more than one hundred. participation in the upcoming winter olympics in south korea is conflicting. on the program we asked people to. take part.

that's according to human rights watchdog. worldwide headlines on the hour every hour here on r.t. international 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 even live ammunition used by israeli police as they clashed with demonstrators in the tensions spiked after u.s. president donald trump. the capital of israel is jerusalem which was also claimed by the palestinians.

and the clashes have escalated beyond mayor street as israeli defense force tanks and 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 a group not linked to hamas already took responsibility for that attack meantime however trump's decision to recognize. israel's capital has been met with some frustration hundreds of protesters took to the streets of chicago to condemn the decision the state department was on the receiving end of some concerns as well. do

you believe that this decision in any way. peace of the united states. we've made clear person has made clear that he hopes it hopes to dance this process helps move it for a closer question is do you think it in any way here is the pursuit of peace and what you hope i wonder if you think it is impaired your efforts i can't make that judgment at this point if you can given the negative reaction was that you. are among some of your allies. now again we will judge 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 be driven by a state its engine system 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 are absolutely. i 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 the united capital i've only addressed one more point on this what were the words the president he 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. the u.s. vice president mike pence who was due to visit the region later this month may now have to cancel a senior official within the palestinian government says pence is not welcome in any meeting with the leader mahmoud abbas is simply out of the question. well an international response against america's unilateral recognition of jerusalem is gathering steam some world leaders have condemned decision and the u.n. security council will hold a special meeting on the issue today and one of the initiators of the meeting was

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 the global protest against trump's decision group's palestinian leader mahmoud abbas said such a step that damaged the 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 has issued a travel alert for americans that's after friday was declared a day of rage is calling for a new intifada rebellion against israel other palestinian groups vowing to trample pay dearly for his decision if you were to discuss the situation with my colleague and your father. now we've heard the first threat against the u.s.

because of trams decision and if that threat comes to fruition there is really serious consequences there 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 a 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 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 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 it 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 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 or who will be forced to move to jerusalem as a lot happens they're going to be really worried. what we have seen today is that on an iranian backed militia called the hoc it was below

a nigga. that you us and its personnel in iraq that they will be a target for this militia as a result of this us a declaration and it will probably increase tension between the iraqi people and american personnel as in iraq not not just on me 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 arabs and muslims all over the middle east and we will probably see more is collisions in the coming hours and days. some confusion over whether the u.s. will take part in the upcoming winter olympics in south korea white house

spokesperson sara saunders tweeted that the country is looking forward to the games although security is the top priority but just hours before she had implied the team might not even be going no official decision has been made on now and will keep us posted as those decisions are made the spokes person had been quizzed after the u.s. ambassador to the u.n. claimed america's participation in the upcoming games in south korea was open to question as the korean peninsula poses a security threat. and has been gauging reaction on the streets of new york. 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 cue the u.s. ambassador to the united nations is that a done deal or even as the united states recommending that our team goes or is that still an open question is 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 the united states and why it's unclear i get a chance to read the article i know 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 for major the day i've been shammed all morning i see no reason why we should so as united states yes nikki haley at the un's yesterday said we may not be participating what do you think of that. wow it's ridiculous it's 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 a limp it can power olympic 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 one as far as saying that with a war it's not a matter of if but when the success of large scale nuclear war exercises conducted by the u.s. or 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. now 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 mop and artsy new york. in an effort to combat tax avoidance the e.u. has a blacklisted seventeen countries as offshore states however it failed to include its own members which to as tax havens that's according to the human rights and legal bush dog 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. claims that for e.u. members ireland luxemburg the netherlands and malta should have been put on the blacklist or actually our so-called conduit offshore financial centers now such countries act as intermediate destinations for money transfer to tax havens they also provide favorable tax policies to ensure

hash who faced in there to do uses something was wrong when visitors were greeted with a maintenance notice quickly discovered that nice hush wallets were completely empty and all of the bitcoin had been transferred to one single wallet totaling sixty two million dollars the company's advice to use this change of policy is. this involves a credit to currency 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 the norm 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 bitcoin 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 right 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 so 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 volatile roller

coaster trip it's taken to get hit so hang on for the right if you're brave enough . meantime great progress has been made an artificial intelligence experts remain divided on what the rightful tone of machines could mean for humanity and more. what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line. they get accepted or

rejected. so when you want to express. something want to. watch it right. this is what. you get. interested always at the wall. it is good to have you with us today for the program as artificial intelligence continues to integrate into our everyday lives a growing chorus of criticism is highlighting the dangers of handing control to machines there's now a super computer that can create an artificially intelligent child it can recognize objects such as cars and people in real time well out performing any human made

algorithms and other system made by google has created a machine that took just four hours to learn the rules of chess and beat a world leading program meanwhile john facebook says its program can detect suicidal behavior by analyzing user information and facebook c.e.o. mark zuckerberg believes that this is 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 here in russia artificial intelligence could be taken to a whole new level deaths if it wins the presidency there's been a call for a lease or a virtual reality assistant developed by russia's tech giant ja index to give a run for his money in next year's election she's already a familiar voice to many russian gadget users and she's promised to make use of her logic skills and says 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 i am already doing this don't you see that do you think you are fit to rule the country i have solved more chair and tasks. i live for at least i suggest you run for president when you put as a page in the election. i can try thank you alisa when the going gets tough the boss get going. my colleague discussing artificial intelligence now with a panel of experts. well 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 you what i want it already

makes me uncomfortable and what we see that happening you know in our lives once and we're getting recommendations from these systems and they're constantly intervening in ways that we don't expect that 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 really because on the one hand we all demand 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 we 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 a political impact as well the people suggesting that for example the american last american election and the british vote was in poland formed by 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 not just a few people every single one of us is going to have an enormous amount of power through the power of ai and we have to decide as individuals and societies how we want to process that ability that that amount of. 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 is 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 for a visit it has been causing a bit of a stir in the swedish capital a russian villains that was helping someone in need in stockholm to public attention with some questioning online the reason behind its mysterious affair. 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. but. let's just let it all or asterisk very patient first we tend to think there is fertile. while we're talking we don't just another patient in the street and a crowd signaling to wise. people asking why 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 had all we could to give him

first aid. we waited for a local ambulance to come in and handed the patient over to our colleagues the. head of the twenty eight thousand feet for world cup in russia r.t. has spoken to the italian coach of spartak moscow and shared his views on football philosophy and his experience appearing right living right here in our moscow you can hear the full interview later in the day on the stand callable show but for now a quick preview. besame about that affair little spot that they. watch it doesn't arrive in the us yet this is going up what you thought those were but. they will

get a spot comment you were doing was able to spot that and i thought it's over for sic ivy's but then when you know what i'm good see always a good time to queue for the. mass so on our squad. they can he come in they all know that if you force the vocal mic squad up call them with your knee. and with your knee about it in fourth down to anything it's off. in the meantime for now from media. your friday worldwide news headlines here on r t international we are back varies.
