oh. in the week there was for marty rages for a second week following fall trucks decision to recognize jerusalem as israel's capital clashes between palestinians and israeli police have caused deaths in egypt and. president putin kickstarted the withdrawal of russian troops from syria during a surprise visit to military chiefs declare isis defeated the country can't. go spending the holiday to the heavens russian spacecraft launching from the baikonur cosmodrome taking three crew of the space station on the final mission of

this year. by their welcome to the weekly i'm kevin zero in these the big stories of the last seven days brought you by r.t. and first deadly violence between palestinians and israeli security forces still shows no sign of abating this weekend it follows donald trump's explosive decision earlier this month to recognize the disputed city of jerusalem as israel's capital . thank you. it's right oh ok that's our feeling the place. was. such.

a. stellar result and tensions are in the. gut. cut. i hope. he's been hearing impassioned reaction to the resurgence of violence in that 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 are followers of hijab in that whole say name hitler skylab the writer 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 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 the old man the history of those land they were born in russia donald trump. kept his promises and his trying to do in his best way are grateful but the issues not donald trump they issue as this people go around. in a says europeans russians americans and we are here in the middle east the only democracy of the only all new really a lie in this very dark environment reaction to president moves

reverberated throughout the muslim world where leaders have busted is quote no law and void decision the turkish president declared he wants his country to open an embassy to palestine in east jerusalem now and on top of that the organization of islamic cooperation convened emergency session in turkey on wednesday calling for the international community to recognize east jerusalem as the palestinian capital . it was the us decision on your rousseau them because of the great chorus against the historical and permanent rights to the palestinians everything is important i want to point out to ignore some of the distortions. but the united states the solution to recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel is a dangerous one it will threaten security and stability and restraints efforts to resume the peace process the president is committed to this peace process as committed as he has ever been born yet as a mediator all 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 to you what the factors are no limits made it impossible for the u.s. president's trip to take such an outrageous act and that type of rhetoric that we heard has prevented peace in the past and it's not necessarily surprising to us despite the heavy criticism from arab leaders and he repeated allies to president trump doesn't seem too concerned by it all is maupin reported in the week. 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 wish you 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 and all about jerusalem love

that's all over israel trump one as far as 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 questions that take us as i would 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 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 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 it is a close turning 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 tell me it's a day he announced 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 helps correct a decades long indignity there may be benefits for him personally may be a tipping his hat to his base and say 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. ignore the big news of the week just gone russian troops started

returning home from syria after president putin announced it was mission accomplished during a surprise visit to a base there on monday it was a russian leaders first trip to the country putin told personal attack your air base their work was complete the russian defense ministry it early declared islamic state was no defeated in syria. i mean you about are on there to the defense minister and the head of the general stuff i would have started he would draw all of the russian forces to their permanent base and if the terrorists dare to raise their heads again we will strike back with the strength that you never seen before well as a quick timeline of events for you in two thousand and fifteen when islamic state was on the rise and control back then half of syria a request was sent to moscow for help in the fight against the extremists using syrian intelligence the russian air force launched surgical strikes on terrorist positions during a significant blow to ourselves infrastructure that aerial support is considered one of the main reasons for the campaign success many other forces also join the

effort to liberate cities of course and also the surrounding regions. that. although islamic states defeat is a common victory in the tsunami next looks that one side is trying to steal the show. everyone's taking credit for ridding syria of isis means that a lot of the locals to get out soon 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. made it possible with what i've let you do i think check your sources russia the bushes are twelve but far north of the. level you see you support. today said mr pawle. he 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 u.s. 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 when. these events crew are on their way currently to the international space station having earlier blasted off the baikonur cosmodrome this afternoon it's the final mission of the year it'll take them two days travelling before they finally dock with a little bit of the ego is done with the reports from the launch site in kazakhstan

. once it was yuri gagarin who blasted off from this a very launch pad to become the first man in space now we can already hear the engines of this soyuz rocket roaring and the ground underneath me starts to crumble so let's take a quick break and enjoy this launch on this beautiful sunday morning together. now having to leave a loving home especially on the holidays especially for holiday season and especially to space does leave an aching feeling inside one's chest and so we've been ready to spend some time with the crew and find out how they are going to be

dealing with this perhaps the best crewman to help with any homesickness his colleagues may suffer he's fair and russian cosmonaut on tons copier off he spent a year on the ice says before you know. it is my third flight and third time celebrating new year in space so i have a bit of experience on the space ship there are presents from family and from ross cosmos but there is a bank for every crew member and we also bring one for those already on board with the date when to open them either on christmas for western colleagues or new year for russian is. he still would have packed one of her toys for him as a reminder of his family back home it down mining i gave my father a great little poodle toy because we have one at home. not only is this chapter of thirty expedition he'll also be celebrating his birthday in space for the third time. i'm fortunate i was celebrate my birthday without my family close relatives

and friends but it is my third. time so i'm no stranger to that i will receive presents and sweets from my family on the space station we will lay the table and drink tea and i can't tell you what we're going to do there isn't a surprise but this is so use is not the only spacecraft headed for a run dave with the eye assess all the way from cape canaveral a space x. rocket is carrying something very special in its cargo hold firstly we're being told it's a new christmas tree for the holidays and also a copy of the new star wars movie yes to be screened in space so the force is strong with this mission john of reporting from the baikonur cosmodrome ferrazzi. you know best out there guys thanks for watching people to come to on the weekly with me kevin zero in this sunday evening in moscow including british m.p.'s now have the power to veto any breaks it agreements with the e.u. it was a big story that came up in the week that much more ahead. but

politicians to do something. they put themselves on the line they did accept or reject. so when you want to be president. for something i want to press them. to go right to the press this is like them before three of them or people. interested in the why. question. just by accident i discovered about. there was a moment where i saw the body looked like it was about to be destroyed. someone who . hear of some people struggling for and kissed ideology if i didn't as somebody with the skill with the ability to help those people in

existential struggle in a moment of need then my whole life i'd not be a hypocrite. trees of many a brick bruising on wednesday after they voted to give parliament the final say on any deal struck on leaving the e.u. eleven rebels from within their own conservative party broke ranks to give employees 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 servant is floor is just the worse it will be unproductive negotiations to drag things out drag out the negotiations to delay project for months and months and months scrutinize what's the government is doing proper scrutiny this is not the moment to try and defeat the goal i. just watch now. or those just about eventually regained it's 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 of the time between britain's regions that wanted to remain but it was in march this year that the government finally kicked off the very complicated exit process in the often stray negotiation who brussels that followed opposition leader jeremy corbett in the week then said m.p.'s delivered a humiliating loss of authority for the government and went on to say that power is now back in the hands of parliament that though despite the prime minister earlier

claiming that the government's strategy was indeed bang on track. but there is there is i believe a new sense of optimism now and that's what i would expect that we all could. set out in the european council later this week theresa may might have secured a better result in the house of commons had she not lost her party's majority in that snap election gamble earlier this year she only managed to stay in power in the end with that one billion pound deal to secure parliamentary support from m.p.'s from the northern irish democratic unionist party in a weak political writer don't glazebrook told is true jamaican no longer than overlook the deep divisions within her own party is a humiliation and historically 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 is a week just gone bit cold as well and truly in the news again it hit an all time high of twenty thousand dollars in fact has become so popular with millennial zx by the end of twenty eighteen it's thought one in three will have invested in that cryptocurrency the prediction was made by the london bloc exchange britain's first digital currency institution in light of this meteoric rise is what you need to know than a boat. bitcoin he said financial models are not reached norma's for centuries has taken over the title of biggest bubble in history from what was known as mania in the netherlands bitcoins valley has surged byron sixty times in the last three years that's faster than to the bulbs in the seventeenth century

which are one point worth ten years for skilled crossman's earnings back then prices were driven by greed or fear of missing out but as more people bolts into the bowels of quick profits a flurry of cells collapsed the price left many with crippling debts bitcoin is being called the digital tulip of the twenty first century is the same pattern emerges a fear of missing out on new investors piling in critics say the perceived value of the currency like the tool that is being conjured out of finance but the ever growing army of bitcoin believers say it's here to stay with an operational market in full flow around the clock and new places all of the world ready to accept the cryptocurrency as payment even a church in london is happy to accept donations of the virtual kind with the size of the big question market already surpassed in some countries economies including new zealand influential banks are being left behind but as history shows us boom is usually followed by bust and soon it could be time to wilt or blossom.

of course as the worry will many experts advise to wear on the side of caution as fascination builds around virtual currency as my colleague in a nail with a bit cohen advocate. i'm no expert i'm just an enthusiastic but i do not believe this is a bubble it's just the beginning of an adoption rate of the technology how damaging could the losses be though if prices suddenly drop we have heard people putting savings into it effects it's so large not effects so many different things if the prices did suddenly drop would it be a catastrophe of course that it could be said for anything really if people are storing value in it that they can't live without a lot of the krypto enthusiasm to do say only invest money you can live without and don't use any money that you're emotionally attached to so that way if it is in a volatile market and that's what crypto currency is right now it's extremely risky

it's highly volatile and if you're emotionally attached to any value you put into it you might be up late at night biting your nails on the overall scale of things if the cryptocurrency bubble does person i understand there's a lot of different things we have to go wrong for that to happen of course what the repercussions on the rest of the financial world and markets is it is it that big i would actually be more worried about if the public doesn't burst what kind of effects it could have on the world economy and if it doesn't burst it may actually have more repercussions that if it weren't adverse today even if you wanted to sell a million dollars early he said billionaires somebody wanted to sell a billion dollars worth of big point today it's not easy so it would take a long time for that to happen and if you're an investor in crypto currencies if you do sell your crypto there are ideal ideologies behind it where you want to sell your crypto to somebody who's looking to invest in it who's going to hold it long term that way the cryptocurrency you're holding and waiting to sell because you

have to do it little by little it doesn't lose value drastically over time because you just dump it on the market is so if i post six this evening story happening right now in the ukrainian capital briefly. thousands are protesting against excessive privileges held by government ministers there the demonstrations been organized by the former georgian president turned ukraine opposition leader mikhail saakashvili people rallying were chanting anti-government slogans and waving nationalist flags this is the latest in a series of anti-government protests held by somebody who's already been arrested several times for mutually attempts of late and has no official status in either his native georgia although in ukraine. that's how the week look then i'm kevin zero in thanks for watching our news review of the week aaron r.t. international we always appreciate it shooting to us coming to you live from moscow as we are it's sunday in the seventeenth of december a programs continue after this break.

credit is one of the basic instruments to drive an economy but it can also lead to tragedy i did i took a lying down just i came to god and that that the text i came and it was fire not. many lives have been broken excessive the banks got you into trouble and all the big bankers got big. money by the banks but i didn't think of the. last morning there was a back handed down by creditors people see no future bad face and have you know you become ill you do job your relationship breaks down you become a casualty is death a life long trip or is there

a way out i was actually trying to argue no woodworker to ditch bill for some more cisco. guys or financial survival guide liquid out those that you. you can burn music as a point easily. to keep in mind though as a tremendous pleasure. for. when they. occur. in the mood to call. this a road these are the. people in the mall riminton. in

for a moment. looking on the one that is on the feeling. of those. of us that they. are. part of welcome to the party at first glance the day isn't much in common between defied of the syrian against isis and the development of bitcoin but both causes have captured the imagination of an artist a round of wild dreaming about autonomy from damage but don't state one of them is

a mere talk a big point developer and anti isis fighters he joins us today on worlds apart well mr tuck it's great to talk to you thank you very much for being with us today thank you. now you are a committed an artist and a big part of the anarchist ideology is a rejection of the state and yet somehow you added up in syria fighting alongside the kurds against isis which is also a group that rejects the syrian state at least in its current shape and form how do you reconcile the struggle of the kurds. in the middle east in north syria. is a base of ideology called democratic confederal ism which is. an ideology that takes a lot from. the ideology is really is something known go off as

a way forward hasn't been able for the last century. to be able to organize to shape politics around what the cuts of done is to make a very good critique of. and put forward a proposal for how we can engage in politics in this country to be able to. advance the cause of humanity. with all due respect i think when it comes to the struggle in their fight spirit i says it's not really so much about diet geologist much is about their survival i don't think ice is really thinks much about can federalism as you explained it i think for them it's just you know ethnic and perhaps religious hatred so from what i understand the kurdish fight was primarily for survival rather than their political or social vision. your main driver of the movement is the ideology that's what gives them strength as a movement in the middle east.
