commission. on less than the price of a cup of tea facebook estimates russia. called campaign to influence the. referendum. just a few moments into a brand new day here in moscow thursday december the fourteenth time you know real welcome to r.t. international we start in turkey where leaders of the muslim world have held an emergency summit one called on the international community to recognize east jerusalem as the capital of palestine charlotte was the organization of islamic cooperation meeting for us well i'm standing just outside of damascus gate in east jerusalem which now has according to the organization of islamic cooperation. the

capital of palestine interacts contradiction to what we heard from donald trump of the u.s.a.'s position just a week ago where they said jerusalem 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 deemed 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 he said he would now go to the e.u. knighted nation security council meeting to ask for full membership for palestine. we will go to the general assembly regarding the membership of we zero because it's not in line with the international resolutions we will also go to the peace and security council to consider the question of palestine as full membership 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 to look at out of the. trunk are you back in this country this israel whether it's occupation and sarazen is that while you're 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 poor. is this

exactly what he wanted do you really want to pitch himself against fifty seven leaders of the nations and if so have they played directly into his hands chill it di vinci altie. when he recognized jerusalem as the couple of israel donald trump said he was promoting peace but so far there's been nonstop violence across the region in the latest development israel has now intercepted two rockets fired from gaza. well one of the forces leaving 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 form of the wrist they can see what palestinians call the it's really occupation of their territory. i feel. i. feel old. it's a lot of money 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 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 trauma didn't know what would come of his racist and hateful decision and didn't expect this anger to sweep across the arab islamic and palestinian street. people are still on the israeli siege they want to continue the into fodder against the israeli occupation and the american administration as a partner who has to take responsibility for this escalation and the consequences by this american decision on jerusalem. the first intifada back in the one nine hundred eighty s. lasted for five years and the second lasted for both resulted in intense conflict and the deaths of thousands of people both soldiers and civilians. he

basically wants to compete against hamas in his own areas who at hamas has become much more popular mr abbas i just sat with three palestinian notables just a few hours ago in jerusalem and they said the hatred for mr abbas is so great on the palestinian street because of the corruption and the mishandling of the palestinian authority that people in the palestinian areas in the west bank and even in gaza the public wants to be connected to israel the public wants to work with israel mr abbas politically it is in a terrible position so his best option is to go the extremist route but this political suicide is not going to help his people well donald trump's decision to recognize jerusalem as the israeli capital was heavily criticized by european art of officials but that does not seem to have trouble the american leader as caleb maupin reports. well it's 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 jewish 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 us as i would 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 do interest decision we do know and agree clearly disagree these decisions are helpful from the european union member states sites this move would 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 he's taking us through

still suddenly and is shooting over friends tell me it's a day he announces that they're pretty much scared to go but the drizzling because they don't know how it's going to be in their scared to leave the house says 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 in the 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 that this decision is long overdue and help correct a decades long indignity there may be benefits for him personally may be a tipping his hat to his base and say 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 world opinion and regarding the suffixes in

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. moving on the international is accusing e.u. governments of condoning the detention the abuse of migrants trying to reach europe from libya we believe they are knowingly complacent. refugees and i say. because they know exactly what is going on there and they have chosen to support. a system. of migrants without. any safe. group post published

a report titled libya's dark web of collusion focusing on the hardship of people trying to reach europe explaining the details of ominous east claims here's our nuclear. 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 either 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 the sea while here we see someone else being whipped. thank you it was shock

of my. was my. this particular boat was donated by italy by 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's the detention center 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 here that 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 did the potential. want to. do you skin to be tossed out finish is going to be tossed before so as to snoop it was sort of water to drink for limited to us and. a level of abuse is. horrific. do these people even feel. there is no use or food that provided that unless you can pay for it would be reviewed several people who. decided that the way to all change 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 that. and this is just the ordinary daily life in the sense that the rights group wants european gun. to rethink that cooperation with libya when it comes to migration is that if they continue to support libyan or thora te's

european governments are laying bare what their true priority is putting the closure of the central mediterranean route for the welfare of the little people. meanwhile a report by the european commission on the block's programs in the bee has stressed the need to shut down smuggling and human trafficking in the country it went on to say that the e.u.'s efforts have a strong human rights component well r.t. has asked several institutions to comment on the allegations against the government including the italian foreign ministry we heard from the u.n. secretary general's deputy spokesman 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 sees that while i can't comment on the report its own information seems to support that of amnesties oxfam the e.u. has sacrificed people to safety and wellbeing in order to stop irregular migration

at any cost. we also spoke to antonio puns a.o.l. italian m.e.p. who is the chair of a subcommittee on human rights he believes europe's immigration policy has many flaws. in the compliance of the international need to be taken seriously the describe the reality that currently exists in libya a reality caused by strong migration coming from africa and bush somehow bossa from the containment policies to some european countries. these policies forced people to amend in libya inhumanly unbearable conditions i believe that the european immigration policy must be completely removed by the policy that was adopted but it's a loop was to contain immigration from libya obviously this policy is based on three requirements first interest in the libyan authorities with the management of the tension centers in libya the second criterion is based on training and the provision of means including ships through the libyan coast guard to control the

flow of immigration and departing from libya and third lateral agreements made with some libyan tribes with them it's in has interests of the managed. of the southern border of libya i'm not able to say whether there is any collaboration as regards to the detention camps the only thing i can say is that these containment policies have created a very big problem in libya in this mine quinn's miserable conditions. the u.k. prime minister has suffered a major defeat in the house of commons members of treason maze own party defied her in a key vote on her breaks in bill the vote was lost by three hundred nine to three hundred five hours lawmakers insisted they should have a legally binding say on any deal of the government agrees with the european union and eleven tory rebels joined up with the opposition to vote against the government

this defeat is a humiliating loss of authority for the government on the eve of the european council meeting the reason has resisted democratic accountability her refusal to listen means she will now have to accept parliament taking back control you're not a great time for the pm after what appeared to be a breakthrough in break the talks last week trees in may's popularity see saw two percent increase according to the leaders polls back then though she claimed the government strategy had broad support. but there is there is i believe a new sense of optimism now in the two. i would expect that we will confirm the arrangements set out today in the european council later this week. to see if we can now get the thought of action returned to the host of going underground on r.t. always good to see you afshan jeremy corbyn the leader of the opposition and the british media are describing this simply as a humiliation from ismay is that

a fair assessment. i think a lot of people right around the country including people in our own party would assume so we're going to remember elsewhere in the european union information stream we're hearing of the president of the european commission luxemburg government investigating him for criminality and along comes this just when britain thinks it's negotiating well over breck's it to put this in context to raise him a leading a minority government here in britain thought that paying off something like one and a half billion two billion dollars to stay in government by what many people see as a bribe to formally paramilitary linked party members just to stay in power that would save over any votes that were taking place in the house of commons and lo and behold we're seeing people on their own party refusing to vote for or over these. bills or at least at least this is the first defeat let alone

a completely united jeremy corbyn labor party because although on the labor side jeremy corbyn famously for bricks and most of his political career has differences within his own party the conservative party is split very much split over bricks it itself and to resume thought that he could fudge the issues and somehow make a deal between different rival factions in iran party and tonight it's it's failed yet it's far from being the the had just a silly a domestic problem too he's on our travels tomorrow again to brussels how do you think the e.u. is going to view this situation if as you as you clearly say the tories fighting among themselves countries it may actually be considered a reliable negotiating partner from their point of view. well before tonight many people saw the government in dublin as basically being responsible for the future of the united kingdom opposed to brics it given that the european union has sort of

brought dublin in as its negotiator over a highly volatile border between north and southern ireland as for tomorrow's meeting at in europe it's clear that european leaders will see this as a sign of weakness and prob wreck city is here in britain they would mind so much because actually they hardly brecht it as what they wanted and to raise a maze deal over the past few days is signalled all sorts of fudging that would have meant britain supporting e.u. rules for an entire transitional period as for remain as they still harbor these desires against the will of the british electorate to remain part of europe and those a negotiator is in brussels they talk very tough michel barnier just in the past forty eight hours trying to shout down different comments coming through as a maze cabinet that appeared to differ from the agreement that was signed well not even signed gentles gentlemen's agreement as as was said they just just back to

mess the option finally because what what what lies ahead here for this government it's got no majority the democratic unionist party the northern irish d.p. defied me last week didn't they if you want to survive this i don't think that the british government will imminently collapse but there's no doubt that if you pay that kind of money to stay in power and can't win critical votes over the future of the united kingdom you're in big big trouble r.t.t. going on around host afshin rattansi filling in some of the blanks for us today thank you very much. the price to sway a referendum is less than a dollar according to facebook which presented its findings to the u.k. government on alleged russian activities on the platform during britain's vote to leave the european union ortiz or a smith brings us the details but did that 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 the reason may actually last month accusing russia of undermining british democracy and what they're talking about is thoughts and trolls and in particular paid for advertising on social media given the widespread public concern over foreign and particularly russian interference in western democracies. this house that the government and the electoral commission will examine these reports very carefully and reassure our country that all of the resources spent in the referendum are from permissible sources 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 an ad spend of less than a dollar from russian organizations in the lead up to the bracks that referendum that paid for three out 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. in another development twitter has just now released its report on alleged russian meddling phone six r vers which course just stay over a one thousand dollars a quibble and aimed at swing the referendum earlier this year officials from google facebook and twitter had to testify in the u.s. senate here's a quick look back at her. the film portals into our society russia has harnessed the tremendous and quite frankly to me frightening power of social media their goal is to divide us and discredit our democracy they are using our own social networks our friendships our families and our biases and viewpoints against us. but once.

we determined that the number of accounts we could link to russia and that were tweeting election related content was comparatively small. aggregate these ads and posts were a very small fraction of the overall content on facebook but any amount is too much . these videos mostly handload few counts i. well the view of international relations expert must goldwyn is that all the

russian meddling stories really big news because of the media's role in playing them up one of the issues is that many of the claims have been made by fairly prominent journalists i mean if you look at the u.k. debate for example the observer newspaper has been particularly active at pushing this idea and that really has forced politicians to have to at least be seen to be investigating the issues. of course and. michaud media stories at least in my view. is being polite but the evidence was incredibly dubious but yeah i mean i am sure that voters will be asking the court that question as to why is resource being plowed into this type of investigation when bats. it should have been spent elsewhere. somebody or strike has reportedly had a military police camp in the rebel control capital of the yemen local officials

say thirty nine people were killed dozens injured including prisoners an officer at the facility said this was the seventh raid on the camp the saudi coalition has been bombing yemen since march twenty fifteen supposedly in support of the government against you see rebels in the desperate humanitarian situation has worsened by a partial blockade of the country. the u.s. secretary of state has opened the door for face to face talks with north korea in a hopeful gesture to pyongyang rex tillerson said washington would be prepared to meet without any preconditions we're ready to talk any time north korea would like to talk. and we are ready to have the first meeting without precondition let's just meet unless we talk about the weather if you will 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 if not all of branch i suppose it could be called from rex tillerson code mark a significant shift in u.s. policy in north korea which previously demanded give up on its nuclear program before talks could begin. they're not going to negotiate our way to the negotiating table d p r k knows what they need to do in order to get the united states to work with them and they know that has to be dealing with me or sation the secretary has said he's not going to negotiate his way back to the negotiating table point is the ball at the end of november north korea tested its most powerful intercontinental ballistic missile today about launch spark global condemnation on a warning from the trumpet administration that the country would be quote utterly destroyed if it triggered a war this week the north korean leader again raised the stakes vowing to make his country the world's strongest when you clear power. now
