this is international. tensions are rising in lebanon where protesters attempted to storm the u.s. embassy in the capital beirut is the latest in a string of protests decrying president. to recognize jerusalem as israel's capital .

right now we are witnessing. just a few minutes ago there was a charge from at least i'd say fifty or sixty police officers some of them will be in buttons others actually carrying m. sixteen s we managed to push back. a number of. palestinian protesters one of two of which they managed to catch and take back to their base behind me which you can see now so that caused a certain amount of tension and so but at the moment now things have calmed right down the police i think engaged in more of the cleanup and the rearranging themselves you can see behind me all sorts of things going as army personnel reposition themselves and police start to take control of these demonstrations beginning to roll out and i think we're at the beginning of something quite big you know just in two thousand and eleven just six years ago or so we saw what sparks the arab spring then and how that shook

a lot of governments longer leaks in the region and i think many of those same elites in the middle east will be wondering is this going to escalate sunday's also seen protesting gaza and clashes with the police in the city of bethlehem local journalists could already has reports now from the israel palestine border. so how are listed means in gaza strip and the west bank think ten years their broadcast of the fourth day of anger palestinians in gaza are protesting on the buffer zone where i am now which is not. a lot of confrontations and clashes are happening now between youth protest areas and the israelis since the morning there were a lot of protests and demonstrations in students and press journalists who were chanting slogans against trams decision for recognizing through slim as the state of israel where now everything's asked relating especially in bethlehem there are

lots lots of that tear gas bombs and live bullets it's very dangerous now in bit because it's the main act a lot of for testers in palestine especially in bethlehem are very angry and moving to gaza strip there is only one in syria now where you're with that's your guys and there was a russian correspondent who was also affected by tear gas by. jerusalem is considered sacred by jews muslims and christians the jewish quarter of the city so 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 as the mosque the third holiest site in islam. who israel calls to islam is eternal capital however most of the international community recognize the climb no country in the world has an embassy to jerusalem only some consulates the western part of the city is mostly israeli

the eastern part palestinian holy sites are particularly a sensitive issue with unrest frequently erupting over them just earlier on sunday in jerusalem police arrested a man after a stabbing at a bus station which left one person seriously injured with more on his shoulder to ski. i'm out site at the central bus station in jerusalem where this incident took place on sunday afternoon we've watched the footage of what happened and it appears that a palestinian man looks like he's trying to enter into the central bus station and then out of nowhere it stops the security guard in the chest now we understand that the security guard is twenty five and receive treatment at the scene for his injuries but was later taken to hospital he said to be in a serious condition sedated and on a respirator now police say that they are treating this as a terrorist attack and have prevented the palestinian man they believe that was behind that attack i've been speaking to some of the medical crew who first at the

scene described what they saw we were the first on the scene. to. intensive care ambulance they took him to the hospital all the sick place within a couple of minutes and in the latest development today we've heard from the israeli defense minister who's called in israelis to boy caught our of the businesses in the area where protesters being held saying that the arabs particularly those in an area called wadi which is in the north of the not part of us are not part of israel but he did say later on in that interview that he hoped all would be calm soon and that normal life would return. to the arab league smooth and some of its members even call for recognition of the state palestine of east jerusalem as its capital but on this forum and suggested sanctions should be imposed on the u.s. protests and also seen around the globe. no one has the right to play with the

fates of billions of people for the sake of one's first. the kingdom of jordan refuses the recognition by the states of jerusalem as the capital of this. and we condemn it violates international law. but that the decision by the united states in its context gives legitimacy and recognition for occupation and the allowance of a de facto status using force. the. number of rallies in support of palestine have been held across europe and in turkey an emergency session of the un security council was also convened during that meeting of the fifteen members fourteen united against just one the u.s.

. ok we regret the u.s. president's decision moscow met washington's decision with serious concern these decisions are helpful to the prospects for peace in the region our actions reflected an honest assessment of reality it is fueling tensions and increasing instability in an already volatile and turbulent region israel like all nations has the right to determine its capital city unilateral 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. the decision by trump a spark much debate we discussed the issue with several guests. but 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 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 parties 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 word intifada really means a popular uprising and a popular uprising and varieties of ways 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. russian team was banned from competing in the twenty eight hundred winter olympics international olympic committee chiefs reached a decision based on the findings of an independent investigation into alleged state sponsored doping however individual athletes who can prove that they are clean will be allowed to compete under a neutral flag. these you know i did elsley so will participate beads in individual

or team competitions under the name olympic else lead 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. probe headed by former swiss president samuel schmidt found evidence of systemic manipulation of the anti doping rules and system it also led to the suspension of russia's a limpid committee and a fifteen million dollars fine however the report says it's unclear exactly who was behind any doping efforts. 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 reid ian travers target and so on they need to do to kind of stay on on top of us into doing a new russia is very useful to keep to the one of the thing i would question that i have my mind is ok so russia's been and so long as it was completely banned what next who else would we go after like my my money would be on nobody because they want to keep beating or sickie preaching to drum save russia's by russia's by because if russia 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. you know it won't change and now with this it will

change even for the. another i.o.c. investigation looking into individual cases is still ongoing and has already resulted in lifetime bans from the games for twenty five athletes most of the misses that innocent and accused officials of violating the presumption of innocence. the story is a little more as we were almost nose markel things probably with your period between you know that she only now believes close your record is going to be a very slow i mean almost a book my mom could get the news nice studio dodged. the first of do it just reasonably just really should sit on them you can sure. pressed me and i want to shoot of that is to choose to shoot anybody just me. or gordie

could national boy in there which sickly chariot the guy was all right but the most the thing even though i've been thinking that you want him up so you can enjoy any more of your to be stored so you. to be nearer to the bushy stingers of the opinion leadership in europe where they seem to be with us you've watched dirty. it all which in. a morning like newsnight does the thing you did that just. the three of them did you. watching. them efficient said the decision against the russian team was politically motivated adding that it's wrong to impose collective responsibility that the i.o.c. president has given his assurance that politics played no part in the outcome. the ai you see is politically absolutely neutral we would not allow her to be influenced by any kind of political considerations

in. such a sporting metters 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 clouded in political judgment 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 brags 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 but in a putin has confirmed he will run for the russian presidency in march of two thousand and eight will explain all after the break.

so there is no the all important as a person but here is a far as his leaving would cause a risk in the regime falling apart so indeed the americans are the americans for much less to have him leave although from time to time we keep seeing a figure so. in the end though think most countries are accepting that he will

steve. welcome back this week the russian military announced syria had been completely liberated from islamic states but no particular area is now held by the jihad this there are still small pockets of resistance russian operation in syria began in september two thousand and fifteen when i still held more territory in the country than any of the factions a u.s. led coalition has also been involved in the northeastern part of the country with the area west of the euphrates river now liberated and still so for claim to caliphate effectively no longer exists today the iraqi government also declared it had full leverage the country of islamic state during the russian operation in

syria correspondents were given direct access to the complex. this is the ad based in love talk e-mail from which russian jets are launching the sorties against islam ixnay targets here in syria. whether it's. dinner time the pilots are ready to go at a moment's notice. in this amphitheater laid down by the romans or most 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 that possession that has made the battle for palmira so tough way extremely close to isis positions less than two kilometers away in. the. words a syrian artillery position overlooking the industrial quarter of their resort the battle is said to be theists isis fired back as we filmed shells began falling well around. we ran but the syrian batteries kept firing life even did is order is still far from normal but at

least they won't be starving to death anymore. and as announced that he will run for president in the elections set for march two thousand and eight hundred hotties nicky aaron has the details. it was widely expected that vladimir putin would decide to run for reelection next year however he has played coyle on the topic so many times over in recent months and well content 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 is the frank you for your support yes present my candidacy for the president of the russian federation.

but see below which thank you for your reaction but first of all for you. 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 a poster 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 when all all the other interesting thing about her is that she happens to be the daughter of the former mayor of some petersburg a man who vladimir putin himself has referred to as his mentor in those early days so that should sort of 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 scare the communist party is again r.d. zyuganov and the liberal yabloko parties grigori you. also business to. the teeth of his from the party of growth he has pledged to wear champion the rights of on triple no so quite an eclectic mix for the russian people to sink their teeth into ahead of the elections in march next year. this week the cryptocurrency bitcoin hits the heart of nineteen thousand dollars making it the fifth most valuable currency in circulation but it's price that took a turn for the worse and it's been falling since curly says just over fifteen thousand dollars the volatility the scene the online gaming service steam no longer

upsetting the currency the decision followed by the cryptocurrency for knowing whether you stole millions of dollars worth of the currency and he said he takes a look at how big can find themselves vulnerable. it's calling labels the hottest currency no one is using his past milestone after milestone but the rising value of the crypto currency 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 first alerted users something was wrong when visitors were greeted with a maintenance notice kerns quickly discovered their nice hash wallets 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 users change your

password. this involves a crypto currency exchange convinced it's multifaceted layers of security and hackable 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 era of commingle in customer. 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 the low tech crypto faile a british man 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 callous management these three cases alone including the final mishap have seen a loss of at least two hundred fourteen million dollars worth of bitcoin 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 it's calling could be worth more than the entire world's wealth one single bitcoin will equal is it fifteen million dollars the use of bitcoin is 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. around two thousand people have gathered in the center of kiev demanding the preachment of ukrainian president petro poroshenko was the arrest of over georgian president turned ukrainian opposition figure because saakashvili during
