i. thank you. president vladimir putin concludes his annual marathon q. and a session with journalists seventy questions and almost four bring you the highlights from the coming. head to the nation's call for east jerusalem to be recognized as the palestinian capital while rejecting the u.s. role in the whole middle east process. the u.s. decision jerusalem every possible step must be taken to prevent the implementation of legal action by the u.s. administration for the u.k. peace there rebel against their own prime minister trees of may backing a parliament to any final deal on leaving the e.u. .

just. the fourteenth of december money this is r t international great to have you with us and we're starting off with this it wrapped up just over an hour ago we're talking the annual q. and a the russian president vladimir putin finished almost four hours of nonstop questions and diverse questions at that from the press our correspondents across. time go so many questions to save through what stood out for you the. kevin hello about forty minutes ago i got out of the room and trust me it is very difficult because there are so many people more than sixty one hundred journalists and it really squeezes a lot of energy out of you when so many people are eager to get that question and i'll tell you what the thing of the press conference is that you can hear about things ranging from a bridge in a remote town and. that's been delayed in construction to global issues like the

nuclear treaties and so on but i'll tell you what are the things that particularly stood out for me this time is that the share of questions that you might want to call challenging for a white america who can about corruption about the silencing of political opponents in russia was perhaps a bit larger this time then previously one of the things that a lot of a putin was asked about is the lack of political competition in this country and one of the questions came from his direct opponent perhaps a person who wants to become the presidential candidate in twenty eighteen that is a subject. that's a major issue for those who want to represent that system opposition they have to offer not a short lived and shrill agenda but a real one you know why is it so difficult being a physician may be the government is frightened of honest competition but the

opposition should present a program of positive action that's clear to the public do you want someone with the intentions of a coup d'etat we've seen this already if you want to list the returns but i'm sure that the overwhelming majority of citizens don't want to i'm almost let it happen to me when i mentioned corruption and that is surely the issue that many blame the russian government for and vladimir putin was asked a few things about corruption and particularly corruption in law enforcement and here is what mr putin said first he said he wasn't satisfied with how things were going and he also gave one example when he had a conversation with the head of russia's security service mr wharton cough they were talking about one particular case when they had of the f.s.b. he said well six months ago we completely replace the people in this organisation some of them are now in jail and then six. months later the situation is repeating

itself so this way vladimir putin is showing that the situation is very difficult even when the government as he puts it is trying to do its best to deal with it here's what else they were surprised and said about corruption in law enforcement there is no truth in the approach to it it's not a secret but it's a tough question and i can't say that i'm satisfied with how this work is being done one solution i can think of is like we have in the army we have rotation that someone serves for three or five years in one place and then they're transferred somewhere else so maybe it makes sense to organize something like that in law enforcement to. well if we put the domestic issues aside there were of course questions about international issues putin's relations with donald trump the catastrophic i guess it is even fair to say difficulties in relations between moscow and washington and one of the things i asked

a lot of our putin about was his personal ties with donald trump in russian there are two different words for the word you like in french two and goog one you would use to address your friends your parents and the other one you'd use to address everyone else respectively and i asked if that difference existed in english how would you refer to donald trump and he said the or two in french which means that he would address him as a friend i guess that is quite important there was one journalist who asked a lot about putin about the way both the u.s. and russia are trying to deal with the crisis in north korea the question contained this journalist said that the u.s. wants russia to do more to persuade north korea to halt its nuclear program and that really touched a lot of our puton he addressed that particular bed with the special attention take a listen. do you think that cooperation on north korea could warm up u.s.

russia relations. tediously would it be that you were very interesting people have you noticed that your congressman senators who wear nice suits and shirts who seem to be intelligent people they lump us together with north korea and iran but at the same time they push their president to ask us to resolve the iran nuclear deal and the north korean crisis are you ok. but in terms of the stance by moscow you once again repeated what russia has been saying all along they're calling on both north korea and the u.s. to stop the provocations to really put the moves aside that can provoke the other party in this call like for instance vladimir putin said well when the americans promised to hold their joint patrols with south korea we heard it but then they happened then came john whom launched another rocket lattimer putin is once again

calling on all sides to stop making these moves that lead to an escalation i guess that sums up the main points of a lot of our putin press conference for more of course you can go on our website and on our you tube channel where you can listen to all the other questions and answers and many other things so as they say in french earlier pre-trained for no mercy thank you the world trade center in moscow where we discuss president putin's latest q. and a session with the chief editor for the news website the duran dot com as well his name's adam garry. president putin does these press conferences at least once a year and they're incredibly important because it's a chance for ordinary russian citizens members of the domestic media and members of the international media to interact with the russian president on a very intimate basis and ask literally whatever they wanted unscripted and the

subjects can be incredibly diverse even though they of course always touch on the major issy's i can't frankly think of another leader in modern history who has devoted himself this much to giving such detailed answers in this marathon fashion to members of the wider public so it's a chance really for the world to understand not only what the russian federation is doing in terms of policy what it's doing in terms of its future ambitions but what the president of a superpower is thinking on a sometimes very intimate level. leaders of was limitations of calling on the international community to recognize east jerusalem now as the palestinian capital the organization of islamic cooperation met in response to the u.s. president's heavily criticised move to recognize the ancient city as israel's capital. the u.s. decision on your russo them because of his great bias against the historical and

permanent rights of the palace. is important i want to point out to ignore some of the distortions and see the united states the solution to recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel is a dangerous one it will threaten security and stability and frustrates efforts to resume the peace process the president is committed to this peace process as committed as he has ever been or yet as a mediator all every possible step must be taken to prevent the implementation of this illegal action by the u.s. administration however there is one question that sticks out here what's factors and limits made it possible for the u.s. president's trip to take such an outrageous act that type of rhetoric that we heard has prevented peace in the past and it's not necessarily surprising to us next in our correspondent in explains how donald trump's jerusalem decision is affecting his global reputation right now. how much time do you think donald trump spent

considering his move to recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel a decision which doesn't directly affect anyone apart from the u.s. and its ally but as tremors across the world in ways that washington perhaps didn't see coming the u.s. loses its starring role in the middle east peace process in one swoop the president wait farewell to any hope that the united states can broker a diplomatic solution in the holy land from now on america is unwarranted in the peace process. from now on american mediation between israel and palestine is out of the question this process is over. the united states has chosen to lose its competency. qualifies itself from play in a peaceful process the turkish president takes center stage in the regional resistance to both the u.s.

and israel an extraordinary all muslim nation summit is hosted in istanbul by president he wasted no time in calling trump's decision no and avoid branding israel a state of terror. are you back in this country this israel. terrorism is that what you are defending even more violence and a possible third intifada from nine hundred eighty seven to ninety one and two thousand to two thousand and five the region saw two deadly palestinian uprisings against the israeli occupation known as the into fargas now we could be on the verge of a third slaughter in the name of allah firstly how mass is called on the palestinian people to face the israeli occupation and adopt the blessid into fodder against that and the hateful and racist recognition of jerusalem and to american river. says it's decision the palestinian people who are involved in

a continuous battle and into fodder against the israeli occupation and we are calling for it's be escalated in the west bank occupied jerusalem and the gaza strip against the occupation zone a little over a week since trump announced his decision and the tide has turned to a tsunami of potential natural disaster no one was ready for i do think we will see more of what we've been seeing so far and whether we're with the rock throwing and demonstrations and unfortunately something people being killed whether this results in a in a another what they call third intifada i don't think we have any way of knowing if there's anything that may happen it's it's somewhat counter intuitive i think it will be taken by most of the regional countries and also by the europeans as indication that they can't trust the united states they don't trust american leadership and it way in the in the guise of reasserting american leadership i

think mr trump has actually made us more irrelevant to developments in the region and in some ways has lessened american influence in the region despite the international backlash over troubles decision the u.s. secretary of state says it could take years for any concrete actions to actually follow and went on to the american embassy to israel can stay in tel aviv to at least the end of the presidency this thursday thousands of people in gaza are celebrating the thirtieth anniversary of the hamas group for the moment all the demonstrations have been peaceful and israel's close its checkpoints with gaza for an indefinite period of time but the tensions in the region have been escalating quickly with both sides resorting to force israeli forces say overnight they intercepted two rockets fired from gaza meantime clashes in that contested city as well as in the west bank been raging for a week now already. it destroyed the p.c.

destroyed like this for syrian christians the same month is seventeen. i think that's a given give it give for the war to give nothing to the story. was was. i think doesn't know what is going on and i think he's just if you don't know it doesn't understand the depth of the problem that he has just created. because he. was. in the u.k. british conservative lawmakers have given prominence to trees of may a brick sit bruising after voting to give parliament the final say on any deal struck on leaving the e.u.

eleven rebels within her own party broke ranks to give employees of the power to veto any potential agreement or breaks it. a meaningful vote a meaningful vote a meaningful vote article fifty has a deadline the date has been served we are leaving at the end of march and when the deadline runs out we leave leaving the european union and we should say no parliament taking back control extends the article fifty dead right before we leave the european union amendments servant is floor is just my view the worse it will be unproductive negotiations to drag things out drag out the negotiations to delay project for months and months and months scrutinise what's of the government is doing proper scrutiny this is not the moment to try and defeat or go through. what. it's been eighteen months since the referendum saw fifty two percent of

voters choose to leave the european union of course or that poll did show a sharp divide between britain's regions which wanted to remain there was only in march this year that the government then finally kick started the whole exit process and the often strained negotiations with brussels the followed opposition leader jeremy corbyn quit speak up he said conservative m.p.'s have delivered a humiliating loss of authority for the government and the power is now back in the hands of parliament earlier the prime minister was claiming that the government's strategy was on track although the words weren't met with much approval. but there is there is likely for a new sense of optimism now in the tour and. i. expect that we will confirm the arrangements i have set out today in the european council later this week theresa may though might have secured a better result in the house of commons had she not lost her party's majority in that snap election gamble earlier this year she only managed to stay on in power with a one billion pound deal with the northern irish democratic unionist party some of

the westminster watches we've spoken to believe to reason may therefore can no longer overlook the deep divisions within your own party. yes the humiliation and has directly governments don't tend to last very long after after they get defeated at the hands of their own backbenchers to i think it shows that the government government is really up for grabs it really demonstrates how insincere the conservatives were in their promise that they would. vote on the final deal to parliament because if they were sincere why would they be so determined even at the risk of a parliamentary the defeat to resist making this into a legally binding commitment this is the first defeat little a completely united germany call the labor bertie because although on the labor jeremy corbyn famously for brics and most of his political careers differences within his own body the conservative party is split very much over bricks in itself

and to reserve a thought that you could fudge the issues and. make a deal between different rival factions or own party tonight it's it's failed it's clear that european leaders will see this isn't it weakness 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. if you want to run the world thinks choosing out internationally is kevin owen who did this are still a lot more to come including facebook revealing the price paid by russian accounts to sway the brics that referendum is a staggering figure but probably not what you think in stay with us we'll tell you more. the war hawks selling you on the idea that dropping bombs brings peace to the chicken hawks forcing you to fight the battles. for new socks for the tell you that

celebrity gossip the tabloid lifestyles of the supporters they. tell you are not full enough like their products. are the hawks that we along with all the walking. trump benefit. very much from the existing plurality rule system because he was so different from the other candidates if you took any one of those mainstream candidates and you put him in a head to head contest with trump. that other candidate might well have won.

and facebook has given its findings to the british government on alleged russian influence on the platform in the run up to the brics it voted it seems that the price to sway the referendum cost less than a cup of tea is laura smith reports. i must be dying to know what the findings are so i'll just cut to the chase and tell you seventy six pence facebook identified an ad spend of less than a dollar by russian organizations in the lead up to the brits that referendum that bought three adverts which showed over four days and around two hundred people they estimate saw them and even they related to immigration are not actually directly to correct it this idea that russia meddled in the break that referendum is something that's really gained traction here just over the last month or so headlines comments by politicians even a notable speech by two reason may in which she accused russia of undermining british democracy chief among those today of course is russia but it is russia's

actions russia's illegal onix ation of crimea so i have a very simple message for russia because we know there's a strong and prosperous russia russia has the reach of the responsibility russia can russia does not what they're referring to are bots and trolls and in particular paid advertising on social media now damian collins the chair of this select committee has responded saying that facebook only provided details of advertising by accounts that were known to be linked to a thing called the internet research agency which is a russian organization that's accused of meddling in the us elections it hadn't he said done any further work around that to ascertain whether there were other accounts and pages that had been active around the referendum but tech crunch which is a well known industry online magazine said that it seems very unlikely that there is another layer to this. eleven year old black girls been handcuffed and held

a gun point by police in the us out of michigan used into place during a search operation for a forty year old murder suspect. it was not reality. why should. it be and why i care for your i am very very early find your first your. story and your. iou yes. well authorities are facing a public backlash with many condemning the police officers actions in response to a complaint from the girl's family that to police the police department's now launched an internal investigation we need to look at everything from our hiring to our training to our supervision what we're going to look at is when is it

appropriate for discretion to override practice and or call in dealing with an eleven year old group called communities united against police brutality believes that such actions by police can never be justified. children at eleven years old are still quite innocent and they should not have to be dealing with the police arresting them falsely slapping hands it can't be justified because she clearly pose no threat to them whatsoever you know they posed a threat to her by pointing guns at her but these officers are all being trained to think of every single person in the community is an enemy combatant they're being trained almost like soldiers except with less restraint we need to do much more with us fellatio training and training that teaches officers how to actually negotiate situations without possibly being fearful of their lives we need to hold officers accountable and we need to demand that the culture of policing change so

that officers a gauge of the community and stop being warriors over the community that's what we have to do you know up to date on the latest stories for many details on the headlines as well check it out see dot com so much more on that i'm going to show you all follow a twitter account for further updates to uncover the infant i was saying thanks for watching. those are a little. bit and you don't. see the. what. they call. what my. space. left in the case. said. you know to me to see that. you speak french. on. those i. think. it's

a new president accused of exposing the bullets to. a everybody i'm stephen bach. test hollywood guy usual suspects every crowd american first of all i'm just george bush and our v.m. to say this is my buddy many famous financial gurus will use a little bit different. they're going to win those up with all the drama happening in our country and shooting the brood have to be every day americans. look to the store to bridge the gap this is the great american people. the. book. that's the

problem in this new reality is there will be no resting in peace there is no death anymore people will pay to make sure that their death is final that their death is complete that all their d.n.a. a scrub. planet welcome to all to part give me a ladder and the fulcrum and i shall move to wild almost every politician in these day and age use a summer edition of the archimedes plaschke in search of power but very few deliver to gaining it is that due to the lack of striving or perhaps trying for all the wrong things well just got that i'm now joined by eric musk and american economists

and two thousand and seven nobel laureate professor musk and it's great to talk to you think you're for sparing some time for us thanks for the invitation now you're best known for mechanism design theory you got your nobel prize for them as far as i understand it's. a bit like reverse engineering your started out with a goal you want to achieve and you work backwards and i can see how it can be easily applied to electoral politics running for office but is it just as a political to running the office governance which by definition is far more diffused when it comes to the stated goals yes well i think mechanism design comes into politics first in the design of governments. where when the country is trying to figure out how it is going to allocate power to the executive to the legislative it will draw up a constitution and the process of designing and executing

a constitution is an exercise in mechanism design but i soon the challenge here would be not only defining and sort of operationalizing your goals but also prioritizing them and as much as you want to bring more mathematics and science into governance do you think it's actually possible realistic to construct that multi-layered governing algorithm when you're so constrained by short political cycle mechanism design. is more concerned with. what constraints you place on the politicians officials what what scope for the exercise of power they have once they're in office it's up to them to operate within those constraints that is the

mechanism design doesn't tell them what they should do with office it's interesting that you stress the sort of a limiting part of and i think that's actually a very cultural american thing about. they do about limiting power but obviously when the politician arm like a new government comes into office it also needs a certain freedom to. and secured its own policies how would you ballance those out that's where constraints on. on what a particular official can do come in. for example. under the american system the government is not allowed to. tell the newspaper not to write. on a subject unless unless it can be argued that. national security

will be jeopardized immediately and that's a very difficult argument to think they're free to tell the newspaper or or t.v. station but they don't like what those what the journalists are doing but they can't stop them but it's interesting if you can bring in this example of media because i think that's of particular. american hangout because governance is not about what the media is riding on not writing about this or that particular governor governor of government don't you actually think that in the united states the whole conversation about governance is now reduced to how the government relates to the media and oh but the media play an essential role. in american politics because it's very difficult for government sue monitor itself but don't you think that actually substitutes governance for coal.
