whenever you buy a russian product you're not just getting excellent quality. for a little bit of service with. the special. it is international live pictures for you right now. u.s. demonstrations in beirut as protesters. recognize jerusalem it does follow days of rage in palestine and nations in the un security

council. syria has claimed free of islamic state military groups. from the twenty eight. up to two years ago despite the i.o.c. saying there is no concrete evidence supporting clay of a drug program. also in the program vladimir putin announces he will run for reelection in the twenty eighteen presidential race. right now one minute past midday here in moscow you're watching. we can start this hour for you with the live pictures right now coming from the lebanese capital route have been protesters have gathered outside the u.s.

embassy in beirut. crying president to recognize jerusalem as israel's capital as we show you live pictures here you can see some of the demonstrators there waving palestinian and chanting slogans all here in sympathy with the palestinian dispute with. rubbish being said. on the stand the police have also been responding with tear gas. you see these issues here . now donald trump's decision over jerusalem ended america's neutrality on one of the most sensitive issues of the region as both palestine and israel of course contested their 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 up with several people killed in clashes with israeli police. unfortunately a us 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 seem 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 u.s. is the head of the snake. the locals throwing rocks bottles of coffee at not just all 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 here gas has been used rubber bullets palestinians are using. their bombs as well as stone throwing at. anger is to mood of the palestinian streets especially after the airstrikes launched on the gaza strip we were just now on the buffer zone and there were. a lot of confrontations between the palestinians and the israelis so we're here on

the middle of. as you can hear we're having some tear gas that's being shot off. us and jack we're in the middle of preachers have probably seen you have been shooting against a factor president trump saying this is really kept. i . jerusalem 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 and the ancient city also houses the shrine of the dome of the rock the oldest islamic monument still in existence and of course the mosque of the third holiest site in islam now israel calls to

roost in its 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 mostly israeli the eastern part palestinian and its holy sites are a particularly sensitive issue with an arrest frequently erupting over the now the arab league condemning donald trump's move and some of its members even call for the recognition of the state of palestine with a truce with them as its capital lebanon's foreign minister suggested sanctions should be imposed on the united states as we all know by now decision protests have been seen around the world. 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 the recognition by the state so jerusalem is the

capital of israel and we condemn it so finally it's international law. that every decision by the united states in its context gives legitimacy and recognition for occupation and the allowance of the de facto status using force. and number of european cities have also staged protests in support of palestine emergency session of the un security council was also conveying during the meeting of the fifteen members fourteen were united against just one that is that you know . ok we regret the u.s. president's decision washington's decision with serious concern these decisions 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 true actions attempting to change the status of jerusalem risk buffeting the long existing foundation for thirty two months of these really palestinian issues 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 been much debate and we discuss the issues with a number of guests. for us as 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 role. long 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 nerd 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 olympic chiefs reach their decision on the findings of an independent investigation into alleged state sponsored toping however individual athletes who can prove they are clean will be allowed to compete under a neutral flag. these you know i did ask lee so will participate in between individuals 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 it's simply the murder of our national sport. the probe headed by the former source president samuel schmidt found evidence of quote the systemic manipulation of the anti doping rules on the system it also led to the suspension of russia's olympic committee and a fifteen million dollars fine however the schmidt report says it's unclear exactly who was behind any doping efforts it also did not find evidence to suggest responsibility higher than the russian sports ministry. 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 at 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 barker and mr reedy and travis tygart and so on they need to do to kind of to stay on on top of us and are doing and you know she is very useful to keep this one is a thing i would question that i have my mind is ok soros has been 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 and to draw and say bush is bad russia is bad because it is the only bad one in order i think for clean in the case you know not for the case that there's a lot of bad guys everywhere. you know it's just it won't change and now with this it will change even further with another i.o.c.

investigation looking into individual cases is still ongoing and has already resulted in lifetime bans for twenty five athletes most of them insist they are innocent and accuse officials of violating their presumption of innocence. the story is a little more as we were almost nose markel at the things presently with you appear to be just plain you know that she only now believes close inequality is going to be a very slow i mean almost. but my mum could doesn't use niosh to your. list of do it just recently just really should sit on the. board from us pressed me and i want to shoot of that is to get used to should you be just. a goody good national boy in there which sickly child that was all right but the most

a thing even though i didn't think you won your absolute joining more of your to be stored soon. to be needed to push a sting out of the opinion leadership in europe what they see with the ocean of water starts. morning is not the. thing you did that. the salesman did you. watching if you'd. like to make food inside the decision against team russia it was politically motivated saying it's wrong to impose collective responsibility for the i.o.c. as president gave his assurance that politics played no role in the of. the i you see is a politically absolutely neutral we would not allow her to be influenced by any kind of political considerations in.

such a sporting matters they fielded exactly that question and they said this isn't a political decision but of course the world knows that it's exactly that this has been a controversy that has been cloud. it is political judgement and it's impossible to separate this particular decision from what's going on in the rest of the world regarding fake news and the allegedly intervention of russia into britain's bread vote and even the american presidential election so there is a lot of this kind of stuff swirling around the world at the moment a lot of it is beyond belief frankly about people are accepting some of it so i don't think you can disentangle the two things or appreciate you joining us here on r.t. international for the weekly on this sunday more of the program and. so

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

this is r.t. international this week the russian military announced syria has been completely liberated from islamic state 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 fifteen when i sold held more territory in the country than any other faction a 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 river it means the caliphate no longer exists and during the russian operation in that country

correspondents were given direct access to the car. this is the ad based in the talkie from which russian jets are launching their sorties against islam mixtape targets here in syria. whether it's. the pilots are ready to go that's a moment's notice. in this amphitheater laid down by the romans almost two thousand years ago that isis staged one of its secrets massacres the russian military considers it the crowding jewel of their operation here in syria.

you can see the heads. some of the impressive military hardware that isis have in the possession that has made the battle for power mera so tough extremely close to isis positions less than two kilometers away in. the. words a syrian artillery position overlooking the industrial course of their resort the battle is said to be theists isis fired back as we filmed shells began falling all around. we ran 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. in the past hour here in moscow this week the cryptocurrency bitcoin hit a high of nine thousand dollars making it now the fifth most valuable currency in circulation however its price then took a turn for the worse and has been falling ever since it's currently sitting at just over thirteen thousand the volatility of bitcoin is seeing the online gaming service steam no longer accepting the current scene of the decision it was promoted off to hackers carried out a heist at the cryptocurrency nice stealing millions of dollars worth of the currency. now takes a look at how bitcoin owners could suddenly find themselves in a very vulnerable position. it's calling the labels the hottest currency no one is using has passed 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 nice hash who faced elected users something was wrong when visitors were greeted with a maintenance notice quickly discovered that nice hash wallets were completely empty and all of the bitcoin had been transferred to one single wallets totaling over sixty two million dollars the company's advice to use this change in policy is . this involves the cryptocurrency exchange convinced it's multifaceted layers of security and hackable it created a system with multi signature wallets where keys were divided among own is and transactions had to be cosigned they're even bold enough to state the era of commingle and custom of bitcoin and all of the associated skirt exposure as well

famous last words one hundred twenty thousand units with dolan from the exchange platform valued then at around seventy two million dollars. now here's the low tech crypto fail a british man claims he accidentally threw a hard drive containing coin 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 the loss of at least two hundred fourteen million dollars worth of bits going 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 at that school and 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 for the moment it's being treated less like a currency and more like a store of value and of course we shouldn't be forgetting the volatile roller coaster trip it's taken to get hit so hang on for the rights if you're brave enough . lattimer putin has announced he will run for the presidency in the elections set for march twenty eighth teen artie's nikki aron has details. it was widely expected that lattimer putin would decide to run for reelection next year however he has played korea on the topic so many times i in recent months and one can 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 but you going to the bronx you for your support yes i would present my

candidacy for the president of the russian federation. but you barbara sure thank you for your reaction but first of all. now i was rumored that this 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. sure you remember 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 posted 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 all the other interesting thing about her is that she happens to be the daughter of the form a matter of simply. petersburg a man who vladimir putin himself has referred to as his mentor in those early days so that should prove quite interesting but it 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 head of lady mia she

were not skier the communist party is again r.d. zyuganov and the liberal yabloko parties grigori yavlinsky. also business on but boris titov who is from the party of growth he has pledged to wear champion the rights of on triple nurse so quite an eclectic mix there for the russian people to sink their teeth into ahead of the elections in march next year. breaking news story for you this hour and you can see the live pictures right now from. crowds of protesters of attempting to storm the u.s. embassy in the lebanese capital decrying president trumps decisions to recognize jerusalem as israel's capital of the demonstrators you can see here have been waving palestinian flags chanting slogans and various bits of rubbish. we understand are rocks being thrown down the police of intervene in moments with

they call me a useful idiot i'm useful idiot you called me a useful idiot a useful idiot useful idiots go expressing my opinions on t.v. there are thousands of us doing it behind his record is a simple strategy we attack persons instead of talking about the arc of what's next why stop will feel badly from getting this close to the white house i'm with a group code pink why not ban the color pink one hour stretch beyond the right i should be sent to the town of london because i'm to try to break me on the wheel but out with a long time of this sort of nonsense you don't scare me and i'll continue to voice my opinion i'll continue to speak out i'm in good company i'm in good company you going with me you want me to this is real free thinking.

somebody kind of feel. your name am going to follow. the stuff that's actually going to the full benefit of the compelling outcome so i can settle for a man that should give them their. legal . and.
