this these victory belongs to the syrians the thousands and thousands who fought

and died to defeat isis those who stood up to jihad even when it seemed nothing could stop them unfortunately it's unlikely that this land here any isis fighters have escaped or god on the ground sleeper cells will terrorize the world for years to come but now they'll no longer have a caliphate to fight for. with russia saying i saw has been essentially driven out of syria there's still the question of what to do with the group's reigning fighters in neighboring countries including iraq there are too easy you would have done the reports. russia has effectively expressed its outright willingness to join the u.s. led coalition against i saw the very same coalition that has been conducting air strikes against terrorists both in syria and iraq now of course russia has yet to hear back from washington that on this but donald trump has already made

a statement and a rather peculiar one in relation to the russians praised. the fact that quote i still has been knocked out of syria or to iran or to georgia and now with more school in damascus giving isolette founding well their only escape this is the need of cooperation between the two militaries between the russian and the u.s. about the next for syria following isis. around and syria. or whether he was genuinely conflicted and see again or whether he was just playing the media nevertheless we were put out of our misery when he said you support yes. but you should thank you for your reaction but first of all spoil your work. and i was rumored that this big announcement would come earlier in the day when he attended a volunteers for him here in moscow in fact i was here ready and waiting to bring

you the breaking news of his decision however he played quite once again and also seemed to seek validation from the audience there and they seemed very clear on what decision he should make yes yes no way to show you i mean if i make such a decision. and the people close to support it. i. but it still should prove to be an interesting race over the coming weeks and months with quite an eclectic mix of candidates throwing their hats into the ring one of the most prominent being a stock chart she's considered to be the russian paris. and what's also quite interesting about her is that she putin she's attended opposition rallies and she's promised to unite people against vladimir putin is the first time we've seen any woman enter the race for the presidency in russia in fourteen years and of course there are the usual suspects as well including anti zyuganov on the liberal yabloko

panero thi has pledged to champion the rights of entrepreneurs so quite an eclectic mix for the russian people to think that teeth into the head of the elections in march next year political activist john bosnich. even in the financial times of london potential candidates added together so he's already polling in far over an actual time zone as we know the financial times is one of the most virulent lee and t. putin media in the world so i think he's picked the right time to announce it the people waiting to hear from him he also picked the announcement date the day after isis was completely eradicated from syria so he went into a terrible war situation and he brought peace i think it's an excellent time to declare one's candidacy. the currency bitcoin has set another record breaking

above the thirteen thousand dollar mark for the first time compare that with where it was at the beginning of the year when it was trading at about a thousand dollars per token since then it has been growing constantly albeit with regular fluctuations here is a quick reminder of how big quinn works. or are.

we asked a senior market analyst of bitcoin could hold its own in the world of financial giants defeat us from one a year ago how much further it can go and those forecasting two thousand would have been seen as being unrealistic and yet here we are at twelve thousand so as we've seen so often with bubbles and if this is one then they can go on a lot longer than people can remain solvent if you're planning to for example go against the trends the problem that we have here is like say this is not a real thing here this is a crypto currency this is just an online virtual. currency and therefore with it being such new technology and not being overly widely adopted at this stage it's very difficult to price and that's why i think the speculative aspect of this is the most concerning. in britain opportunities to prevent a series of recent terror attacks in both manchester and london who were missed according to a new report carried out for the government with details here's artie's public.

well this is come from an independent report that was carried out by the u.k. home office and it was looking at how well the security services did their jobs in the run up to the string of terror attacks that took place in the u.k. over the past year and one of the things that it found was that three of the six attackers that they were looking at they were on the radar so the domestic security services were watching them already perhaps more worryingly the reports concluded that the attack carried out by soundman a baby in manchester arena in may the one that took the lives of twenty three people among them many children says that with hindsight that attack could have been preventable the cards fall and differently that's nitrile quote from the report take a look at how the cards did end up falling. but

to give you an idea of the extent to which the perpetrator of the attack in manchester was all in the security services radar well m i five were meant to have a meeting about whether or not to up his surveillance nine days after he was able to carry out that bombing the report also says that m i five denies that the bombing was preventable and all this is coincide with a rather dramatic story here about two men who have been arrested for plotting to bomb downing street and assassinate to reason may so that gives you an illustration of the sort of constant threat that the security services care having to deal with take a listen to the home secretary amber rudd commenting on this report not to developing

more quickly from march so you should too. and becoming harder to detect although it's got to be said that a foil plot is clearly better than one that has been carried out but in the run up to christmas this severe threat level is going to be weighing heavily on many people's minds. violence broke out on the streets of athens on wednesday multiple cars and shops caught fire as protesters threw petrol bombs at police. hundreds of protesters went out to mark the ninth anniversary of the killing of the teenager alexandros he grew up of those who was shot dead by police in two thousand and eight riots were also fuelled by unemployment and the continuing economic crisis more than two thousand plays were deployed across athens to contain the violence every year people take to the streets to commemorate the boy's death police officer who killed the teenager was found guilty and sentenced to life

imprisonment for that was back in two thousand. when you're watching our two international be back in about thirty five minutes with your headlines stay with us . about your sudden passing i phone lee just learned you worry yourself and taken your last bang turn. to you as we all knew it would i tell you i'm sorry but only i could so i write these last words in hopes to put to rest these things that i never got off my chest. i remember when we first met my life turned on each breath. but then my feelings started to change you talked about more like it was

again still some more fun to feel those that didn't like to question our arc and i secretly promised to never again like it said one does not leave a funeral in the same as one enters the mind it's consumed with death this one quite different. it's the last speech in the us there are no other takers. just saying that mainstream media has met its maker.

the let's. go. time after that you were going underground as today a court in belfast holds a hearing into three dissident republicans charged with conspiracy to murder in their fight for a united ireland coming over the show but get whether it's a bit coin bubble or the demise of the u.s.

federal reserve we speak to russian federation state secretary all the foreman who is deputy minister of economic development tells us about moscow's new crypto and with new official figures showing tens of thousands of so-called excess with deaths in britain why are people in tory britain dying earlier than in other developed nations we ask one of the bulls greatest geographers professor danny dorling from the headlines we reveal the deadly game of backing middle east militants on the desperate cost of life on the british benefits all the civil war going up in today's going underground at first nato nation media loves nothing better than downing the government of venezuela the world's largest known source of oil they echo u.k. prime minister drazen may when she condemns germany corben whose labor party is now leading by eight points according to the most accurate pollsters at this summer's general election savation this is a politician who thinks we should take the economics of venezuela as

a role model here is one typical state mandated b.b.c. version of what is happening in venezuela. hugo chavez looking over caracas. but now he's. the poor living there in the barrios historically his political base have turned against the movement he created really that report came ahead of state elections in venezuela that saw chavez's movement sweep the board in state government she. that despite a venezuelan government under chavez which failed to sufficiently diversified economy away from oil and its saudi backed price instability so why is chavez's successor nicola my duro doing so well despite u.s. sanctions perhaps because of continual revolutionary ideas like these she are. giving the freedom i'm pulling out of him while of them are they getting the money now up out of fear or they're not going to set of

a pickle enough i mean if. they're not getting the money or any sort of on it ah yes president glassman doro is announce a new oil backed crypto currency called the petro in some emerging economies way which will be another nail in the coffin of washington's federal reserve system donald trump's federal reserve chair person certainly doesn't know how to regulate it i think it's important to understand that this is payment innovation it's taking place entirely outside the banking industry and to the best of my knowledge there is no intersection at all in any way between big korean and.
