1:02 pm
clashes between protesters and israeli police have been seen across palestine in jerusalem people have been gathering near the damascus gates where there's a massive israeli security presence and the shelling ski reports. photos 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 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 and we've been talking to israeli citizens and palestinian citizens this is what they had to say. they will not be back of the questions that consequence of. a ramifications that will lead for another intifada or another our revolution it's going to be interwoven i think
1:03 pm
so you know but this is this time is not going to be short one you know i hope things them outright but doesn't look right you know policies or look for any excuse they can't call for delivery and. they don't they're not going to stop us it's a significant move i think it's going to cause trouble why do some needs to be the capital of israel i don't know it's here is in palestine it should remain in palestine there is the sound of call horns in the end that's 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 demonstrate. with that 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
1:04 pm
a rocket strike which they blamed on hamas in gaza however that has since been claimed by another group and there is fear that this could lead to even bigger tensions you could one of the people i spoke to there saying this could be a third intifada and that is actually what the leader of the islamist group hamas in gaza has called for in the last few days describing this alliance between the u.s. and israel as being sick tannic and meanwhile on the other hand the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has described this is being a great decision and he has thanked john the trump for recognizing jerusalem as the capital of israel. the israeli army says it's intercepted two rockets launched from gaza air alone sirens have sounded in several israeli border towns this friday was declared a day of rage in palestine with a mass calling for a new father an armed rebellion against israel with the violence the u.s. is boosting security in the region and has issued
1:05 pm
a travel alert for americans. meanwhile washington's decision on the status of jerusalem prompted an emergency session of the u.n. security council member states were largely united in their attitude towards president trump's decision. we regard east jerusalem as part of the occupied palestinian territories. we therefore disagree with the u.s. decision to move its embassy to jerusalem and unilaterally to recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel before a final status agreement. we regret the decision announced by the president of the united states to recognize jerusalem as the capital of his room clearly disagree with the recognition of the roots of them asked a couple of israel for in the immediate the midst of the arab league the arab republic of egypt denounces the us decision to recognize jerusalem as the capsule of israel. in china is highly concerned about the recent developments regarding the status of jerusalem. washington's decision with serious concern.
1:06 pm
let's cross live now to new york to get the latest from r.t. correspondent caleb moore from caylee just how did the united states representative defend washington's position well we heard her begin to speak and as nikki haley was speaking to the fifteen member body she argued that the position taken by the united states would somehow enhanced the struggle for peace in the region now she emphasized in her remarks that the united states has not yet taken a position on boundaries or borders with in jerusalem this is what she said much united states will host the united states has not taken a position on boundaries or borders the specific dimensions of sovereignty over jerusalem are still to be decided by the israelis and the palestinians in a negotiation the united states has not advocated changing any of the arrangements
1:07 pm
at the temple mount hareem serif. the president specifically called for maintaining the status quo at the holy site finally and critically the united states is not predetermining final status issues we remain committed to achieving a lasting peace agreement so nikki haley continued to emphasize in her remarks that the usa is committed to a two state solution and as she spoke she reiterated the words of u.s. president donald trump who made the announcement earlier in washington d.c. this is u.s. president. therefore i have determined that it is time to officially recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel now at this point nikki haley and others
1:08 pm
nikki haley she stood alone at the u.n. and emphasized defense of the u.s.a.'s position supporting jerusalem recognizing jerusalem as the capital of israel and argued in her remarks that she believed peace and stability was indeed achievable however we've seen huge backlash in response to this announcement clashes have taken place there been calls for breaking of relations with the united states protests across the west bank many developments are taking place this decision is certainly causing a stir around the world. many thanks of course won't kill him open with the latest new york. now protests against trucks decision have been staged right across the world many people rallied in front of u.s. embassies in support of palestine and the street is burned american and israeli flags as well as posters of trump and benyamin netanyahu. and here are
1:09 pm
live pictures from a protest near the u.s. embassy in london an emergency protest called hands off jerusalem was told by various organizations including the stop the war coalition people there are holding signs that read free palestine as you can see pretty considerable numbers and they are quite the sypher us about how they feel about this situation. palestine says that it will now reject any u.s. led peace negotiations it also says u.s. vice president mike pence won't be welcomed when he comes to the region later this month we discuss the implications of troops decision with dan dyker is the project director for the jerusalem center for public affairs and also with now bill schaff a 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
1:10 pm
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 seem 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 what he has. created 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 intifada really means a popular uprising and
1:11 pm
a popular uprising continue and varieties of ways 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 a popular uprising that is nonviolent is the best way of expressing the feelings and the rejection of the palestinian people of the trump and israeli occupation well if the palestinians want to wipe themselves off the face of the battle it equally 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 to have. learn to do and stop calling for days of rage and for terror and violence. britain's prime minister treason most says
1:12 pm
that all sides of the briggs negotiations are now ready to move on to the next stage of talks but there are still many obstacles the u.k. is expected to face as artie's the situation explains certainly the breadth 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 or theresa may and european commission president john clarke huger 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 turns 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
1:13 pm
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. withdrawal you decision making group continue among. the. states to do. that. seems to be a deal the reasonable solution well low following these latest developments reaction including some negative have come from the likes of former you. letter leader and corrected pioneer nigel farage who has basically described the way things have been going as sort of an embarrassment so let's stay tuned to see how
1:14 pm
these negotiations will now continue to move forward. since the briggs's vote the european union has stepped up its efforts to bolster the block the latest push came from former president of the european parliament's german politician martin schulz has proposed the creation of a united states of europe i want to new constitutional treaty to establish the united states of europe the europe that is no threat to its member states but a beneficial addition the convention should draft this treaty in close cooperation with the civil society and the people its results will then be submitted to all member states any state that won't ratify this treaty automatically leave the e.u. a number of other measures to boost european unity have previously been proposed among them the creation of a european army european version of the international monetary fund and having an e.u. finance minister. and i'm joined on the line pleased to say now by the head of
1:15 pm
belgium belgium is people's party that's michael modicum and mark a very good evening to you united states of europe i mean it's a catchy name do you think she also being serious though. no i say it's a very bad idea and first of all let's look at. from where does it come from mr sure kind of lame duck today you know it was president of the e.u. parliament no chances to be re-elected so moved back to germany and he faced one of the bitterest lost in the election since world war two for the socialist in germany and knows that he is in big difficulties you know is being pushed to make it quite lieschen with mrs merkel that he didn't want to do it at this large part of his party do it want to do no it comes with this idea of united states of
1:16 pm
europe. let's look if you look at all the polls today from cities and from all over europe they don't want to more severe and fall for the e.u. they want to the contrary that the member states get back more seventy they want to take their first futures back in their hands particularly taking into account that the e.u. looks to be very undemocratic you know an elected official taking decision today in brussels that many citizens oppose and more to read the incapacity of the e.u. to tackle the major issues in europe and certainly one of the major issue for example is migration a lot of european want the borders be closed and we know today that they are approximately six million people waiting all wrong. to get into europe and europe
1:17 pm
and want to block that and you see that the e.u. . mr younker for example saying that we need more migration we need to open the borders we need more. african migrants for the future of europe this kind of ideas are totally rejected so i see that a lot of. european citizens will be concerned and worried by mr schorr plans or declaration did you think he's only saying that because he's in germany and the financial powerhouse of the block and that actually some of the smaller less wealthy countries would be very concerned i think that they should be indeed indeed very very concerned by the statement but it's for sure so for the internal situation in germany but. if you if you look at the future of the e.u. we need we need big reform we need more democracy instead of the state of
1:18 pm
europe we need first real democracy we need first real accountancy from the bureaucrats of the e.u. that should be the major issue and i want to tell you that i am the president as you see it of the party of belgium but i was also the vice president of a.d.d. one of the european european parties your skeptic parties and we faced mr shultz and i can tell you is that the democrat if this bitterly and he made maneuvers to defend our parties because we did not she is i.d.s. is not a democrat and we don't want that these kind of people with this kind of behavior this kind of ideas pushes forward towards integration because we can really fear a clear lack of democracy in the system. just as briefly michel do you think the
1:19 pm
post brags that you know losing a major member like the u.k. must have been a blow to the this in a tent now to kind of closed borders the pun but kind of close ranks and show that they still have great strength. first of all one can go to though talk about the future of the of course bricks it was a major blow but it's a self-inflicted blow it's because of the policy particularly migration and also completed within the e.u. . with you know people coming from eastern countries to work with very low wages in western europe that breaks it appen and so it's really self-inflicted wants and for sure although we could follow for different reasons for example the physical group you know that group one to be pressured to accept you know my parents these two could indeed leave tomorrow but no we can see that
1:20 pm
he wants even to push them out which show the kind of methods that mr schultz is prepared to use by the way it's exactly the same kind of methods and methods that he used against our parties either you agree all you are not part of the game and i think for democrats this would be a really worrying prospects many thanks for joining us appreciate your views mark modra command head of the belgium people's party thank you. so evil to cryptocurrency now because it has lost almost a fifth of its value eight hundred new high over nine hundred thousand dollars on thursday now the observers are fearing the market could be heading for a price collapse is a word of caution from artie's and he says setting. it's calling the labels the halt its currency no one is using his past milestone off to milestone but the
1:21 pm
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 in there to news of something was wrong when visitors were greeted with a maintenance notice quickly discovered that nice hash 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 in 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 owners and transactions had to be cosigned there even bold enough to state the era of commingle in custom of bitcoin or of the associated skirt exposures is well famous
1:22 pm
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 who 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 going but despite the security issues that have plagued cryptocurrency is over the is the price of bits quo. it continues to skyrocket there even predictions that if this continues by this rate this time next year it's
1:23 pm
going 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 at 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. and unusual for a visitor is being causing a stir in the swedish capital a russian ambulance that was hoping somebody needed stock of many people asking why was there. a stranger when 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 what is the real reason why russian ambulance was in stockholm.
1:24 pm
urge. was to slow paul or ask us for a patient first wheaten to st peter's part. while we were passing to talk home without just another patient in the street and a crowd signaling to us. 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 had all we could to give him first aid. we waited for a local ambulance to come and handed the patient over to our colleagues when.
1:25 pm
they you are blacklisted seventeen countries as offshore states in an effort to combat tax avoidance but according to the charity oxfam some countries were left off the list because of 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. a lot fun claims that for you namely island looks and burke the netherlands and monitor they should be they say on the blacklist of tax havens if the e.u. applied its own criteria to them oxfam also points out that some new members then only use so-called conduit offshore financial centers where they actually act as
1:26 pm
wants and they do this by being an intermediate destination for money that's transferred 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 and i will come to charlie who believes that a use made in effect will attempt to clean up its image following the twenty sixteen palomar 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 e.u. london is one of the biggest financial centers and it has the the this 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 vietti as well so again it's it's totally on. what i've noticed interesting is the palomar papers and the paradise papers and the leaks to do with that there's
1:27 pm
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 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 individual western countries all across the world including the. i need up to date thanks for staying with l.t. international see at the top of the hour. why i was president how did they did return to london why is it a liberal city why they made it is the killing the more important.
1:28 pm
than the plants the airports in the south and invincibility burst into the in many liberated spending why why do think you have to meet. 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
1:29 pm
one more ending in before the end of the week or so boom goes the dynamite because we go because we get at the end of the islamic states reign 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 he's 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 eric the 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 as sort who may be hurt really really far from legitimate
1:30 pm
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. rails at. the bottom.
