5:05 pm
. 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 turbulent region our actions are intended to help advance the cause of peace at stake is the respect for international law and the legitimate rights are for each side at stake is the legitimacy of the security council israel like all nations has the right to determine its capital city. and to change the status of jerusalem response within the existing foundation the system of the israeli palestinian issue the united states took this step in full
5:06 pm
knowledge that it will raise questions and concerns where they did 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. and void to the united nations the key hailey was just speaking then she attacked the u.n. itself and accused 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 peace than to advance them we will not be a party to that the united states no longer stands by when israel is unfairly
5:07 pm
attacked in the united nations. foreign ministers of the arab league countries have held an urgent meeting on the jerusalem issue some of them of already called for recognition of the state of palestine with east jerusalem as its capital in retaliation the troops decision we spoke to guests from both palestine and israel who shared their views on the legitimacy of the move. the united states has been isolated in the security council during the discussion. because of its illegal outrageous position on jerusalem and even then there the explanation the united states is giving for this for this position including statements made by. really all of it from a to z. is wrong is is is not reflective of realities is not in line with international law and security council resolutions themselves the matter
5:08 pm
is that we are here for already seventy years all our government institutions are in jerusalem and if anybody opens the bible well there will five that since the time of davy king david zero slim was the capital of israel the choice is actually not just a matter of capital of the choices where the. people want to respect history culture see ology and whether they want to respect their own promises well the president trump respects his words he promised to move the embassy he promised the recognized one and he thousands it's a very good example for other people to be loyal to closest allies in. the quest to prove donald trump colluded with russia shows no sign of letting up
5:09 pm
c.n.n. recently aired a story that had been sent a direct link to wiki leaks hacked documents on the democratic national committee before they were even 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 the documents were made public on september thirteenth by wiki leaks twitter feed c.n.n. claimed that the e-mail was sent on september fourth but 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 from virginia 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. tweet and apologize to the two or three people that still believe you to be
5:10 pm
credible your welcome u.s. president also slammed the story accusing those behind it of gross incompetence wiki leaks founder julian assange also called for someone to be fired the network later on a correction giving quote the proper context for the timing of the email we discussed this story with several independent journalists they believe c.n.n. ran the story without fact checking simply to cause a scandal. i think they have become a victim of their own mania that they have themselves helped create more than anyone else we've had a long long list of errors that had to be corrected in this long running hysteria about russia supposing interference in the american election there are even more disturbing stories where there's not real factual error but there spawn in a way that leads into the story they're trying to prove they have lost control of how to report this story they never had an objective view about that and don't forget the kind of relationship between mainstream media like c.n.n.
5:11 pm
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 the 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 and in this case of course they got the dates of the wiki leaks concept wrong which completely changed the context of the story it wasn't that wiki leaks have been contacted before the election and trump has been a straight and people have been given inside knowledge that they just got the same information the same terms of a 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 the efforts to undermine tom's presidency haven't stopped bad reports in the u.s. media citing an anonymous source say russia's equivalent of facebook got in touch
5:12 pm
with team trump claimed that the v.k. social network offered to vote candidacy among russian speaking americans during the election jacqueline vega goes deep into the story. 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 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.
5:13 pm
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 pushed 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 after 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
5:14 pm
a reply from donald trump's representatives it is absolutely ludicrous and it is part of the nature of how war 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 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 and still come district is fast becoming a war zone according to sweden's chief prosecutor who explain all after the break. thank.

5:27 pm
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 to northern ireland and former european minister lord hayne gives us his take on trays of may's so-called coalition of chaos and why this week's few people act to break the deadlock could have deadly consequences and as 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 had to go shaded david davis said this about preparing for britain's departure from the e.u. and fan of economic models because they have proved with the review jeremy called
5:28 pm
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 that have caused us 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 chilly day full of 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
5:29 pm
a former middle east minister for britain myself and i think that's catastrophic interest 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 sites 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 israelis 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 to go from washington to inform you before i'm not surprised that president trump didn't inform and theresa may know
5:30 pm
because he just tweets his announcements or goes off the cuff but certainly we would have been consulted if president bush or president clinton had done anything like this we'd have been consulted with have expressed our views here then made it clear albeit the donald trump has said that solutions other than the two state solution may be on the table palestinian activism for a long time said this should be a one state solution with all communities living equally the two state solution was basically a lie the guy and of solution you were putting forward when you were foreign minister well i think the time has been running out for a two state solution for some time and that was the preferred. solution of the oslo process the palestinians rather against the natural will accept that the israelis went along with it there's now voices from the very top of the israeli government netanyahu and others saying a two state solution is not acceptable so we have to find by the whether it is in
5:31 pm
which case the settlements have to stop.
