. russian. states wow. this is our international coming to you live from moscow i'm kate partridge thank you for joining us. more than two hundred palestinians have been injured after protests turned violent across the west bank and gaza that's according to the palestine red crescent society to 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. was.

no. but if it was harder to. hear more of what. it was. the protests are now underway across palestine and israeli police are using tear gas and water cannons against the demonstrators in jerusalem people are gathering near the damascus gates where several clashes with security forces have already been seen charlotte is that. those calls were hurled at the security services and at the journalists who were trying to get out of the way and then the police in turn were pushing those protesters away and running off to them some on the back of horses as well trying to steer them away from damascus gate but this is just an

indication a small indication of some of the scuffles that we're seeing across the israeli and palestinian territories today and over the last few days we've been talking to israeli citizens and palestinian citizens this is what they have to say. there will not be a bad consequence consequence of. ramifications will it for another intifada or another revolution it's going to be interwoven i think so you know but this is this time is not going to be short one you know i hope six them outright but i doesn't look right you know policies or look for any excuse they can call for delivery and. they don't they're not perfect but it's a significant move i think it's going to cause trouble why jerusalem the capital of israel i don't know. here is in palestine it should remain in palestine. there's

the sound of horns in the air and that sort of people showing support for the small number of demonstrators who are here they've been chanting things like this is our capital these are palestinian demonstrators who are unhappy with the announcement by donald trump but this is not just a small scale scuffle this is already become something a little bit wider with the i.d.f. actually launching two strikes on gaza in the last few days they say that that was in retaliation for a rocket strike which they blame on hamas in gaza however that has since been claimed by another group and there is fear that this could lead to even bigger tension as you heard one of the people i spoke to there saying this could be a good intifada and that is actually what the leader of the islamist group hamas in gaza ishmael honey it has called for in the last few days describing this alliance between the u.s. and israel as being a satanic meanwhile on the other hand the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has described this is being a great decision and has

a thanks to john the trump for recognizing jerusalem as the capital of israel. well meanwhile the u.s. is boosting security in the region and has issued a travel and for americans it comes after friday was declared a day of rage with ask or even for new into fattah and on trevelyan against israel other prime palestinian groups are also founding that trump will pay dearly for his decision i twenty four news correspondent mohammed out cassim has the latest from bethlehem. then bethlehem there is a large deployment of israeli forces on the ground and also demonstrations the palestinians have been demonstrating president downtimes decision to declare jerusalem kerik apatow of israel if they take into the streets and we have seen now hundreds of them just here in this one location in the northern part of the city of bethlehem in the west bank tear gas has been used rubber bullets fired by the israeli forces and returned with you know the palestinians are using moloko for

coffee or bombs as well as stone throwing it has been on and off throughout the day but it's extremely dangerous here. we've seen also aware of course of clashes on the borders between gaza and israel just to the south of us. senior palestinian official. said the palestinian president the house and officials will not be meeting with vice president mike pence when he arrives here later this month in the in the region he will be visiting israel and was supposedly scheduled to meet with president mahmoud abbas in the city of bethlehem where we are he said that he is not welcomed in palestine. well the international

response against america's unilateral recognition of jerusalem is gathering steam some world leaders have condemned trumps decision the u.n. security council will hold a special meeting on this issue today 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 proves that 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 palestine become an independent state. or discuss this further let's now cross live to neville shalit who's a foreign affairs adviser to the palestinian president bashar thank you very much

indeed for joining us well let's look at the situation now in the palestinian say they'll refuse to negotiate with the americans i mean do you think that this effectively scuppers the peace process. well what what the president has done literally destroyed at least his peace process the peace process that america should be rowland's it has not really been a success from from the very beginning maybe only in the first two three years after my deny divorce but since then the the image of the peace process that is managed by the united states has failed and now with mr james ray the side being completely with the israeli side destroying every piece of trust that he can be an honest broker is neither honest more a broker that makes it impossible to continue a peace process that is managed by the americans the only peace process that really can have any potential for success is an international peace process the peace

process that is jumping around by russia or china and europe and maybe in the united nations but with mr trump and his group if it is now impossible they're out of any potential for a peace process or with the u.n. set to discuss this later in the meantime then looking ahead to possible solutions do you think that a two state solution would still be a possibility. well i. mean the possibility is really seem blocked by what mr trump has done grewsome is a very very sensitive issue to the palestinians to the arabs to the muslims and to the christians of the world and what he has. created as a serious situation not only of mistrust but of instability and potential for

explosion in this part of the world. if there is an international. process we we need to see it we have our president has been talking to president putin and to president xi of china and to the mismo gary knee and the united and the rupee and union but there is no yet crystallised approach to a peace process after the the the stopping of the french process that brought together seventy four countries to attend the conference in paris and then with the end of the. period of the french president we're still awaiting the putting something together that is really brings the parties to a real peace process on leaving aside from that from the peace process i mean in the meantime the masses called for a new interface against israel i mean how do the palestinian officials react to that. well the word into father really means

a popular uprising and the popular uprising continued for a variety of ways the first intifada in nineteen eighty seven was really called the stone and the father because the only weapon used was stones that the children through the israeli tanks and armored cars and intifada is an expression of a people rejection of occupation and resistance to hedge your money and therefore in that sense what is going on today is an intifada what went on three months ago in jerusalem was an intifada but it was entirely peaceful and that's what our authority really aims at and popular uprising that is nonviolent is the best way of expressing the feelings and the rejection of the palestinian people

of the trump and this israeli occupation and also on the back of the of the decision as well by president of the us president vice president my parents i mean he's no longer going to be welcomed in palestine when when he visits israel later this month i mean is that a wise move. repeat that please the u.s. vice president i might pence i mean it's now said he will no longer be welcome in palestine when he visits is route later this month i mean is it a wise move anyway. you're talking about the visit of mr benz. as a possible way of continuing the peace process yes. very valid if that is really what you meant no mr prince is not welcome at this time and and that is thing that would come out of mr trump is not really welcome at this time unless it don't do the reverse is his position in jerusalem and i want that we

leave it maybe a shot for work for an advance advisor to the palestinian president thank you very much for your thoughts thank you. for britain's prime minister to resign may says all sides of the brakes in negotiations are now ready to move on to the next stage of the talks however there are still many obstacles the u.k. is expected to face as artie's anasazi check and explains. certainly the bronx 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 those who expect of things to move forward much quicker we've seen to recently and european commission president john claude huger basically pot 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 and 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 commitments as well as judiciary oversight let's take a listen clearly was in the transition period following the do you draw. decision making group continue among. the. states to do. what. seems to be dilutive reasonable solution well low following these latest developments reaction including some

negative conference 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 we discussed this issue is janice that concern an independent member of the european parliament and she believes the deal that's been reached is not a breakthrough at all. it isn't a break for whatsoever we've basically given up control of borders because there's still be free movement of people we've got no end date for the transition period it may end in twenty twenty one it may and beyond that we've still got the european court of rights having jurisdiction over our laws for eight more years and no parliament can overturn that so we haven't actually achieved anything we can have a transition do partly we're leaving in name only on the twenty ninth of march and twenty nine say mrs may hasn't given us an end date for the transition deal so we

could be shackled to them forever over in this transitional period we can't actually negotiate a trade deal with the us so that's a big sticking point and it's not just the the us there's forty other countries lining up to do trade deals with us is humiliating climbdown the tory party have close ranks on this and even the people who said take back control that was their slogan so just down the river it's policy for them people and country second or news after this short break. leave the announced show seems wrong. why don't we all just don't all you

get the world to get a sheep out just do you can you continue and in detroit you ignore the trail. going so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. i.

welcome back there's confusion about whether the usa will take part in the upcoming winter olympics in south korea white house spokesperson sarah saunders has tweeted that the country is looking forward to the games in pyongyang although security remains a top priority but just hours before she had implied the team line was even be going no official decision has been made on that and will keep us posted as those decisions are made will stand as was quizzed after the u.s. ambassador to the u.n. claimed america's participation not the games was an open question as the korean peninsula poses a serious security threat artie's caliber weapon went onto the streets of new york to find out what americans think. 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 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 chand 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 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 limpy can 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 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. 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 artsy new york. now the who has blacklisted seventeen countries as offshore states in an effort to combat tax avoidance however according to the charity oxfam some countries were left off the list thanks to political pressure 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 well oxfam claims for e.u. members ireland luxemburg the netherlands and motor should be on the blacklist of tax havens if the applied its own criteria to them while oxfam also points out that some e.u. members not only use so-called conduit offshore financial centers but act as ones they do this by being an intermediate destination for money transfer to tax havens

they also provide favorable tax policies to ensure a quiet funds flow this enables the mediators to protect the reputations of their client countries where financial commentator charlie boyle believes the e use made ineffectual attempts to clean up its image after the twenty sixteen panama paper scandal. it was an attempt to be seen to be doing something internationally about the offshore havens the problem is inside it's inside the london as one of the biggest financial centers and it has the the this transfer pricing policy which which makes it you know virtually zero percent for the big corporations in terms of corporation tax and it's also. saving in big saving v.a.g. as well so again it's totally on. what i find most interesting is the panama papers and the paradise papers and the leaks to deal 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 the existing. business practices in those countries as well but it doesn't address the wider problem of the tax policies of in the individual western countries all across the world including the e.u. . cryptocurrency bitcoin has extended its record breaking run reached new highs of nineteen thousand dollars for the first time on thursday when many observers warn the market could be a bubble waiting to burst posing a risk to the mainstream economy. he explains. 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 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 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 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 had to become assigned there even bold enough to state the era of commingle and custom of bitcoin or of the associated skirt exposures is 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 calling 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 that could be worth more than the entire world's wealth one single bitcoin while the call 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
