1:01 am
very good morning to you from all of us here at the international just off the nine am on monday here in moscow. well the past twenty four hours have seen a fresh wave of violent protests against donald trump's decision to recognize jerusalem as israel's capital and to move the u.s. embassy that. just a matter of days rallies against the move have fanned out across the region and beyond for example. protesters demanded the resignation of the american ambassador hundreds gathered in front of the u.n. office in the sudanese capital for an rally but the most violent demonstration occurred in beirut where protesters attempted to storm the u.s. embassy. local journalist mockingjay sent us this report. so this is the scene in
1:02 am
beirut of where the u.s. embassy is situated just a couple of miles from the center and number of palestinians on lebanese process has managed to cause mayhem here by actually breaking through a perimeter security perimeter out a wall and to get closer to the embassy causing what some might describe as a sort of a seed situation they were met very quickly with a violent reaction by lebanese security forces who fired tear gas and water cannon at them injuring something like between fifteen and twenty protests was immediately .
1:03 am
within sort period of calm for about a couple of hours and then the protest again rid its ugly head and turned very violent where police fired tear gas and charge at the same time in a an attempt to actually capture a few palestinian use which they did and we filmed them dragging them away into police vehicles that was in a violent ugly scene which our own cameraman actually got caught up with. he was not alone so i don't. know what it was so all of this because of donald trump's announcement to recognize jerusalem as israel's capital in what has been considered right across as a dangerous reckless and completely ill conceived move. a pro palestinian rally was also seen in paris just. before the israeli prime minister arrived in france many
1:04 am
minute and yahoos on his first trip to europe after america's recognition of jerusalem as israel's capital and the situation's not gone down well with president emanuel macron charlotte dubin ski reports well the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu is due to meet with e.u. foreign ministers for lunch it comes a day of the he met the french president emanuel must go on to discuss the increased tensions in the region following that decision by donald trump to announce that the u.s. would recognize jerusalem as being the capital of israel now mr macintyre ride did that declaration by donald trump and actually stated that he felt that it could potentially be against international law now the two men said at a press conference on sunday that peace was the only solution to the tensions in the region but now the two of them believe that they can come to some sort of
1:05 am
agreement on how that peace can be established they come down on very different sides of the fence take a listen to what they said at the press conference i expressed to prime minister netanyahu my disappointment of the u.s. president's declaration and explain that front sees it is contrary to international law and is dangerous to peace because it doesn't seem to serve in the short term the cause of security for israel and israelis and so. it's always been a catholic and jewish and it's never been the capital of any other people i think the sooner the palestinians come to grips with this reality the sooner you will move towards peace and this is why i think personally. and important piece of french president manual marc cohen is not the only leader to criticize that decision that announcement by donald trump there's also been criticism from the e.u. about that decision as well as other leaders such as the british prime minister theresa may who they described at that decision as unhelpful and said that she
1:06 am
disagreed with it now the german foreign minister also said that they were concerned that they could feel confrontation in the region now benjamin netanyahu the israeli prime minister has rebuked the e.u. for their stance and their criticism of that decision by donald trump to say jerusalem is the capital of israel he said that he heard voices condemning trump but not about the rockets being fired at israel and he accused e.u. leaders of hypocrisy now this comes amid days of protests in the region following that announcement over the us is stance on jerusalem as being the capital of israel so we put up this divisive issue for a debate. people can open the bible and to count how many times jerusalem is invention there they will find out also that jerusalem is not mentioned even one
1:07 am
time in the koran not even one time people will find out that jerusalem is the capital of israel since one thousand nine hundred forty eight the whole world is condemning this action because simply it's against the international law it's and against the framework for the peace process is has school fitted the united states for free did its position as a broker to the peace process and i tell you something the israelis have for palestinians in the past two days in peaceful protests while no israeli was killed there was an injury in an attack in and west jerusalem everything is a lie first everything my appalling says is a lie there were three terrorists killed in gaza strip which has nothing to do with the protests here because gaza strip they fired rockets and they forget about it they just forget that they fire rockets at israeli kindergarten when people who fought off followers of hijab in that whole say name hitler skylab the writer of
1:08 am
the ring cycle of world war those who created fatah before nine hundred sixty seven to destroy israel when this resists the said personalities common to teach us morality listen they cannot be defended themselves why they are illegally on somebody else's land that is unacceptable what they done what they do and what i have been doing since one thousand nine hundred seven is an aggression and with your other guests this radical has never been to your land never been the old land in the history of those land they were born in russia you were born with leisure as they do you just showed up for it said donald trump. kept his promises and his trying to do it his best we are grateful but the issue is not donald trump the issue as these people go around to other in a says europeans russians americans and we are here in the middle east the
1:09 am
only democracy of the all only all need really a light in this very dark environment in congress nothing like you are going to a.o.r. innovation when i try decision has not one not much support at the u.n. either the security council condemned the decision by fourteen members to one only the us defended itself or the bodies secretary-general suggested it poses a threat to the entire mideast peace process. i think that the decision that will stink and when's the risks to compromise these efforts and if that is the case it would be. the beaty. arab countries also condemning the move while some called for the decision to be reversed lebanon even suggested sanctions should be imposed on washington egypt's foreign affairs minister some may shakuri outlined to our sister channel r.t.
1:10 am
arabic his country's view of the situation. for shark the law we. have indicated on several occasions of the dangers related to such a decision and the possible ramifications. the decision was taken and we do still believe that it does not conform to international legitimacy through the resolutions of the united nations it was a shelter what we have seen in the degree of violence that has been instigated by this decision and i think egyptian position has been clear to him that it deplores this decision and feels that the has not contributed positively to the opportunities to achieve peace in the israeli palestinian. situation. police brutality in the united states making headlines again after body cam footage was recently released showing an officer fatally shooting an unarmed man and the
1:11 am
incident in fact took place in the state of arizona last year a warning though you may find this following video disturbing if you make a mistake. another mistake it was really your model if you are going to get shot. we are going to consider that threat we are going to deal with you may not survive you do the same as. the us tried. the new. trick the first year in the us to understand each car the shape. you know. mark a guard who's representing the victim's family said it's the most horrific shooting
1:12 am
he's ever seen the jury acquitted the officer of both murder and manslaughter charges last thursday human rights activist randy short believes the officers claims that he felt threatened don't quite hold up first and foremost that officer was with the group of other people with gun so there was no way that that man even if he had a weapon was going to be able to overcome that many people with body armor with high powered automatic weaponry it is a fantasy and a a sick joke that the officer claimed to fear for his life it was excessive floor so it was an execution and what has happened in this country is for the last eight years they've been justifying executing people now they're saying new cultural pandora box of impunity has been open for law enforcement and now they're going to kill white people life they kill blacks and native americans and others this is
1:13 am
also international still plenty of headlines coming your way including russia or announces the elimination of isis in syria but washington says all the true credit goes to the pentagon we'll explain that after the break. so there's no those all important as a person but he is important as is leaving. 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 saying it again so in the end i think most countries are accepting that he will stay.
1:14 am
here in moscow islamic states elimination in syria new rift between key foreign forces fighting in the country last week russia declared syria liberated from the extremist group with the help of syrian and iranian forces however that did not sit too well with the u.s. led coalition which claims it's the only force that made quote meaningful progress
1:15 am
against i still. hear. everyone was gearing up to celebrate isos grip on syria was loosening and the u.s. coalition forces had the champagne on ice america and its allies will defeat you are in is united in stopping a license resurgence bases in terms of as a physical caliphate will be gone by the end of the year but when the black flag was finally lowered some felt the limelight was stolen and used a number of the locals to russia's defense minister reported that the military operation on the east and west banks of the euphrates river is now completed with the full defeat of the terrorists of course that could still be some pockets of resistance but in general combat actions at this stage and on this territory are over. how dare russia claim the moment of glory i want to thank
1:16 am
general mattis for doing such a great job with respect to isis he's not the hell out of home. myself made it possible with what i've let you do i think. so instead of celebrating some choice perhaps predictably to squabble over before i know i find it surprising that russia takes all the credit for defeating eisel in reality eisel occupied a large part of syria and iraq and it was the coalition that shrank the territory occupied by the jihadists let's step back and look at how i still lost ground in the south the syrian army backed by russian at power repainted the map from black to damascus red well coalition forces with the help of the kurds did much of the heavy lifting by liberating swathes of northern syria but heaven forbid we should even consider this a team effort. three
1:17 am
years the various sides have said a common goal driving i saw out of syria but now that's been achieved for some the main thing now is taking all the credit it is still absolutely critical to the us role in the world to maintain this this narrative that it is a response only responsible for. you know the good things that happen in the world while its enemy is responsible for all the bad things and and unfortunately it sees russia as not just a competitor but really as an enemy at this point. the former. special envoy to syria nicholas van dam told r.t. so if you have an answer that attempts to take all the credit for defeating i soul
1:18 am
are only made for political gain at home i think it's not and the country that is really can claim that they have had their victory because there are so many countries involved in the fight against against islamic state it is the western alliance arab countries the syrian regime dear amy and. so to claim it i think it's a political statement that wants to claim that he or she is the main responsible for winning from dives i did says be in the process of various years. well as a lawmaker states defeat has also been declared in neighboring iraq with
1:19 am
a military parade held in celebration in baghdad. and i would like to announce that all armed forces and finally create a new and alan bond for all this is a cool control of the iraqi syrian border. in this case the pentagon welcomed the announcement saying it will continue to support iraqi forces to ensure i suppose defeat and the state department spokesperson has made it clear that the u.s. has no plans to leave the country claiming the fight against terror it's still not finished. the united states joins the government of iraq in stressing that iraq's liberation does not mean the fight against terrorism and even against isis in iraq is over the united states along with a global coalition to defeat isis will continue to partner with iraqi security forces advising training and equipping them journalist and they closed over use told us washington will try to find other ways to justify its presence in the country now but the terrorists have been defeated if the iraqi government believes
1:20 am
that it has. essentially got the resistance to its control of the country and and then it will probably once again be wanting the americans to leave so then it becomes a matter of whether the americans can actually find justification is to maintain some kind of presence they always have maintained some presence special operations forces working with the kurdish peshmerga in iraqi kurdistan of course now there's a certain level of conflict now between the iraqi government and the government of iraqi kurdistan and that may in some way be used as the u.s. by the u.s. as a justification for keeping a least special operations forces and north in iraq.
1:21 am
britain's relations with russia are in a state of quote a cool war so according to the new u.k. defense secretary governor williamson who took office just a month ago warned that action must be taken risher avoiding a war against britain on so many different levels were to cool wall but one where russia is incredibly active enjoyed to do damage to british interests we should not be complacent about that we need to make sure armed forces have the resources to deal with it. the defense secretary's remarks came while he was discussing rushers so-called online troll factories he said the army is countering them with a special twitter warriors brigade the british prime minister has previously accused russia of trying to meddle in european elections and spreading fake news on that independent journalist martin summers believes despite a lack of evidence the government will not back down well i think that sort of
1:22 am
language is intemperate and pointless there is obviously the current government in the u.k. is going along with the us deep states policy of trying to prove provokes conflict with russia this country there's a suggestion that vote was orchestrated by the f.s.b. it's laughable really that's cause some problems for some reason may in order to fit in with the general narrative viz she made a speech at the mansion house accusing the russians of of meddling and then she had to go to parliament and retract exactly what she said the day before. i'm afraid this hysteria about russian meddling in western elections there isn't much evidence of it's and it doesn't make much much sense but they're determined to keep pushing it because then they look if they drop it all now they look very stupid they spent eighteen months banging on about this there isn't any evidence but if they drop it then they're just going to admit that they were talking through their boss and the
1:23 am
whole time and they just don't want to do that. but i would also seems rusher is even a threat to gamers the newest update of the controversial grand theft auto series now portrays russia as a global threat combining it with well known axis of evil states. is worried that someone. has to be the russian or the north korea or the chinese. video game developers who use external enemies as a time proven plot current movies are riddled with evil states and they're always the same ones. russia. russia just executed one of their own to keep their secrets you

1:29 am
quite different i speak to you now because there are no other takers. claimed that mainstream media has met its maker. poem so if you go on sophie shevardnadze the war against islamic state may be entering its final phase in syria but a resolution to the country's wider civil conflict is not yet inside while the deadly grind continue or can the warring parties be finally brought to the table while i ask nikolaus one dollar former dutch special envoy to syria. he's running state is making his final stand of syria shaken by the blows of government and kurdish forces the end of the war against the caliphate is in sight but with the
1:30 am
main enemy over gone what will happen to the unwritten truths between the president and the syrian rebels former vice is based in the end of the syrian civil war. served to prolong the carnage. because madame former dutch special envoy to syria a veteran diplomat author off destroying a nation the civil war in syria welcome to the show great pleasure to have you with us she ran down islamic state holds no more than a few small towns in south this serious stunning reversal from the times one that stretched from aleppo to missile now you might expect isis to revert to guerrilla tactics and are ground terrorism now how dangerous well the terror will be after its military defeat it well there will be under groaned so it's more difficult actually to groom undergrown organization so they will try to do terrorist operations perhaps not in syria.
