it was. going to. be. a terrorist act as rested in new york after an explosion rocked a central bus station injuring three people. brought to me visits turkey during his middle east announces the withdrawal of russian troops from syria. and the israeli prime minister is in europe seeking support for donald trump's recognition of jerusalem as israel's capital but the e.u. foreign policy chief makes it clear brussels will not follow suit.

he watching out international live from almost has to do with me in a day or two to welcome to the program new york has an hourly avoided a deadly terrorist attack police have detained one suspect who 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 connotation of the word inspired but influenced by these groups. ok you can see once believed to be the moment of the explosion we can verify the authenticity of the thing to say a flash followed by a cloud of white smoke and people fleeing as the smoke clears one person is seen lying on the ground. 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 faith tallaght ease. twenty seven year old. he had strapped a low tech explosive device to his body which badly injured him when it went off. just a month ago the city was hit by its deadliest attack since nine eleven. i. was caught up.

just to say pop had been planning this for a number of weeks he did this in the name of i said. that in a state senator said black believes that it's in love that simple that country is for that and borders become targets 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 are wrong have with with they often with religious belief that they have to be inhabitants of the country it inevitable that you're going to have to we have very radical mosques that function in this country and who are in the wrong and they literally preach hate and they say look go out there 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 a religious conversion later on and if they go to one of these bad mosques then then the next thing that you have to say as a suicide bomber. the russian president is currently on a middle east. three countries. spying

putin's talks with the turkish president this was the eight meeting between vladimir putin and president edouard to boost the relations ties between the two countries are getting stronger every day they also discuss the whole hoops the issue of syria of course was right up there they said that progress is being made on the ground and of course those words are being echoed by actual events on the ground the syrian civil war is entering its final stages but there is an interesting thing here recurring it seems to win since that keeps on happening in the middle east when one conflict appears to be dying down in this case we are referring to syria another conflict in never to be erupts in this case where referring to the united states recognizing jerusalem as the capital of israel. both russia and turkey think that the u.s. 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 with the feeling of hurt that they're experiencing a feeling of betrayal president there do and 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 dawn was also very harsh in what he had to say he said that israel is use. in this situation to crack down on gas or to crack down on how muscle palestinians who also said that this is

a crime what is happening and cannot be ignored by the international community. the american decision to relocate these really capita led to a huge wave of criticism for protesters against this decision were killed by israeli soldiers thousand injured israel is. on the flames it sees in this wave of protests across palestinians i'm not used to receiving. lectures. about morality from. kurdish villagers in his native to. international sanctions and us. 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 of them to be taking place at this time and me putin and

president 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. early on monday the russian president also made a stop in syria at a russian air base that russia has started to pull its troops out of the country as i saw it according to russia's defense ministry twenty three aircraft and two helicopters were taken out of syria as well as military police units at the mining center and a hospital in the back at times of the rice arise and for. 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 solid 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. i still fought 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 it's a. scale anti terror campaign in syria my. my . six months after the start of the russian campaign another major

symbolic loss for i saw the liberation of pound myra the city where the terrorists filmed one of their most horrific executions. russian air 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 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 resort the syrian city which i saw besieged for three years. and why. after the loss of their resort 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 they

israeli military has bombed hamas positions in gaza that story and more still to come. it is a messaging app first store of value second and a medium of exchange third as a messaging app this is the history of economics the history of money the history of trade the history of the evolution the d.n.a. and ourselves of our bodies suggest that bitcoin will be a lot higher because we as a species want to connect and it's monetization of our unconscious it's the monetization of our collective unconscious. here's what people have been saying about rejected in the us in the long haul the only show i go out of my way to launch you know what it is that really packs a punch. yampa is the john oliver of our three americans good to see we are

apparently better than nothing. to see people you've never heard of love jack tonight the president of the world bank will take. me seriously send us an e-mail. welcome to the program israeli tanks and warplanes have bombarded hamas military positions in gaza according to the i.d.f. the strikes were spawn's to an incoming missile which was incepted tensions have flared up since donald trump's announcement that the u.s. would recognize jerusalem as israel's capital the move sponsor a way to find in gaza on monday but god.

and on sunday hundreds of. demonstrators also ran a play at the u.s. embassy in beirut lebanese security forces fired tear gas and want to come in and into the crowd we discussed the situation with our group and from the palestinian national initiative and your act of triumph is for any. 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 that bring peace closer it only intensified the palestinian hate education exacerbated palestinian terrorism and what

dumbass it will do is absolute nonsense he doesn't make sense he's just repeating propaganda. what we had actually suffered from is the zionist that it is against palestinians is that if you forty eight that has little to. now the longest occupation in the world and here's the reality is with all due respect that jerusalem has been the capital of the jewish people more recently the jewish state for over three thousand years king david is we have no you know how many. of the. jewish you let in the sense of india how can you. be if this is for the sophistication of history anyone who took oto cares story one or one knows that king david was the one who initiated

jerusalem as the capital of the jewish people over three thousand years ago anyone who studies relief. no the koran does not mention jerusalem even once even ones i'm really sort of this level of discussion because it's full of lies. but i'm not going to answer. the basic fact is that. most of russia during the second world war that did not mean that companies would recognize that because it's a fact. that france did not mean the people who. because it's a fact as much as. the capital because if you do that. and that's a violation of international law. 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 trumps announcement last week was with the rest of the united nations in late november members voted one hundred fifty one to six to reject them status as the capital of israel and last wednesday the secretary general stressed that there is no alternative to a two state solution while we're going to discuss this issue further with therapist and political analyst gina loud and welcome to the program gina. we'll start with this is asian great to have you the decision by the u.s. seemingly already causing unrest in the middle east surely the trumpet ministration must have expected that. well as the wife of a former state senator from missouri i can tell you that you always know that about

half the people are going to agree with every decision and half the people are going to disagree with every decision but that's why leadership is so important in this particular arena especially and i think that not only citizens of the united states but i think citizens worldwide are glad to see leadership and decision making on some of these issues that have been so precarious and bizarre for so long . you know it's caused a lot of uproar in the international community and obviously in the middle east as the czech president. they've accused you of cowardice for refusing to recognize jerusalem as israel's capital. do you think he's got a point. you know it's i think it's not in the business of countries to judge what other countries say about a decision that has obviously been made by the united states president

a decision that most americans in fact support and as your new israel there demonstrated that is historically accurate as well as nick lee as nikki haley said the president is there the prime minister is there the supreme court is there historically the evidence is there it makes sense that jerusalem is the capital what about the timing the genie. promised to recognized him during his campaign and yet it's taken him almost a year why now do you think. well. you know what he's been busy he's gotten a lot done a look at all the things that have changed i mean the united states economy is just by all measures doing well i can't think of anything happening in the united states that's on a downward trend right now unemployment is down jobs are even places that traditionally you know blue collar americans working americans where they didn't have jobs those

jobs are isis is being defeated i mean they're this president has been very very busy and i think most of the people like myself who campaigned for him and supported him throughout the entire time he campaigned there glad to see him keeping his promises and they were realistic and knew that they couldn't all be kept within the first couple of weeks or months of his presidency so i think that they're probably just glad that he's keeping his promises because as you know with politicians that's not so normal they don't always keep their promises this president is. political analyst and for his great to have you on the program want to have your thoughts on this issue thanks great to be with you thank the wave of protests by donald trump's decision to recognize to resume as the cups of israel has now reached belgium pro palestinian activists into the streets of brussels to show that discontent demonstration came during the israeli prime minister's visit

to the e.u. council on alycia chokmah 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 to specifically e.u. foreign policy chief morgan renia 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 . 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 it's

only outward to talk about peace however it was quite clear that their vision of the path towards that he's completely different it's always been a couple 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 on the story 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 international law and as dangerous for peace because it doesn't seem so sure because of security for israel and for the israelis 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 reason 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 may 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 the israeli 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. 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. political activist and social justice campaigner george barr believes the change in u.s. policy could have a de stabilizing effect on the middle east what is absolutely clear is that trumps movies is an incredible provocation to what is an incredibly unstable situation as had a sort of kept on it by the pretense if you like of of the idea of a two state solution with the us as a broker of peace. but that i mean that is a more ridiculous claim than it has been for a very very long time and another thing that i've been saying for a while and along with many others is that the huge danger with donald trump is that when his when he's sort of national divide and rule politics begin to break down and his sort of national issues start to catch up with him there's

a huge danger that he'll start inflaming and provoking tensions across the world to distract from that national context and i think that's what we're seeing at the moment roundup of our top stories of the day don't forget to check us out on social media on facebook you tube and our web site that started dot com back in the top of the hour you stay with us.

along. the reject. so when you want to be president or injury or some want to breast. cancer what beatrice was what before three in the morning can't be good that i'm interested always in the waters of my. question. credit is one of the basic instruments to drive an economy but it can also lead to tragedy i did i took the how to style game big and made that the desk i came and it was not. many lives have been broken like access to the banks got into. big bank of. the bank but i didn't think of. the.
