1:06 pm
unilateral actions attempting 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 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 who you saw just then 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 to the un the prospects for middle east peace and to the

incorporation of settlements by israel might happen in another week's time this is more a question with us not 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 scuttle their 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. today marks thirty years since the start of the first intifada the armed palestinian uprising against israeli occupation the peace process over the intervening three decades has made little progress and where palestinians now are calling for a new into fodder it seems that the conflict is back to square one artie's an idea to do explains. 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
1:08 pm
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 hack 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. there.
1:09 pm
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. and was pushed down and little bit by some other events in the area. especially after the invasion of iraq and afghanistan and then all the other things and by the beginning of the second part of the arab revolutions
1:10 pm

1:11 pm
jerusalem and across the west bank are on file hamas has warned transposition 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 drama to come up with this declaration which perhaps himself 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. as 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.
1:12 pm
r.t. . the quest to prove donald trump colluded with russia shows no sign of letting up c.n.n. recently aired a story that donald trump jr had been centered directly linked 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 junior's personal assistant they got an e-mail with a decryption key and a web site address for hacked wiki leaks documents the documents were made public on september thirteenth 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 as 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.
1:13 pm
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. 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 those behind it of gross incompetence while wiki leaks founder julian assange called for somebody to be fired for that work later run a correction giving quote the proper context for the timing of the e-mail independent journalist martin summers believes that c.n.n. run the story without fact checking simply to cause scandal. but don't forget there's a 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
1:14 pm
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 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 has been contacted before the election and trying to been a straight people have been given inside knowledge that they just got the same information the same times every body else and c.n.n. jumped on the matter that in order to try and create a scandal as it were and it's backfired for them. the efforts to undermine trump's presidency haven't stopped their reports in the u.s. media citing an anonymous source say that russia's equivalent of facebook got in touch with trump and it's claimed that the v. k. social network offered to promote trump's candidacy among russian speaking americans during the election jacqueline bouvier goes deeper into the story. no
1:15 pm
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 of 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 on the network confirmed they made an offer to trump just
1:16 pm
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 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. the reply from donald trump's representatives they are story nothing.

1:19 pm
standing military engagement in the region is even helpful so hail armaan also slammed 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 is 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
