decision to recognize jerusalem the capital of israel. palestine protests worldwide and even. from the u.n. security council. syria has been proclaimed free of islamic states military groups still remain. after the doping scandal which erupted two years ago that is despite the. concrete evidence supporting claims of a state sponsored drug program. also in the program today vladimir putin announcing he will run for reelection in the twenty eight presidential records.

for thank you for sharing your sunday with us here. good timing is good for the weekly with the top headlines of the day. of course it was this week the u.s. president announced a washington will officially recognized the capital of israel the decision ended america's neutrality on one of the most sensitive issues of the region as both palestine and israel have long contested claims over that city. therefore i have determined that it is time to officially recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel in response to trump's move palestinians declared three days of rain which ended with several people killed in clashes with israeli police .

are unfortunately a u.s. president makes a statement in the israeli citizens will need to pay the price for dangerous days are coming to jerusalem. and. he were actually stood down by damascus gate but they seemed to be scuffles that 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 us is the head of the snake. the locals throwing rocks bottles of coffee 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. it's going to be in default i think so here in

bethlehem there is a large deployment or for very horses on the ground tear gas has been used rubber bullets palestinians are using. their bombs as well as stone throwing at. gary's demoed of the palestinian streets especially after the air strikes launched on the gaza strip really just now on the buffer zone and there were a lot of confrontations between the. i list of names and the israelis so we have on the middle of. as you can hear we're having some tear gas being shot off. and jack we're in the middle of prices have been shaking i'm going to factor president trump saying this is really kept. i.

is considered sacred by jews muslims and christians and the jewish quarter of the city is home to the western wall the last remnant of the second jewish temple which was destroyed by the romans the ancient city also houses the shrine of the dome of the rock the oldest islamic monument still in existence and of course the al aksa mosque the third holiest site in islam now israel calls to rousseau limits quote eternal capital however most of the international community simply does not recognize that claim in fact no country in the world has an embassy in jerusalem only some consulates the western part of the city is most israeli in the eastern part is palestinian and that's holy sites are a particularly sensitive issue with unrest frequently erupting over them now the arab league meantime condemned trumps move some of its members even called for

recognition of the state of palestine east jerusalem as its capital and lebanon's foreign minister suggested sanctions should be imposed on the united states as we know there were the end of the day protests were seen around the world. but no one has the right to play with the fates of millions of people for the sake of one's personal ambitions. the kingdom of jordan refuses recognition. states is the capital of israel and we condemn it so finally it's international law. that the decision by the united states in its context gives legitimacy and recognition for occupation and the allowance of the de facto status using force i. i.

and number of european cities have also staged protests in support of palestine and emotions the session of the un security council was also convened during the meeting of the fifteen members fourteen were united against just one that of the united states. ok we regret the u.s. president's decision 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 fuelling tensions and increasing instability in an already volatile and turbulent reach of israel like all nations has the right to determine its capital city you know that drill actions attempting to change the status of jerusalem risk buffeting the long existing foundation for thirty two months of these really palestinian issue the united states will not be lectured to

by countries that lack any credibility when it comes to treating both israelis and palestinians fairly so clearly the decision by donald trump has sparked much debate and we discussed all of it with a number of guests. 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 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 he has done 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 no word intifada really means a popular uprising and a popular uprising can take the varieties of ways and 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. on tuesday team russia was banned from competing at the twenty eighteen winter

games a limp dick chief's reached a decision on the findings of an independent investigation into alleged state sponsored doping however individual athletes who can prove they are clean will be allowed to compete under a neutral flag. please you know i did ask lee so we'll probably see bates beat an individual or team competitions under the name olympic else leads from russia. no one thought about what it actually means for the athletes to go to the olympics under a neutral flag and simply the murder of our national sport. the probe headed by the former swiss president some ul schmidt found evidence of quote the systematic manipulation of the anti doping rules and system it also led to the

suspension of russia's olympic committee and a fifteen million dollar fine however the schmidt report says it's unclear exactly who was behind any doping efforts and also didn't find evidence to suggest any responsibility higher than the russian sports minister a. nevertheless the independent and impartial evidence do not allow the i.o.c. d.c. to establish with certitude either who initiated or who headed this scheme on many occasions reference was made on the involvement at the minister of sports level but no indication independent or impartial evidence appeared to cooperate any involvement or knowledge and a higher level of the state the simple truth is that in order to compete at the highest level you have to do something to stay there and when you have a very well paying job at the level of mr packer and mr reedy and travis tiger and so on they need to do to kind of stay on on top and us into doing a new russia is very useful to keep this one is the thing i would question that i

have my mind is ok so russia's bond and so long as it was completely beyond what next who else will go after like my my money would be on nobody because they want to keep beating or sick a piece a new drum say bush is bad russia's bad because it is the only bad one in order at least for clean in the case you know not for the case that there's a lot of bad guys everywhere and. you know it's just it won't change and now with this it will change even further. when claims of state run cheating first emerged there were widespread calls to hit russia hard with many now welcoming the i.o.c. his decision however a number of international athletes have expressed sympathy on twitter claiming the scandal has been politicized. what a sad and complicated situation i feel sick for the clean affected deathless and fully sympathize with whatever emotions they may feel.

this decision by the i.o.c. is just a political symbol the really does nothing to punish the actual cheaters there is still a large number of days yet please competing this just opens the door for them to continue through the olympics. it's a victory that only officially cleared and clean athletes will be able to compete in china but it's so sad that russian athletes weren't be able to compete under the flag of the country raise them and other i.o.c. investigation looking into individual cases is still ongoing but has already resulted in lifetime bans for twenty five athletes r.t. escape partridge takes a wider look at the story. four years ago there was skepticism that russia's first winter olympics would go without a hitch due mongers predicted not enough flights not enough hotels and not enough snow concerns about socially squaller in sochi double toilets and missing door

handles the water that came out of the tower problem with the door of the house skaters went so well even critics had to admit they were it we think going amazing it's running like clockwork and everything's just going really really well as i'm been really impressed and everything that she's done so far. through our accommodation for almost four years later and russians who triumphed in sochi and now being stripped of their medals and given life a live picture why twenty sixty in the middle report explosively claimed russia used an elaborate system of state sponsored doping athletes officials and ministers were implicated by the plots of a cold war novel the attitude to russia a return to skepticism then retribution as its track and field team and entire paralympic team from the rio gave which left the clean athletes wondering why. about how the russians completing it so they adopted the right policy

but sure they are a clean nation never mind cleaned out they are to be a clean nation. the i.o.c. and i p.c. have now definitively fact up mclaren supporting the claims of former lab boss cricketing don't think of who's under criminal investigation in russia and saying that infamous sample swapping system has finally been replicated but questions remain the i.o.c. standard of proof is not beyond any reasonable doubt but rather the balance of probability the presumption of guilt is enough it was rajan called who was the original and only source of so-called proof against russian fleets this evidence has been grossly overvalued we can see we are seeing the result of a proper legal process it's a question of faith to believe broaching court or not it looks more like a religious inquisition. west than full bottles had no visible scratches they were

presumed tempered with as the russians must have perfected their technique and left no marks and no argument basis for an on mass ban to clean condemned without any guilt no presumption of innocence or team russia what we see here is actually a violation of the olympic charter which is. which stands against political national racial discrimination so it appears that in the name of protecting clean athletes they are actually taking away the rights of russian clean athletes and in my opinion the mclaren accusations are unfounded and they are very politically biased. surely any athlete should be denied a medal and banned from competition if he or she cheats it undermines others' lifetime's work as does abound slapped on the innocent who are simply prison.

so there's no those all important as a person but he is a. far as his leaving would cause a risk in the regime falling apart so indeed the americans are the americans are much less to have him leave the old oil from time to time they keep seeing it again so in the end i think most countries are accepting that he will stay.

thank you joining us on this sunday this week the russian military announced syria has been completely liberated from islamic state and military groups but it warned that although no particular area is held by jihadists now there are still small pockets of resistance the russian operation in syria began in september twenty fifth in and i still held more territory in the country than any other faction or u.s. led coalition has also been involved in the northeastern part of the country and with the liberation of the area to the west of the euphrates. it means the caliphate no longer exists during the russian operation and the country

correspondents were given direct access to this conflict. this is the ad based in love hockey from which russian jets are launching the sorties against islam mix they target here in syria. whether it's. time the pilots are ready to go what's a moment's notice. in this amphitheater laid down by the romans almost two thousand years ago that isis staged one of its sickest massacres the russian military considers it the crowding

jewel of the operation here in syria. you can see had just some of the impressive military hardware that isis have in the possession that has made the battle for power mera so tough way extremely close to isis positions less than two kilometers away in. the. words a syrian artillery position overlooking the industrial quarter if there is order the battle is said to be vs isis fired back as we filmed shells began falling well around. we. but the syrian batteries kept firing life indeed as order is still far from normal but at

least they will be starving to death and the more. this week the cryptocurrency bitcoin had a high of nineteen thousand dollars making it the fifth most valuable currency in circulation however its price then took a turn for the worse and has been forming up a since it's currently sitting at just over thirteen thousand now the volatility of bitcoin a c. in the online gaming service steam no longer accepting the current c at the decision was promoted off the high because carried out a heist at the cryptocurrency for. stealing millions of dollars worth of current see. now taking a look at how it point could suddenly find themselves in a very vulnerable position. it's calling the labels the hottest currency no one is using his past milestone off to milestone but the rising value of the

cryptocurrency 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 noise hash his face averted uses something was wrong when visitors were greeted with a maintenance notice quickly discovered that nice house one is were completely empty and all of the bitcoin had been transferred to one single wallet totaling over sixty two million dollars the company's advice to use this change of policy is . this involves a cryptocurrency exchange convinced it's multifaceted layers of security. it created a system with multi signature while it's where keys were divided among owners and transactions had to be cosigned there even bold enough to state the arrow. commingle and custom of bitcoin and all of the associated skirt exposures is famous

last words one hundred twenty thousand units were stolen from the exchange platform valued then at around seventy two million dollars. now here's a low tech crypto fail a british man who claims he accidentally threw a hard drive containing bitcoin 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 a loss of at least two hundred fourteen million dollars worth of bits calling but despite the security issues that have plagued cryptocurrency as over the is the price of bitcoin continues to skyrocket there even predictions that if this continues by this rate this time next year if it could be worth more than the

entire world's wealth one single bitcoin will equal is it 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. lot of a putin has announced he will run for the presidency in the elections set for march twenty eighth. it was widely expected that lattimer putin would decide to run for reelection next year however he's played coil on the topic so many times over in recent months and will call help but wonder whether he was genuinely conflicted on whether to run for the presidency again or whether he was just being really good at keeping a secret and playing the media nevertheless we were put out of our misery when he said this was a prank you for your. support yes i will present my candidacy for the president of

the russian federation. but you barbara sure thank you for your reaction but first of all for you lord. and i was rumored that there's a big announcement would come earlier in the day when he attended a volunteers for him here in moscow in fact i was here ready and waiting to bring you the breaking news of his decision however he played quite once again and also seemed to seek validation from the audience there and they seemed very clear on what decision he should make us. going to show you if i make such a decision. and the people close to you support it. but it still should prove to be an interesting race over the coming weeks and months with quite an eclectic mix of candidates throwing their hats into the ring

one of the most prominent being a stop child who's been gaining headlines around the world she's the former reality t.v. presenter she's also postponed playboy amongst other things that she's considered to be the russian paris hilton and what's also quite interesting about her is that she and t. putin she's attended opposition rallies and she's promised to unite people against vladimir putin one of the all the other interesting thing about her is that she happens to be the daughter of the former mayor of petersburg a man who vladimir putin himself has referred to as his mentor in those early days so that should for it quite interesting but if girls aside there are an unprecedented number of women entering the race for the presidency next year which is quite extraordinary because it's the first time we've seen any woman enter the race for the presidency in russia in fourteen years and of course there are the usual suspects as well. including the liberal democratic party had to flood the

media she were no scare the communist party is again on the zyuganov and the liberal yabloko parties grigori yavlinsky up five from not also business own but men teach all of his from the policy of growth he has pledged to champion the rights of entrepreneurs so quite an eclectic mix that for the russian people to think that teeth into the head of the elections in march next year when i thanks for joining us here at all to international sharing your sunday with us for the weekly program we'll return in a little over thirty minutes. thank .
