sure. to do that. in the west bank violence broke out after the funeral of one of the victims killed in front as protests palestinians threw rocks at the israeli security forces responded with tear gas and rubber bullets journalist in could be following. the free zone and tensions are increasing that israeli army are throwing tear gas bombs as you can see actually raids of tear gas but they're also telling lies but it's the. eyes you can see. bombs are fanning the flames people are. taking. thank you enough

friday at local german police bonds american on this relief lines at the protest after many were set alight at previous rallies while on the right of your screen there it often is protester 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
5:04 pm
a thought backed by its arch rivals in tehran we condemned the us decision on jerusalem because of its great bias against the historical and permanent rights of the palestinian people in jerusalem or yet as i have made every possible step must be taken to prevent the implementation of this illegal action by the us administration however there is one action that sticks out what factors and elements made it possible for the us presidents today to take such an outrageous act. so as saudi arabia got cozy with israel and balanced ties with regional muslim allies turkey jumped in with present aired on gathering muslim nations and it's time to condemn terms colander reform and it was there that saudi arabia reversed back to being on the same side with the ram and against israel. with the majority of out up states actually heading towards establishing a certain alliance between them and in the pretext of facing the iranian threat
5:05 pm
this alliance is pushed forward by the united states of america as part of its good and strategy so does support of donald trump's move because they want to do so and get that 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 in 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
5:06 pm
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. there's been a tense exchange at the u.n. security council with the u.s. and north korea trading accusations america's top diplomat rex tillerson appeared to buck track on a previous offer to start talks with pyongyang without preconditions to end the ongoing crisis we will not accept a nuclear north korea north career has been escalating it's outrageous act provoke ations the deep it's a disposable nuclear power and. the. global threat knows korea also threatens to shatter the foundation of international nonproliferation regime will further isolate north korea politically and economically there is no
5:07 pm
company right now yes we need to continue to open a thirty three and the political the companies cutting off support and ports unlawful nuclear missile possible 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 wants to find a peaceful way of crisis the meeting is our john. also of the meeting the u.s. secretary of state accuse china and russia of undermining peace efforts saying they need to put more pressure on being helping propose the plan aimed defusing this situation the so-called double freeze would see north korea cease all nuclear tests in exchange for the u.s. and south korea ending their military exercises on the north's door step but it didn't seem to appeal to secretary tillerson you heard others have called for
5:08 pm
a 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 has. south korea and japan and just to have never even recognized the right of north korea to go diplomatic relations so consequently till there is a resolution to this issue so that we can to another of our headlines stories austria has formed then you have a far right party in power vienna already has the world's youngest leader thirty one year old sebastian kurtz and his people's party will not be joined in ruling by

5:11 pm
files have revealed that the agency's former director james komi 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 here's just some of what they found first there were repeated edits to reduce hillary clinton's culpability additionally there were references removed by the intelligence community role in identifying vulnerabilities in the senate committee picked up on a dying breed of likely hostile actors 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 team into allegations of collusion between team and russian hill about been breaks all done for us. it turns out the detective work is
5:12 pm
not only for the f.b.i. at this point many different u.s. institutions are engaged in investigations and it can get pretty confusing from pressure investigating a criminal investigation into president trump for possible obstruction of justice i grew up with the clinton investigation the best. twenty ten year rhenium deal that involved russia. 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 were 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 exchanged pro clinton and anti trump text messages with his colleague text messages between the f.b.i. agent peter struck and his f.b.i.
5:13 pm
lawyer girl for at least a page it shows a very real and major and teatro. bias 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. one of the just happened to our country what happens when people who are supposed to curate the conflict of interest have even greater conflicts of interest than those in reply. that's not a good question at this point it's pretty safe to say that the first three
