they sent to a convent with the israelis against expressed anger against the terms decision. pro palestinian demonstrations are being held worldwide including several european states hundreds demonstrated in berlin this friday local police burned american and israeli flags at the protest after many were so so fire previous rallies also in athens protest as the march towards the u.s. embassy in the greek capital and next a jackal a verger explains the scandal over troubles jerusalem decision has led to an expected diplomatic consequences but the power landscape in the middle east has seen saudi arabia and israel gravitate towards each other over a mutual dislike of beer and it's very clear we israel and saudi arabia are practically on the same side all sunni countries are against iran and while both countries and i having any official diplomatic channels whispers are growing behind the scenes about the extent of their cooperation last month an israeli military chief of staff was quoted as saying he was on the exact same page with the saudis

when it concerns you or am i was sitting there listening to the remarks of a saudi general feeling like it could have been me saying the exact same thing it was like he was reading my own overview of the situation. so a definite psychic bond building there that was until trump threw a wrench in the works by recognizing jerusalem as israel's capital therefore i have determined that it is time to officially recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel saudi arabia joined to the muslim world of course of condemnation saying east jerusalem should be recognized as the palestinian capital a thought backed by its arch rivals in tehran we can examine the us decision on jerusalem because of its great bias against the historical and permanent rights of the palestinian people jerusalem yet as a mediator all every possible step must be taken sick preventing the implementation of this illegal action by the us administration however there is one question that

sticks out here which works factors and never once made it possible for the us presidents to take such an outrageous i was saudi arabia got cozy with israel and balanced ties with regional muslim allies turkey jumped in with present and won gathering muslim nations and its own bill to condemn terms colander islam and it was there that saudi arabia reversed back to being on the same side with the ram and against israel. with the majority if you're fed up states actually. establishing a certain alliance between them and is that in the pretext of facing the iranian threat this alliance is pushed forward by the united states of america a spot of its good and. so this is supposed to donald trump's move because they want to do so and get it all of the palestinian cause and as as an obstacle towards establishing an alliance with israel however they cannot be open in that of

a position because this would embarrass them throughout the islamic world and now the region is again left on a precipice where sides will eventually need to be taken israel is attempting to calm the waters by saying they're ready to settle the issue. with palestine and have invited riyadh into the peace process i suggest that saudi arabia as the leader of the arab world take upon itself this initiative and go to the palestinians and offer their patronage they all too weak they need someone to help them king solomon should come give patronage to and lead to peace initiative with the palestinians and the u.s. meanwhile the saudi foreign minister says the kingdom has a road map to establish full diplomatic ties with tel of eve should there be a peace agreement with the palestinians but the question remains will saudi arabia find a way to keep everyone happy and if not who will be left out one cold this time. also this weekend there's been a tense exchange here in security council as the u.s. and north korea traded accusations america's top diplomat rex tillerson put

a backtrack on a previous offer to start talks with pyongyang without preconditions to try to end the ongoing crisis we will marty except a nuclear north korea north career has been escalating it's outrageous act provocations the deep it's a disposable nuclear power and. the. global threat north korea also threatens to shatter the foundation of international nonproliferation regimes will further isolate north korea politically and economically there is no country likely yes we do continue to all police and the political other countries in cutting off support and funds for its own lawful nuclear and missile programs it is impossible to solve the nuclear problem on the korean peninsula just the sanctions and pressure on pyongyang north korea must on its way back to the table.

the pressure kerry campaign must and will continue all of this makes you wonder whether the west even wants to find a peaceful way of resolving the crisis the meeting is our john. also at the meeting the u.s. secretary of state accuse china and russia of undermining peace efforts saying they need to put more pressure on those despite moscow and beijing though having already proposed one plan which could defuse the situation the idea was rejected by secretary tell us and though from the offset the so-called double freeze would see north korea cease all nuclear tests in exchange for the u.s. and south korea and in their military exercises on pyongyang's door step. you heard others are called for freeze for freeze we do not accept a freeze for freeze as a precondition to talks i think president trump is demonstrating real ignorance about negotiating and how that works the reason you have to sit down is to avoid these kind of problems not set preconditions international community needs to do

more to put pressure on the parties to sit down to demand 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 recognize the right of north korea to exist has not has not recognized 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 demilitarisation of the korean peninsula. f.b.i. files have revealed that the agency's former director james komi had his statements on hillary clinton's misuse of a private e-mail server heavily edited a u.s. senate committee has been reviewing some of the changes to the documents is just

what they found first there were repeated edits to reduce hillary clinton's culpability the side that they're also references removed from the intelligence communities role in identifying vulnerabilities as it was put and the senate committee picked up on a downgrade of likely a hostile act as that may have penetrated secretary clinton's e-mails and here's the twist some of the agents involved in the editing were also part of the investigation into allegations of collusion between trump and russia pelham open breaks it all down. 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 pressure of us we could bring a criminal investigation into president trump for possible obstruction of justice i would hope with the clinton investigation the best. twenty ten year rhenium deal that involved russia and i'm 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 cure really calm. ventures and of even greater conflicts of interest in those they replied that's not a rhetorical 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 drop bruce or everything else we've learned the last several weeks you guessed it more investigations. are seeing new york us political commentator joan griffin believes

more investigations of pointless that were may even be illegal 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 vesta geisha would not only be support flew us it would actually be a violation of double jeopardy laws and protections in the constitution and it would amount to nothing more than a witch hunt i think this neo mccarthyism needs to stop. this christmas and the holiday season will close and most people who want to go the trees and lights up i'll have a choice of decorations or one house and latvia is leaving many locals. comfortable .

it's got no place here but you can see what it looks like little flecks people should use their brains and looks like the british museum in an attempt at that the fire crows does look like the symbol of the fascists used but every single comes from the past and it depends on how other people interpret them. so it doesn't bother me what each person sees depends on what they know about the subject but i can't say i like it people who know about symbol say the sign can protect your home but how can pass take any daylight stuck to a metal frame for tax anything. from schools ago and hands free or mobile phones for next year with the pros and cons of buying the devices off the brick.

what's a quid pro quo for people who are happy to pay the maximum in the extortion racket that the drug and insurance companies got the government to impose an unconstitutional tax called the bomb of care is that they are bought in to america's various foreign policies raped and pillaged for a few bucks that's the foreign policy or to pharmaceutical companies created opiate crisis domestically you don't hear anyone questioning that us n.b.c. or c.n.n. b.c. or any of the mainstream media outlets they all buy into it they get paid a lot of money they'll pay the stipend to the health extortionist and the obamacare folks as long as they push the line that there is still an active non ghostlike population that's crawling around america fishing through garbage pails living on five dollars a day entering the third world and trying to game the system twenty four so.

join me every thursday on the alex i'm unsure when i'll be speaking to guess what the world the olympics school i'm show business i'll see you then. you know the u.s. military presence in the japanese island of okinawa is again fueling anger among locals there in the latest string of incidents a ten year old boy was injured by a window that fell through american helicopter. at the time of the incident some fifty children were in the school playground at the time one was slightly hurt by the window which landed nearby and wait nearly ten kilos the u.s.

marine corps says it's mostly investigation as for the reverend come ishita who lives on the island he told us why locals are so disgruntled with their american neighbors right now on the t.v. or in the mass media. not big news when the going on anybody day in the mainland you know this kind of into them or accidents happening all the time that's kinda god and my friend you are the very are there but only. on the rooftops the science building going outside. we. can do it and we know. that if they were in tokyo or talk to people in the many lies. the presence of u.s. military base in okinawa has been in the spotlight for more than twenty years 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 that island. we're. going to. get. her out. of. the you know how so many crying the. day they wake. up in the name of what. the main reason that we want our u.s. military bases on the island. of you know i bet a small island where you got a day and we don't. need any bank you think nothing of it saying babydol

gibson accidentally gave out that he that like we understand. from sis to completely ban mobile phones from primary and middle schools from next of temperance president emanuel micro comes go to one of his election promises phones are already forbidding classrooms but now youngsters are going to be barred from using their devices during breaks too and they found out the starting with the phones are a distraction or useful tool is proving divisive. 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 our phones and talks about friends during the break time play just do what we all used to do as kids and then take their phones when they go home and just you know just leave for what six hours you're 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 on your breaks your 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 richer 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 you know why can't they do the same and they were kind of in agreement with may interaction between students and teachers and so important they need to leave the friends at home leave them to leave the classroom even to break time they need to sort of concentrate on

what they're doing with their time their fun is just a tool technology is not just 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 that can be opposite so it's better to just embrace it and use it as a tool to to expand. french officials have called the issue a matter of public health it's been a controversial topic worldwide already new york city for instance introduced a similar band way back in two thousand and five but ten years on it was scrapped because of safety concerns raised by parents the school of economics the schools that do. better academic results in britain under current rules the decision is left to individual schools. twenty eighteen winter olympics will soon kick

off in south korea however of course amid the doping scandal the russian flag and russian anthem are banned from those games and it's prompted debate to now on whether russian hockey players will be allowed to wear their famous red shirts or not are to sleep or trying to spoke to international ice hockey federation president a member of the i.o.c. ready for. fifty days before the start of the facing the challenges we have. giving a country the right to use the flag of the anthem it's a very very tough position but they i was am very pleased about the attitude from from the other federation going in the olympics hockey federation they were there all supporting me and showing support really to the russian i said that's for me a very good sign that in ice hockey we have this family spirit and that was one of the positive points but as i said the uniform. the flags and

everything it's step by step you know weaving your operational guidelines and we will follow and we spoke because this is this is our job. 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 it is what it is you don't need 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 the ice hockey team during the winter olympics is getting somewhat similar to the football team. to mature and beyond that which have been there are under twenty three so they were actually there will be the best players outside of the energy so it would be a pretty good hockey tournament. but it was talking to. a robot security guard designed to reduce crime and protect private property has been wreaking havoc in

san francisco the so-called canine bots now unemployed terrified locals on patrol. well a missile is quite cute but she needs this out thanks for watching out international

i'm kevin irwin here a moscow h.q. but with more in thirty minutes you can follow us on facebook or twitter or weekends going good. 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 came to god and meant that the text i came to and in the spiral not. many lives have been broken my excess in the banks got you into trouble and all the big bankers come be. on the government by the banks but i just didn't think of the ordinary men who lost money through the back.

creditors people see no future bad things happen you know you become ill get into a job your relationship breaks down you become a casualty is dead on life long truck or is there a way out of those actually come to a bit of you know would like to ditch a bill for so much risk and somewhat. old because vessel only forty a day play a short tournament. a minute's ask you all your life time you bought it all it's everyone so make you wife whatever somehow six times well it's a list of a story. this

is broadcasting around the world from washington d.c. and beyond this is me coming up what does the future hold for now it's been months since at last made headlines in mexico is allegedly exploring other options one expert will tell us what he thinks will happen plus we'll hear from our correspondent alex mann hell of it in toronto and how businesses in canada are preparing for different outcomes now let's get to today's top business and financial headlines. on friday leaders from across the european union agreed to move forward to the next round of breck's at talks the first issue to be discussed early next year will be a two year transition period after the u.k. formally exit by march officials are hoping to begin security and trade talks at a press conference european commission president john claude younker expressed his optimism about peace for negotiations. the first. issue is the

graph. we have the most. political text putting to go to. do that. this will be done in the cool of the next weeks and. our aim is to have you through a few floated to build two thousand and eighteen and i'm convinced. that we'll be. he was joined by european council president donald tusk who later congratulated british prime minister theresa may on twitter for making it to the second phase following the announcement may called the progress and important step on the road to delivering a smooth and orderly breck said i'm pleased to it's been agreed we should make rapid progress on the implementation period which will give certainty to businesses and individuals the still more to do. but we're well on the road to delivering a bricks that will make bush and prosperous strong and secure according to the most

recent e.u. guidelines the u.k. will remain under the jurisdiction of the european court of justice during the transition period and more significantly the so-called divorce bill will be determined as soon as possible. along with other notable trade deals president trump has put the future of the north american free trade agreement into question leaders met in washington this week to continue the discussion on it but as time passes canada and mexico are putting their energy toward other alternatives to talk more about this we're joined now by men well. associate fellow at the institute for policy studies many well it seems like nafta has sort of fallen off the media map because we know so much has been going on in washington recently to say the least so can you just give us a refresher first i mean where are we at in the point of negotiations well it's difficult to know where we are because in there was sufficient are being done in

secret behind doors behind the public behind the pris i'm behind the legislators as well we know though that they're very delayed there's only a couple of chapters that are like the low fruit that have been back to the ready for there are the most controversial chapters are completely late they wanted the newest shooters to finish their negotiation by the end of the year they haven't been able to do so so the negotiations will be carried out until the next year what they wanted was to avoid spoke from the you was in mexico and as time passes the negotiations start getting closer to those elections so it sounds like there is a lot of uncertainty a lot of uncertainty well recently there was a house subcommittee hearing on nafta and leaders from all different sectors and government got together to talk about what they think we should do about nafta and so i want to take a listen to what the vice president of the council of the americas had to say. now

has directly supported mexico's democratic transformation while also establishing a framework of trust supporting close u.s. cooperation across a range of security issues including counter narcotics counterterrorism and migration so i thought that was pretty interesting i mean when we think about nafta we just think about trade and the economy.
