wow it's terrible. i'm kate partridge and you're watching the latest headlines here at r.t. international thank you for joining us. one palestinian has been killed and more than two hundred injured in large scale protests according to promise times health ministry tear gas rubber bullets and even live ammunition were used by israeli police as they clashed with demonstrators tensions have escalated following u.s. president donald trump's decision to recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel.

and protests are underway across palestine israeli police are using tear gas and water cannon against the demonstrators in jerusalem people are gathering near the damascus gates where several clashes with security forces have already been seen shiela dubin school reports. bottles were hurled at the security services and 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 who says 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 had to say. there will not be a back of the questions consequence of. a ramification of that will it for another

intifada or another revolution it's going to be in the hall but i think you know what is is this time is not going to be short one you know i hope thinks them outright but doesn't look right you know policies or look for any excuse they can't call for a day of. they don't they're not going to help us is to this is significant move i think it's going to cause trouble. to be the capital of israel i don't know. here is in palestine. there is the sound of horns in the end 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 six haneke meanwhile on the other hand the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has described this is being a great decision and has time to join the trump for recognizing jerusalem as the capital of israel. meanwhile the u.s. is boosting security in the region and has issued a travel alert for americans it comes out of friday was declared a day of rage with hamas calling for a new into father and armed rebellion against israel other pro palestinian groups are also vowing that trump will pay dearly for his decision i twenty four news

correspondent mohammed al qassim has the latest from bethlehem. but in bethlehem there is a large deployment of israeli horses on the ground and also demonstrations the palestinians have been demonstrating president downtimes decision to declare jerusalem care capital 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 over bullets fired by the israeli forces in return with you know the palestinians are using molotov cocktail 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 where the course of clashes on the borders between gaza and israel

just to the south of us. a senior palestinian official. said that the palestinian president the palestinian officials will not be meeting with vice president mike pence when he arrives here later this month 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 will come in palestine. protests against trans decision have been staged across the world many people around it in front of u.s. embassies in support of crosstime demonstrators burned american and israeli flags as well as posters of trump and binyamin netanyahu.

well the international response against america's unilateral recognition of jerusalem is gathering stage a number of world leaders have condemned china's decision and while the u.n. security council is holding a special meeting on the issue right now one of the initiations of the meeting misspell livea and we spoke to the country's envoy. the u.s. decision to acknowledge jerusalem as the capital of israel is a threat to international order and safety a 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 at the international community will exercise its influence to help palestine become an independent state. of palestine says it will now reject any u.s. led peace negotiations they also say u.s. finance president mike pence won't be welcomed when he comes to the region later this month when we discuss the implications of chance to sit down dyke project

director for the two recent center for public affairs and the bill shaath foreign affairs advisor to the palestinian president now for the peace process it actually paves the way to peace because israel will be called upon by the same trumpet ministration to make concessions to its palestinian neighbor which it will be much more ready to do now that a basic wrong has been corrected which is to to rightfully acknowledge that they drew sloan is the capital the possibility is really blocked by what mr trump has done gruesome 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 the palestinian authority looks and the hamas

is of course they look for any excuse to call for a day of rage so you know that the hamas is in business to kill israelis and to kill political opponents like the fatah and the p.a. uses the day of rage as an excuse in order to avoid making any headway on the. peace process and word into father really means a popular uprising in the bubbler uprising continue for a variety of ways what is going on today is and then divide the what went on three months ago in jerusalem open and devolve about it was entirely peaceful and that's what our authority really a popular uprising that is nonviolent is the best way of expressing the feelings and the rejection of the palestinian people of the. well if the palestinians want to wipe themselves off the face of the bat politically they should continue in this in this line of political violence as well as threats

of physical violence i would suggest that they go back to the table where they have israelis with open arms and open hands willing to negotiate with them but this is something they're going to have to learn to do and stop calling for days of rage and for terror and violence. britain's prime minister theresa may says all sides of the bricks at negotiations are now ready to move on to the next stage of talks however there are still many obstacles the u.k. is expected to face and assess it explains certainly the breck said deadline is looming time is ticking at what we've seen so far is that these breaths of negotiations have been anything but very simple especially may be according to those who expected things to move forward much quicker we've seen on theresa may and european commission president john claude humor basically part 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 to you. a year transition period until 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 u.k.'s withdrawal. decision making group continue among. the twenty seven limbo states do you. 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 earlier we discussed this issue with janice that concern an independent member of the european parliament for southeast england she believes the latest deal has achieved nothing. it isn't a breakthrough 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 in twenty nine states but 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 has 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 they've told so just down the river it's policy for them people and country second . will be americans compete in the young coming winter olympics in south korea we find out why there's some doubt after the break. we're going to.

leave the announced show seems wrong. but i'll be wrong just don't all you get the world to get a sheep out just do you can't you can't you can't and in detroit you ignore the trail. you can suddenly find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. here's what people have been saying about rejected in the vicinity of the lawn are some of the only show i go out of my way to find you know what it is that really packs a punch oh yeah it is the john oliver of our dear mary it's good to see we are apparently better than to see people you've never heard of love jack to the next president of the world bank very. seriously send us an e-mail.

welcome back there is confusion about whether the usa will take part in the upcoming winter olympics in south korea white house spokesperson sarah huckabee sanders has tweeted that the country is looking forward to the games in pyongyang those security remains a top priority but it's just hours before she had implied the team wonders even be going no official decision has been made on that and will keep us posted as those decisions are made was not as was quizzed after the u.s. ambassador to the u.n. claimed america's participation at the games was an open question as the korean peninsula poses a serious security threat. wolf and went on to 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 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 the united states and why it's unclear i 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 for major the day i've been jammed 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 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 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 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 the war games rehearsing for an all out war with the north cable artsy new york. the e.u. 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 luxembourg the netherlands and malta should be all of the blacklist of tax havens if the e.u.

apply its own criteria to the well i'll also point out that sammy you members not only use so-called conduit offshore financial centers but also act as ones well 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 well this enables the mediators to protect the reputations of their client countries financial commentator charlie boyle believes the e.u. has made any factual attempts to clean up its image after the twenty six thousand pound more 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 this transfer pricing policy which which makes it. virtually zero percent for the big corporations in terms of corporation tax and is also. saving in big so one of your

tears well so again it's it's totally on. what i've most interesting is the palomar papers and the power of those papers and the leaks to do with that there's a lot of for but there are amazed at how quickly it's died down it doesn't matter who's on the list or who is 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 individual western countries or all across the world including the. crypto currency bitcoin has lost almost a fifth of its value and it had reached a new high of nineteen thousand dollars on thursday but now observers fear the market is heading for a price collapse is a word of caution. it's calling labels the halt its 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 wallet 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 owners 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 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 bitcoin 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 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 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 left many asking why was there a string given 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 here's the real reason why a russian ambulance was in stockholm. her

. latest medical or asteroids for a patient first we've been to st peter's particles. while we're passing as you talk we don't just another patient in the street a bit and a crowd signaling to was. visible to us things like 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 going to all we could to give him first aid. to anybody if we waited for a local ambulance to come and handed the patient over to our colleague just seems.

to. oh for more on these and plenty of other stories that go to our website. at the top of the hour my colleague neil harvey will be here with the latest headlines. why i was a dentist how did return to london why it's a little bit city why is it. the more important.

now i know and the planets that aborts in the south and convince him in two percent of the pm any liberated why why do think you've yet to make this. kind of financial survival john today was all about money laundering first to visit this commission to see different. oh good this is a good start well we have our three banks all set up here maybe something in your something in america something overseas in the cayman islands or do we do all these banks are complicit in their tough talk received a softer didn't phone and say hey i'm ready to do some serious money laundering ok let's see how we did while we've got home got a nice luxury watch for max and for stacy oh beautiful jewelry how about. home luxury automobile again for max you know what money with me is highly illegal thank you so much guys of course.

i. this is the boom bust broadcast around the world from washington d.c. i'm feeling you and i be on the scene coming up will eurozone reform be able to take our complicated breath to talk and ongoing negotiations in germany one expert will give us her take plus it looks like there is a showdown over a potential government shutdown present donald trump is squaring off with democrats and perhaps a few republicans over to the government open past midnight on friday can some of the contentious policy issues be resolved west dr marc ford but first let's check the top stories in business in point. not all is well in the world of

cryptocurrency these days but point is how boring around sixteen thousand dollars now one crypto marketplace lost millions of dollars from its point of wallet in a massive hack the breach at an ice hash occurred early wednesday shortly after the company wrote in a statement clearly this is a matter of deep concern and we are working hard to rectify the matter in the coming days in addition to undertaking our own investigation the incident has been reported to the relevant authorities and law enforcement and we are cooperating with them as a matter of urgency the exact amount that was stolen remains unclear but customers suspect it somewhere around sixty four million dollars this comes just a month after a similar scenario happened on parity which is another popular digital wallet. and over a dozen countries worldwide have act been added to a blacklist for refusing to cooperate in an e.u. tax haven crackdown finance ministers and the e.u. put seventeen countries on its list stretching from barbados to the united arab

emirates tax commissioner appear moscovici said the list represented quote substantial progress and added its very existence is an important step forward but because it is the first e.u. list it remains an insufficient response to the scale of tax evasion worldwide according to france's finance minister bruno lemaire the nations on the list could lose access to certain e.u. funds in the coming weeks further measures could be added to and this won't just be a problem for the countries currently on the list officials said another forty seven were put on a great list for not complying with you standards but committing to change their tax rules. the u.s. government is only funded through midnight friday and president trump and congress need to act to keep it open in the past president trump has said perhaps we need a good government shutdown and one thing is certain there is

a unity showdown over this shutdown here to discuss this dr board of the missus's to to dr thorton before we get into it i want you to take a listen to what the president said on this subject and thank you for being here but hold on check this first the democrats. are really looking at something that is very dangerous for a country they are looking at shutting down they want to have. illegal immigrants in many cases people that we don't want to a country that want to have illegal immigrants whoring into our country bringing with them crime tremendous amounts of crime we don't want to have that. the meeting with congressional leaders actually going on right now way to start a meeting mr president will talk about that mark what do you think is going to happen here i mean the meetings going on right right now we saw in the past where on tax reform the president sent out a tweet.
