i. headline stories leaders of majority muslim nations. on call on the world to accept part of the city as palestine. as the violence continues over washington's decision on jerusalem we speak exclusively to the driving force behind the protests the islamist group hamas. to be escalated in the west bank. and the gaza strip against the israeli occupation . the international countries are complicit in the abuse of my coming from libya. we get reaction.

from the european parliament. less than the price of. pain to influence the referendum. around the clock across the world this is r.t. international from the team and myself welcome to the program we begin this hour in turkey where a meeting of the organization of islamic cooperation muslim nations have called on the international community to recognize east jerusalem as the capital of palestine . has been following the emergency session for us. well i'm standing just

outside of damascus gate in east jerusalem which now has according to the organization of islamic cooperation been named the capital of palestine into rights contradiction to what we heard from donald trump and u.s.a.'s position just a week ago where they said to slim an undivided jerusalem was in their mind the capital of israel that extraordinary meeting came as fifty seven leaders from muslim countries across the world continents met together at that meeting which was convened by turkey's president to one now we also heard them condemn that pronunciation by don't will trump and they called on all the nations of the world to recognize east jerusalem as being the capital of palestine we also heard from the palestinian leader mahmoud abbas who said he would now go to the u. knighted nation security council meeting to ask for full membership for palestine.

will go to the general assembly regarding the membership of israel because it's not in line with international resolutions we will also go to the peace and security council to consider the question of palestine's full membership and we also heard at that oh i see meeting that they believe that the usa has lost its ability to be a peace broker an honest broker between israel and palestine going forward saying that the usa was not like the almost more impartial neutral when it comes to the situation between israel and palestine mr one also went on to describe israel as being a terrorist state is doing look at that hey trump are you back in this country this israel's occupation and. is that why you are defending well that decision by donald trump a week ago to name jerusalem as the capital of israel has caused tensions. not just

here in israel and palestine but of course tensions across the wider area and that's why that extraordinary meeting was convened on wednesday the question is is this exactly what he wanted did you really want to put himself against fifty seven leaders of other nations and if so have they played directly into his hands chill it di vinci altie history snow. ball promoting peace that was the declared purpose when donald trump recognized jerusalem as the capital of israel but so far there's been nonstop violence across the region. was. a woman of the forces leading the protest movement is the islamist political group

hamas seen by some nations as terrorists in an exclusive interview with our t.v. organization reiterated its call for a third intifada a form of active unrest against what palestinians call the us really occupation of their territory. philo. philo. in the name of allah firstly how mass is called on the palestinian people to face the israeli occupation and adopt the blessid in safaga against that and the hateful and racist recognition of jerusalem and to america reverses its decision the

palestinian people who are involved in a continuous battle and into fodder against the israeli occupation and we are calling for it to be escalated in the west bank occupied jerusalem and the gaza strip against the occupation until america drops its recognition of jerusalem. without doubt the american president didn't know what would come of his racist and hateful decision didn't expect this anger to sweep across the arab islamic and palestinian streets. people are still on the israeli siege they want to continue the into fostering against israeli occupation and the american administration as a partner who has to take responsibility for this escalation and the consequences caused by this american decision on jerusalem. the first intifada lasted for

a full five years the second for four years both resulted in violent clashes on the deaths of thousands of people both soldiers and civilians. of donald trump's decision to recognize true islam of the israeli capital was heavily criticized by our about european officials but that doesn't seem to trouble the american leader give up i've been looking into. pilots' now the time of year in which israel celebrates hanukkah and this comes after donald trump's dramatic decision on jerusalem which may seem like a huge gift we a very happy hanukkah. and i think this one will go down as especially special. right now i'm thinking about what's going on and the love that's all over his you know. all about jerusalem love that's all over israel trump one is far is actually praising himself for the all

but controversial move his point his predecessors only made promises where he actually delivered. jerusalem is still the capital of israel and most remain unknown divided city accessible questions that take office i will begin the process of moving the united states ambassador to the city in israel and shows. i continued to say that. jerusalem will be the capital of israel so why is trump so gleeful about his decision as the international community praised him for it nope they dangerous decision we do know and agree clearly disagree these decisions are helpful from the european union member states sites this move will not come so is it what the american people want well not according to this poll taken ahead of trump's decision sixty three percent of americans say that they oppose the move but it's popular in israel right well not with all israelis they think of only friends leaving you as i am they. are in much greater risk than they were with i think it

will because of. people dead and. violence i think it was a reckless this season and it takes less time to announce it is like a man who was playing in a coma defeated or in the. in gangsta. so it's taking us three still suddenly. oh my friends tell me it's a day he knows that they're pretty much scared to go but the drizzling because they don't know how it's going to be underscored to leave the houses but trump did win over some of his harsh critics in the democratic camp. jerusalem is the capital of the state of israel something the united states congress has reaffirmed and a fact of history that cannot be tonight. i support the decision to recognize jerusalem as the eternal capital of israel and to move the u.s. embassy to this decision is long overdue and helps correct

a decades long indignity there may be benefits for him personally may be a tipping his hat to his base and saying you know this is a campaign promise that i made he sees it more important for his personal legacy for his supporters to do this regardless of its effect on world opinion regardless of its effect on the united states and the world opinion and regardless of its effect on the palestinian. people the world is not happy with the move america is not happy with the move but donald trump thinks it's terrific a year ago at his inauguration donald trump said that from here forward it would be america first well it's starting to look like maybe it's trump first. r.t. new york. international is accusing governments of condoning that attention on abuse of money grins trying to reach europe from libya. we

believe they knowingly complicity in a system of abuse and torture of refugees and migrants. because they know exactly what is going on and they have chosen to support. the system of the tension and abuse of migrants without. placing any safe gadget or group published a report titled libya's dark web of collusion focusing on the hardship of people trying to reach europe exploring the details of on the claims here. last year e.u. member states launched a series of measures aimed at cutting off the central mediterranean route through libya but to report by amnesty international says that these steps are in fact actively supporting a system of exploitation and abuse of the vulnerable people they should be helping

and they have video evidence to back their claims to these are rescue boats that even countries supplied to the libyan coast guard to intercept migrants at sea honesty says that this is the moment someone that had been rescued was thrown overboard and towed along that sea while here we see someone else being whipped. thank you it was she was i was struck i was my. was my. this particular boat was donated by italy i can april and was handed over to the libyan coast guard in a ceremony attended by the italian interior minister who'd have thought it would one day be the focal point of accusations of human rights violations and then there

is the detention centers after being rescued at sea migrants are taken to these facilities run by the libyan department for combat saying illegal migration with the full support of e.u. countries in the words of amnesty is hit but they are exposed to a soul destroying cycle of exploitation and it's a cause for what reason thought uprising to all our producers for business in libya to kill some people this or some people who are here to put their stock i. want to . use going to be tossed out finish it's going to be toast being before so. it was sort of water to drink for limited to us and the. level of abuses. these people leaving feel. there is no war or food that provided that unless you

can pay for it would be interviewed several people who. said that the way to the why their families were on the phone in order to extort the money for the torture to stop and for them to be released. and this is just the ordinary daily life in these sand that the rights group wants european guy. to rethink that cooperation with libya when it comes to migration is that if they continue to support libyan authorities european governments are laying bare what their true priority is putting the closure of the central mediterranean route for the welfare of the rebel people. meanwhile a report by the european commission on the blocks programs in libya has stressed the need to shut down smuggling and human trafficking in the country it went on to say about the e.u.'s efforts have a strong human rights component well r.t. is asked several institutions to comment on the allegations against the governments including the italian foreign ministry we heard from the un secretary general's

deputy spokesman for one he expressed concern over the situation in libya and stressed the need for the proper resettlement of migrants we've also heard back from the charity organization oxfam which says that while it can comment on the report its own information seem to support amnesty's findings. that the e.u. a sacrifice people's safety and well being in order to stop a regular migration any calls. well we've spoken to peer on. me p. who is chair of a so committee on human rights he believes the european immigration policy has many flaws. i think that the complaints of amnesty international need to be taken seriously and they describe the reality that currently exists in libya the reality is caused by strong like great coming from africa. but also from the containment.

european countries are adopting approaches for these policies to force people to remain in libya and humanly unbearable conditions i believe that the european immigration policy must be completely revived the. social network join facebook has finished its investigation into alleged russian meddling during the breaks in vote it following their what it called russia related three of them and it cost the publisher less than one dollar or seventy three pence to post them artes laura smith picks up the story. but did russia meddled in the break that referendum is something that's really getting traction here over the last month in particular there's been headlines comments by politicians a speech by reason may actually last month accusing russia of undermining british democracy the us media in particular has gone to town with headlines like signs of russian meddling in that referendum they've talked about rising alarm they've

mentioned new evidence even what they're talking about is thoughts and trolls and in particular paid for advertising on social media and now the evidence is in so findings from an investigation that was requested by two different bodies the electoral commission and a government select committee they asked facebook to look into activities by russian accounts and therefore ascertain the level of meddling in the referendum now you must be dying to know what they come up with so i'll just cut to the chase and tell you seventy six pence facebook identified and ad spend of less than a dollar from russian organizations in the lead up to the brics a referendum that paid for three hours but that was seen for a total of four days by around two hundred people and even then a apparently were not directly about bricks if they were more generally about immigration now damian collins the chair of the select committee has responded

saying that facebook has only provided details of advertising that was paid for by accounts that were linked to a russian organization called the internet research agency which has been accused of meddling in the us elections hadn't he said looked around that and provided any more information about other accounts and pages that might have been active during the referendum campaign but tech crunch which is a really well respected online industry magazine says it seems pretty unlikely that there's another layer to this. the u.s. secretary of state has opened the door for a face to face talks with north korea in a hopeful gesture of the pyongyang rex tillerson said washington would be ready to meet without any preconditions. we're ready to talk anytime north korea would like to talk. and we're ready to have the first meeting without precondition. let's just make unless we talk about the weather if you want

to talk about whether it's going to be a square table or around that's what you're shouting about. but can we at least sit down. and see each other face to face while valid all of branch from rex tillerson could mark a significant shift in u.s. policy on north korea which previously demanded pyongyang give up on its nuclear program before negotiations could begin they're not going to negotiate our way to the negotiating table d p r k knows what they need to deal in order to get the united states to work with them and they know that has to be me or station the secretary said he's not going to negotiate his way back to the negotiating table plan is to let the end of them vem bernard korea tested its most powerful intercontinental ballistic missile to date that launch triggered global condemnation on a warning from the trumpet ministration that the country would be quote utterly

destroyed if it triggered a war well this week the north korean leader again raised the stakes vying to make his country the world's strongest nuclear power carrier kevin owen spoke to asia's security expert chris ogden he said it's difficult to work on it who is holding the playbook when it comes to u.s. foreign policy so it is still very high in terms of an imminent conflict and i think the major thing that's happened is that unless and some leaders in science understand that the north koreans will not give up their nuclear weapons so. but the change from being the star important negotiations and i think to listen to comments in terms of let's just talk about anything including the weather even though that sounds quite frivolous is actually quite positive that at least the leaders could sit down formally face to face as does president trump and rex tillerson see i die here we hear that rex tillerson is kind of one of the talk all along president from saying no the time for talks over and they still say nothing's changed that was actually going on as far as the american side is concerned you

know who's holding the cards here this is the major question of u.s. foreign policy of the moment in terms of who really is the servant things and this is the biggest issue really play in the north korean crisis which is where is a consistency can we truly see what trumper say will that actually be replicated into action and we've seen this consistently between trump and so listen and terms of what will actually happen i think if they do meet then we can say firmly that that's an event but until that comes about it's still really rhetoric to some degree but hopeful rhetoric. and american mother has learned about internet fame the hard way after sharing a video of her eleven year old son tearfully talking about being bullied at school the clip went viral and saw celebrities rallied to support him but the tide quickly turned when photos of his mother emerge picks up the story. let's make fun about. copping out. right before letter dear friend don't.

call this heart wrenching video of an eleven year old boy from tennessee speaking out about being bullied by his classmates took the internet by storm keaton story got a millions of views and it up trending on twitter under its own hashtag of support a fund raising campaign was set up in keaton's name going almost sixty thousand dollars in just two days he became a center of attention with actors athletes and showbiz stars wishing out to him keats and the bullies one when i'm with you. well those punks at school are deciding what kind of people they want to be in this world how would you and your mom like to come to the avengers premiere in l.a. next year this boy is incredibly brave and they do really go to me before he knew it keaton himself had turned into a celebrity something he hadn't expected in the least. but. good. making a difference in the world gave them

a voice. but as more attention was focused on keaton the once inspiring story turned sour as his mother kimberly was shifted into the spotlight as people sifted through her facebook profile they uncovered photos featuring confederate flags and unsympathetic prince and just as quickly as support had initially flooded in backlash against kimberly hit accusations of racism and possibly using her son's pain for profit became the center of the story i feel pretty stupid or enough people i was pretty moved by keaton jones's video so every show is mom and she just wants money she just wants me to share her go fund me account responding to the outrage kimberly tried to shift the focus back to the issue of bullying by saying that the photo of the confederate flag was meant to be ironic it was ironic it was that any didn't have any to do was no racist and no no absolutely not abs i've said i spent most of my life being weighed and and judged because i wasn't racist but that didn't seem to work social media right now is mostly buzzing about

how she's using her son to get cash as for the account created to support keaton it's not clear whether he'll get the money or not it's frozen at the moment so in the course of a few days the internet went from supporting a victim of bulling to condemning his allegedly racist mother oh how quickly the tables have turned a new tech event in moscow has seen a machine working in perfect harmony from a new devices which help people with disabilities to some next level face recognition software hawkins went to try out some of the gadgets. innovation in practice congress where business meets science and some of the brightest young minds in one of moscow's top universities get to meet leading figures from academia the public and private sector n.g.o.s to brainstorm their ideas and showcase what they have to offer.

there's a real emphasis here on the virtual reality and anything digital all part of russia's drive for a high technology economy yury high on it so what is this operators here to. eat can detect your emotions and reality eat and what can it actually be used for in real life it can be useful for events are for marketing. project but i am hungry because i have a breakfast. be do we can do it or maybe in the future maybe. from virtual three d. simulators and sports psychology software to robotics on rough terrain vehicle prototypes there's something here for everyone and even the opportunity to try some in practice now it's hard to believe but my hand is actually now moving pretty much of it so of course for me this is a really strange feeling but somebody who might have a spinal injury will be paralyzed this machinery which only has one other little

over the whole world would be a life changer and the latest technology is used for mind as well as matter like this system which reads body signals to identify and tackle psychological pressures were used to do this is a stress test or we can train a person to lower their own stress levels to control with the benchley to get rid of their own phobias this particular device has already been put to use while others if they impress enough you may soon see use in our own day to day lives and it will be insanity. that is all the new snarky international more programs right ahead a lot see you in just over half an hour's time with more global news from r.t. h.q. in moscow. hey

and of course saudi arabia it is national security that is often actually invoked take this prime ministerial response to a question about u.k. arms sales to saudi the security of the gulf is important to us not. simply also remind the right on of the gentleman that actually saudi intelligence the counterterrorism links we have with saudi arabia the intelligence speak it from saudi arabia has saved potentially hundreds of lives yes minority government u.k. leader to resume now in defiance of a european parliament arms embargo resolution continues to allow the export of lethal weaponry to saudi and it apparently protects us here at home from terrorism even if it continues to threaten tens of millions in yemen the u.n. calls it the world's worst humanitarian crisis joining me now is the former vice chair of tourism his party the u.k.'s former sector state for international development and you mature under thanks for joining us in the studio going underground i should just ask actually given the amount.
