12:03 pm
offices on horseback they are used to the way some of these forensic. people. here. we've just come to the story to the streets because some of the protesters are actually throwing rocks and bottles down in our direction towards these way the security forces which are behind this. as you can see the security forces are just coming past this now these are. israeli security forces who are going to different ports the streets to try and break up with the protesters you see some of them still running down behind me. almost from the angry and they the north stripe showing their shoulder to see the street. protests also gripped the west bank and gaza palestinian
12:04 pm
authorities say that two people were killed in the unrest and more than one thousand injured journalists cooder a reports from gaza. well anger is to mood of the palestinian streets especially after the air strikes launched on the gaza strip. out how much belonging sites and facilities to members of hamas were killed the tensions are increasing we were just now on the buffer zone and there were a lot of confrontations between the palestinians and the israelis hundreds of youths are now on the buffer zone at the ambulances are waiting on the freezone everyone scared for a new injuries. well protests in support of palestine are being held across the world crowds gathered in paris and rome and across the ocean and most planned in new york meanwhile an emergency session of the un security council was convened
12:05 pm
over washington's decision on jerusalem and during the meeting of the fifteen members fourteen we united against just one the u.s. . 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 us president's decision it meant 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 of our 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 this security council israel like all nations has the right to determine its capital city unilateral actions attempting to change the status of jerusalem
12:06 pm
response putting the long existing foundation for thirty two months of the israeli palestinian issue the united states took the step in full knowledge that it will raise questions and concerns where they would be this is a dangerous precedent this meeting reflects fear over repercussions of the unilateral decisions that run counter to and threaten the system of political relations the united states will not be lectured to by countries that lack any credibility when it comes to treating both israelis and palestinians fairly however the u.s. envoy to the united nations you saw there nikki haley's she attacked the u.n. itself accusing the global body of being biased against israel. over many years the united nations has outrageously been of the world's foremost centers of hostility towards israel the un has done much more damage to the prospects for middle east
12:07 pm
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 organizations executive committee that's erekat he believes that binyamin netanyahu and donald trump have destroyed the principle of the two state solution without revealing their plans to the palestinians before hand. so how do you want anyone to trump 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 for five weeks straight i was in contact with the main washington they didn't raise a single question with us nor informed us about their plan they didn't tell us
12:08 pm
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 our efforts in the security council we would have to appeal to the general assembly and also perhaps will appeal to the international court of justice and the u.s. supreme court. and today actually marks thirty years since the start of the first intifada the armed palestinian uprising against israeli occupation now the peace process over the intervening three decades has made little progress and with palestinians now calling for a new to father it seems that the conflict is back to square one artie's know there are two to reports. 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
12:09 pm
by a collision between an i.d.f. truck and a palestinian car before 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 no inching the so-called oslo process i suppose it road map to peace. nice. 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 once again at a summit at camp david. after.
12:10 pm
it 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. the. question was pushed down and little bit by some other events in the area. specially after the invasion of iraq and afghanistan and then all the other things and then 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
12:11 pm
u.s. history i 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 determined that it is time to officially recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel. israel and palestine are 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 has the potential to send. even darker shines the ones we living in the streets of jerusalem and across the west bank are on fire
12:12 pm
hamas has won the trumps decision has opened the gates of how 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 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 good 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 for 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. r.t. . the quest to prove donald trump colluded with
12:13 pm
russia shows no sign of letting up c.n.n. recently had a story that donald trump jr had been sent a direct link to wiki leaks documents on the democratic national committee before they were made public it was september fourth two thousand and sixteen at the height of the campaign that's when candidate donald trump his son donald trump jr and even trump jr's personal assistant they got an e-mail with a decryption key and a web site address for hacked wiki leaks documents. well the documents were made public on september thirteenth fire wiki leaks twitter feed c.n.n. claimed that the e-mail was sent on september fourth but that later turned out to be false the e-mail was actually sent to trump jr on september fourteenth the day after the data went public he later tweeted a response to the full c.n.n. story i know that you can't help but spread freaky news c.n.n. but now that you know the truth you should have the decency to retract the full story make the correction take down the b.s.
12:14 pm
tweet and apologize to the two or three people that still believe you to be credible you all welcome the u.s. president also slammed the story accusing those behind it of gross incompetence while wiki leaks founder julian assange has called for someone to be fired the network later ran a correction giving quote the proper context for the timing of the e-mail independent journalist martin summers believes that c.n.n. ran the story without fact checking simply to cause a scandal but don't forget the kind of relationship between mainstream media like c.n.n. and what you might call operatives of the state where they brief people to give them stories and then they just repeat what they're told by these essentially anonymous state sources and they don't bother to check because they can't check and to some extent they like that situation because they've got inside information and they feel privileged but of course they can be manipulated and they can just get it wrong as they seem to have done in this case i think the real issue for journalists
12:15 pm
is you've got to stick to the facts opinion is free but facts are sacred and in this case of course they got the date of the wiki leaks concept wrong which completely changed the context of the story it wasn't that wiki leaks had been contacted before the election and trying to been a straight people had been given inside knowledge that they just got the same information the same times every body else and c.n.n. jumped on the in order to try and create a scandal as it were and it's backfired for them. well the efforts to undermine tom's presidency haven't stopped their reports in the u.s. media citing an anonymous source say the russians equivalent to facebook got in touch with trump claimed that the v.k. social network offered to promote trump's candidacy among russian speaking americans during the election jacqueline goes deeper into the story. no news is good news but russian news is always breaking is no matter how shaky the connection
12:16 pm
. 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 e-mails are the first indication there was any follow up after that meeting and not 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.
12:17 pm
account like many other celebrities but the media all but push those facts of the side choosing instead to focus on the young the 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 plan to continue to do for months and months and months as long as it
12:18 pm
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 baseless and yet another one of hundreds and hundreds of stories that have been and will continue to be nothing but sensationalism and russia phobia. now still come district is fast becoming a war zone according to sweden's chief prosecutor we'll take a look after the break. let me explain something to everybody out there is wants to be a success in life there's two ways to go you can either become educated you can do that by yourself go to the new york university websites of the gallatin division and get the syllabus of the book list at all gala to the vision students after i was at the gal to do this with your first big project two hundred fifty talks starting with aristotle read those books now you are educated the second way you
