israeli forces respond with porta cannon to gas to mass protests in the west bank following president move to recognize jerusalem as the capital of his right. no one knows what will happen the dangerous days are coming to jerusalem the u.s. president makes a statement in the israeli citizens will need to prove the prize for it also to come this hour right here in the united states top diplomats are discussing syria ukraine and north korea is they met on the sidelines of a security conference and as the cryptocurrency bitcoin spikes at eighteen thousand dollars we'll take a look at some of the hacks and fumbles that have lost people millions.

good evening you're watching r.t. international start this hour with the news that three people are reported killed in a shooting at a high school in our stack in new mexico including the attacker the school building has been cleared and other schools in the area were also in lockdown. now protests are being held across palestinian territories over donald trump's decision to recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel trump also gave the go ahead to move the american embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem which is wrong being contested by israelis and palestinians. and here's the latest video we have from the west bank protesters there have been burning tires and throwing objects and israeli security forces which have received

only gas and water cannon authorities say dozens of people have been injured a producer in fact marty arabic was also caught up in the unrest and needed medical assistance protests against trump's decision have been spreading across the middle east. therefore i have determined that it is time to officially recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel. no one has the right to play with the fates of billions of people for the sake of one's personal ambitions. the palestinian muslim christian writes in jerusalem will only fuel for the extremism and i've got my war against terrorism. those are so close that.

they cannot oppose people's feelings and beliefs this is a new type of adventurism and global arrogance of the us. king selman made our position clear during his telephone conversation with president saudi arabia's policy regarding the palestinians will never change the palestinian issue is a primary concern to us. because. we were in the us the drizzle and. we've warned of the consequences that would occur in case the u.s. and president trump today's decision which will damage u.s. relations with relations. while there are reports that dozens of people have been injured in clashes in the west bank and live fire has been used to although the israeli military denies the use of life friends palestinians are holding

a general strike also with more protests expected over the coming days using this group hamas is called for a new uprising called into florida and declared friday a day of prayer which israelis as well as palestinians have voiced their face over trump's decision. no one knows what will happen but dangerous days are coming to jerusalem that is definitely my short term fear that it was sparked violence hopefully it won't. and i think that unfortunately a u.s. president makes a statement and the israeli citizens will need to pay the price for it. but as we have been saying there has been a massive backlash to trump's decision there cheeta joined me earlier in the studio with the latest. so the immediate reaction after trying to declare jerusalem as the recognized capital of israel was concerned about how it would affect the arab world a number of world powers have expressed their grave concern but now with one

militia group in iraq they have come out with this direct threat against the u.s. because of trans decision and if that threat comes to fruition there is really serious consequences that trump stupid decision will be the big spark for removing his rule from the body of the islamic militia and the legitimate reason to target american forces so what do we know then about this militia group well the name of the group is the hezbollah. it's a prominent militia group shia militia group and it's made up of around ten thousand iraqis and they're also part of the around backed popular mobilization forces and it is considered to be one of the most important militia groups there and the fish dress is real is it appears to be how many people would be a target well we can't forget how many people have been sent on a large scale operation according to the u.s. defense department and these are the latest figures apparently there's around five

thousand two hundred troops there in the country an awful lot of troops to be affected if these threats become a reality situation in iraq there but it's potentially not only value soldiers there could be a risk to no not at all there are being worries again about the fact that trump has come out and said that the embassy the u.s. embassy will be moved to jerusalem what are the consequences of that never mind moving it would become an absolute target for various terrorist groups we've seen in the past in benghazi if you remember then in libya that there are two coordinated attacks that were carried out by militant groups there so we've already seen u.s. embassies consulates government buildings attacked around in conflict areas and what does that mean for the u.s. staff who are thinking about. who will be forced to move to as my last happens they're going to be really worried. well we can get the thoughts now of dr side

professor of political. university of cairo good evening chief thank you very much for your time tonight what do you have thoughts on this latest threat by the shia militants in iraq threatening to target u.s. troops is this a dangerous escalation do you think. there is a lot of expectation the reaction to. announcement is that there would be more violence it would not be the same father that we had seen before but there will be more ammunition and more fuel for those organization and militant organizations to target american and israeli objectives but the trouble is that maybe those objectives can not be reached easily so there is fear that moderate regimes would become the target of the ngo of the masses they would look at power. agent of the americans that they had been. compromised thing was they had invested

all the eggs in that basket and there was no peace process there is nothing that. were promising the public opinion. and so the biggest fear is coming from. themselves they were this birth to this. stop this decision but he ignored them and so the few today that there will be you know confronting angry masses though calls for. you know our league meeting on saturday in cairo to discuss what is to be done calls also by the turkish what is now the chair of the islamic conference. vision for an emergency meeting to see what can the muslim world do fifty seven muslim streets and they have fights and it looks like. a time when our world is very.

weak it is fragmented despite the. many wars in the world. how chips and difficulties and so we just feel that he had voted this situation to impose. a status school that would push them to accept whatever peace initiative you would like to present in the future to sitting more then would you expect is the response from the arab world he said that they would try and form some sort of unified stance on this but what could they do. well unfortunately the of dependent on they're not it's economically militarily there's a lot of many regimes in the gulf protected by the u.s. bases. so most likely we'll get the positions but. can you always do all. of those for washington d.c.

it is unlikely saw most most what what i expect that will happen is another. stand may be made again this is because it is easier to criticize than the united states but to take any concrete position or. most likely also you will get we have to is hitting the area and fixing the economy remember we are now entering the christmas. season and the new year and you have a lot of two is becoming to the middle east and maybe foreign investment now when these see all this development in the area. will become poor and poor and you will have more people interested in violence against the regime this is the . real problem. mainly governments in the field of doctors they were going to have to leave it nic good to get your thoughts on this

that was dr cited the professor of political psychology the american university of cairo thank you. in other news european leaders and the u.n. were quick to voice their concerns calling washington's step radical. this is your call that this is a regrettable decision which france does not approve of and which contradicts international law and un security council resolutions recognizing jerusalem as the capital of israel does not karma conflict rather it fuels it even more it's in everyone's interest that does not happen it is a very fragile context and. the potential to send. even darker times than that once we living in we disagree with the us decision to move its embassy to jerusalem and recognize jerusalem as israeli capital before any final status agreement we believe it is unhelpful in terms of prospects for peace in

their region while jerusalem is considered sacred by jews muslims and christians the jewish quarter of the city is home to the western wall the last remnant of the second jewish temple which was destroyed by the romans the city is also home to the shrine of the dome of the rock the oldest islamic monument still in existence and also there to the mosque the third holiest site in islam this city though is the very heart of the decades long conflict between the israelis and palestinians israel calls jerusalem its eternal capital the claim most of the international community of jecks because of the dispute no countries have an embassy there either the western part of this city is predominantly israel the eastern part is palestinian the holy sites there particularly sensitive to when threatened there's often been armrest and violence while the u.s. has long been an ally of israel with relations seemingly getting stronger since

donald trump took office and it's kind of mopping now explains there is plenty of intrigue on just how close the ties between team trump and israel really are. collusion is a popular accusation to throw around these days and a lot of what we're hearing working with a foreign government receiving money is what the trial team did with israel like undermining the policy of the current administration in favor of a foreign government michael flynn trumps former national security adviser admits he called russia and asked them to delay a vote at the un security council that israel didn't like. on or about december twenty second twenty sixteen and very senior member of the presidential transition team directed fully into contact officials from foreign governments to learn what each government stewed on the resolution and to influence those governments to delay the vote or defeat the resolution when informed the russian ambassador about being coming administration's position to the resolution and requested that russia

vote against or delay the resolution now we don't know who engineered it but take a look at this video of hi i'm savin the israeli billionaire and jared christian or trump son in law seriously you and you again. were taking steps to try and get the. united nations security council. not go along this crowd and myself want to thank you for making that thank you very much and then there are sheldon adelson now he's an israeli billionaire newspaper owner and he's also a top contributor to israeli lobbyists bankrolling their activities well he threw in five million dollars to contribute to donald trump's inauguration now there is money and also personal chemistry the trump family is quite close with benjamin netanyahu according to the new york times netanyahu even borrowed the bedroom of

jarrett cushion or when he was sleeping over at his mansion in new jersey now the relationship is no secret even his even bragged about it can i review journal how long we've known you. oh it was never small it was always big. always told but. i've known the president and i've known his family and his team for a long time so where is all this close and sometimes not so open cooperation gotten us well donald trump has now recognized jerusalem as israel's capital now this move is very pleasing to israelis but it's quite explosive for the region but no one is keen to shout about this blatant teamwork unlike some other country that's constantly in the headlines. r.t. new york washington's controversial decision on jerusalem was among the topics discussed at talks between the top diplomats of russia and america so get out of rove and rex tillerson met on the sidelines of the security conference in zero

three a bit. correspondent peter oliver is in that vienna for. what do we learn them what is come out of that conversation that they have low. well we've been hearing from russian foreign minister sergei lavrov he held a meeting with u.s. secretary of state rex tillerson on thursday here in vienna it only lasted for around thirty minutes but they certainly motored through an awful lot of topics the big news of the day really being there the decision by the united states to move their embassy to jerusalem so again a lot of said to be asked rex tillerson why the decision to do this had been made now and what exactly the united states expected to be results of this. of course it was when i asked them to clarify the points of the decision to move the u.s. embassy in israel from tel aviv to jerusalem where i asked them about what consequences they saw from this move for peace efforts on the part of the u.s. we have a lot of questions and drew their attention to the concerns from both arab and

muslim countries that it could undermine or even destroy any goshi asians on a two state solution. also on the agenda was the future of syria with sergey lavrov saying that the sovereignty of the country must be protected in the in. the the integrity of the borders of syria must be protected on iraq we were expecting something a little more about the offer made on wednesday by the russian defense ministry for military cooperation with the united states in order to to read western iraq of isis nothing forthcoming on that elsewhere around the world the situation on the korean peninsula of course was on the agenda sergey lavrov saying to washington that their actions their military maneuvers both on the peninsula itself and in the nearby area rist escalating the situation there he also called for a diplomatic solution for an international diplomatic solution to bring about an

end to the north korea nuclear issue on ukraine as well very short comment from the russian foreign minister there he said that must stick to what it signed up for the . the minsk agreement and the violations of minsk agreement must be halted that's what came out of day one of the conference here in vienna they'll be back on friday morning and i'll be here as well bringing you all the latest that comes from us. ok thanks for the update that was peter all of f. for us in vienna. now you what you ought to be company tonight still ahead this hour the. sudden sharp spike as it does rice passed yet another milestone we'll have a look at that just after the break. the

law. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president and. want to. write for us this is what books three of them will be good. interest of all the water. there should. so you. know the coalition that it has built has been basically destroying yemen killing yemeni civilians and now it's a common. international talk the saudis not refrain from even killing babies. indiscriminate bombardment of civilian areas in yemen for the past thirty months.

now then the cryptocurrency bitcoin has once again to fight its critics spiking above eighteen thousand dollars at one point today but before you jump in here is a cautionary tale and he said. it's calling labels the hottest car and see no one is using his past milestone off to milestone but the rising value of the cryptocurrency has attracted both investors and criminals alike here's an idea of how much has gone into the pockets of hackers and elsewhere as we look at three of the most infamous cases. this recent case involves mining marketplace nice hash who faced elected uses something was wrong when visitors were greeted with a maintenance notice quickly discovered that nice hash wallets were completely empty and all of the bitcoin had been transferred to one single wallet totaling

over sixty two million dollars the company's advice to use this change in policy is . this involves a cryptocurrency exchange convinced it's multifaceted layers of security and hackable it created a system with multi signature wallets where keys were divided among onus and transactions had to be cosigned they're even bold enough to state the era of commingle and custom of bitcoin or of the associated skirt exposures is well famous last words one hundred twenty thousand units were stolen from the exchange platform valued then at around seventy two million dollars. now here's the low tech crypto fail a british man claims he accidentally threw a hard drive containing coin private keys into a local rubbish dump along with his household waste he says he's now considering digging up that until well that could be eighty million dollars in there so that we

have it the bitcoin community has been rattled by intelligent hacking exposing security flaws and even catus management these three cases alone including the final mishap have seen the loss of at least two hundred fourteen million dollars worth of bits going but despite the security issues that have plagued cryptocurrency is over the is the price of bitcoin. it needs to skyrocket is there even predictions that if this continues by this rate this time next year that it could be worth more than the entire world's wealth one single bitcoin while the call is a fifteen million dollars it's the use of bitcoin as a currency is still highly questionable for the moment it's being treated less like a currency and more like a store of value and of course we should be forgetting the volatile roller coaster trip it's taken to get here so hang on for the right if you're brave enough. to she said she reporting there now a italy's biggest oil firm has been accused of dumping tons of toxic waste off the

coast of sicily for decades and creating a health crisis in the by times residents of jailor do blame a company for a string of birth defects as well as other serious illnesses. i was born this way it's not easy i don't have friends like other people do the others tell me i'm normal like everyone else but these are just words. to my son that's missing the whole front of his mouth and the whole hell of inside we went to the hospital on our own and there we understood that it wasn't a generic issue that the doctors told us no it has to do with there's

a petrochemical refinery in your neighborhood so i don't but i'm angry because without this pollution our children would have been normal like all the others who would have had a normal life. by fifteen year old son asks me if i'll ever have a family one day my children be like me i ask myself what did i do wrong in life i mean you just cannot accept such as i will not be happy because my daughter is like this and she will always be like the. well the italian oil giant there in question any has hit back at those allegations of triggering a health crisis it does claim is no connection between the high rate of birth defects there and its activities near sicily however they say they have been affected have taken matters to the court has their lawyer. there's no family that hasn't been affected by it human limits and there are no months in

which a mile from asian of birth is not recorded we decided to interest through judiciary inspection the explanation of the reason and the means by which search malformations and schumer illnesses could have been linked to industrial pollution if you're watching our international bring you up to date don't forget if you get a chance have a look at our website at r.t. dot com and see more on that. welcome to the alex salmond's sure and to a packed blacks special in the week will the full extent of buttons blacks that brought us was laid bare we have two or three b.'s across the main parties to try

and make some sense of it all for start we have what's a labor m.p. kate hoey two weeks ago we featured our stuff campbell who said it was time to bed that nokia applies she says the state just to get on with it then we have the chair under very still the commons select committee an international trade debating that kiba next edition the u.k. government and the european commission have even started to negotiate trade we've kicked off the debate of the s.n.p. neil and tory m.p. nigel evans. and as we damage shape will be bringing us up to date with the other great political drama the one being played out across the atlantic is for the first time in pitch print of donald j. triumph a genuine possibility the first year semesters let's hear what you have to say anyway it says a cracking show today the interview of mr macaskill was subject matter which still fascinates even to this the meanest talking about the lockerbie case of course but on the same subject what hearsay is in view of the contradictory statements both

alex salmon and kenny macaskill of made about the lockerbie case when enemy out of office i'm left baffled by the respective position. my view of lockerbie has been governed by the scottish criminal keith review commission report first published an abridged form in two thousand and seven and later after years of fighting in its fool form and people want to know if you read that report and it tells you two things first that the forensic case that was bill is hugely impressive that's the one that leads the trail to malta and to libya but there dent the case and evidence which helped convict mr mclaughlin he is the very least suspect not least because mr gauci the key the key witness was paid after the event and by the american authorities but still paid which is not something that we encourage in the scottish traditional system. now on and on for marvin again on the same subject says just watch the show fascinating stuff indeed about lockerbie can you say is the court in

your opinion was the reason for the plane being blown up was it just a terrorist incident or something more sinister while our on and on i think it was a terrorist incident and i think that's probably sinister enough patricia atkinson says. it's been a shit reporter scott in the brand in the world the fashion show tonight from her nomic sam and yes patricia it is great to see the scope of the brand concept been so successful in the fashion world and gold money finally says excellent third episode detail point zero quake the state it's nice to see that moment when you're handed over well globally i have to confess we we run a store there the quake's back and this episode and i'll make sure that all the guests from last week receive the cup of kindness. two weeks ago former don't leave spend dr i was there campbell told us to ben black's it today a labor m.p. for votes ok who it puts the opposite point of view kate hoey welcome whereas here

you state your case. breck's it has been redefined by so many people since the referendum that it's worth reminding ourselves just what the people voted for last year and independent united kingdom with control over our laws our borders and our money it was not a vote out of spite history or fear of any other people or country but a desire to be like most of the rest of the world trading freely and cooperating with neighbors parliament voted overwhelmingly before the referendum to accept its result and the government repeated that promise in an expensive pump flip delivered to every home it must go ahead to show the british people that politicians can keep their promises it will go ahead so that we have the freedom to choose our own

future with laws being made in our parliament and not through the anti democratic procedures of the e.u. and that will go ahead so that we get the benefits of being the independent country that we all voted for we need to be freed to improve our labor laws worker's rights our environment and animal welfare standards and to invest money where we choose in our public services for example and not be subject to state rules the greatest opportunities for trade expansion now i lie beyond the european union that we want to continue trading freely with the other twenty seven countries to any suggestion that when we renege on our commitments now i would mean following the e.u. on its in evitable path to ever closer union and this is precisely what the british people rejected last year leaving the e.u. will allow us to become a proud global country internet.
