i mean can our. voices in the city of the world over the street. classicism of our government of the us is. the series. truly forces respond with water cannon to gas to mass protests in the west bank boring president front moved to recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel. no one knows what will happen but dangerous days are coming to jerusalem the u.s. president makes a statement and 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 as the cryptocurrency point spikes of eighteen thousand dollars we take a look at some of the hacks and fumbles that have lost people millions. hello

good evening it's just gone midnight here in moscow you watching r.t. international now our top story this hour protests are being held across the 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 israel's by israelis and palestinians. these are pictures from the west bank protesters there have been burning tires and throwing objects that israeli security forces which have responded with tear gas these are your water cannon authorities say dozens of people have been injured in fact a producer of r.t.r. arabic was caught up in the unrest and needed medical assistance protests against from suspicion have been spreading across the middle. there. for i have determined

that it is time to officially recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel. that. no one has the right to play with the fates of the then so of people for the sake of one's personal ambitions. i could nor a palestinian missionary christian writes in jerusalem will only fuel for the extremism and undermine the war against terrorism. 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 trump saudi arabia's policy regarding the palestinians will never change

the palestinian issue is a primary concern to us. we warned the u.s. the drizzle in may stay a year of we've warned of the consequences there would occur in case the u.s. and president trying to his decision which will damage u.s. relations with the arab nations. when there are reports that dozens of people have been injured in those clashes in the west bank that life i was the stay while the israeli military just and i think of life friends palestinians are holding a general strike today with more protests expected over the coming days isn't this great promise is in fact call for a new uprising and declared friday a day israelis as well as palestinians have voiced death is the trunks decision. no one knows what will happen but then gers days. coming to jerusalem that is

definitely my fear that it will spark 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 so as we've seen and there has been a massive backlash to trump's decision he joins me live 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 great 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 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 in the fish press is real as 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

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 like the 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 or who. will be forced to move to jerusalem as my lot happens they're going to be really worried it era today there will be asked professor of political sociology dr side city whether he thought the shia militias would follow through on their threat against u.s. forces in iraq they don't think that this group is able to really attack highly. american force justice and i don't think it will be translated because they know that american will respond. more

aggressive way if this happens. but you have to also take into consideration that there is a war proxy war inside they are between iran and the united states and also has links to iran and iran feels that this is a prime. was all this muslim anger again is and i think states that such operations can take place even if it can little trouble meanwhile european leaders and the u.n. have been a quick to to voice their concerns calling washington step radical. this is your. 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 happen it is a very fragile context. the potential to send beck puts even darker

times than the ones we already living and 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 isn't helpful in terms of prospects for peace in their region well the decades long conflict between israelis and the palestinians israel has called very slim is eternal capital a claim most of the international community rejects and because of the dispute those countries have an embassy there and the western part of the city is predominantly israeli and the eastern part is palestinian the holy sites are always the sense to be sure and when they're when they are threatened there's often been unrest and violence while the israeli prime minister prays strums decision to invited more countries to follow the u.s. example america has long been an ally of israel with relation seemingly getting

stronger since donald trump took office intrigue and 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 a current administration in favor of a foreign government michael flynn trump's former national security adviser admits he called russia and asked them to delay a vote on or about december twenty second twenty lucian about being coming administrations i don't know who engineered it but take a look at this video of hyams making steps to try and get the. united nations. not go along this crowd to myself want to thank you for making that effort thank you very much just to contribute to donald trump's inauguration now there is money and also is quite close with benjamin netanyahu according to the

new york times netanyahu even borrowed the bedroom of jared 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. 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 but washington's controversial decision on jury system was among the topics to discuss the talks between the top diplomats of russia and the u.s.

so get out of rolf and rex tillerson met on the sidelines of a security conference currently being held in austria from their haze peter on the . 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 that the decision by the united states to move their embassy to jerusalem so again said that he asked rex tillerson why the procedure is that we ask them to clarify the points of the decision to move the u.s. embassy in israel from tel aviv to jerusalem we asked them about the consequences from this move mediating efforts on the part of the u.n. we have a lot of questions and drew their attention to the concerns from both the arab and muslim countries could undermine or even bury negotiations 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 integrity. the integrity of the borders of syria must be protected on a rock 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 said he loved saying to washington that their actions their military maneuvers both on the peninsula itself and in the nearby area wrist 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 kiev must stick to what it signed up for in the minsk agreement in the violations of minsk agreement must be halted

that's what came out of day one of this o.s.c. conference here in vienna they'll be back on friday more. morning and i'll be here as will bring you all the latest that comes from it. peter all over now in other news this evening u.k. soldiers could face prosecution the international criminal court in the hague over allegations of war crimes committed in iraq because chief prosecutor does say that there are reasonable grounds to believe that some troops may have abused captives between two thousand and three and two thousand and nine. reports. it's a court that seen a number of historic and high profile trials of war criminals including the cases of slobodan milosevic rod crime lab ditch and charles taylor and now the international criminal court in the hague is looking into british troops ledge to war crimes against detainees chairing the iraq conflict i received three years

after u.k. troops officially pulled out of iraq the only things chief prosecutor has said that there is a reasonable basis to believe that british soldiers unlawfully killed prisoners during the. u.s. led war. i was in investigations of these crimes which where they. are not there done that is it 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. asian of iraq was based on the false pretext that saddam hussein had weapons of mass destruction.

in the past the international criminal court has been accused of racism and imperialism by pursuing predominantly african politicians the probe into british soldiers alleged war crimes would see the court investigating one of its main backus victims and their families will be hoping to see the i.c.c. deliver justice where the british government wasn't able to. go artsy london. know them the cryptocurrency bit calling has once again defied its critics by spiking above eighteen thousand dollars a few hours ago but before you jump in is a cautionary tale for martys and this is sexy. it's calling labels the hope his current seen no one is using his past milestone off to milestone but the rising value of the crypto currency 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 in that it 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 wallets 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 own is and transactions how to become assigned their 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 who 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 there even predictions that if this continues by this rate this time next year it's going could be worth more than the entire world's wealth one single bitcoin will equal is it fifteen million dollars 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 ride if you're brave enough. 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 turns residents of juggler blame the company for a string of birth defects as well as of the 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 holy 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 touch of chemical refinery in your neighborhood so i don't but i am angry because without this pollution of our children it would have been normal like all the others would have had a normal life. by fifteen year old son asks me if i'll ever have a family one day but my children be like me i ask myself why 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 this. well the italian or jointing question there any hit back of the allegations of triggering

a health crisis it does claim there's no connection between the high rate of birth defects and its activities near sicily however those who say they have been affected taking court action is their lawyer. i mean there's no family that hasn't been affected by a tumor illness and there are no months in which a malformation of birth is not recorded we decided to entrust to a judiciary inspection the explanation of the reason and the means by which search malformations and tumor illnesses could have been linked to industrial pollution. it's emerged that the bulk of funding for research to wipe out disease spreading pests that use mosquitoes does come from a u.s. agency i mean viral mentalists you trace where the money is coming from and i can see that the technology being developed might get misused or even lead to an ecological disaster what's concerning about a gene drive is that genetically engineered organism that's designed to spread and

it will spread inexorably until it takes over an entire population so that means you just have to release one single specimen of this organism say a single mosquito or a single mouse and then through sexual reproduction it spreads its trait until it takes over there is a strong concern that you could use a gene growth system to stretch to spread a deleterious trait you could for example try to cause a artist to fail or there have been suggestions that you could genetically engineer a flying insects such as mosquitoes to potentially deliver something that's harmful and then spread that through a whole population of skeeters if you have a military agency or the military agencies in the driving seat of a technology that could be used as a very powerful carrier for a bio weapon. obviously the question comes up whether it's going to have dual use. well the researchers focused on modifying species d.n.a.

so populations can inherit design changes however given the potential for abuse the united nations is considering a moratorium on the project e-mails obtained by e.t.c. do show that the u.s. military has in fact invested one hundred billion dollars in the project so far the u.s. defense department stopper agency has seven research groups working on the biological engineering but many of its activities are believed to be kept under wraps in the interest of national security jim thomas again describes how the development of genetic modification technologies has progressed over time we knew that the u.s. military was interested in doing drugs and we were funding to a certain level but what's become clear is that probably the major funder of gene drive research and development files seem to suggest that they have in the case of darpa the defense advanced research projects agency around one hundred million dollars worth of funding the idea of a gene drive which spreads

a genetic trait through an entire population is a potentially very powerful carrier for a bio weapon they say the reason they're interested is so they can pick up this bio weapon if it was used by hostile actors that they could be able to detect to monitor and disable gene drives as a bio weapon but what's concerning of course in the process they're actually building this technology and acquiring the ability to use that although it's known that there's these military potential uses the field is always described as being about trying to deal with malaria or trying to be conservation uses but what we're now discovering is the u.s. military that seems to be significantly in the driving seat. darpa has responded to some of those concerns raised a bridge genetic research it does say the project has been mischaracterized and that it is committed to being fully transparent. so that brings up so that you're watching out a good to have
