at the top. i. was. in the week's top stories from our anger rages for a second week in the wake of donald from his decision to recognize jerusalem as israel's capital clashes between palestinians and israeli police caused deaths and injuries. presently posting kickstarts withdrawal of russian troops from syria during a surprise visit after a minute she declare isis the fleet in the country and a damning human rights all condemns the e.u. for complicity in the use and exploitation of migrants trying to reach europe from libya.

but i welcome the latest developments in a look back at what's been happening over the last seven days to you watching weekly here on r.t. international. now deadly violence between palestinians and israeli security forces still shows little sign of abating it follows donald trump's incendiary decision earlier this month to recognize the disputed city of jerusalem as israel's capital . city ok. i. think. it's right oh yeah there's parts that are feeling that place. was i. i .

we are still not here as buffer zone and tensions are to be cut to take at least. i. hope well throughout the week we have been hearing impassioned reaction to the resurgence of violence in the region. people can open the bible and to count how many times jerusalem is invention there they will find out also that jerusalem is not mentioned even one time in the koran not even one time people will find out that jerusalem is the capital of israel since nine hundred forty eight the whole world is condemning this action because simply it's against the international law

it's and against the framework for the peace process is has forfeited the united states who fitted its position as a broker to the peace process and i tell you something the israelis have killed four palestinians in the past two days in peaceful protests while no israeli was killed there was an injury in an attack in and west jerusalem everything is a lie first everything my appalling says is a lie there were three terrorists killed in gaza strip which has nothing to do with the protests here because gaza strip they fired rockets and they forget about it they just forget that they fire rockets at israeli kindergarten when people who fall off followers of hijab in that whole say name hitler skull operator of the ring cycle of world war those who created fatah before nine hundred sixty seven to destroy israel when this resists the said personalities common to teach us morality

listen it cannot be defended themselves why they are illegally on somebody else's land that is unacceptable what they done what they do and what i have been doing since one thousand nine hundred seven is an aggression and with your other guests this radical has never been to your land never been your land then the history of those land they were born in russia donald trump. kept his promises and his trying to do it his best way are grateful but the issues not donald trump they issue as these people go wrong. in the says europeans russians americans and we are here in libya the east the only democracy of the only. really a light in a very dark environment. well reaction to the president has reverberated throughout the muslim world where leaders have lambasted his quote no and fully

decision the organization of islamic cooperation convened an emergency session in turkey on wednesday kornfield international community to recognize them as the palestinian capital. to secure your rousseau them because the great chorus historical and coming on this if you will is important i want to point out to ignore some of the distortions in. the united states to recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel is a dangerous one it will threaten the security and stability restraints efforts to resume the peace process the president is committed to this peace process as committed as he has ever been born yet to me in every possible step must be taken sick prevent the implementation of this illegal action by the u.s. administration however there is one question that sticks out here what is it possible for the u.s.

president's trip to take such an outrageous act that type of rhetoric that we've heard has prevented peace in the past and it's not necessarily surprising to us well despite the heavy criticism from arab leaders and also european allies president trump does not seem concerned expects. well it's now the time of year in which israel celebrates hanukkah and this comes after donald trump's dramatic decision on jerusalem which may seem like a huge gift we a very happy hanukkah. and i think this one will go down as especially special. right now i'm thinking about what's going on and the love that's all over his you know. all about jerusalem love that's all over israel trump one is far is actually praising himself for the all but controversial move his point his predecessors only made promises where he

actually delivered. jerusalem is still the capital of israel and most remain unknown divided city accessible to design take office i will begin the process of moving the united states ambassador to the city in israel and shows. i continued to say that. jerusalem will be the capital of israel so why is tom so gleeful about his decision as the international community praised him for it nope they did just decision we do know and agree clearly disagree these decisions i'm hopeful from the european union member states sites this move will not come so is it what the american people want well not according to this poll taken ahead of trump's decision sixty three percent of americans say that they oppose the move but it's popular in israel right well not with all israelis they think of only friends leave in years and they. are in much greater risk than they were with i think it will because of. people dead and. violence

i think it was a reckless this season and it takes less time to announce it is like a man who was playing in a coma defeated or in the. in gangsta. so it's taking us three still suddenly and is shooting over friends told me that day he announces that they're pretty much scared to go but the drizzle in the can be done the house going to be under scared to leave the house says but trump did win over some of his harsh critics in the democratic camp. jerusalem is the capital of the state of israel something the united states congress has reaffirmed and a fact of history that cannot be tonight. i support the decision to recognize jerusalem as the eternal capital of israel and to move the u.s. embassy that this decision is long overdue and help correct a decades long indignity there may be benefits for him personally may be

a tipping his hat to his base and saying you know this is a campaign promise that i made he sees it more important for his personal legacy for his supporters to do this regardless of its effect on world opinion regardless of its effect on the united states and world opinion and regarding the suffixes on the palestinian. people the world is not happy with the move america is not happy with the move but donald trump thinks it's terrific a year ago at his inauguration donald trump said that from here forward it would be america first well it's starting to look like maybe it's trump first. r.t. new york. well during the unrest there was a rare sight in bethlehem because an elderly woman decided enough was enough and stepped in to try and break up some street violence. after the.

number. killed. little but. the russian troops are returning home from syria after president putin announced it was mission accomplished during a surprise visit to a base there on monday the unannounced visit was the russian leaders first trip to the country putin told military personnel at the attack ia air base their work was complete after the russian defense ministry had early declared islamic state is now defeated in syria. but only to the defense minister and the head of the general staff order the start so he will draw all of the russian forces to their permanent base and if the terrorists are to raise their heads again we will strike back with the strengths there's never seen before so here's a quick reminder of events that in twenty fifteen when islamic state was on the

rise and controlled half of syria damascus asked for moscow's help in the fight against think stream is using syrian intelligence the russian air force then launched surgical strikes on terrorist positions and that dealt a significant blow against isis infrastructure one of the main reasons for the campaign success many other forces have also joined efforts to liberate cities and land i. i think i.

feel it. but although the defeat of iceland is a common victory that does seem to be one country trying to steal the show perhaps is any to now his thoughts on the. everyone's taking credit for ridding syria of isis he's going to go to the locals to get out soon you know it's a. great job russia but not everyone is give you props one of the. general managers for doing such a great job with respect to this he's not there hello. or so made it possible with what i've let you do i think check your sources russia the top of the far north of the thread you. love lucy you support. today some of paul. did. it because you can but but you do you like

it i want to keep all these moves along the deal. you only join the war two years ago by invitation from the president and are already claiming victory us and stayed in power that's a total loss as far as we see it true wins mean the fall of ruthless dictators triumphant victories over evil and a long stay after the battle is over russia is already pulling out troops fell now we should keep in mind that the us played in porton role in combat in the terrorist sometimes by simply giving moderate rebels arms and training or for example when they let thousands of isis terrorists flee iraq or to battle assad in syria under a secret u.s. approved deal america has nothing to celebrate in syria the plan didn't work keep bragging about your accomplishments in afghanistan iraq and libya and if you can

stay in syria another ten years it might just be a real win. in other news this week british lawmakers gave prime minister to resign may of bricks bruising on wednesday after voting to give parliament the final say over any deal struck on leaving the eleven rebels from within her own conservative party broke ranks to give them pays the power to veto any exit agreement. 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 amendment seven is floor is just my view the rule should some productive negotiations to drag things out drag out the negotiations to delay

project for months and months and months scrutinize what's of the government is doing proper scrutiny this is not the moment to try and defeat because it was. just. well it has been eighteen months since the referendum so fifty two percent of voters choose to leave the european union although the poll showed a sharp divide between britain's regions which wanted to remain but it was only in march this year that the government kicked off that the exit process and the often strained negotiations from brussels which followed opposition leader here jeremy corbyn said m.p.'s delivered a humiliating loss of authority for the government and that power is now back in the hands of parliament that's despite the prime minister earlier claiming the government's strategy was on track. there is my belief a new sense of optimism now in the tour and i are.

tired. that we will confirm the arrangements i have set out in the european place in history while tourism a might of secured a better result in the house of commons had she not lost her party's majority in the snap election gamble earlier this year she only managed to stay in power with a one billion pound deal to secure parliamentary support from m.p.'s from the northern irish democratic party political writer dan glazebrook says tourism a can no longer overlook the deep divisions within their own party. yes the humiliation and has authority 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 think that the government government is really up for grabs and 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 just defeat to resist making this into a legally binding commitment this is the first defeat little of completely mine to call the labor party because although on the labor jeremy famously bricks and most of his political careers differences within his own body the conservative worry is split very much split over bricks itself and to resume a thought that you could fudge the issues and somehow make a deal between different rival factions or own party and tonight it's failed it's clear that european leaders will see this is 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. now the so plenty to come here on the weekly including a major repeat for europe over the piece of migrants and also the american policeman. after fatally shooting

a man might have it in their stories just after the break. hey everybody i'm stephen bob taft hollywood guy you'll suspect every proud american first of all i'm just george bush and r.v.'s to suggest this is my buddy max the famous financial guru well she's a little bit different i've got a good one though no one knows up with all the drama happening in our country and i'm shooting the brood have fun meet everyday americans. and look silly start to bridge the gap this is the great american people. hold because crystal only forty years they play a short tournament. i'm

a chasse you all your life by beautiful part of the olympics they've won so make you wife whatever somehow six times well it's a list of the story. hello again welcome back to the weekly now in a report released on tuesday amnesty international accuses european governments of condoning the detention and abuse of migrants trying to reach europe from libya he believes they knowingly complexity in a system of abuse and torture all the refugees and my friends say. because they know exactly what is going on there and they have chosen to support. the seasteading of the tension and that view of migrants without putting in place that any safeguards with more on those accusations his.

last year member states launched a series of measures aimed at cutting off the central mediterranean route through libya but to report by amnesty international says that these steps are in fact actively supporting a system of exploitation and abuse of the vulnerable people they should be helping and they have video evidence to back their claims to these are rescue boats that either countries supplied to the libyan coast guard to intercept migrants at sea honesty says that this is the moment someone that had been rescued was thrown overboard and towed along the sea while here we see someone else being whipped. thank you it was she was i was struck i was my i

was my. this particular boat was donated by italy i can april and was handed over to the libyan coast guard in a ceremony attended by the italian interior minister who'd have thought it would one day be the focal point of accusations of human rights violations and then there's the detention center after being rescued at sea migrants are taken to the society's run by the libyan department for combat saying illegal migration with the full support of e.u. countries in the words of amnesty is heavier than they are exposed to a soul destroying cycle of exploitation and it's a cause for what reason thought uprising to all our producers for business in libya to kill some people this or some people would be some poor dear departed chicago. unfortunately it's. used going to be tossed out for initiative it's going to be

tossed before so as to snoop it was sort of water to drink for limited to us and the. level of abuse is. horrific. do these people living here. do these normal or food the provided that unless you can pay for it would be reviewed several people who. said that the way to the why their families were on the phone in order to extort the money for the torture to stop and for them to be released and and this is just the ordinary daily life in these santas the rights group wants european go. meant to rethink their cooperation with libya when it comes to migration is that if they continue to support libya north dorothy's european governments are laying bare what their true priority is putting the closure of the central mediterranean route before the welfare of the little

people meanwhile in its own reports the european commission has evaluated the block's programs in libya stressing the need to tackle smuggling and human trafficking in the country it does go on to say that the efforts have had a strong human rights component and are being conducted in cooperation with the un refugee agency we did get in touch with several institutions to over the allegations against the governments including the italian foreign ministry on reply we did get this from the un secretary general is deputy spokesperson and he expressed concern over the situation in libya and stressed the need to for the proper research element of migrants we also heard back from oxfam which says that while it can't comment on amnesty is findings its own information indicates the report does hold water or that to stop irregular migration at all costs the u. has sacrificed people's safety and well being violating the obligations of respect

and the protection of human rights that's a very few shared by international relations professor last sunday. because you're getting a number of reports from credible sources including u.n. agencies that there are systematic abuses that that is and and i think it's clear that there are italy has to do and and the european union has to say well we're not going to send these people back to libya and we're going to find some way to give them a safe haven whether that whether or not they are economic migrants or refugees isn't is not right that countries major powers. the stabilized situation and then later on complain that. there are a mass migration movements from them or another difficulty is. police brutality in the united states is back in the headlines after body cam video was released showing an officer fatally shooting a man who was not armed at the time it happened last year in arizona we are about

to show you an edited version of the video so please be aware you might find it upsetting to watch. you. well police were called to the hotel after it was reported a man had been seen pointing a gun out of his window the weapon was actually an air rifle the victim is twenty six year old daniel shaver who had been drinking with a friend in a hotel room he was showing her his air rifle which your witness thought may have

been a lethal weapon mark good of course was representing the victim's family and he says is the most horrific shooting he's ever seen but it yury acquitted the officer of murder and manslaughter last thursday human rights activist randy short believes the officers claim that he felt threatened doesn't hold up first and foremost that officer was with the group of other people with guns there was no way that that man even if he had a weapon was going to be able to overcome that many people with body armor with high powered are automatic weaponry it is a friend a c a a a sick joke that the officer claimed to fear for his life it was excessive florists it was an execution and i believe that many are so serious are psychologically unstable they're dangerous people and essentially they have a license to kill. you've been watching the weekly here on our show you pre-show
