6:02 pm
we are still on the freezone and tensions are increasing the israeli army are throwing tear gas bombs as you can see actually rates of tear gas but they're also troubling like when it. was you can see. bombs are fanning the flames people are running. and the little kids here taking the danger enough i don't know. i understand the warning there were lots of protests and demonstrations all over gaza strip there was a million mark the because teams actions and palestinian leaders come out of their supporters and the palestinian citizens to come to the confrontation to the convent with the israelis over against expressed anger against the terms of the siege and meanwhile protesters in bethlehem witnessed something you perhaps wouldn't normally expect to see on the frontline an elderly lady stepping in to try and break up the

violence. i'm joined. now by . per person ian demonstrations are being held worldwide including in several european states hundreds demonstrated in berlin on friday local police banned american and israeli flags at the protest after many were such a light in previous rallies while in athens protesters marched towards the u.s. embassy and this jacqueline figure explains the scandal over donald trump's decision on jerusalem has led to unexpected diplomatic consequences opponents deep in the middle east has seen saudi arabia and israel gravitate towards each other over a mutual dislike of your and. it's very clear we israel and saudi arabia are practically
6:04 pm
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 chorus of condemnation saying east jerusalem should be recognized as the palestinian capital
6:05 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 its own bill to condemn trans colander reform and it was there that saudi arabia reversed back to being on the same side with iran and against israel. with the majority of arabs states actually. establishing a certain alliance between them and is that in the pretext of facing the iranian
6:06 pm
threat 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 disorder 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 their to the 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. 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 television should there be
6:07 pm
a peace agreement with the palestinians but the question remains will forty rabia find a way to keep everyone happy and if not who will be left out one cold this time. it'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 backtrack 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 acts of provoke ations the deep it's a disposable nuclear power. use a lot instead. of 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 right now yes we continue to
6:08 pm
open the city and the political the country cutting off support for missile programs it is impossible to solve your problem of resolving the crisis the meeting is our john. also at the beefing the u.s. secretary of state accuse china and russia of undermining pace efforts saying they need to put more pressure on pyongyang despite moscow and beijing having proposed a plan aimed at the fusing the situation the so-called double freeze would see north korea sees only a clear test in exchange for the u.s. and south korea and the military exercises on the north doorstep but it didn't seem to a pill to secretary to listen you've heard others have called for a freeze for freeze we do not accept a freeze for freeze as a precondition to talks i think president trump is about negotiating and how that works the reason you have to sit down to sit down to demand that the parties sit
6:09 pm
down unconditionally i mean you have to remember the united states has. south korea and japan and just a few countries have never even recognized 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. austria has formed a new coalition government and is now the only country in western europe to have a far right party in power we are already has the world's youngest leader and kurds and his people's party will now be joined in wooing by the anti migration anti

freedom party claimed victory in october's election winning over a third of seats in parliament but to form a majority government he sought out the freedom party a partnership now see old despite fears of a backlash from the rest of europe the austrian. president hu's pro e.u. approved the coalition walls are going to protect ties with brussels. we discussed among other things the fact that it is in austria's interest to remain at the heart of a strong european union and to participate actively in its future developments as well as to respect fundamental rights such as the european convention on human rights which must remain our compass so this change in austria continues a trend of rightwing sentiment being boosted around europe earlier this year in france a national front leader marine le pen came second in the presidential race and that's politician get the villagers took a third of all the votes in this year's parliamentary elections in the netherlands

while in neighboring germany a right wing party one seat in the bundestag for the very first time in two thousand and seventeen. left leaning author ins already organizing protests against the new government with the biggest one expected on monday and when it believes that the dail will be met with danger as if there are three in other countries too i expect that most european governments will harshly criticize austria in the coming months and years for their government policies largely because they are afraid of similar coalitions in their countries for i think that this signals real change in course of austria and also for the whole europe it's quite an interesting signal because for example in germany it would be unthinkable so far that there is a government coalition between the conservative party the c.d.u. c.s.u. and the right wing a f d so austria in this sense is pioneering
6:12 pm
a german speaking. area and i think it will have a strong signal towards the european union in terms of immigration policy and also in terms of integration policies as the f.b.i. is rather critical part regards to european integration. f.b.i. files have revealed that the agency is former director james comey 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 and here's just some of what they found. furthur that were repeated edits to reduce hillary clinton's culpability additionally that were references removed about the intelligence community's role in identifying vulnerabilities on the senate committee picked up on a downgrade of likely hall style act is that may have penetrated secretary

6:14 pm
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 was investigated in two and he was investigating and working on programmer three before he was fired over those text messages republicans obviously were not pleased with pretty safe to say that the first three investigations were a mass but congress has come up with a solution in a second special counsel to look into. looking to peter straw bruce for everything else we've learned the last several weeks you guessed it more investigations. are seeing new york and accident involving a military helicopter has reignited anger over the u.s. presence in japan we've got our story and more still to come stay with us.

6:23 pm
haven't chain and that means it is time to review the most censored stories of the year according to the nonpartisan group project censored of course if our mainstream media actually did their job there would be no need for project censored over. or even for exactly the night for that matter so i'm actually hoping my show goes off the air i'm hoping i'm hoping one day i started to show i walked out of the. c.n.n. covered it all they got it all. good try again. something tells me i have a little more job security and. i don't have much time to get into all of the enough time to get into all the twenty five stories but here are a few of the most important widespread lead contamination threatens children's health we all know about flint michigan lead poisoning the fetal death rate in
6:24 pm
flint has gone up fifty eight percent in the past three years but luckily much of america is showing solidarity with flint by getting our own lead poisoning everywhere from cleveland to baltimore to failure to texas children are testing positive for a high lead levels the c.d.c. estimates that two and two point five percent of all u.s. children under the age of six have elevated blood lead levels and the regulatory agencies that are supposed to stop this type of thing don't give us because they've been captured by the industries and having a population dealing with lead poisoning is actually good for our rulers when you're when you when i are struggling with with that kind of stuff when we aren't standing up getting angry protests as you are you get you're not getting overly educated and studying ways to fight back right here here's.
6:25 pm
here's how they view us normally this is another view of the population ma'am ma'am ma'am i'm an equal rights man and i am now here's you on lead. good for them for us relies on an estimated one point two million miles of lead pipes and much of this aging infrastructure is reaching or has exceeded its lifespan you know some people compare our country to the roman empire and our collapse is beginning to look very similar but at least the ancient romans did stuff themselves full a lad oh a own way yes they did. the romans actually were dogs have lead pipes and scientists have found that tap water from ancient rome contained up to all hundred times more lead the local spring water the only difference between us and them is a leak romans drank from the lead pipes nowadays are leads don't care about our
6:26 pm
collapsing infrastructure because they are using it as well drink out of the tap of them they would sooner stop dog food up there knowing. they don't need to water the public transit of public schools they privatized their world and now they're letting our world collapse while they spend every one of our tax dollars on military next up there was a major voter's impression in the twenty sixteen presidential election meaning or election was not legit also heavily censored this year the d.n.c. claimed the right to select the presidential candidate and ignore what the voters want which means our twenty sixteen election was not legit also in the most sense are big data and dark money was behind the twenty sixteen election which we enjoyed twenty sixteen election was not j.s.
