united states for you know for a hundred years and then all of a sudden we have them almost on a weekly basis it's not just in the united states is happening in europe everywhere that opens its warders and allows people. who who arrive with with they often with a religious belief that they have to play to be an avid fans of the country it's inevitable that you're going to have that we have very radical mosques that function in this country and over in europe and they literally preach hate and they say look go out you know it's your duty to to murder people and they go out and they do it and sometimes it takes many years some of these people are not even religious and then they you know they have
1:06 pm
a religious conversion later on and if they go to one of these bad mos then then the next thing that you have is a is a suicide bomber. thank the russian president vladimir putin is on a trip across the middle east right now he's in the turkish capital ankara holding talks with president at one. the two leaders plan to discuss bilateral cooperation particularly in the center of energy also expected to make statements on the syrian peace process and the middle east situation in general early the russian president made a stop in cairo where he met his gyptian counterpart with more on that is. like one of lattimer putin suddenly showed up in syria a little earlier his cairo trip was planned in advance but what kind of timing this is to squeeze in talks with both the president of egypt and turkey in cairo and ankara and here we're talking about
1:07 pm
a timeframe of just several hours while donald trump's jerusalem move really continues to send shock waves across the entire middle east and as abdel fatah sisi and vladimir putin were addressing the journalists here at the presidential palace in cairo we heard more condemnation of that move as a seok we were discussing the palestinian issue and especially the situation after the usa decided to recognize jerusalem as the israeli capital and to move the u.s. embassy from tel aviv to there this reckless and provocative decision will have consequences that will influence the resolution of the conflict and the stability of the situation egypt and russia support israel and palestine resuming talks over all disputed issues they have including the status of jerusalem the solid agreement that takes into account the interests of both sides should be reached we consider any action that anticipates the outcome for peace talks between israel and
1:08 pm
palestine counterproductive again this was being said in cairo the egyptian capital where it looks like the arab league is ready to convene and come up with a united official response which will basically mean that it's a response from the entire region but even before this week a lot has been said in front of the microphones and in the streets they can. oppose people's feelings and beliefs this is a new type of adventurism and global arrogance of the us. the kingdom of jordan refuses the recognition by the united states so jerusalem is the capital of israel out of 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 indeed right now it is fair to say that not only the arab world but a broader islamic community is ready to stand up for the palestinians so far the president of turkey tiber dog turned out to be the most outspoken and here's what
1:09 pm
that led to the east israel is a states of tara who. will not abandon true slim to the mercy of a state that kills children i'm not used to receiving. lectures. about morality from a leader who bombs kurdish villagers in his native turkey. who dreams dreams. hopes you're on the wrong international sanctions and journalists and so on monday president putin ordered the start of the withdrawal of russian forces from syria to several days after he announced the complete defeat of islamic state in the country artist on hold conciliatory my colleague kate partridge with more. also in many will view it that way kate especially from a military point of view this of course was a surprise visit as you mentioned earlier to the base in latakia is part of putin's
1:10 pm
middle eastern visit he is off to egypt next to visit the president there abdel fattah el-sisi who will discuss the issue with alongside news about his negotiations with. the turkish president as well he has made it clear though that while the bulk of the troops is withdrawing as early as today in fact the first pilots flying back to russia we understand. the military forces will be quick to return if the terrorists improve his own words rear their heads once again let's take a listen to a statement. about it on the air to the defense minister and the head of the general staff would have started he would draw all of the russian forces to their permanent lakes and if the terrorists dare to raise their heads again we will strike back with the strength they have never seen before now of course the base in tartus in attack here will remain although the bunk of the bulk of troops is going home over the last two years the russian troops have played a very important role in backing the syrian army in regaining territory ever again
1:11 pm
around ninety percent of the country russian troops were closely involved in liberation of aleppo palmira twice in fact of the it was all on the euphrates river bank as well. israeli prime minister is trying to rouse support for international recognition of jerusalem as the capital of his country but without much luck so far we get live reaction on this issue after the break. here's what people have been saying about rejected a night with the senate is full on awesome the only show i go out of my way to launch you know what it is that really packs a punch to sleep yampa is the john oliver of harvey americans do the same we are apparently better than blues nothing better to see the people you've never heard of
1:12 pm
love redacted the night my president of the world bank hate. me. send us an e-mail. seems wrong why don't we all just don't call. me. yet to stamp out this thing comes out to. engage me because the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. welcome back british newspaper the times has thrown some accusations at this network regarding our coverage of the u.k.'s grunfeld tower tragedy in its article
1:13 pm
the times accuses r.t. of attempting to ignite a class war in britain with its coverage of the tragic event to also accuse this channel of misreporting that ten million pounds have been spent on cloudy so as to make the building less of an eyesore for rich residents nearby on top of that the time says that we should have made clear that one of our guests lisa mackenzie as a research fellow at the london school of economics is also an activist for the anarchist group class war and finally r.t. host as she returns the a mix guys are accused of being too critical of the authorities or covering the ground for tower tragedy as well as of indulging in conspiracy theories grenfell tower fire took place in june this year it claimed the lives of seventy one people the building of being on fire for sixty hours before it was extinguished a tragedy sparked widespread outrage in pretty society with many angry perceived failings by the local authorities earlier we spoke to r.t. sputnik host former british m.p.
1:14 pm
george galloway he called the article and piracy. the very idea of the disaster in which seventy one at least seventy one poor people men women and children were burned to death as a result of the failure of the landlord which is the richest bar in england the royal bara of kensington and chelsea failing to make proper safety provision for them and cladding they are building in austin i'm not making that up the cladding was made of arsenic which poisoned those who were not actually burned to death the idea that british and god this is the responsibility of our feet and the russians is beyond offensive it is obscene and i live work in the
1:15 pm
area around ground felt our i have to look at every day i can still smell it every day i'm a school governor in a school well there are children who have still not been really house six months after this in found on the idea that we're all angry because the russians told us to be angry is i say beyond of tents it is positively obscene. news just in here on r.t. israel has attacked a mass positions in the gaza strip that's after the palestinian militants reportedly fired at least one rocket targeting i.d.f. positions is the latest violence in the wake of donald trump's announcement that the u.s. would recognize jerusalem as israel's capital the move has sparked
1:16 pm
a wave of anger across the region and indeed around the world meanwhile israeli prime minister binyamin netanyahu is continuing his european trip where he's trying to rouse support for donald trump's move he's now in brussels where he was met by a protest against times decision and earlier during the first leg of his trip a pro palestinian rally took place in paris just prior to his arrival. israeli prime ministers already met the french president and the e.u. foreign policy chief with top european politicians making it clear that they don't welcome trump's decision 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 so i think the sooner the problem is come to grips with israel with. the sooner we will move towards peace the only realistic solution to the conflict between israel and palestine is based on two states which will sell
1:17 pm
them as the capital of both the state of this one and the state of palestine along the sixty seven line or. more. countries will move the embassy's to jerusalem. as through swim israel's work up little britain's prime minister condemned trumps decision isn't helpful saying she disagreed with the move germany's foreign minister expressed fears it could worsen the israeli palestinian conflict. ok let's discuss this issue now i'm joined live on the line by a stuff about a good he's the leader of the palestinian national initiative and also europe who's a retired israeli ambassador good evening to you both gentlemen feel free to discuss amongst yourselves as well i'd like to start by asking you your of the east foreign policy chief today told netanyahu europe wouldn't be following trump's example does this suggest that e.u. israeli relationship will now deteriorate all of this just be forgotten in the
1:18 pm
short term. well the only thing it means is that the europeans as expected as expected are determined to learn from past mistakes by repeating rather than avoiding them the fact is that stalling the american decision to relocate the embassy to jerusalem for the last twenty two years since congress passed the law all of the relocation of the embassy to jerusalem that stalling did that not bring peace closer it only intensified the palestinian hate education it exacerbated palestinian terrorism and that perception and rightly so has been in the middle east and outside the middle east that the us gives in to terror threats to pressure and effect at allows arab veto over each
1:19 pm
spall d.c. this is not the way that any country should conduct its foreign policy and certainly not a superpower like the united states and equally equally egregious has been the fact that not relocating the embassy to jerusalem forced the arabs to outflank the us from the radical side namely if the us does not recognize jerusalem as israel's capital well the arabs have to up the us by presenting even more macsyma least more radical position and that certainly has made the progress of peace and impossibility didn't prove he's in the pudding that's given stuff a chance to respond go ahead. i think. most of it will do is
1:20 pm
absolutely. since he's. just repeating propaganda. what we are actually suffering from is designed instead of as against palestinians since nineteen forty eight that has led to now the longest occupation in modern history and it is now complicated by the creation of the worst system of apartheid in the whole. system for providing the would it is the united states and israel understood it and you do it together against one hundred fifty one countries of the with israel and the united states are easily it in their position to declare jerusalem as a cover to live as simply because you cannot allow an extinguisher to do this is of a relation of international law what the united states has done is to make itself participant by relating to international law in committing a crime and they would have to pay
1:21 pm
a price for that that's why they are isolated i think the palestinian struggle for freedom the palestinian struggle for real peace will continue this decision of mr prompted not affect and would not affect the. legal or international position of it was an ok i just want to interject here if i may miss stuff i want to hear what. the u.s. ambassador to the u.n. nikki haley had to say on this i should have a quick listen to nikki haley. when you recognize the truth when both parties recognize reality peace comes we are living in the reality that jordan some is the capital of israel. you're of nikki haley says her reality jerusalem is the capital but most people on the planet the vast majority of people on the planet that isn't that reality. their reality is with all due respect that jerusalem has been the capital of the jewish people more recently the jewish state
1:22 pm
for over three thousand years king david is we have no you know how many. how can you. this is for the sophistication of history kind of to kind of fun to point out a lot of it is that any existing are you are you going. person two thousand this has got to. finish his point please. ok ok let anyone who took history one or one knows that they read was the one who initiated jerusalem as the capital of the jewish people over three thousand years ago anyone who studies religion knows that the koran does not mention jerusalem even once even ones when we talk about
1:23 pm
most people of the locks and we're going to. go with you let me speak if you like was that he would lead us to that if it is that's fine would you. want to speak and would i do like what i did that if it was what i would want to. know i'd be in a secure in the question and i would look in on it's ok when it come when it comes when it comes to those. talks about isolation that palestinians have been isolated in the arab world the fact is that the palestinians have been showered by arab talk but never never by arab walk and the question is why is that and their response is very clear and then i'm going to have thoughts that mahmoud abbas mahmoud abbas and i had to flee egypt for subversion and terrorism in one thousand six to six mahmoud abbas and i had to flee syria for some
1:24 pm
version and terrorize the police through the night again to separate them just just because we haven't got too much time left and i want to give mark wood a chance the. chance to respond to what you had to say the mustapha go ahead. i'm really sorry for this level of discussion because it's full of lies and misrepresentation but i'm not going to answer that the basic fact is that israel is an occupying power gentlemen who killed by most of russia during the second world war that did not mean that countries would recognize the occupation because it's a fact now that is occupied france that did not mean that we would recognize the occupation of france because it's a fact as much as you lose a limb cannot be that denies there's a capital of israel because if you do the limbs okupe by israel and that's a violation of international law i don't know how why they are feeling so happy
1:25 pm
when one hundred fifty one countries of the world are saying to them you are wrong and this is going to complicate the situation and this is going to make the future of worthless to news and israel is much worse ok i'll have to end it right there i just thought i just missed half of what we are now and our family and israel isn't doing that is simply a big mistake and stuff much appreciated mustapha barghouti leader of the palestinian national initiative my other guest you're a retired israeli ambassador thank you gentlemen. thank you and that is all we have time for see you at the top of your. sex drives are financial survival does. when customers go by the reduced applies. in elf well reducing our. cut that's undercutting but what's good for market bucket for the global economy.

1:30 pm
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 but elsewhere in the world so why do you think they are going to get resources for that where well that's the point since they don't have any oil and gold. have less resources but you don't need much resources to carry out a terrorist attack why you don't need that much resources to carry out a terrorist attack but you do need resources to keep an organization together you have to feed the people yes but i think they will have their cells or even people who are not really part of the organization are willing to carry out attacks on their own or suffer.
