that the parties sit down unconditionally i mean you have to remember the united states. and south korea and japan and just a few countries have never even recognized the right of north korea to exist has not has not recognize them as a nation has no diplomatic relations so consequently who you talk to how you relate to them is always a little unclear no one's holding the united states feet to the fire to unconditionally sit down until there's a resolution to this issue so that we can work toward a nonproliferation in demilitarization of the korean peninsula. now the former f.b.i. director james comey heavily edited statements on hillary clinton's misuse of a private e-mail server for official business the revelation comes from a release of f.b.i. documents that even show a draft statement clearing clinton of any wrongdoing two months prior to the

official results of the case the statement says the former f.b.i. director repeatedly edited documents to reduce the impact of her potential mishandling of secret information he also made edits in order to dang grade the intelligence community's role in the issue and the likelihood to that hostile act is penetrated the mail server and it's kind of reports that does seem to be a common theme running through probes in washington. it turns out the detective work is not only for the f.b.i. at this point many different us institutions are engaged in investigations and it can get pretty confusing from person of us who could write a criminal investigation into president trump for possible obstruction of justice i really hope with a clear investigation the best. twenty ten year rhenium deal that involved rush i'm not a fan of the investigation. first there was the probe into hillary clinton and her time as secretary of state when she used

a private server for her e-mails and compromise national security we can call that probe number one. after that lawmakers who are unhappy with the results launched a probe of their own to investigate the f.b.i. as initial probe will call that probe number two this found that one of the f.b.i. investigators peter strock exchange pro clinton and anti trump text messages with his colleague electronic records show that peter struck changed former f.b.i. director james comey earlier draft language describing clinton's actions in handling classified materials from quote grossly negligent to extremely careless so one of the f.b.i. agents who was doing the investigation may not have been completely impartial. now i hate to bring it up again but we all know about the ongoing investigation into allegations of russia trumped collusion we call that number three so agent

strock is the link that connects all three he was investigating hillary clinton and he himself was investigated in probe number two and he was investigating and working on probe number three before he was fired over those text messages republicans obviously were not pleased this is just. one of the just happened to our country what happens when people who are supposed to be calm. to venture outside of even greater conflicts of interest in those who replied that's not a good question at this point it's pretty safe to say that the first three investigations were mass but congress has come up with a solution appoint a second special counsel to look into this to look into peter's drug bruce or everything else we've learned the last several weeks you guessed it more investigations. are seeing new york well u.s. political commentator john griffin doesn't believe another investigation would only mean a witch hunt against russia the bar has been set so low on this investigation especially

after all intelligence agencies have said that they're absolutely was no impact on vote tally and there's even disagreement as to whether or not russia did intervene in the u.s. election especially after the d.n.c. now came forward and said that there leaks were not related to a russian hack so i think that that any additional that's a geisha would not only be supposed flu as it would actually be a violation of double jeopardy laws and protections of the constitution and it would amount to nothing more than a witch i think this neo mccarthyism needs to stop your fiance still had. a child's injury is. u.s. troops currently stationed in japan we also talk with the world ice hockey chief about the prospects for russian athletes the winter olympics that's the cup.

just flaccid i discovered about. that was a moment when i saw the body looked like it was about to be destroyed. someone who put themselves on a kiss here are some people struggling full on the kist ideal that. if i didn't somebody with the skill with the ability to go and help those people in the existential struggle in that moment of need then my whole life of not be a hypocrite. would. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. i want to. help you going to be first to see what before you can't be good. interesting always at the water's

edge. hello again with the u.s. military presence in the japanese island of okinawa is again feeling anger among like in the latest in a string of incidents a ten year old boy was injured by of wind that fell off an american helicopter. well at the time of that incident some fifty children were in the school playground woman slightly hurt by that window which landed nearby and waited nearly ten kilos

u.s. marine corps says it has launched an investigation the reverend a chemistry teacher who lives on the island told us why locals are so disgruntled with their american one percent on the t.v. or the mass media they did not begin you will be going on they will be there in the mainland you know this kind of in two days or accidents happening all the time that's kinda gotten my friends here again larry. but only that sit in that was on the rooftop. the science illiterate going outside. we changed to a time when. you need very very people in tokyo or before you know all sorts of people in the mainland. while the presence of the u.s. military in iraq and our has been in the spotlight for more than twenty years and

residents have long demanded a total relocation over the years a number of u.s. service personnel have been accused of killings and rapes on the island. i. was. i was. i was was . he you know have so many crimes the. people. they were a. boy in the name of what are the main reason that we want our u.s. military bases on the island. you know i bet it's small island wary about today and

we don't. need any banks think nothing of it by. accidentally gave that we on the town. francis t. completely ban mobile phones from primary and middle schools from the start of the next academic year they are already in classrooms but now youngsters will be barred from using their devices during breaks or between lessons too and it is proving to be pretty divisive as we heard here on r.t. . they start looking at mobile phone they rely on social media to you seeing the best or worst of people on social media the sort i think why don't they just come i phones and talks about friends during the break time play just do what we all used to do as kids and then take their friends when they go home and just

you know just leave for what six hours you legislating for i think a problem that really doesn't exist i mean i'm twenty five i remember when i was in secondary school and you weren't on your phone the entire time you know when you were in your breaks or other playing football or hanging out with your mates you're trying to deal the problem with being stereotyped by the media about young people constantly being on the phone constantly being hooked on it and it just it's a myth it doesn't really exist actually are rather going to computer in my session to go through that we've got enough computer at the university to not have to rely on phones schools most secondary schools and universities are slightly original most secondary schools can afford. to have laptops or computers in every classroom so having the ability of having students access information online via their phones is quite useful to be honest my class were all quite happy to leave their phones i leave my phone in the office during university time so why can't they do the same and they were kind of in agreement with may interaction between students

and teachers the so important they need to leave their friends at home leave them told to leave the classroom even to break time they need to sort of concentrate on what they're doing with in class time the phone is just a tool technology is not going to suddenly go away. legislating is like being a luddite you know when when the invention of machinery started coming into factories and people were against that the realities of this kind of stuff is happening and people are moving forward and for me schools have to embrace than build it into their education system a lot more than they're doing at the moment telling kids not to do something they will end up doing the complete opposite so it's better to just embrace it and use it as a tool to to expand. well the use of phones in schools is already a controversial topic elsewhere new york city introduced a similar rule back in two thousand and five although it was scrapped ten years later on the grounds that it was preventing parents from contacting their children a recent study though by the london school of economics did find that banning mobiles can improve academic results but under current rules in britain the

decision is left to individual schools. now the twenty eighteen winter olympics will soon kick off in south korea however amid the doping scandal and the the russian flag and anthem banned from the games and it has prompted debate two on whether russian hockey players will be allowed to wear their famous red shirts. i spoke to the international ice hockey federation president a member of the i.o.c. twenty fassel. fifty days before the start of the facing the challenges we have is that. giving a country the right to use the flag of the anthem it's a very very tough position but they i would say i'm very pleased about the attitude from from the other for the racial process of being in the olympics hockey federation they were there all supporting showing support really to the russian

federation and that's for me a very good sign that in you we have this family spirit and that was one of the positive point but as i said the uniform. the flags and everything it suits step by step you know weaving your operation goes and we will follow and we spoke because this is this is a whole jumpsuit. what about the winter olympics without the n.h.l. players and also without the red machine because they will not be able to wear the red jerseys as far as is whether if you don't leave the jersey to be the red machine just be the red machine so. what would you tell the people that are saying that without the n.f.l. players we ice hockey team during the winter olympics is getting somewhat similar to the football team sort of football for an image early on which to been there i don't you know they're not under twenty three so they were actually there would be

the best players outside of the energy so it would be a pretty good hockey tournament. putting the questions there now at finally this hour a robot security guard designed to stop homeless people from settling on private property in san francisco has been booted off the job because locals were getting more than a little nervous when the device began patrolling the surrounding streets take. it.

thanks for being with us see this often and don't forget you can keep cross all these stories too what a website at r.t. dot com i'll be back with more news in about thirty five. credit is one of the basic instruments to drive an economy but it can also lead to tragedy i did it i took a line the whole gist i can be got and that that the debt style game and in the spiral not. many lives have been broken by excessive debt and the banks got you into trouble and all the big bankers got be. on the government about the banks but i just didn't think of the ordinary man who was mourning through the back

a punch how to please yap is the john oliver of r t america is doing the same thing we are apparently better than blues nothing that says i see people you've never heard of love redacted tonight was the president of the world bank no paid. seriously send us an e-mail. time after time when we're going on the run of the day approval of the use of the chemical lifeless age present in the ne a third of all our food and which the world health organization says probably causes cancer is given for another five years by the european union coming up in the show with the toll of dead the injured and the rest of the mounting since

donald trump's decision to move the u.s. embassy to jerusalem what now for palestine we ask its ambassador is in london manuel and what now for israel after the entire world except the usa appears united against the decision to recognize risler as the capital of the jewish state we ask rabbi shmuley boteach. we don't want to see anybody who is homeless or anybody who is speaking rough on our streets shock announcements on the housing from britain's minority government needed to raise and made this christmas all the more coming up in today's going underground first arguably all geopolitical problems are ones that concern capital and this week has seen breathless coverage of the idealistic project bitcoin nebulously credited to toshi nakamoto which seeks to destroy the power off yet capital and central banks controlled by the world's most powerful individuals he has julian assange judged by the un to be arbitrarily detained in a london embassy explaining bitcoins power appearing as

a whole gram you know under lying technology your recording. is cryptography on the one hand. and the ability for cryptography. create. the pain to the people who again even the might of. yes not the usa nor in the middle east israel could defend itself against the power of capital as manifested in bitcoin except that there's another computer associated bitcoin type crypto currency which is we doing better eight thousand percent better than the original bitcoin in terms of return it's called theory and uses bitcoins block change system it's being promoted by companies like accenture the daybreak company from arthur andersen the auditor vendor on the largest corporate bankruptcy in u.s. history the excitement about it is that in a fundamental level it takes us into

a the next phase of what you can do with data why would multinationals argue be connected to the u.s. government down to the twenty eight crisis be interested in crypto currency surely accenture j.p. morgan to his financial giant u.b.s. credit suisse barclay's k b c microsoft and jobs and reuters and interested in reducing the power of the powerful or could these companies use crypto currency to co-opt a revolutionary decentralization to enforce corporate idea checks to threaten marginalized groups when using capital well one person who knows all about id checks on the daily grind of illegal checkpoints is our next guest since u.s. president told trump you know actually recognize jerusalem as the capital of a jewish state in violation of u.n. security council resolutions not a day has gone by without violence in the occupied territories joining me as palestine ambassador to london my role as i asked him about that thanks so much for coming on let's just start off with the scale of the numbers of dead or wounded since all troops decision every day this scale of of or a few no casualties is being intensified because of the anger and draw out of the

palestinian people on such an infamous decision by president israel again blame yes rocket fire. of course this is the excuse that they or the oil always have in the. to justify. a war against the palestinians and you know you asked me about this scale i tell you in the hundreds now and every day the numbers are changing dramatically many are wounded we have many people are killed now hundreds of been hospitalized and the intensity of this conflict is getting worse more and more more and more and more and more because the israelis you know are taking a stand just by brute force to show the palestinians that they control the city and this city of jerusalem is not. the property of israel ok happy with to resume the british prime minister saying it was on helpful it is she said unhelpful and i have received

a call from bert right hon e's the minister for. mena middle east and north africa telling me that the british position has never changed they will never transfer their their embassy or embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem they believe that there is you and there are you under solutions the legality of the status quo of jerusalem they respect that and they believe that the outcome of bilateral negotiations will determine the east jerusalem to be the capital of palestine west jerusalem the cop so he reiterated the international community's position the international legality and he was very sympathetic i mean it to the palestinians and and in particularly he said to me that he was. of course very appreciative of my difficult position today in defending the palestinian cause under the circumstances you know where president trump has you know shown total support an equivocal support to one side by diligent demise in

himself so the british government told you they were going to move the british embassy they told you what they're not ready to do visually what they're going to do about this they said they said you know they will try to best to talk to the european such a chick allies to put pressures on president trump they're not they're totally against what president trump has done he said this is you know at loggerheads with our policy when it comes to jerusalem jerusalem is occupied and nothing should change the facts on the ground so such a decision is not going to help the peace process now this is the position of the united kingdom and they have showed it in the you in brussels you know their position was very clear expositor that they are you know with the legality of the status quo of jerusalem just words are going. hold the palestinian well listen. this is not the first time we discuss such issues the british government in terms of words they have always supported the palestinians like for example they have

voted also in the security council resolution two three three four which you know privates the building of settlements or consider settlements being illegal and they have always said that jerusalem is occupied and that the finest status would be determined by the by the like likely and got it but frankly speaking we haven't seen any kind of pressures being put on israel like for example you know the as for cutting relations really still selling arms to israel but really being only selling arms so and they never got trade relations you know with that with israel and as you know last month in november they have received prime minister netanyahu to mark the years this antenna three of the buffer declaration and they did not rescind from that decision of marking it as you know and of course you know we had our campaign and our our campaign still going on to put pressure on the government to recognize the state of palestine basically and to apologize if you asked the

british government when they made the talk to you about this this is when i say they're going to i said i said and i keep on saying of course we empathize and we thank you for the position concerning crimes decision but when it comes to balfour and are still awaiting your response to the new imminent recognition of course the israelis say jerusalem has been the three thousand years i mean listen if you want to play the biblical prophecy games then we have to admit that god is a real estate agent. i mean the palestinians and before the palaces the cananites were there thousands of years depressed in the present continuously four thousand four hundred years where when when the was jerusalem the capital when was there something called a jewish state in palestine it has always been palestine and if you go to the records of the of the colonial records you can see that the visas given to the

european jews to come to kind of how potent is religion using judaism against christianity and islam. in the current conflict then well actually i wouldn't look at it from that perspective god forbid because we believe in the three monotheistic religions we are not against one religion and the question is a question of nationalism a question of territory that has been occupied we're not talking about their religious war but unfortunately such a declaration for president trump automatically automatically had inflamed the region with religious conflict it's now it's being interpreted as judaism versus christianity and islam and this is not the way we palestinians look at it because we are secular we believe in the minority seek religions these are but a hammock of religions and we respect them our problem is with zionism our problem

is with colonialism our problem is with occupation president trump cannot legit demise the occupation of is jerusalem and give it on a golden platter like what balfour did in the past trump is doing it now you know so history is repeating itself would not going to sit i didn't accept it now i want to get on award what you're going to do and we're going to speak to revelation. one of the most famous rabbis in the united states you know ask him about this to israel is not sat idly by since the wrong decision it is now threatening to be. bomb the entire nation of lebanon back into the stone age i mean just how dangerous are things right now in the middle east i'm going to ask him about the nuclear weapons yes it is well actually actually actually the middle east has been a volatile region for a long period of time and you know the question between his barlow and that of lebanon is is quite a vibrant question it has never subsided and as the as well as support are there

immediately or has as was only us of course have mass hezbollah now listen what happened basically with this decision by trumpet this statement it united it made all defections consensual you know she our sunni what that now you're talking about islam as a religion you talk about the christians also they have high stakes more than two billion christians are by stakes in the old city of jerusalem where all the religious. is going on in battle in jerusalem in hellhole in hebron in nablus in gaza it's continuous now what i'm trying to say even this statement legally on the ground is a hollow promise but it has shown the true colors of the united states in totally shifting from being an honest broker of peace into being totally with the side of the occupier don't you have a problem because that alone whether it arguably embolden emboldens the extremists

. you're taking cash from the israelis you're still dealing or you're leader of us are still dealing with the israelis not both of the world is going about a new interface. a new war to uphold those u.n. security council resolution president abbas now that is no kind of any contacts with israelis no security collaboration no contacts whatsoever the president today is in the situation where he has to pursue now that a cognition of more governments more states to the palestinian status as a state in the united. nations he is going to pursue international organizations to see how we can reverse the decision of president but through the international law through the legality system you know the international legality system so he is pursuing such such steps now isn't a two state solution dead because jerusalem obviously if trump is intentions

actually carry out and the embassy is moved the two state solution anyway none of these illegal settlers were going to leave isn't it no one state solution i said i said and i would say again what president has done was a kiss of death to the two state solution and to answer the question on the issue of never gives money to the palestinians these are tax revenues they collect on behalf of the police and this is part of the palace protocol where the israelis because they control the borders they are collect tax from palestinians on goods and what have you and every every two three months there that that tax money goes to the palestinians it is our money is another invested one penny in the occupied territories is only invest millions in building settlements but we never get money from the israelis as a matter of fact do or opinions are shouldered in very sponsibility of the occupier in paying the the money for the palestinians this is representing the british government yes is a virus.
