the united states. in the upcoming winter. has conflicting statements within minutes of each other on the program and people on the streets of new york. might no longer be taking. states.

but failed to include. human rights watchdog. friday morning headlines international all of us here thanks for joining us. more than one hundred palestinians have been injured after protests across the west bank and gaza turned violent tear gas rubber bullets and live ammunition used by israeli police as they clashed with demonstrators and the tensions spiking after u.s. president decision to recognize the capital of israel. which of course is also claimed by the palestinians.

on the clashes have escalated beyond mayor street skirmishers israeli defense force time so an aircraft carried out strikes on two hamas positions in gaza the israeli army says it was in retaliation for a rocket attack despite the fact that a group not linked to hamas already took responsibility for that attack however donald trump's decision to recognize jerusalem as israel's capital has been met with some frustration at home hundreds of protesters took to the streets of chicago

to condemn the decision by the state department was also on the receiving end of some concern. do you believe that this decision in any way here is the pursuit of peace and the united states. we've made clear president has made clear that he hopes it hopes advance this process helps move it forward quizzical should you think it in any way impair the pursuit of peace and what you hope i want to know if you think it is impaired your efforts i can't make that judgment at this point not even given the negative reaction was that you've seen in arab capitals among some of your allies along the palestinians now again we will judge by what actually happens with those parties as we deal with this process as we carry on discussions with them again we're not going to. driven by a state so is intrinsic sin with the idea that you would also be negotiating at the table in less you can acknowledge what we're all trying to get you to say which you

think you are absolutely i don't think that you have but but the idea that it may be that is that jerusalem is the capital but perhaps in final status negotiations that it might be not the divine or the united capital i will only address one more point on this what were the words the president used it was a very simple statement recognition of jerusalem as the capital of israel there are words you might want to put in there he didn't there were jim i want to take out he did an international response against america's unilateral recognition of jerusalem is gathering steam some leaders have already condemned trump's decision and the u.n. security council will hold a special meeting on the issue today and one of the initiators of the meeting that out of bolivia we spoke to the country's u.n. envoy. the u.s. decision to acknowledge jerusalem as the capital of israel is a threat to international order and safety of

a global protest against trump's decision. to me as a leader mahmoud abbas should such a step that damage u.s. image as a mediator in the peace process we hope that the situation will be resolved peacefully and that the international community will exercise its influence to help our stine become an independent state. meanwhile the u.s. is boosting security in the region and issued a travel alert for americans there after friday was declared a day of rage with pro palestinian groups vowing that trump will pay dearly for his decision. more details to my colleague. now we've heard the first threat against the u.s. because of trans decision and if that threat comes to fruition there was really serious consequences so one minister group in iraq has been directly threatening let's have a listen to what they have to say trump stupid decision will be the big spark for removing israel from the body of the islamic nation 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 how to cut 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 if this threat is real is it appears to be how many people will 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 a 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. but it's potentially not only very few soldiers there could be a risk to no not at all there are 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 or who will be forced to move to jerusalem as and when that happens they're going to be really worried. what we have seen today is that. an iranian backed militia called the hardaker it was below a nigga threaten the u. us and its personnel in iraq that they will be a target for this militia as a result of this u.s. declare mission and it will probably increase tension between the iraqi people

and american personnel as in iraq not not just only in baghdad but also in other. capitals now with or without this group is going to carry out attacks against american interests in iraq and or not it will be seen but definitely this you are sticking on edge and has instigated tension among the arab sun muslims all over the middle east and we will probably see more is collisions in the coming hours and days. there's confusion over whether the u.s. will take part in the upcoming winter olympics in south korea a white house spokesperson sarah saunders tweeted that the country is looking forward to the games although security remains a top priority but just hours before she had implied the team might not even be going. fishel decision has been made on now and will keep us posted as those

decisions are made the spokes person had been quizzed after the us ambassador to the un claimed america's participation in the upcoming games in south korea was open to question as the korean peninsula poses a security threat. on the streets of new york now gauging reaction. it turns out that a very well known country may not be participating in the upcoming olympic games and it's got nothing to do with russia or doping in fact it's the united states q the u.s. ambassador to the united nations is that a done deal or the united states recommending that our team goes or is that still an open question as environment there has there is an open question i have not heard anything about that but i do know that in the talks that we have whether it's tourism whether it's north korea it's always about how do we protect the u.s. citizens in the area now let's see if people here are aware that their team may not be going to the winter games what country may not be sending any athletes to the

olympic games is it a russia b. north korea or c. the united states a russia russia. the united states and why it's unclear how to get a chance to read the article a new nikki haley threw it out there and i'm not sure exactly why we're not going to participate but i'll be a little more informed major that they have been jammed all morning i see no reason why we should and so is united states yes nikki haley at the u.s. yesterday said we may not be participating what do you think of that. wow that's ridiculous terrible the u.s. olympic committee says there is no need to worry that there is no talk of not going to the games. we've not had any discussions either internally or with our government partners about the possibility of not taking teams to the twenty eighteen elim picken paralympic winter games so no need to worry that well to be fair there are quite a few anxieties swarming around the korean peninsula north korea recently went as far as saying that with a war it's not

a matter of if but when the successive large scale nuclear war exercises conducted by the us are creating a touch and go situation on the korean peninsula and the series of warlike remarks coming from high level u.s. politicians in these circumstances have made the outbreak of war on the korean peninsula a certainty the remaining question now is when will the war break out that one chinese newspaper has actually issued a nuclear strike survival guide china is currently conducting military drills meanwhile south korea reassures everyone that everything at the olympic games is going to be completely safe and normal meanwhile there are u.s. bombers flying overhead in war games rehearsing for an all out war with the north cable mopp and artsy new york. in an effort to combat tax avoidance the e.u. is blacklisted seventeen countries as off shore states however it failed to include

its own members which is tax havens that's according to the human rights and legal watchdog oxfam. the blacklisting process has been surrounded by secrecy putting citizens in the dark and leaving tax havens free to use their political and economic leverage to get themselves off the e.u. blacklist. oxfam claims that four e.u. members are ireland luxembourg the netherlands and malta should all have been put on this a blacklist ultimately a so-called or conduit to offshore financial centers such countries act as an intermediate destinations for money transferred to tax havens they also provide favorable tax policies to ensure a quote quiet funds flow it means the mediators to actually protect the reputations of their client countries financial common how to create charlie boyle believes the e.u.'s made ineffectual attempts to clean up its image after the twenty sixteen panama papers scandal it was

a an attempt to be seen to be doing something internationally about the offshore havens the problem is inside it's inside the e.u. london is one of the biggest financial centers and it has the the this this transfer pricing policy which which makes it. virtually zero percent for the big corporations in terms of corporation tax and it's also. saving in big savings in vietti as well so again it's it's a totally an unfair what i found most interesting is the palomar papers and read paradise papers and the leaks to do with that there's a lot of uproar but i'm amazed at how quickly it's died down it doesn't matter who's on the list or who who's not on the list it's a case of the existing. business practices in those countries as well but it doesn't address the wider problem of the tax policies an individual western countries all across the world including the e.u. . cryptocurrency bitcoin has defied critics after its price reached

new highs on thursday it rocketed above nineteen thousand dollars for the first time before slipping back slightly before you go ahead and jump in to invest is a word of caution from our to use any show seti. it's calling labels the hottest currency no one is using his past milestone off the 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 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 bit coin 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 the 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 had to become assigned there even bold enough to state the era of commingle and custom of bitcoin and all 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 calling but despite the security issues that have plagued cryptocurrency is over the is the price of bits quick. ten years to skyrocket is there even predictions that if this continues by this rate this time next year if it could be west more than the entire world's wealth one single bitcoin will be cool 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 now and of course we should be forgetting the bonus how roller coaster trip it's taken to get here so hang on to the right if you're brave enough meantime great progress has been made an artificial intelligence experts remain divided on what the rise of all thomas machines means for humanity those details on much more.

here's what people have been saying about rejected in the senate is. the only show i go out of my way to find you know some really packs a punch oh yeah it is the john oliver of mark to your marriage is going to say we are apparently better than. the c. people you've never heard of low taxes the next president of the world bank so very

. seriously send us an e-mail. thanks for joining us here on this friday as artificial intelligence continues to integrate into our everyday lives a growing chorus of criticism is highlighting the dangers of handing control to machines for example there's now a supercomputer that can create an artificially intelligent child it can recognize objects such as cars and people in real time while performing any human made algorithms another system made by google has created a machine that took just four hours to learn the rules of chess i'm being told world leading program meanwhile tech giant facebook says its program can detect

suicidal behavior by analyzing user information and facebook c.e.o. mark zuckerberg believes this is all just the beginning in the future they will be able to understand more of the subtle nuances of language and will be able to identify different issues beyond suicide as well meanwhile in russia artificial intelligence could be taken to a whole new level that if it wins the presidency there's been a call for alisa a virtual reality assistant developed by russia's tech giant yandex to give law to me a poet in a run for his money in next year's election and she's already a familiar voice to many russian gadget users and she's promised to make use of her logic skills instead of the fact that she's not influenced by emotions would make her an ideal candidate for russia's top job to get the most that's when you work hard to make our lives better or i'm already doing this don't you see that

do you think you're fit to rule the country i've solved more challenging tasks. i suggest you run for president would you put dissipate in the election or i can try. thank you lisa when the going gets tough the boss get going my colleague colin bray discussing artificial intelligence is me teligent with a panel of guests and experts but i don't understand the fear part of what we need to understand with artificial intelligence is that we're just at the beginning this is just the tip of the iceberg what's going to happen in your future is that you going to have predictive analytics which will allow ai to predict your desires before you even know what you want just the thought of machines telling me what i want it already makes me uncomfortable in what we see that happening you know in our lives for twenty getting recommendations from the systems and they're constantly intervening in ways that we don't expect if we didn't ask for the future is technological so we need to start understanding it everyone it shouldn't be left

to a couple of people in industry or in government to dictate how this goes we all have to be a part of this. process of moving forward in the future with i think that we need to be careful about the idea that the future is technology and we have to adapt to it people are talking about implanting technology in the body. in question and saying the technology itself is human or is the successor to humanity even this is this is very dangerous i should this is where the line has to get drawn doesn't it really because on the one hand we all demand our devices know what we're doing where we go and make these decisions for us we carry them around in our pockets all the time and then when the first ones to moan when tech companies have information on us and seem to be able to predict our behavior we then find that creepy. and it tends to have political impact as well the people suggesting that for example the american last american election and the british vote was in poland formed by

a complex analytics manipulating the images that people related to for the very first time on this planet we're all going to have an enormous amount of power. just a few people every single one of us is going to have an enormous amount of power through the the power of ai and we have to decide as individuals and societies how we want to process that ability that that amount of power i'm. not too comfortable with the idea that. we are going to be powerful i don't know the technology is out to enslave us but i do think that technology is upset in the social balances and the economic balances and ecological balances that if evolved over millions and hundreds and dozens of years and this is the great danger you can blame the technology but it's not the technology it's us and so i disagree with the fact that we are we are separate from the technology it

is a continual separate technology and humanity has a i think the most dangerous thing to do because when self-aware machines finally arrive is that going to be the new enemy if we continue this narrative so the new narrative has to being technology is a part of us it's a reflection of who we are that is the narrative we should be thinking about. and unusual foreign affairs that has been causing a bit of a stir in the swedish capital a russian ambulance that was helping someone in need and stock drew public attention with many questioning online the reason behind it's a rather mysterious appearance a string given there must be a movie being filmed according to the number plate came from some pieces but it could be something like your russian party bus and bunch of people who hired an ambulance and went to sweden to party is it guys whose goal is to kidnap someone on the streets and take them to mother russia. this is how the situation unfolded in

stock. just let it fall or asterisk very patient first wheaten to st peter is part of their. lives while we're passing we don't just another patient in the street and a crowd signaling to the lights. the people passing by our vehicle asked us to stop and pointed at a man lying on the ground. it turned out that he had had an epileptic attack we did all we could to give him first aid. we waited for a local ambulance to come here and handed the patient over to our colleagues.

ahead of the twenty eighteen world cup here in russia he has spoken to the italian coach of spa talk moscow he shared his views on football philosophy and his experience of living here in the russian capital you can hear the full interview later today on the stan collymore show for now here's a quick preview besame of i will fan little spot that hey you know what you guys will still be driving that i just that's going to watch it that's also the better. stuff they will get all spotted like a comment you would do is just i'll be able to spot that and i thought it's over for sic i mean but then when give us what i'm good see i was at one time the queue for the. master on our squad. they can come in they all know that if you force the

vocal mic. it is r t international an uninhabited land mine strewn desert on the eastern border of iraq is not the first place you might think of setting up a business but the rewards could be rich. for ports. a lifeless hundreds of kilometers away from the nearest big city used to be as close to the middle of nowhere as you could get now thousands of people take shifts here digging for black gold. but it's not just oil buried under sand and rock here there

are mines as well the whole area was booby trap back in the eighty's during the iraq iran war in just the past few years some twenty five thousand mines have been dissolved in extracted the number is staggering in itself yet no one knows how many more are still scattered around the demining efforts is still ongoing in fact not even a quarter of the site territory has been cleared yet what this means you stick to designated driveways like this one and anywhere else is off limits like for example anywhere beyond this road even the hills over there are still ridden with bombs that really doesn't even come close to being the iraq's largest operation but the size of it is very much irrelevant here this because it's part of an exemplary multinational skill exchange platform uniting iraq south korea malaysia turkey and led by russian energy giant gazprom next. on the one hand bhadra is

a large scale program on the other hand it is one of the most difficult petroleum projects in the middle east region the wells are really deep therefore only highly technological methods can be implemented we solve this problem and that proves the high development level of our company there with the by building a gas plant we first lady met the ecological challenge and secondly we ensure the full recycling of petroleum gas which is produced along with oil in this field. all of this requires a lot of manpower of course some foreign workers are employed and brought in for the demining operation but many are locals batterer has created vital jobs for villages around the site. done of from barbara in iraq. and your new small around the world continues in about savings.

like when you on the most common problems but. if somebody would've been told me that i'm going to spend my life to plan committees are out of disco of course i would have sold it was clearly seen. every night all we were attacked by the arabs oh we will attacking them and we will extremely shocked and saying that's not possible i'll make those moves in such scenes and then disorder simple myself and know a common symptom of those books wobble some of the house without the prison or we've all gotten over they all are. barely much second class citizens in the on call. it was like a lightning in my head that there is no way to be able to live together without

tearing down the street cod. hey everybody i'm stephen bach gosh task hollywood guy the suspect every proud american first of all i'm just george bush and r.v. and do say this is my buddy max famous financial guru well just a little bit different i was going to find out the winner with no doubt with all the drama happening in our country i'm shooting the good have some fun meet everyday americans at home and look for the star to bridge the gap this is the great american people which. palestine is getting international recognition with the help of israel at least.
