well u.s. officials insist recognizing jerusalem as israel's capital will bring the pace but now it's only brought riots clashes and arrests. the terror suspect has been inspired by islamic state is arrested in new york last walk to the central bus station injuring three people. hundreds of protesters clashed with police in catalonia after madrid orders the transfer tony artefacts to another spanish region in the wake of the independents.

and residents in a district of paris threatened to go on hunger strike it will follow it has failed to clear a makeshift migrant camp in their area. this is r.t. international coming to you live from moscow i'm kate partridge thank you for joining us. the west bank city of bethlehem has remained turbulent since donald trump's announcement last week that he was recognizing jerusalem as israel's capital protests have erupted this tuesday israeli police used tear gas against the demonstrators who threw stones in return the scenes you can see now a minor compared to what's been happening there in the last twenty four hours there's been yet more violence and injuries including the trenches in the west bank and the gaza strip.

god was never. the. ok. meanwhile the israeli army says it's hit back at hamas posts in gaza in retaliation for a rocket launch towards israel locals who described what happened. was there for eight years that this. was the best. they can still be here because i think trump was wrong this time he made a mess with israelis all might be true friends are careful we don't need him to say . or protests against chung's decision about jerusalem have found out across the globe one of the latest was in the chilean city of santiago where its palestinian community rallied in front of the u.s. embassy.

similar protests were seen in the lebanese capital beirut wanting to mishear demonstrators also marched demanding the resignation of the u.s. ambassador despite strong objection to trump's decision in the arab world and the u.s. ambassador to the u.n. students says the move will bring peace to the region. assesses only three. 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 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 your hope that this is a regrettable decision as the capital of israel you know. this decision gates of.

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 a speck courts to even. we are living in the reality that jerusalem is the capital of israel when both parties recognize reality peace comes repeating montrose 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 cruise 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 he died. 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 a shambles the main reason we went into iraq 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 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. well meanwhile israel's prime minister binyamin netanyahu has traveled to europe to try to get backing for that you plan however he didn't get quite what he wanted. and. they can. keep these expectations for others because from the european union member states sites this move will 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 has potentially been looking for now in a separate incident we have seen in london metropolitan police and emergency services had conducted training exercises for the first time in a foreign embassy and this was done involving the israeli 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 anti 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 discussed jerusalem decision with guests some of whom expressed concern that the move. what is absolutely clear is that trump's movie is an incredible provocation to what is an incredibly unstable situation as had a sort of a lid kept on it by. the pretense if you like of of the idea of a two state solution with the u.s. 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 whether the saudis the egyptians and the u.a.e. in particular can put pressure on the americans because those are the three main allies of the u.s. in the arab world so if they can professionally us i don't think they'll be too

many implications it's just something that the world would have to get. by the animosity towards that is the united states and shot themselves in the foot everything they do at the moment backfires. they're losing ground diplomacy they're no longer the effective players of the middle east so very few countries in the region seriously don't see them as a. partner in peace but rather they see someone a president or a government that's very reckless and cannot be worked with whether it be the arab israeli peace process or in other conflicts like syria in iraq. 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 iaido. but was it

was i this time the issue is phony relics seized by spanish also which is that inflaming second to sentiments medieval artefacts from a convent in another spanish province that will lead to catalonia sparking discontent. that was frightening. the. butler but like leap of 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 time the year what is happening in the museum in the that has nothing to do with our knitting with justice it is the spanish government and the authorities american that came to the museum look at one. last. leak was. that we've already seen the marks against democracy in human rights today we also saw them ignore cultural. people in the pose or in the view of these artifacts with perhaps greater actual value than what they have because they speak to a larger set of friendships between the two parties. authority. area 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 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 and you can see a flash followed by a ton of white smoke and people fleeing it took place below the port or started terminal said to be the busiest bus in the world of the suspect had a homemade pipe bomb attached to his body. when we hear of an attack on the subway is reportedly unsettling. but let's be also we know this was an attempted terrorist attack. thank god the perpetrator did not achieve its ultimate goals.

well the explosion was more powerful enough to blast our truck know if it was in the situation could have been far more serious the bombing is the second attack in the city in just six weeks at the end of october a man pulled out a truck along the pedestrian fire finance happened killing eight people i just feel like i'm very scared. it's got to start things like this happens i never did this but this happens often and that's what the story is i think you just want to live with it 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. where new york police identified the suspect as twenty seven year old a coyote emigrated from bangladesh through a visa program for people with relatives who are u.s. citizens or was reportedly radicalized online and inspired by eisel christmas

attacks in europe will donald trump's use the attack to promote his immigration policies saying the current system allows dangerous people into the country he also slammed the so-called family chain migration which the suspect used to enter the u.s. we discussed the attack with terrorism expert doug weeks who believes the trend of lone wolf strikes are here to stay. straying. are happening with increased frequency. and certainly from what we've seen in europe. are perhaps not directly. by us but certainly have an affiliation. with a very. rocky in syria it's not surprising i think. that works. security. things are going

your problem will continue for some time. russian athletes who are willing to take part in the upcoming winter games as neutrals will have the full support of the russian olympic committee the decision comes after the olympic chiefs banned russia from the tournament for alleged state sponsored doping well arty's nichiren joins me now with the details well hi there nick you so it looks like russia's not going to boycott the games there that's right in the last hour or so the russian olympic committee revealed a unanimous decision to grant their blessing to any athlete still wanting to compete in the olympic games their winter olympic games which will be held in less than two months as you know we can chang south korea they will be competing as neutrals no russian flags and russian symbols no russian anthem and effectively no team rush there will be referred to as ours or olympic athletes from russia now they are mostly said that there are still details that need to be ironed out with the international olympic committee concerning things that you know what uniform

the russian team will be wearing they also said that they reached this decision after hearing the thoughts and concerns of each individual involved in the olympic team from the coaches to the athletes and most of them said you know despite everything they've been through over them over recent months they still want the chance to live out their dream here's one of those athletes. i mean that the. commentators won't be saying that an athlete is from the international olympic committee that is competing under the international olympic committee that's wrong anyway they will say 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 and our people then leaving 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 the president vladimir putin also gave his blessing to any athlete still wanting to compete is that that russia fully supports them well how will the

olympic officials decide who to invite well i'm sorry to say kate is not going to be clear sailing for these athletes who still want to take part in the games in february they still have to be officially invited by the international olympic committee there's a number of points they have to comply with possibly even sitting more don't think tests as well and the president of the arias alexander as you call it also raise concerns that there may be even bigger roadblocks to come. for one of the main issues of concern is whether leading athletes will get an invitation to the olympics so it won't just be those with less chance of winning medals that go with the leading athletes who have to remain at home that would be very strange and surprising but i hope that the international olympic committee is interested in the strongest russian athletes are taking part of the gate. now just to recap how we got to this point the decision to ban russian athletes followed an investigation by an i.o.c. backed commission headed by the former head of the swiss department of sport also the former president of the country samuel schmitt and that report actually

highlighted reasonable doubt that any of the suggestions that any knowledge of possible doping in russia went any higher than the national sports association take a listen. 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 of 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 so of course there are bystanders claiming that this whole decision is politicized as also people claiming that the whole investigation lacks transparency but surely no one can deny the courage that in the guts that these athletes have to still be standing after everything they've been through i think about the athletes from other countries who've been so focused on their training when the the russian team have had to go through this emotional

rollercoaster in this they're willing to to make it to pyong chang no matter what and also haven't heard what kind of reception awaits them when they make it if they make it to play on china you know how would they be treated by the other athletes from other countries how will the crowds and the viewers around the world respond if they do win a medal and it's going to be really difficult to watch if they do win a medal they have to stand on the podium and be denied the right of listening to their national anthem is going to be really difficult viewing and also the clock is ticking you know a matter of weeks to go and that one step closer to the games but still so many hurdles yet to clear in so short time to go but still a long way to go marty and karen thank you. well some resumes all starting to go on hunger strike if you all sorts has done to a migrant camp in the capital when you and that's after the break.

our. local blogs tell you on the idea that dropping bombs brings peace to the chickenhawk forcing you to fight the battles they're going. to do socks try to tell you that we got the public by file. doesn't tell you that you are not cool enough to buy their product. alcohol that we along with all you want.

welcome back locals living in a district of paris have written an open letter to president micro demanding a makeshift migrant camp be cleared from their area that's threatening to go on hunger strike if the situation's not dealt with. i don't think that this should all get 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 distance system to help people return to the contras norm that this is not happening by the end of this year a group of us will go on a hunger strike. all migrants have been descending on the tenth district so paris where an asylum centers like hated they've been hanging around on the streets while they wait for their applications to be processed that's where the procedure proving

lengthy don't count seems fine began to spoil. while we gauge the opinion of the migrants volunteer aid workers and locals. the one i'm in don't have the other because look look at me the stones more than forty five days i'm here but they don't have us sometime don't go don't have to be just and sometime i don't have language stick gone digital again they would go up you would have nudism and if you don't look up they would use bring i don't know much text a man would come here every week summer and winter to bring food and not some to the homeless and with the influx of migrants there are more of them now the government is doing nothing well first year of all in tears to receive nothing from the government are going to do we had to build this fence to protect our communal carpark from all these people urinating this obviously cost money it was doing the solution we could come up with but it's not sufficient well 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 but more so it is moved in to clear them out resulting in fun clashes. well president microsoft's house responded to the open letter saying well thought is are aware of the difficult situation in the district but it's up to the interior ministry to find a solution political analyst nicol america bitch says the government's not learning from past mistakes we've got over two hundred thousand migrants coming into france interesting france a time to come over and was there right in france well there's no strategy to greet them to integrate them to church to shelter them and what happens is you see a couple months ago on the beaches of kauai now that 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 forty thousand migrants have been sleeping in makeshift facilities that you're needing on the

streets. creating havoc and of course from that stance crime the local residents are very unhappy at the same time the french authorities are doing if you can. the situation continue as before tally so this is a very sad story. russia's federal security service has eliminated a terrorist cell run and funded by islamic state the group had planned attacks for the new year celebrations as well as the presidential elections next march artie's medina caution of a has more. russia's federal security service has four world the plot of a terrorist group which planned attacks including suicide bombings there around new year celebrations and also targeting presidential elections in march next here now the bombings were planned by members of an isis affiliated group which was from central asia and europe in the operation the security services confiscated

ratings and salyut station. tis the season for misreporting hawk watchers c.n.n. a.b.c. c.b.s. and others came under serious fire from fellow journalists and news media watchdogs after a series of russia gate based stories implicating president trump and his band of cronies in one form of skullduggery or another were found to be patently false most egregious was our good friends at c.n.n. one friday could barely contain their neo liberal con delight in reporting that according to reliable sources an individual fronting for wiki leaks had emailed the trump campaign a secret offer giving them access to the allegedly hacked d.n.c.

emails before they were going to be released to the public. and because wiki leaks could only have gotten those d.n.c. e-mails from russia you could practically hear the champagne pop and c.n.n. president jeff zucker's office that day. this was finally this was finally the smoking gun that blitzer tapper and the rest of been pining boars since trump beat hillary clinton in the deep state declare of the that that could only only only only be ructions fault if you if you haven't heard by now it appears that cnn's reliable sources aren't all that reliable and apparently misread the dates on the e-mail yes the collusion e-mail actually came after wiki leaks release the b. and c. emails to the public in the person who sent the links appears to be just some random citizen not even remotely connected.
