whenever you buy russian product. you're not just getting excellent quality. for the little bit of. work. i cut. more than a thousand palestinians are injured as violence escalates in jerusalem the west bank and gaza tensions spike to trump the decision on jerusalem that was roundly criticized at the u.n. security council we regard east jerusalem as part of the occupied palestinian territory. we therefore disagree with the u.s. decision we regret the decision announced by the president of the united states the

arab republic of egypt denounces the u.s. decision. sweden's chief prosecutor warns of stockholm district populated almost entirely by migrants it's becoming a quote war zone. also pakistan's air force a stark warning saying it will shoot down drones trespassing its airspace including american one. by one minute past may day here in moscow thanks for joining us on this saturday r.t. international at least twenty five palestinians including six children have been injured after israeli jets bombed alleged hamas targets inside gaza.

you know now that. israel's defense ministry says the airstrikes were in retaliation for three rocket attacks launched from the area into israeli territory tensions in the region have risen sharply since donald trump says the u.s. is now officially recognizing jerusalem as israel's capital. three days of rage has been declared by palestinians over the decision two people were killed and hundreds injured in heavy clashes with israeli police according to palestine's health ministry several reports suggest the number of those wounded may be more than seven hundred. reporting from jerusalem. 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 the snake. throwing

rocks bottles of clocks at not just our selves but the police as well under security services in fact that we 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 since that shock announcement that bombshell announcement by don't trump that he was recognizing the u.s. is 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. israel security services clashing with locals there were reports of tear gas of rubber bullets and even live ammunition being fired on. if i was

you i did not. know meanwhile on the other hand the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has described this is being a great decision and has. that announcement by no don't trump on wednesday. as you can see that we just had another. bottle thrown at isc so i think it's getting relatively and here in jerusalem protests against trump's decision have been seen around the globe but u.s. embassies a particular focus american and israeli flags have been set on fire along with pictures of donald trump binyamin netanyahu angry outcry has even been seen on trump's farm soil. was god given this gift was there you know the truth. was. yeah.

yeah meanwhile an emergency session of the u.n. security council has been held over washington's decision and during the meeting of the fifteen members it was fourteen united against just one united states. for nearly seventy years the city of jerusalem has been the capital of the state of israel despite many attempts by others to deny that reality. we regret the u.s. president's decision has met washington's decision with serious concern these decisions are helpful to the prospects for peace in the region our actions reflected and honest assessment of reality it is fueling tensions and increasing instability in an already volatile and turbulent region far actions are intended to help advance the cause of peace at stake is the respect of international law and

the legitimate rights of each side at stake is the legitimacy of the security council israel like all nations has the right to determine its capital city unilaterally actions its aim to change the status of jerusalem response putting the long existing foundation for thirty two months of the israeli palestinian issue the united states took this step in full knowledge that it will raise questions and concerns with a look this is a dangerous precedent this meeting reflects fear over repercussions of the unilateral decisions that run counter to and threaten the systems of political relations as a united states will not be lectured to by countries that lack any credibility when it comes to treating both israelis and palestinians fairly however u.s. envoy to the un nikki haley right there she actually attacked the un itself accusing the global body of being biased against israel. over many years the united

nations has outrageously been of the world's foremost earners of hostility towards israel the un has done much more damage to the prospects for middle east peace than to advance them we will not be a party to that the united states no longer stands by when israel is unfairly attacked in the united nations we spoke exclusively to the secretary general of the palestine liberation organization executive committee erica he believes netanyahu and trump have destroyed the principle of the two state solution without revealing their plans to the palestinians beforehand. from took the central issue jerusalem and decided its fate unilaterally and now in a matter of days or weeks the trumpet ministration will declare its agreement to the incorporation of settlements by israel might happen in another week's time this is my personal analysis based on my knowledge and evaluation of the behavior of

this administration before of weeks straight i was in contact with me more shinton they didn't raise a single question with us nor informed us about their plan they didn't tell us anything we deal with netanyahu government and the trumpet ministration which together have destroyed the principle of a two state solution if the us scuttled or if it's in the security council we would have to appeal to the general assembly and all through perhaps will appeal to the international court of justice and the u.s. supreme court. today marks thirty years since the start of the first intifada the armed palestinian uprising against israeli occupation the peace process over those next three decades made very little progress with palestinians now calling for a new intifada it seems the conflict is back to ground zero artie's near a tutor explains. the events of the last few days in israel have brought us back to a time when you couldn't turn on the news without hearing about the intifada an

armed resistance against israeli occupation. another outbreak of violence in the israeli occupied west bank and the gaza strip. the first intifada was triggered by a collision between an i.d.f. truck and a palestinian car for palestinian civilians were killed and all hell broke loose. even before then political leaders had puzzled over ways to resolve the region's problems by nine hundred ninety three they managed to broker a set of agreements between israel and palestine new inching the so-called oslo process a supposedly road map to peace. the following year israeli leaders it's hacked rabin and shimon peres as well as palestinian president yasser arafat were awarded the nobel peace prize in two thousand bill clinton brought together the two sides and once again at

a summit at camp david it was after that. was. no agreement came out of that. the faltering peace process was derailed when former israeli prime minister ariel sharon visited temple mount in jerusalem that enraged the palestinians who consider this site to be islam's third holiest place that's when the second intifada began. it lasted five years. was pushed down and little bit by some other events in the area. especially after the completion of iraq and afghanistan and then all the other things and by the beginning of the second part of the arab

revolutions in six countries in two thousand and one came nine eleven the worst terror attack in u.s. history. that completely refocus global media attention away from the israel palestine conflict to return and intermittently when the violence flared up. fast forward to twenty seventeen. therefore i have to chairman that it is time to officially recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel israel and palestine i suddenly back on the agenda the world is in shock the u.s. is falling out with its allies this is you. this is a regrettable decision which france does not approve of and which contradicts international law the announcement asked the potential to send spec courts to even

darker shines the ones we living in the streets of jerusalem and across the west bank are on fire hammer says one trumps decision has opened the gates of house locals and u.s. missions across the region a bracing themselves for violence all of this need not have happened there was no real need for drama to come up with this declaration which perhaps him self does not even understand the meaning of during biblical times we had two different kingdoms and israel was in judah which is no longer with us apparently he did it out of some political and egotistical motives which israel and the palestinians are going to pay the price. the ninth of december two thousand and seventeen marks thirty years since the start of the first intifada are

we now back to square one in india or tudor r.t. . sweden's chief prosecutor has warned a district in the capital with a large immigrant population is becoming a quote war zone. brinkley is almost like a war zone when do police work there they operate as if they were de army migrants make up the vast majority of the stock. could be with almost ninety percent of first or second generation immigrants that the district has now been placed in sweden's most severe category of urban areas with high crime rates that size riots and burned cars are becoming increasingly common in the areas but it's far from the only place developing a frightening reputation the city of upsala some seventy kilometers from stockholm has been plagued by months of shocking violence criminals have even been using hand grenades to talk at police stations and fire fighters now require military style

lauren forstmann support and sweden's third largest city malmo has also witnessed a huge rise in crime this year already fifty nine shootings have left seven people dead and dozens injured almost eighty percent of the local population say they live in fear all over a third say they're afraid to even be alone on the streets at night meanwhile the police have been deployed to protect nighttime joggers we discuss the alarming situation with political scientist and commentator stick beyond you know offices now have to respond like a quote army formation. there are places that are. part of the dangerous and where we're to police. is moving into the area so it's like that form that they were a. combat situation or as information about an army. there

was. a great lot of it from. the middle east as we perfect society or a lot of people and now they are running over the edge downhill. so he said he had a very low profile for a long time so these groups have been banished to the build the networks are needed to keep the crime going. hysteria over trump russia collusion is ramping up again reports in the us media citing on anonymous source say russia's equivalent to facebook got in touch with trump it's claimed they offered to promote his candidacy among russian speaking americans during the election. investigations. no news is good news but russian news is always breaking is no matter how shaky the connection.

that explosive information comes from anonymous sources familiar with an e-mail sent by the british publicist rob goldstone he's the guy who arranged the infamous trump jr meeting with the russian lawyer back in june of two thousand and sixteen c.n.n. issued an exclusive report saying those emails are the first indication there was any follow up after that meeting and that follow up centers around what goldstone allegedly referred to as a cute marketing idea scandalous here's what happened the director of partnership marketing v.k. russia's equivalent to facebook hit up team trump to set up a page on their website to appeal to russian americans before the election finally the smoking gun right and the network confirmed they made an offer to trump just like they did to a bunch of other popular people we welcomed international celebrities joining our social network we invited donald trump to create a v.k. account like many other celebrities but the media all but push those facts of the

side choosing instead to focus on the young exact himself one outlet said they became manager represented a new point of direct contact between an influential russian and advisors to trump not really sure if influential is the way to classify this guy however. the media are also pointing out that the v. k. executive has taken photos of trump and at a separate event snapped one with president putin well apparently that didn't impress the trump team they didn't reply to the network's request. we never received a reply from donald trump's representatives it is absolutely ludicrous and it is part of the nature of how our media has covered this entire story for this entire year and planned to continue to do for months and months and months as long as it keeps their ratings elevated because it's russia that's why this is so exciting to

the media and a way for them to store up a story that is absolutely basis and yet another one of hundreds of hundreds of stories that have been and will continue to be nothing but sensationalism and russia phobia we're back in just. so there's no the all important as a person but he is important as far as is leaving. risk in the regime falling apart so indeed the americans are americans are much less to have him leave the old oil from time to time they keep saying at the so in the end i think most countries are accepting that they will stay.

no russian flag will fly at the twenty year winter olympics but there will be russian athletes. new russian national anthem will play you know during official ceremonies but founds will probably acappella rendition you can take the athletes out of the country but can you take the country out of the athletes. thanks for joining us twenty two thousand americans are dying every year overdosing on prescription painkillers and now the country's national safety council has launched a campaign over what it's calling the worst drug crisis in american history.

every one of those little girls represents the person that we lost. and i want to tell you about my son kyle addicted at the age of eighteen someone who prescribed medication. none of us consequences and i asked my son aged twenty where he stood in that case. because a doctor. that the doctor knew what he was doing and never actually thought about my diction till now it's really great to see things more clear this can happen to anyone this can happen to you. don't matter.

in sixty four out of one hundred cases misuse began with people using opioids that were not prescribed with them that's linked to the fact that almost two thirds of americans don't know that sharing opioid medicine is illegal a national safety council program manager test ban and believes the problem is now out of control. it was recently declared a public health emergency and many organizations like the national safety council are taking action to find solutions and save lives it's a multi-faceted problem which is why the national safety council developed our stop every day killers campaign opioid pain medications were involved in about a third of drug overdose deaths last year and overprescribing is definitely a factor and so we're taking measures like implementing describing guidelines educating our doctors and nurses but most importantly starting a campaign like this to educate the public about their breasts we have less than five percent of the world's population but we consume more than eighty percent of

the world's supply of opioids and so it's a huge problem here in the united states everybody has a role to play including our government to begin to implement solutions that are going to save lives and help us and this crisis. air force has warned it will shoot down any drones including american ones if they violate the country's airspace comes just two weeks off the u.s. reportedly conducted its latest strike on the country's border with afghanistan we will not allow anyone to violate our airspace i have ordered the pakistan air force to shoot down drones including those of the u.s. if they enter our airspace violating the country's sovereignty and territorial integrity. pakistani officials u.s. drone attacks doing significant since two thousand and four almost a thousand civilians are believed to have been killed by the strikes including a number of children we spoke to talat masood a retired three star general in the pakistani army he notes islam about its

attitude to washington is changing. in the near past the united states has been playing good cop bad cop gave a bit like a start one often says something positive the other gives strong threats in the past the drones have been attacking targets in pakistan a little it false but haps the approval of the government of pakistan but in the past couple of years the government of pakistan has not provided any such approval of the united states should actually and very its options because it has been using pakistan as an ally and if against pakistan it will be detrimental to the peace in the region. meanwhile pakistan's air force chief is also questioning whether the decades long military engagement by the u.s. in the region is even helpful so while a non also islam washington's track record on promoting democracy abroad no outside

power can engineer a democracy inside a country nor is democracy the solution to every problem examples in iraq and libya are in front of us after the fall of gadhafi and saddam what happened in this country did they get democracy it is syria currently and of course yemen afghanistan iraq all of these countries they have lost the stability and they are in serious problems in fact at the moment there are some scribes in the new york press in the washington press who are predicting that if pakistan doesn't go the line of the united states of america if syria like situation may be created over here because pakistan cannot allow its territory to be used by others to engineer in the name of democracy and me farcical moves which will destabilize the country. and with the world's focus on the middle east right now the president of

lebanon has given an exclusive interview to us touching on a political turmoil difficult neighbors and peace efforts next week on the alex simon show. how concerned are you as president of lebanon about the possibility of further is really incursions into your country. good bad. i think that's after the july two thousand and six war israel will no longer attack lebanon because it will not be able to penetrate the lebanese fronts and then here last week in italy you said definitively the lead in your opinion as president of lebanon the immediate crisis was over how confident are you of that position. good. confidence because there is no disagreements among the lebanese about settling this crisis and i don't think that those who created this crisis

will repeat it again and. bringing a lawsuit to a court is not always easy especially when our normals are involved that's what a danish landover found out to his detriment when he lost a property damage claim over a number of beavers. we were just doing our job. and we are back in half an hour.

thank. you. i'm actually retired g.m. we're going underground as the arab league sits to discuss washington's unilateral

decision in violation of un resolutions to recognize jerusalem as the capital of a jewish state coming up in the show next u.k. secretary of state with all the knowledge and former european minister lord hayne gives us his take on tourism a so-called coalition of chaos and why this week's few people back to break the deadlock could have deadly consequences and is the international criminal court in the hague announces that claims of war crimes by british soldiers have a reasonable basis in law journalists with us a belief for the first time on t.v. reveals how hundreds of millions of pounds of u.k. taxpayers' money may be supporting al qaeda plus what happened after britain's bricks of negotiating david davis said this about preparing for britain's departure from the e.u. and found an economic model because they are pleased with the review jeremy called in challenging the u.k. prime minister to be and he told us of all coming up in today's going underground but first to our top story theresa may wasn't even consulted by washington over its

statements and of course u.s. flags to burn around the world but is it just that her u.k. minority government is actually about to fall in a quagmire of bricks at negotiation fadia irish border trouble and economic degradation it has been clear this week that may is compromised by a billion pound political alliance with a formerly paramilitary linked democratic unionist party well we went outside the palace of westminster to speak to the old haim former leader of the house of commons and former secretary of state for northern ireland to investigate. thanks for coming out on this called in chile they have noise as well anyway is it not possible for the british government to condemn the decision by washington in violation of u.n. security council resolutions to move the u.s. embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem of course it's possible and that is exactly what we should have done i speak as a former middle east minister for britain myself and i think that's catastrophic and is

a holy city for both judaism and the muslim faith and the temple mount and there are a mosque or in the same venue in the same situation one on top of the other they're both. absolutely essential to both religions and to both peoples jews and palestinians claiming access to and in a sense ownership of that site so i think that this unilateral decision shows again president trump is taking a one sided attitude to this conflict between the palestinians and the israeli surprised that the prime minister said she wasn't informed of the decision beforehand when you were a foreign minister you would you have expected a call from washington to inform you before i'm not surprised the president didn't inform and theresa may know because he just tweets his announcements or goes off the cuff but certainly we would have been consulted.
