i i. i i. i i i oh i. mean the week's top stories for marty anger rages for a second week in the wake of donald trump's decision to recognize jerusalem as israel's capital clashes between palestinians and israeli police caused deaths and injuries. president putin kickstarts of russian troops from syria during a surprise visit to military chiefs declare isis defeat in the country. and also a damning human rights report condemns the e.u. for complicity in the exploitation of migrants trying to reach europe from libya.

follow their latest developments and look back at what's been happening over the last seven days to watch and weekly here on r.t. international. deadly violence between palestinians and israeli security forces still shows little sign of abating it follows donald trump's incendiary decision early this month to recognize the disputed city of jerusalem as israel's capital. city ok. i think. it's right oh there's parts that are filling that place. i i. i . well throughout the week here in r.t.

we've 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 corps is has forfeited the united states for free did its position as a broker to the peace process and i tell you something the israelis have girls who are palestinians in the past two days in peaceful protests while no israeli was killed there was an injury in an attack and was jerusalem everything is a lie first everything my opponent 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 a bit 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 same personality it's common to teach us morality listen come on it cannot be defended themselves 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 in the history of those land they were born in russia donald trump. kept his strong and his trying to do it his best way are

grateful but the issues not donald trump they issue as these people go in there in a says europeans russians americans and we are here in the middle east the only democracy of the only ally in very smooth has reverberated throughout most decision you were going to is ation of islamic cooperation convened an emergency session into a wednesday story calling the international community to recognize its jerusalem as the palestinian capital. to secure your russo them because of the great choirs the historical and coming to be honest if you will is important i want to point out to ignore some of the distortions in. the united states the solution to recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel is a dangerous one it will threaten 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 i mean every possible step must be taken to prevent the implementation of this illegal action by the u.s. administration however there is one question that sticks out what factors are militants made it possible for the u.s. president to take such an outrageous act that type of rhetoric that we heard has prevented peace in the past and it's not necessarily surprising to us well despite that 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 israel at 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 must remain unknown divided city accessible as soon as i take on this 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 dangerous decision we do know and agree clearly disagree these decisions are helpful from the european union member states sites this move would 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 all my friends leaving you as i am 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 in a close turning to announce it is like a man who was playing in a coma defeated or in the. in gangster for films so he's taking us through storm suddenly and is shooting oh my friends tell me it's a day he announced that they're pretty much scared to to go but the drizzling because they don't know how it's going to be in their 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 is. 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 work or for his personal legacy for his supporters to do this regardless of its effect on world opinion regardless of its effect in the united states in the world opinion and regarding the surface of 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. 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 base their work was complete after the russian defense ministry had earlier declared islamic state was now defeated in syria mean you throw a barrel near to the defense minister and the head of your general staff starts drawing of the russian forces to their permanent bases for terrorists to raise their heads again and we will strike back with the strength of their team ever seen before. so here's a quick recap of events then 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 the extremists 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 also joined efforts to liberate cities and lamp . posts. on iraq. i. was. i. but although the defeat of eisel is a common victory that does seem to be one country trying to steal the show perhaps is a need to now use thoughts on that. everyone's taking credit for ridding syria of isis

means that i've got a little bit to get out soon because you know it's a. great job russia but not everyone is give you props i want to thank general mattis for doing such a great job with respect to this he's not the hell out of home. or so made it possible with what i've let you do i think check your sources russia the top of the far north. lucy you support. today said mr pawle. he did. it because you can but but he did you like it if you know what it. all he's moved along the dream you. see you only during 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 in mind that the u.s. played important role in combat in the terrorist 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. now in other news this week british rule makers get a prime minister to resign may of bricks it bruising on wednesday after voting to give parliament the final say over any deal struggle. on leaving the e.u. 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 that 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 worse it was an unproductive negotiations to drag things out drag out the negotiations to delay friendship 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 the growth of the i was. just what. it has been eighteen months since the referendum saw fifty two percent of voters choose to

leave the european union although the poll also 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 the exit process and the often strained negotiations with brussels which followed opposition leader here jeremy call been said the m.p.'s delivered a humiliating loss of authority for the government and that power is now back in the hands of parliament that is despite the prime minister earlier claiming the government's strategy was on track. there is i believe a new sense of optimism now in the trial. and i. expect that we will confirm the arrangements i have set out in the european accounts later this week while theresa may might have 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
