well u.s. officials the recognition. will bring peace. a terror suspect. is arrested. three people. and hundreds of protesters clashed with police after madrid. in the wake of the. hunger strike failed to clear

a make shift. area. thanks so much for joining us here on international news putting together your headlines welcome to. the west bank city of bethlehem has seen almost no. last week it was recognizing jerusalem as israel's capital yet more protests have erupted today is already police using tear gas against demonstrators who threw stones in return for the scenes that you can see. compared to what's been happening there of the last twenty four hours as being yet more violence and more injuries including clashes in the west bank and the gaza strip.

was going through the. rubble. ok. meanwhile the israeli army says it's hit back at hamas posts in gaza in retaliation for a rocket launch towards israel locals describe what happened. three. years that this. was the best you can feel here. i think trump was wrong this time he made a mess with israelis all know that jerusalem is our capital we don't need him to say it protests against traumas jerusalem move found out across the globe one of the latest was in the chilean city of santiago where the palestinian community rallied in front of the u.s.

embassy. similar protest was also seen in the lebanese capital also in tunisia demonstrators marched demanding the resignation of the u.s. ambassador and despite strong objection to trump just such an voiced both in the arab world and beyond the u.s. ambassador to the u.n. still insists that this move will bring peace to the preacher. and investigates. u.s. leaders seem to believe that if you repeat something over and over again it becomes the truth take a listen to nikki haley the u.s. ambassador to the united nations defending trump's recent jerusalem move which caused the violence and chaos throughout the region we are living in the reality that jerusalem is the capital of israel clearly disagree with you this is you. this is a regrettable decision as the capital of israel. this decision gate something. yes

it's the right thing to do but. it is absolutely the right thing to do jerusalem is the capital of israel these decisions i'm hopeful to the prospects for peace in the region the announcement of the potential to send spec puts to even darker times we are living in the reality that jerusalem is the capital of israel when both parties recognize reality peace comes repeating mantras happens to be a thing in washington d.c. especially when it comes to controversial foreign policy decisions take a listen to the no regime change just a no fly zone montra that we heard regarding the libyan intervention the security council has responded to the libyan people's cry for help this council's purpose is clear. to protect innocent civilians the task that i assigned our

forces. to protect the libyan people from immediate danger broadening our military mission to include regime change would be a mistake pretty soon nato korea's missiles were flying in order to back up fighters armed by western countries then eventually the country's leader moammar gadhafi was brutally executed here's hillary clinton retelling her version of the events yes we came we saw that he died there and then there was that whole weapons of mass destruction routine performed at the united nations by call and powell even brought props less than a teaspoon full of dry anthrax in an envoy shot down the united states senate in the fall of two thousand and one iraq declared eighty five hundred liters of anthrax we have no ambition in iraq except to remove a threat so the weapons of mass destruction weren't actually there and now iraq was left in shambles the main reason we went and you're right it's

a time was we thought he had weapons of mass destruction turns out he didn't well bush was forced to admit that he was wrong about iraq but nikki haley is certain there will be no retractions about jerusalem it will move the peace process for now come back and tell you i told you so now if any of that peace nikki haley is promising ever shows up it's certainly going to make people across the globe quite delighted but until then it looks like simply saying things doesn't make them so caleb oppen r.t. new york israel's prime minister travel to europe to try and get e.u. backing for his jerusalem plan however he didn't quite get what he wanted. and. they can. keep these expectations for others because from the european union member states sites this move would not come other european leaders such as german chancellor angela merkel as well as british prime minister to resign may have made it clear that they don't support this latest decision that trump had

taken seeing it as something that could potentially reverse decades of foreign policy attempts from so many involved in this process around the world and it's clear that netanyahu has had no luck getting the support that he had potentially been looking for now in a separate incident we have seen in london metropolitan police and emergency services had conducted a training exercises for the first time in a foreign embassy and this was done involving these really embassy in london these exercises were deemed to be in preparation for a potential chemical attack although officials did make it clear that this was not something that had to do with these latest developments on jerusalem and other episodes around europe really passions flying when it comes to the issue of jerusalem we've seen a couple of hundred of protesters come out in sweden chanting is really slogans we

also know that in the netherlands there was and an attack carried out on a is really restaurant so really certainly this latest decision from trump has so far been stirring more trouble than anything else. we discuss the ongoing crisis with the status of jerusalem with mostafa about who he from the palestinian national initiative and retired israeli ambassador yoram enjoy stalling the american decision to relocate the embassy to jerusalem for the last twenty two 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 we had actually suffered for them is the zionist that it is against palestinians is nineteen forty eight that has led to. now the longest occupation in modern history the reality

is with all due respect that jerusalem has been the capital of the jewish people more recently of the jewish state for over three thousand years the whole jewish state did not last more than seventy years how can you make it three thousand years this is for the sufficient of history anyone who studies religion knows that the koran does not mention jerusalem even once even once the basic fact is that is that it is a. gentleman he will keep by most of what i shall do to the second with the word that did not mean that companies would get a good night is that you patient because it's a fact. nazis my friends that did not mean that people who cannot use the completion of france because it's a fact as much as you lose a limb cannot be to denies that the competent is it because you do that it is ok.

but i just a month after its unsuccessful move for independence the spanish region of catalonia has once again been struck by violence hundreds of protesters scuffled with police in the city of. but this time it's relics seized up by spanish authorities that are again inflaming separatist sentiments medieval confident frogs from another spanish province that would load into catalonia and now sparking discontent. because there was zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero on the central government has in effect basically ended the litigation they said we have

the power now and we're going to end this issue once and for all the. of the yard. you know this was on the way here what is happening in the museum in the there is nothing to do with justice it is the spanish government and the authorities and the one that came looking at the moon was the. scope was no no we've already seen the marks against democracy in human rights today we also saw them ignore cultural values people in poser imbue these artifacts with perhaps greater actual value than what they have because they speak to a larger set of tensions between the two parties. oh

ah. yes. terry an approach on top of all the other authoritarian approaches that the catalogs have been subject to that makes this particular case so important. new york has suffered an attempted terrorist attack and police have detained one suspect who along with three other people sustained non-life threatening injuries in an explosion close to times square the state governor says the man was influenced by extremist groups including islamic state surveillance cameras captured the moments before and after the blast which happened in an underground passageway during the morning commute kind of tough to check it out here but there's a flash followed by a cloud of white smoke and then people fleeing it took place below the port authority terminal said to be the busiest bus in the world the suspect had

a homemade pipe bomb attached to his body when we hear of an attack in the subway it's probably unsettling. and let's be also clear this was an attempted terrorist attack. thank god the perpetrator did not. commit goals the explosion was not powerful enough to blast out any shrapnel if it had been then the situation could have proven far more serious the bombing is the second attack on the city in just six weeks at the end of october a man plowed a truck along a pedestrian path in manhattan killing eight people. i feel like. i have been every day before this happened. i think you just run through it but i think it's kind of normal for these times were particularly in new york city

which is targeted many times and it's the new normal. new york police identified the suspect as twenty seven year old. he emigrated from bangladesh through a visa program for people with relatives who are u.s. citizens who are reportedly radicalized online and inspired by eisold christmas attacks in europe now the. trump has used the time to promote his immigration policies saying the current system allows dangerous people into the country and you also see the so-called family chain migration which the suspect used to enter america we discussed the attack with tara weeks who believes the trend of the wolf strikes is here to stay straying attacks are happening with increased frequency in the u.s. and certainly from what we've seen in europe. are perhaps not directly. directing by us but certainly have an affiliation

came down in terms of them sympathy with a very. rocking syria it's not surprising i think you may. networks either and smacking them on security. think that needs are going to probably continue to happen for some time in the future. while the attack brought midtown manhattan to a standstill not everyone was entirely focused on following the updates. the new york times report gives fascinating insight into president trusts t.v. viewing this paper says the president watches at least four hours of television a day and drinks twelve cans of diet coke and just you know you're standing by with breaking news so i may have to cut away from you.

another full story this time in the failing new york times that i've watched forty eight hours of television a day wrong. i seldom if ever watch c n n b c both of which i consider. is also international thanks for joining us here russian leaders who are willing to take part in the upcoming winter games neutrals will have the full support of the

russian olympic committee that assertion comes after the international olympic committee banned russia from the games for alleged state sponsored doping era now joining me live in the studio with more details on this good to see you niki so all the russian olympians going to take part yes they are in the last few minutes the russian olympic committee has announced that they made a unanimous decision to allow clean athletes to take part in the upcoming games in peace. chang which will be held in less than two months as we know in south korea they would of course be competing as neutral athletes as you said so no russian flags no russian symbols no anthems and essentially no team russia will be referred to as ours or olympic athletes from russia now they are is the also is that a lot of details don't need to be clarified with the international olympic committee including what kind of uniforms the athletes will be wearing and things like that they also is that they came to the decision after meeting and interviewing each individual involved in the russian olympic team from the coaches

to the athletes and the majority of them said that despite you know everything they've been through they still want to live out their dreams they still want to take part here's one of those athletes in their particular commentators won't be seeing that enough lead is from the international olympic committee and that is competing under the international olympic committee is a flag that's wrong anyway they will see that in the third came from russia so the name will be heard yes there won't be our uniform or our anthem but it will still be our russian medal our people competing for our country the main words are our country russia and these medals will anyway return to russia i wish our guys will do what no one expects us to do that is to win. and this decision comes less than a week after president putin gave his blessing to any athlete still wanting to take part in the games here's what he said. we certainly without any doubt we will not announce any blockade or prevent our athletes from competing if we want in a personal capacity. and we can't underestimate what an emotional roller coaster

these athletes have been through over the past few months so cute offer that to them for still wanting to take part of heaven knows what kind of reception awaits them when they get to pyongyang chang you know given all the bad press the team russia has got you know what how would they be received by the other athletes and you know the crowds of people around the world watching if they should win a medal when they stand on that podium and will they be booed you know there's lots of things that we have to consider that they're going to have to go through and also you can be hard to watch you know if they do win medals that they don't have to stand there and you know instead of having the russian national anthem they can have to have the olympics i'm so a lot of difficult times ahead for them but you know kudos for them for wanting to go through with it not just to recap our we got to this point the decision to ban russian athletes follows an investigation by the international olympic committee back commission headed by the former head of the swiss department of sport also the former president of the country samuel schmidt and that report highlighted reasonable doubt over suggestions that any knowledge of possible doping i went any

higher than the russian national sports association here it is 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 and this comes of course as you know bystanders have claimed that this whole decision has politicized that the whole investigation lacks transparency but for now let's just focus on you know the courage of these athletes who are willing to go ahead take part in these olympic games despite all of these roadblocks parties and here and thank you. the thank you for joining us here on r.t. international today russia's federal security service has eliminated a terrorist cell run and funded by islamic state media culture with details in the

a lot of practice so i can guarantee you that peter schmeichel will be on the best fall since my last will come on that story three. thousand zero zero zero zero zero . left left left more or less ok stuff that's really good. thanks for sharing you to stay with us here on r.t. locals living in a district of paris have written an open letter to president demanding a make shift a migrant camp be cleared from the area threatening to go on hunger strike if the situation is not dealt with. to do. this so to solve this problem we need to end the system of temporary camps for asylum seekers it is ruining our district and destroying the image of the right to asylum it should be transformed into

a distant system to help people return to the contras normally if this is not happening by the end of this year a group of us will go on a hunger strike these migrants have been descending on the tenth district of paris where an asylum center is located and they've been hanging around on the streets while they wait for the applications to be processed with the procedure proving lengthy attend a camp soon sprang up and began to spiral what we gave to the opinion of the migrants the volunteer aid workers and locals. the one i'm in don't help me out because look look at me as more than forty five days i'm here but didn't have some time in the door and i don't have food. and sometimes i don't have blankets stick. their work up you would have to nudism and if you don't wake up they will use spray and. then we come here every week summer and winter to bring food and not some to the homeless and with the influx migrants there are more of them now the government

is doing nothing well first year of and two years to receive nothing from the government i want to we had to build this fence to protect our communal carpark from all those people urinating this obviously cost money it was there any solution we could come up with but it's not sufficient over the past two years paris has seen a number of makeshift migrant camps take root before being demolished in a number of cases migrants put up resistance when the earth already has moved in to clear them out of course resulting in violent clashes. president micron's office has responded to the open letter saying all authorities are well aware of the difficult situation in the district but it's actually up to the interior ministry to try and find a solution and political analyst nicholas markovitch says the government has not learned from past mistakes we've got over two hundred thousand migrants coming into france teachers in france it's time to come over and was they arrive in france well there's no strategy to greet them integrate them. to shelter them and what happens

is you see a couple months ago on the beaches of kauai now this summer they're on the beaches of normandy and now they're on the streets of paris and this specific situation is that the small local residents say that over port t. thousand have been sleeping in makeshift facilities that you are needing on the streets. creating havoc and of course from that stance the local residents are very unhappy at the same time the french authorities are doing if you know they're just letting the situation continue as they did before charley so this is a never ending very bad story. russia's federal security service has eliminated a terror cell run and funded by islamic state the group planned attacks during the new year celebrations as well as the presidential elections from march of next year within a culture of our joining us live with details on what you know what do we know so
