israeli forces respond with water cannon to gas to mass protests in the west bank following president trump's move to recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel. no one knows what will happen but dangerous days are coming to jerusalem u.s. president makes a statement that these really citizens will need to pay the price for the controversial decision on jerusalem is also discussed at the meeting between the top diplomats of russia and america along with the crises in syria ukraine and north korea and the currency calling spikes and eighteen thousand dollars earlier today we take a look at some of the hacks and fumbles of lost people millions. hello
3:01 pm
there welcome it's just going eleven o'clock in the evening here in moscow you watching r.t. international our top story 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 has long been contested by israelis and palestinians. well here are some pictures from the west bank protesters there have been burning tires and throwing objects israeli security forces responded with tear gas and water cannon authorities to say dozens of people have been injured in fact a producer from r.t. arabic was caught up in the armrest and needed medical assistance protests against drums decision spreading across the middle east. therefore i have determined
3:02 pm
that it is time to officially recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel. no one has the right to play with the fates of audience of people for the sake of one's own personal ambition. i ignoring the publisher the missionary christian rights in jerusalem will only fuel for the extremism and i'll get my liver against terrorism. such. 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
3:03 pm
palestinian issue is a primary concern to us. we warned the u.s. the jerusalem a staging area we've warned of the consequences there would occur in case the u.s. and president trying to this decision which will damage u.s. relations with the arab nations. well there are reports that dozens have been injured in clashes in the west bank and the life i was also used although the israeli military just and i the use of live frames palestinians are holding a general strike also with more protests expected over the coming days isn't this great hamas has called for a new uprising and declared friday a day of rage israelis as well as palestinians are fully steph is taking over trump's decision. no one knows what will happen if you. the dangerous days are
3:04 pm
coming to jerusalem that is definitely my fear that it will spark violence hopefully it won't. and i think unfortunately a u.s. president makes a statement and the israeli citizens will need to pay the price for it so as we've seen has been a massive backlash to trump's decision he joined me earlier in the studio with the latest. so the immediate reaction after trying to declare jerusalem is 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 trumps decision and if that threat comes to fruition there is really serious consequences that 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
3:05 pm
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 the fact popular mobilization forces and it is considered to be one of the most important militia groups there and if this threat 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 that situation in iraq there but it's potentially not only value soldiers there that could be at 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
3:06 pm
moving it would become an absolute target for various terrorist groups we've seen in the past in benghazi if you remember them in libya like they were 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 all. who will be forced to move to jerusalem as my lot happens they're going to be really worried and do to their world in response the u.s. defense department has said it is ready to respond to any kind of threat to american interests will we get the thoughts now of political analysts by mustapha him he joins us live good evening to you i'm not sure if you heard much of that there from that report but essentially one of the latest developments shia militias in iraq have said that they will attack u.s. forces how dangerous is that development.
3:07 pm
hello and thanks for having me well andrew this is a very serious threat that was not just a started by the shiite movement in iraq and the job by is a popular movement that has been fighting and it's still fighting eisel terrorist groups in iraq and they have had a major role in defeating terrorism and pushing it back in iraq but the point is that iran some four decades ago since its sort of illusion happened it has already stated several times its leaders various leaders and officials that the only solution to the palestinian issue is holding the referendum by the indigenous population and thereby the about a couple of years ago the iranian leader came forward to say that the situation would have to be prepared the ground would be prepared unless an armed struggle is also started in the west bank and they should follow suit of the mosque and the cause us troops many valid in that i that time and said that this may not happen
3:08 pm
but now last night after the decision by donald trump sr negotiated a palestinian negotiator marwan barghouti came forward and appeared in an interview to say that the decision by the white house was a nail in the coffin of the peace talks and an uprising in the offing and would soon start and he's already started so there is that a couple of steps of peace negotiations two arms struggle all across the palestinian lands and probably all throughout the month of the war the first major move which is more difficult is given up all the fault that's what the decision by the white house the second move which would be very easy considering the israeli atrocities and barbaric moves including their error rate that just started in the gaza strip is that turning the authorising into an arms struggle that would happen very soon so we are major you know mainly with. listening to the landmark moons of
3:09 pm
that started by the white house and it would surely increase the momentum of the development of the power you know with regard to the palestinian issue what needs to be done side for there to be a deescalation here because the un security council will meet tomorrow what are your hopes that anything will come from that. not at all you know unfortunately you know these really regime has been this this respecting all the international rules regulations u.n. security council resolutions including solution two for two three sixty five these two are solutions were disregarded and violated by the united states last night and by east rail to. these really regime has proved that it doesn't understand any language but the language of force in practice we are witnessing the instance the
3:10 pm
latest instance of the you are with us or against us policy of george w. bush it has found its the meaning great now because some arab allies of the united states led by solve have to be blamed for this development they have had tight cooperation with israel they have been steering sectarian strife in the muslim war to draw the attention of the muslim world and the whole war to the sectarian strife and differences in the muslim world in order to sightline the palestinian issue basically donald trump and the united states apparently they have felt that if we take this move nothing is going to happen the palestinian issue has been sidelined at the time when people have been getting killed by the nonstop air raids of sol the arabia in yemen and over twenty thousand people civilians have been killed and nothing has been done with regard to solve the arabiya they are still selling arms
3:11 pm
to them at such a time and nothing special would be done by the world community against such a decision that it's the reason why they you know they've been bold and. you know adopt this kind of policy why do you think america went ahead with this decision in the sense that what does it have to gain here because it must have known the response that was coming people had warned american downward from said ministration of the potential reaction so why would they go ahead with that decision. well i'm through i just explain one of the reasons at a time when the world has forgotten apparently had forgotten the palestinian issue because of other you know all the crises throughout the world including the korean peninsula the crisis with regard to iran as nuclear issue and many others including the syria five they felt that nothing specific special would be done with regard to
3:12 pm
such an action and other reason has been you know the type cooperation of all some fourteen or fifteen arab states led by saudi arabia you know they've been teaming up with israel and the united states against iran so they felt that nothing specific would be done by these arab states in the meantime i believe personally that this in your hole and donald trump are helping each other with their judicial cases this will improve and enhance the political stance netanyahu at a time when he's going to go on their interrogations as well as donald trump who has been you know of in the scandal of mike flynn case i personally believe that he will receive some reciprocal and appreciative moves by the israeli lobbies in washington including aipac in order to lay pressure on x.
3:13 pm
in the general muller to drop any kind of muscle charges against him donald trump and his son in law jared kirshner so this i believe is many many others believe that this could be triggering the armageddon and the war of all wars this dissolution by the white house looks i really couldn't tell if he appreciates your analysis on this is that a guy that was particularly cite the staff a question thank you. now european leaders and the u.n. meanwhile were also quick to voice their concerns calling washington step radical. to this is you hold 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 come a conflict rather it fuels it even more it's in everyone's interest that does not
3:14 pm
happen it is a very fragile context. meant the potential to send as beck puts even darker times than the ones we already living in we disagree with the u.s. decision to move its embassy to jerusalem and recognize jerusalem as israeli capital before any final status agreement we believe it is somehow for in terms of prospects for peace in their region or 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 to the oldest islamic one you meant still in existence and also there too is the mosque the third holiest site in islam islam while the city is at the very heart of the decades long conflict between the israelis and the palestinians and israel calls jerusalem its
3:15 pm
eternal capital a claim most of the international community rejects though because of the dispute no countries and then besieged there the western part of the city is predominantly israeli well sorry to them part two is palestinian and the holy sites are particularly sensitive areas and when threatened there's often been unrest and violence the israeli prime minister praised trumps decision calling it a story he also invited more countries to follow the u.s. example america has long been an ally of israel with relations seemingly getting stronger since donald trump took office and it's kind of more pain now explains there's plenty of intrigue on just how close the ties are between team trump and israel. 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
3:16 pm
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 then recently a member of the presidential transition team directed fully into context officials from foreign governments to learn where each government stood 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
3:17 pm
council. to. not go along this crowd and myself want to thank you make that out 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 lobbyist spank rolling 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 how long we've known you. oh it was never small it was always big it's always told but. i've known the president and i've known his family and his team for
3:18 pm
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 the talks between the top diplomats of russia and next to this and met on the sidelines of a security conference in austria from there hayes said that he asked to listen this could undermine. also on the agenda in forthcoming that's elsewhere around the world the situation on the korean peninsula of course was on the agenda said he loved the role of saying to washington that there are actions there military maneuvers both on the peninsula itself. and in the nearby area rist escalating the

3:21 pm
cannot go down that is was. the in the cases where the fact that it was. intended as a signatory to the room statute the u.k. is one of the founding members of the i.c.c. but despite being one of the driving forces behind the creation of the court when it comes to allegations directed at britain itself the u.k. says there is no need for the i.c.c. is involvement we are confident that our existing efforts to investigate allegations preclude the need for any investigation by the i.c.c. i had the british government sixty million pounds of rock historical allegations team was shot down earlier this year accused of a lack of professionalism it didn't result in any prosecutions and the long awaited chilcote inquiry which came a year before that concluded that the two thousand and and three. of iraq was based
