the suspect is arrested in new york called ation injuring three people. and the israeli prime minister is in europe seeking support for donald trump running. out international live from our moscow studio with me and welcome to the program new york has now really avoided a deadly terrorist attack police have detained one suspect two along with three other people sustained non life threatening injuries in an explosion at the city's main bus terminal the state governor says the man was influenced by extremist groups including islamic state. i would say influenced by i don't like the condemnation of the word inspired but influenced by these groups here you can see what's believed to be the moment of the explosion we can't verify the authenticity of the video and you can see a flash followed by a cloud of white smoke and people fleeing as the smoke clears one person is seen lying on the ground caleb maupin reports from the scene of the attack. well we're

here on eighth avenue and the city is breathing a sigh of relief in the aftermath of an explosion in the subways now rush hour in new york city is quite a big deal monday morning people are pouring in crowded subway trains and there appears to have been a blast and now it's being called a terrorist attack or an attempted terrorist attack the attacker has been identified as a twenty seven year old male details are beginning to surface and at the moment the city is breathing a sigh of relief now eight avenue is now open up for traffic and the incident took place very close to the port authority building now the port authority building is the main bus terminal for manhattan people coming in from new jersey commuter buses as well as buses from around the country coming in on greyhound all come into the port authority building and that building was shut down in the aftermath of the blast there was reports of

a stampede in fear of people running not knowing what was happening but at the moment it appears that there are no fatalities only injuries in these injuries are non-life threatening so a lot of questions are being asked people are wondering how safe things are in the morning rush hour as you see crowds and crowds of people piled into subway trains trying to get into manhattan people are asking about safety here in new york city police department is on the scene there helicopters have been flying above there are also a fire department vehicles around we understand that the f.b.i.'s joint terrorism task force is investigating this this is being treated as a terrorist incident here in new york city but at the moment the suspect is in custody and there are no fe tallaght ease. placed have identified the suspect as twenty seven year old the law he had strapped a no tech explosive device to his body would be entertained when it went to. just a month ago the city was hit by its deadliest attack since nine eleven.

i live mr say probably been planning this for a number of weeks he did this in the name of isis. who did a state senator richard black believes that it's inevitable that countries with open borders become targets for attacks. to some extent people are just accepting the fact that we live in a world of terror we never had terrorist attacks in the 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 it's not happening in your own

everywhere that opens its borders and allows people. who who arrive with with they often with religious belief that they have to sway to be inhabitants of the country inevitable that you're going to have to we have very radical mosques that function in this country and who are in europe and they literally preach hate and they say look go out there you know what 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 a religious conversion later on and if they go to one of these bad mosques then then the next thing that you have is a suicide bomber. there as the president has currently on

a middle east toll which on monday saw him visit three countries in syria egypt. not gas death was falling pitons talks with the president this was the meeting between that to me of putin and president edouard to bush that the relations ties between the two countries are getting stronger every day they also discussed a whole host of issues syria of course was right up there they said that progress is being made on the ground that of course those words are being echoed by actual events of the ground the syrian civil war is entering its final stages but there is at it. thing here recurring it seems to with incidents that keeps on happening in the middle east when one conflict appears to be dying down in this case we're referring to syria another conflict in the avidly erupts in this case where referring to the united states recognizing jerusalem as the capital of israel.

both russia and turkey think that the us administration's decision to recognize jerusalem as israel's capital and move the american embassy that doesn't help progress in the middle east process on the contrary it destabilizes the difficult situation in the region in fact it could ruin the peace process altogether. denouncements and condemnation have come in hot and heavy from around the world have been protests worldwide globally and the specially in palestine in israel that palestinians are going out of the streets to voice their displeasure that the feeling of hurt that they're experiencing a feeling of betrayal president had once said that four palestinians have been killed two thousand people injured by the by the israel's israeli security services and this is just the beginning stages of the one was also very harsh in what he had

to say he said that israel is using the situation to crack down on gas at the crack down on hamas will palestinians who also said that this is a crime what is happening and cannot be ignored by the international community in. the american decision to relocate these really capice a lead to huge wave of criticism for protestors against this decision were killed by israeli soldiers thousand injured israel is. on the flames it sees in this wave of protests to oppress palestinians i'm not used to receiving. lectures. about morality from a leader who bombs kurdish villagers in his native turkey. international sanctions. with so much going on the timing of this visit

was also rather interesting because it had been planned well in advance but you know there's so many events to be taking place at this time and me a putin and president did want to meet and to discuss them to central players in middle eastern affairs well that's a fortunate coincidence and wraps up quite the top of blood to me of putin from egypt syria turkey and then back to russia in one day earlier on monday the russian president also made a stop in syria at a russian air base there hanna russia had started to pull its troops out of the country as i still had been defeated according to russia's defense ministry twenty three aircraft and two helicopters were taken out of syria as well as military police units a day mining center and a hospital here's a look back at rise and fall. islamic state a group whose name has become a synonym for bombings kidnappings beheadings and tara.

was. the group emerged in the early to thousands in iraq as a salih the jihadist militant group and came to prominence in two thousand and three after the american invasion however back then the organization was too weak to terrorize the world but by two thousand and fourteen i saw

a grown strong enough to proclaim itself a caliphate a terrorist state with its own currency laws and vast territory both in syria and in iraq that's when the us pledge to crush it i can announce that america will lead a broad coalition to roll back this terrorist threat. our ject it is clear we will degrade and ultimately destroy. the small syrian town of kabbani was the first major loss for i saw. myself back and managed to make further territorial gains but ones not quite as significant as in the early days in september two thousand and fifteen russia joined the fight rolling out its. large scale anti terror campaign in syria my. my. my.

six months after the start of the russian campaign another major symbolic loss for i saw the liberation of power myra the city where the terrorists filmed one of their most horrific executions. of. russian as strikes destroyed oil trucks and tankers draining the terrorists' cash source and while i suppose money was burning the u.s. led coalition together with the iraqis and the kurds attacked isis biggest city mosul. the battle for mosul turned out to be a long one waged over nine months and victory came at a tremendous cost turning a city with two million inhabitants into rubble.

after the liberation of mosul the coalition shifted its focus on syria backing its kurdish allies in their push against isis self-proclaimed capital raca in october two thousand and seventeen the city was completely liberated. was. the final nail in the caliphates coffin was the liberation of their is all the syrian city which i saw besieged for three years. after the loss of their result there was not much of a state left for i saw they suffer defeat after defeat been pushed from all sides

and all parties u.s. and russian air strikes sads and iraqi forces kurdish militias and hezbollah. the israeli military has bombed hamas positions in gaza that story animal still to come . plenty. plenty plenty. plenty of. little.

lego warhawk still in you on the idea that dropping bombs brings police to the chickenhawk forcing you to fight the battles they don't believe you saw spreading tell you that plenty gossip and tabloids by files a little more news today. about telling me you are not cool enough to buy their products little. things all the hawks that we along with our audience will walk or current. welcome back to the program israeli tanks have bombarded hamas military positions in gaza according to the i.d.f. the strikes were in retaliation to rocket fire tensions of flattops in stone times not is meant that the u.s. would recognize joe islam as israel's capital the main spot a wave of anger in gaza on monday.

on. sunday hundreds of anti trump demonstrators also rallied near the u.s. embassy in beirut lebanese security forces fired tear gas and water cannon into the crowd and we discuss the situation with mr barghouti from the palestinian national initiative and you're on at enjoy retirement israeli ambassador. stalling the american decision to relocate the embassy to jerusalem for the last twenty three years since congress passed the law of the relocation of the embassy to jerusalem that stalling did the old bring peace closer it only intensified the palestinian

education exacerbated palestinian terrorism and what dumbass that it will do is absolute nonsense he doesn't make sense he's just repeating propaganda. what we are actually suffering from is the zionist that it is against palestinians is that in forty eight but that has little if the glooms even now the longest occupation in modern history the reality is with all due respect that jerusalem has been the capital of the jewish. more recently of the jewish state for over three thousand years king david is we have no matter how many. hold you would you let in his son in law or innocent seventy years or how can you meet thousands of years this is for the sophistication of history anyone who took or took his story one or one knows that king david was there 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 once i'm really sorry for this level of discussion because it's full of lies and misrepresentations but i'm not going to answer that the basic fact is that israel is and will keep buying power gen emanuel could buy most of fresh air during the second world would that did not mean that countries would recognize that will keep patient because it's a fact. and that's is occupied france that did not mean that people who did a good night of the completion of france because it's a fact as much as you lose a limb cannot be to denies that the capital of israel because if you do that it was ok abide by israel and that's a violation of international law. the wave of protests by donald trump's decision

to recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel has now reached belgium pro palestinian activists took to the streets of brussels to show their discontent the demonstration came during the israeli prime minister's visit to the capital artie's alycia child cannot reports comes decision on jerusalem is clearly continuing to stir up trouble especially as israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu comes now to visit europe first for talks with the french president mccaul as well as for talks with his e.u. colleagues pacifically e.u. foreign policy chief morgan really as well as european foreign ministers now he was met by protesters in belgium and france netanyahu expected it seems his european counterparts to follow in trump's footsteps he did expect some kind of support when it comes to this issue even having thrown around the word hypocrisy but we have seen that the e.u. foreign policy chief among greeny has basically indicated that netanyahu should

hold his horses when it comes to the issue of jerusalem saying that quote here he should keep his expectations for others we've seen quite a similar story unravel in paris with the french president michael ware. and there's something else we did talk about peace however it was quite clear that their vision of the path towards the east is completely different it's always been our capital in jerusalem has never been the couple of any other people so i think the sooner the problem students come to grips with this reality the sooner we will move towards peace and this is why i think president clinton announcement was stored and so important for peace and i expressed to prime minister netanyahu my disappointment of the u.s. president's declaration and explained that france sees it as a contrary to international law and as dangerous for peace because it doesn't seem so sure because of security for. and for these release themselves to be clear

netanyahu has not really received a lot of support on this issue from other leaders in europe along them of course german chancellor angela merkel here in the u.k. british prime minister to resign may has also made it quite clear that this is not an idea that is very popular here and that both merkel of course and me have made it clear that they don't think this announcement is going to be good in terms of the decades long attempts to try to come to some kind of viable solution to these really palestinian question now here in london we've also seen the metropolitan police as well as emergency services conduct some kind of training for the first time in a foreign embassy and this was an israeli embassy they were they were basically training and preparation for a chemical attack they were saying that this was has nothing to do with the latest developments when it comes to jerusalem and also in europe really passions have been flying when it comes to this issue left and right there been several instances

for one we've seen in sweden a couple hundred protesters come out on the streets with anti israeli messages we've seen in another attack took place at a really restaurant by a man carrying a palestinian flag really other examples as well so it's clear that this is an issue and this announcement from trump has so far really just stirred a lot of trouble. the u.s. ambassador to the u.n. reacted to the wave of criticism by doubling down insisting that america's view simply reflects the way the world is when you recognize the truth when both parties recognize reality peace comes we are living in the reality that jerusalem is the capital of israel. president terms announcement last week was odds with the rest of the united nations in late november un members voted overwhelmingly to reject truce from status as the capital of israel and last wednesday the secretary general stressed that there is no alternative to

a two state solution well we're going to discuss this further now with our guest arvin vol vice chairman of the libertarian national committee welcome to the program marvin. nikki haley she said that in reality jerusalem is the capital of israel do you think that view is supported by what's happening on the ground and if you don't support the view why not. so what we have over here is a direct reflection of the aggressive overreach of u.s. foreign policy the fact is it should make any difference at all what the u.s. thinks is the capital should make any difference at all where the u.s. puts its embassy but u.s. foreign policy has insisted on getting involved in civil wars and domestic conflicts of other nations so this really reflects that underlying fact that we are over involved in things that are just not of our business now this particular latest action by trump looks to me to be deliberately inflammatory with no real

good justification but the underlying fact is that it should matter less where starbucks puts a new restaurant then where the u.s. puts in to put its embassy there are then i just want to answer quickly this washington's position it's been overwhelmingly rejected at the united nations we've not seen that for a while if at all if one hundred fifty one to six voted couple of weeks ago could we see the u.s. do you think becoming increasingly isolated on key global issues. one example i suppose is the u.s. almost alone is rejecting the paris climate agreement we are seeing a lot of different factions forming only against it. the u.s. is a sovereign nation and the us should be able to set up whatever rules or opinions it once but it should do so in ways that don't infringe on what other countries are doing if the us wants to have its own environmental policy its own foreign policy

its own whatever policy that's fine but it has no business being involved with other countries the adult trump is not the president of israel the president of palestine or a president anywhere besides the us and his actions should not be able they should not even be able to have an influence in other countries now this isn't the first time that the us has decided to take a very unpopular position many of the recent actions in afghanistan and iraq has been opposed by the majority of countries us foreign policy has stopped caring about what's popular what makes sense what's moral what's at the core what's any of it's business and this is the latest in a long line of similar behavior that leads to stop the libertarian party is one of the only organizations that is trying to make this type of foreign policy and. then it looks like the list is just growing and growing doesn't it at times are going for the vice chair and that's an area national committee thanks very much for coming on to the program and as
