on the participation of its ounces it's in the upcoming winter olympics in south korea as conflicting statements emerge within minutes of each other they are people on the streets of new york if they can guess which country might no longer be taking part. russian. states. wow. thank you for watching the news headlines here at r.t. international broadcasting live from moscow i'm kate partridge. more than one hundred palestinians have been injured after protests turned violent across the west bank and gaza tear gas rubber bullets and even live ammunition were used by israeli police as they clashed with demonstrators the tensions escalated after u.s. president donald trump's decision to recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel which is also claimed by palestinians.

i. know. all the international response against america's unilateral recognition of jerusalem is gathering steam some world leaders have condemned trump's decision the un 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 un envoy a year recall mostly local mock up the thought of the u.s.

decision to acknowledge jerusalem as the capital of israel it's a threat to international order and safety the global protest against trump's decision the palestinian leader mahmoud abbas said such a step would damage 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 the palestine become an independent state. and to discuss this further i'm now joined by dr julian riches of the center for security and intelligence studies at the university of buckingham thank you very much indeed for joining us well palestinian groups are already calling for a new into father against israel i mean how dangerous is the situation. it's potentially very dangerous at the moment and there's no doubt that this statement from the us president has thrown a very large rock into the pool of international politics regional politics and

caused very serious setbacks potentially for the peace process of course this is one of the most explosive and controversial areas of the world in terms of global politics and has such far reaching implications for relations between the muslim world and the western world and this is the general feeling is that this is no help at all. well there are also direct threats against the u.s. i mean how much is this a concern for washington as well. what it is a concern of course there are threats against the u.s. all the time i mean one of the things we have to consider is that the threats are already at an extremely elevated level and the security services will be watching out for those all the time it's debatable whether this makes things particularly any worse but it really it really can't have helped and we've seen the response from the hamas leader here yesterday very angry you could see and. the spirit of those words was was extreme anger and this you know this poses that threat to the

u.s. no doubt. well and in particular as well i mean what measures do you think need to be taken to secure the embassies and to protect the staff there. well not just the u.s. but but a lot of its western allies even though as we've seen today a lot of the european allies coming out quite robust in. opposition to this announcement lot of embassy staff will be needing to lock down a bit needing to increase their security patrols there there is a heightened threat in in the region and elsewhere at the moment but like i say the threats are already pretty high at this at this particular time so a lot of security will be already in place and finally dr ridge the u.n. security council will meet later today to discuss this i mean what can we expect from that meeting. well we can we can expect a fairly robust conversation we can expect the european countries notably

u.k. sweden france and italy who were instrumental in calling this meeting to be fairly clear that this this is not a good move in. the minds of those countries in terms of advancing the peace process that this could actually set things back this is a very very delicate process which as we know is taken years and years and is arguably not making tremendous progress the general feeling will be the message to the u.s. will be that this this runs the risk of setting things back very severely so i think a fairly robust message a fairly robust discussion will be had at the united nations it will be interesting to see and just one in dutch which is there is just one last question i want do you think that donald trump or and the u.s. aim to achieve by making this announcement. well i think there are a number of things i mean obviously there is an element of domestic politics here donald trump is very aware that he made various promise is this this was one of the

promises he made on the campaign trail to move the embassy to jerusalem. notably one of the things he said yesterday when when he announced this was i am delivering so there's a message there to his domestic constituencies that he's a man who delivers things but you could if you were being devil's advocate you can say that progress peace process has not really progressed very well at all in recent years in fact it's rather in status at the moment so here's a man trump who likes to shake things up a bit. to throw a rock into the poll and see what happened so there may have been an intention to do that here but the general feeling is that this is the wrong approach to take this is the wrong way to do that at the moment these situations are far too delicate for this sort of robust confrontational approach which we see whether this is a very big role dr judy richards of the center for security and intelligence studies at the university of buckingham thank you very much thank you. well for more on

this one also cross live now to our correspondent sheila do bensky who's in jerusalem. can you tell us what's going on there now. well tensions are definitely rising in the last ten minutes we were actually stood by damascus gate but they seem to be scuffles there between the police and some local palestinians who'd been shouting in the streets people shouting that this is the capital of palestine this is the capital of the arabia and that the u.s. is the head of a snake now following those scuffles we did see a lot more police coming into the area security services coming to the area and then what we witnessed were the locals throwing rocks bottles of glass at not just our selves but at the police as well under security services in fact that we can put on some protective gear because one of those bottles actually came close to hitting this in the head when it smashed this is just a small indication of some of the tensions that we've seen in this area over the

last two days since that shock announcement that bombshell announcement by dong trump that he was recognizing the u.s. as recognizing jerusalem as being the capital of israel now that sparked a wave of violence not just here in jerusalem but also in the west bank and gaza and we've also seen mass protests in other muslim majority countries such as to keep indonesia malaysia candy indeed they were even violent protests in the u.s. on home soil if it donald trump in chicago over the last few days people unhappy with that decision by the don't know trump the president of the u.s. to declare that at jerusalem is now the capital of israel from the u.s.a.'s perspective well that clashes in those clashes turned violent here in israel and in the palestinian territories on thursday israel security services clashing with locals there were reports of tear. gas of rubber bullets and even live ammunition

being fired with more than one hundred palestinians actually being injured in those incidents now these really defense forces also launched two strikes in the last three days against what he says were how must targets in gaza now hummus has said that it did not. actually launch the rocket attacks which israel says it was in retaliation for in fact that's actually being claimed by another force but this is just an indication of this new violence that we're seeing here in this part of the world and that has led to see is from some israeli citizens about the tensions and the violence that could yet be to come. but we always have for you always looking around we we know that in jerusalem there's a lot of a lot of dangerous places i am around and i work in army still will rise to rice

the. situation the tension situation but i think that in about a week everything will be again i will go back there to serve as the director sam sam although you can actually there is no any really big change because i just worked it's always been a couple of minutes if you're. a problem and you're with. photos here to use them is the one and only and speak up of the jewish people policy as you know look for any excuse they can to call for every. well the israeli president benjamin netanyahu has actually said he's grateful for the u.s. president for making that decision to declare jerusalem the capital of israel but we have heard that that's been discredited by the leaders from the palestinian side and the hamas leader ismail haniyeh has actually cooled the decision between the alliance of the u.s. and israel are say tannic and that's actually called for a third intifada cool's which we heard today chance in the street by the small

group of protesters that we. witnessed here at damascus gate before everybody was moved out before those scuffles and yet again i don't if you can see but we've just moved bottles thrown in our direction this again is the holy day for muslims and it is expected that violence will erupt again today in jerusalem the back of that announcement don't trump on wednesday. as you can see that we just had another. bottle thrown at escape so i think it's getting relatively educated here in jerusalem aside the loss is probably best to you take cover the look after yourself in jerusalem thank you. now britain's prime minister's reason may has held a news conference in brussels to discuss brett says all sides say they're now ready to move to the next stage of talks however britain is expected to face certain conditions and it's to see a check in a small certainly the breck so it's a deadline is looming time is ticking at what we've seen so far is that these

negotiations have been anything but very simple especially may be according to both who expect to things to move forward much quicker we've seen until recently and european commission president john clarke basically park themselves on the box for breaking through with this first round of discussions when it comes to the issue of irish borders now they're looking forward to moving on to issues such as trade however we have seen the european council president donald tusk come out and say that they're going to be really some different harsh realities he's talked about specifically the transition period that the u.k. has put forward saying that britain wants this two year transition period i'm sad that this is going to come along with some pretty serious conditions he has said that not only will decisions be made without the u.k. in this time but he's also said that the u.k. is going to have to respect laws in that time including new laws including budgetary our commitments as. well as judiciary oversight let's take

a listen clearly was in the transition period following the do you case withdrawal . decision making group continue among. the twenty seven member state without the you can. own a world that. seems to be dilutive reasonable solution well low following these latest developments reaction including some negative have come from the likes of former you keep letter leader and pioneer nigel farage who has basically described the way things have been going a sort of an embarrassment so let's stay tuned to see how these negotiations will now continue to move forward. well meanwhile french president to man u. micro is now in algeria as part of his trip to africa while in the ontarian capital he was surrounded by locals who made clear some rather specific to moans he's not putting these guys. to the sound of. the bustling crowd is heard asking

for visas the president later said visa should not be a lifetime project across arrived in algiers on wednesday in a pitch to reboost thomas with the former french colony. to get more news after the short break. with manufacture consent to stick to the public well. when the ruling classes project themselves. with the final. nor middle of the room see. the new.

logo blog sell you on the idea that dropping bombs brings police to the chicken hawks forcing you to fight the battles they're going. to stop spreading tell you could be gossip to the public by fell. off the bad guys and tell me you are not cool enough to buy their product. all the hawks that we along with all on walking. welcome back there's confusion over whether the u.s. will be taking part in the upcoming winter olympics in south korea white house spokesperson sara sanders tweeted that the country is looking forward to the games although security remains a top priority but it's just hours before she had applied the team why not even be

going no official decision has been made on that and will keep us posted as those decisions are made all 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 i going to question as the korean peninsula posed a security threat artie's caliber weapon 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 the united states recommending that our team goes or is that still an open question or has 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 don't get a chance to read the article i knew 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 that they have been jammed all morning i see no reason why we shouldn't 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 terrible the u.s. olympic committee says there's 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 pekin power limp 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 successive large scale nuclear war exercises conducted by the u.s. 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 mop and r.t. new york. cryptocurrency bit coin has to find 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 jump in and invest here's a word of caution from. the. it's calling labels the hottest current 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 hush 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 of policy which 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 onus 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 bitcoin but despite the security issues that have plagued cryptocurrency is over the is the price of bitcoin. needs to skyrocket there even predictions that if this continues by this rate this time next year that could be worth more than the entire world's wealth one single bitcoin will equal is a 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 right if you're brave enough. now an unusual foreign visitor has been causing a stir in the swedish capital a russian ambulance that was helping someone in need in stockholm to public attention was many questioning the reason behind its mysterious appearance a stranger then there must be

a movie being filmed according to the number plate came from some petersburg could be something like a russian party bus a bunch of people who hired an ambulance and went to sweden to party is it putin's guys whose goal is to kidnap someone on the streets and take them to mother russia well this is how the situation unfolded in stockholm. urge. to slow tipiloura as the first very patient first wheaten doesn't fit or is fertile because. while we're passing the talk we don't just another patient in the street and a crowd signaling to listen to. the people to 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 planned all we could to give him first aid. we waited for a local ambulance to common and handed the patient over to our colleagues and into . the. well for more on these and plenty of other stories that go to our web site r.t. dot com otherwise i'll be back with the latest headlines at the top of the hour see that.

donald trump decision to move the u.s. embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem signals washington now deems this to be israel's capital reaction was easy to predict various degrees of dismay the law of unintended consequences surely in play. credit is one of the basic instruments to drive an economy but it can also lead to tragedy i did it i took a line to how just i can be god and meant that the debts tie game and it was not. many lives have been broken excessive to the banks got you into trouble and all the big bankers got big. and the government backed the banks but i just didn't think of the ordinary men who lost money through the back under don't buy creditors people see no future bad face and have you know you become ill you do to job the

relationship breaks down you become a casualty is debt a nice long trip or is there a way out those actually going to bed you know would write to ditch bill for so much for a few more. greetings

and salutations from the end of jesse ventura's battle against the american liar chris kyle to the end of al franken senate career this certainly is shaping up to be a week marked by ending watchers and just when you thought they couldn't squeeze one more ending in. before the end of the week or so boom goes the dynamite because we got because we get at the end of the islamic states rein in syria yes the russian defense the russian minister of defense announced this week that isis was just expelled from their final strongholds in the you're afraid to use valley and according to the russian armed forces chief of staff as of today there is no territory controlled by isis in syria. and there was much rejoicing or at least there there should have bad or there would have been if pentagon spokesperson erica home hadn't gone and broke this week's string of endings by

proclaiming that we are going to maintain our commitment on the ground as long as we need to to support our partners and prevent the return of terrorist groups yes despite the u.s. military's only kind of sore thumb may be hurt really really far from legitimate reason for being in syria. now having been taking off the gameboard the pentagon has decided to keep a u.s. military presence in syria anyway despite the fact that the united states military was never actually invited or even given the green light to operate within syria's borders by the syrian government which basically makes our presence there illegal by international law and to make matters even worse apparently apparently the number of u.s. soldiers operating in syria is actually four times the amount we've been told coming in at a cool two thousand troops. the end of the beginning of yet another

and the so let's begin watching the hawks. with. the bottom. like you that i got. with. well horrible to watch in the hard sciences i robot to run that and top it off. so war what is it good for. the. i mean more than anything is watching this whole thing play out where a bunch of military leaders are arguing about who did it right who didn't do this

who did who did what better and the truth is i feel like we're in this position where as americans we're supposed to have this we could have done it better we could have bombed and displaced people so much better than you do a very good bomb of your business and i'm like where's the more the what's the moral high ground you can't i don't agree with military action as much as i you know i don't have a magical answer to it but while i don't agree with military intervention and bombing people as what the russians did i also don't want my country or the you know i don't want the united what he's saying this argument over what's the best choice of a horrible situation it's also what with the russian military was invited to that syria that's the difference the syrian government said look please help us fight isis here and right you know to the extent the u.s. you know that when they were doing just air raids and things like that ok but then we started putting troops in there we started helping you know the rebels trying to overthrow him getting our hands dirty you know at the end of the big.
