well u.s. officials insist recognizing jerusalem as israel's capital will bring peace but now it's only brought riots under arrest. a terror suspect believed to have been inspired by islamic state is arrested in new york after a blast rocked a central bus station injuring three commuters. hundreds of protesters clashed with police in catalonia after madrid orders the transfer of only artifacts to another spanish region in the wake of the independent spirit.

come some residents in paris threaten to go on hunger strike or storage has failed to solve the crisis caused by a makeshift migrant camp near their houses. you're watching the latest headlines here at r.t. international 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 and more protests have erupted this cheese day well for more let's cross live now to a local journalist him who's in the gaza strip well hello there him so what's the situation on the ground. well tensions is increasing at school everything is escalating for the sixth day of anger we're now are not here always borders and.

there were hundreds of protesters on the free zone and the israelis sprouted tear gas and we inhaled it it was very hard for us to go back and work and actually there were four injuries so far nothing was. to including to severe injuries and so far the palestinians and now is that the israeli army targeted. two islamic jihad members on a much a bike while the israelis denied this i think it's as collating now protesters on the. protesters are increasing confrontation is increasing and in the past days there was of a wave of protests and demonstrations in gaza strip in the west bank can invade your head at palestinians are very angry all over palestine and they completely

refuse donald trump's latest decision and more protests are coming in the up days where as people announced that on friday there will be a million rally in gaza strip. to vote. yes. yes it looks like we've lost our local journalist thank you very much indeed about that in the gaza strip thank you. well meanwhile the israeli army

says it's hit back at a time i suppose in gaza or in retaliation for a rocket launch towards israel locals have described what happened. because their stories you are. blessed. to still be here because i think trump was wrong this time he made a mess we israelis almost that jerusalem is our capital we don't need him to say it . or protests against trump's decision about jerusalem have found out across the globe one of the latest was in the chilean city of santiago where it's palestinian community rallied in front of the u.s. embassy. when a similar crisis was seen in the lebanese capital beirut while in cheney's ia demonstrators also much minding the resignation of the u.s. ambassador but despite the strong objections to trump's decision in the arab world

beyond us on bass a trip to the u.n. insists the move will bring peace to the region. assesses how likely that is. 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 claim that this is a regrettable decision as the capital of israel you know. this decision in the 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 are helpful to the prospects for peace in the region the announcement the potential to send

a speck courts to even clear signs 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 is 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 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 a 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 forward i'll 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 israel's prime minister binyamin netanyahu travel to europe trying to get a new backing for that you're a slim plan however he didn't get what he wanted. entries. you 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 when 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 lid 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. and with 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 put pressure on the u.s. i don't think they'll be too many implications it's just something that the world will have to get used to describe the animosity towards the decision the united system 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 they don't see their.

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 bid for independence the spanish region of catalonia has once again been struck by violence hundreds of protesters scuffled with police in the city. but i was one of. the. that's inflaming separatist sentiments this time disputed relics seized by the spanish will soroses medieval artifacts from a convent in another spanish province the loans to catalonia. there

was no. less lethal. like the league 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. of the law. you know this because i don't know yet what is happening in the museum in the there is nothing to do with our getting the justice it is the spanish government and the authorities in america when it came to the museum looking at the war was the us was was that i was 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 trenchant between the two parties. i was. a the authoritarian approached. on top of all the other authoritarian approaches that the colonel learns have been subject to that makes this particular case so important. russian athletes who want to take part in the upcoming winter games as neutrals will have the full support of their country the announcement comes after the international olympic committee bound russia from the games for alleged state sponsored don't ping artie's nicaea and join me in the

studio earlier the more the russian olympic committee revealed a unanimous decision to grant their blessing to any athlete still wanting to compete in the winter olympic games which will be held in less than two months as you know in a young chinese south korea there will be competing as neutrals though so no russian flags no russian symbols no russian anthem and effectively no team russia 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 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 dreams. every athlete has a dream we train every day for that dream this dream is called the olympics of course we want to perform at the upcoming olympics and have a chance to compete fairly but unlike our competitors we've been deprived of our

flag and them humiliated or basic rights have been taken away we want to compete from other learned for our loved ones for off and on mission has been one of the greatest throughout the years we will dedicate every victory and every model to russia become true will be representing with great honor and this decision comes less than a week after the president vladimir putin also gave his blessing to any athlete still wanting to compete he said that russia fully supports them well how will the olympic officials decide who to invite well i'm sorry to say kate it's 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 ping tests as well and the president of the r o c alexander as you call it also raise concerns that there may be even bigger roadblocks to come to the store one of the main issues of concern is whether or leading athletes will get an invitation to the

olympics so it won't just be those with less chance of winning medals that go leading athletes will have to remain in hopes that will be very strange and surprising but i hope that the international olympic committee is interested in the strongest russian athletes taking part in 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 schmidt and that report actually highlighted reasonable doubt that any of the suggestions to 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 a 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 so of course there are bystanders claiming that this whole decision was politicized as also people claiming that the whole investigation lacks transparency and also the clock is ticking a matter of weeks to go and that one step closer to the games but still so many hurdles yet to clear all russian olympic biathlon champions spent learning more out of our lives having to compete under a neutral flag is just a formality she thinks of russian athletes win any medals it will still be perceived as an achievement for the country in that particular commentators won't be saying that an athlete is from the international olympic committee or nothing as competing under the international olympic committee is a flag that's wrong anyway they will see that in the athlete 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 some parisians are threatening to go on hunger strike if they also it is don't hear a migrant camp in the capital or on that story after the break. what politicians to do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted over checked. so when you want to be president i'm sure. for some one of the brits . to do like to be press this is what the forecast for you in the morning can be good good i'm interested always in the waters about how. this should.

oh welcome back new york saw a bunch terrorist attack on monday police detained one suspect who along with three other people sustained no life threatening injuries in the explosion close to times square the state governor says the suspect was influenced by extremist groups including islamic state well surveillance cameras captured the moments before and

after the blast which happened in an underground passage way to in the morning commute you can see a flash followed by a tad of white smoke and people fleeing the scene that took place below the portal sorority terminal said to be the busiest boss top in the world the suspect had a homemade pipe bomb attached to his body. when we hear of an attack in the subways reportedly on saturday. and let's be also we know this was an attempted terrorist attack. thank god the perpetrator did not treat its ultimate goal. and my p.d. and i are saying the attack had the potential to be far worse as the device did not function as intended if it had many more people could have been hit by shrapnel the bombing is the second attack in the city in just six weeks at the end of october a man prada truck along the cycle path in manhattan killing eight people. i just feel like the first you. got to start things

right this happens during every day basis but this happens often and that's what the story is i think it is once more 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 a coyote owner he emigrated from bangladesh through a visa program for people with relatives who are u.s. citizens or was reportedly radicalized online and inspired by ice or christmas attacks in europe. donald trump used the attack to promote his immigration policies saying the current system allows dangerous people into the country he also slammed the so-called a 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 global strikes is here to stay. string attacks are happening with

increased frequency in the u.s. and certainly from what we've seen in europe. are perhaps not directly. directed by us but certainly have an affiliation came in terms of them sympathy with a very. rocky in syria it's not surprising i think anybody in this industry networks either. security. think that needs are going to probably continue to happen for some time in the future. well the attack brought midtown manhattan to a standstill but not everyone was focused on following the updates. the new york times report gives a fascinating insight into president trusts t.v. viewing habits paper says the president watches at least four hours of television

a day and drinks twelve cans of diet coke and just i know you're standing by with breaking news so i may have to cut away from you. another full story this time in the filing new york times that i watch forty eight hours of television a day wrong also i seldom if ever watch c n n o m s n b c both of which i consider right.

locals living in one area of paris have written an open less essay president my call to munging a makeshift migrant can be cleared from by their homes that's writing to go on hunger strike if the situation is not dealt with you know what is supposed 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 the hunger strike. migrants have been gathering in the tens and nineteenth districts of paris near to an asylum center they've been living on the streets while they wait for their applications to be processed that's where the procedure proving lengthy tent camps in sprang up and started to spread. we

the open letter saying all sorts he's 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 bij says the government's not learning from past mistakes. we've got over two hundred thousand migrants from a different situation francis i'm going to come over and was they arrive in france well there's no strategy to greet them integrate them to the shelter then what happens is you see a couple months ago on the beaches of now that this summer they're on the beaches of normandy and now they're on the streets of paris this specific situation of the small local residents that over port t. thousand have been sleeping in makeshift facilities that you're needing on the streets. creating havoc and of course from that stands crime local residents are

very unhappy at the same time the french authorities are doing if you go to addressing the situation continue as before and tell you so this is a very bad story. russia's federal security service has eliminated a terrorist cell run and funded by islamic state the group had planned attacks during the new year celebrations as well as the presidential elections next month medina cochon of a has more. russia's federal security service has for the plot of a terrorist group which planned attacks including suicide bombings 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 improvised explosive devices they also destroyed firearms and ammunition now according to the
