this week's top story. rages following. recognize. israel's. between palestinians and israeli police of course. calling for east jerusalem to be recognized as the palestinian capital with turkey already planning to open its embassy. also ahead president putin kickstarts the withdrawal of russian troops from syria during a surprise visit. feet in the country.

thousands of people packed. in the ukrainian capital in protest led by former georgian president saakashvili. stories from the past seven days on right up to the moment developments well this is the weekly international level and welcome deadly violence between palestinians and israeli security forces continues to show little sign of abating it follows donald trump's expose of the city earlier this month to recognize the disputed city of jerusalem as israel's capital.

the tensions is increasing the israelis are throwing tear gas bombs that are filling the place. was. i was. putting. such. we are still not the freezone and tensions are basic but this is me taking that. light i. have is that. all throughout the week r.t. has been hearing impassioned reaction to the reserve and some violence in the

region. people can open the bible and to count how many times jerusalem is in danger and 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 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 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 same personality is 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 the old land in 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 issue is not

donald trump the issue as these people go around to other innocent europeans russians americans and we are here in the middle east the only democracy of the all only all need really a light in this very dark environment. or reaction to president trump's move has reverberated throughout the muslim world where leaders have asked that his quote. void this the turkish president declared he wants his country to open an embassy to palestine in east jerusalem the organization of islamic cooperation convened an emergency session in turkey and it calls for the international community to recognize east jerusalem as the palestinian capital. because of its great. historical and permanent rights to the palace is

important i want to point out to ignore some of the distortions and see the united states the solution to recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel is a dangerous one it will threaten security and stability and frustrates 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 to prevent the implementation of this illegal action by the u.s. administration however there is one question that sticks out here what factors and no limits made it possible for the u.s. president 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 this spike heavy criticism from our of bleeders and european allies president trump doesn't seem all that concerned about been explains. 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 his you know. all about jerusalem a 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 questions that 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 very 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 only friends of cleaving 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. oh my friends don't need it the day he announced it that they're

pretty much scared to go but the drizzle and because they don't know how it's going to be and they're 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 to 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 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 something in

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. in time for christmas new years many 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 it was the russian leaders first trip to the country told person. based their work was complete after the russian defense ministry earlier declared islamic state was defeated in syria. i mean you are on there to the defense minister and the head of the general stuff would have stopped so 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 you never seen before well let's get a quick look at a fence and high the transpired in twenty fifteen when islamic state was on the rise and control of syria requests 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 dealing a significant blow to infrastructure aerial support is considered one of the main reasons for the campaign success many other forces also join the effort to liberate cities and the surrounding wheaton's.

that if. you know it. and although islamic states defeat is a common victory and he said no way looks at one side that's trying to steal the show. everyone's taking credit for ridding syria of isis means that about a little to get out soon you know that with the with the situation. doing 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

before. you go on the level you see you support the call today. paul. because you can but but you do you like it if you know what it. all he's moved 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 when. thousands have been protesting in the ukrainian capital this sunday against excessive privileges held by. government ministers in the country the demonstration was organized by former georgian president turned ukraine opposition leader mikhail saakashvili protesters stormed a concert hall in the center of kiev where it's believed saakashvili had hoped to set up a command center to continue the rally. was i was i. was.

i. right to talk about this now we're joined live in studio by our hawkins been following proceedings here a lot of people out in the streets how much you know a lot of people enough theater in the pictures we've just seen as well what triggered this demonstration in kiev why is it been happening well this is one of the biggest protests you know in recent weeks in kiev estimate that thousands attending this particular protests there calling for the impeachment of president poroshenko and the standing down of the country's prosecutor general. as part of the water protests against corruption and against as we heard there excessive government privilege in the government structures so very much i don't go in situation really in the capital of ukraine in terms of who these people are protesting what's happening in regard well there's probably a pretty wide spectrum of people here many of them may have protested in the twenty thirteen fourteen modern protest but for example the black flags you can see just the pinpoint one image they are actually carried usually by the followers of

ukrainian nationalist parties parties as well they may make up some element of the protesters as they did of course play a factor several years ago in the modern protests as well though these are people again who are just not happy with the continuingly political situation in the country who may have had their hopes dashed by the revolution of twenty thirty forty this seem to be headed by. people who may remember the name would associate him as being the former president of georgia but he's involved in a separate country here and he's quite a controversial figure isn't he here is a bit of a political firebrand i mean because this really actually had his citizenship revoked. from georgia he gave that up to become a citizen of ukraine at the invitation of president poroshenko a good friend of his actually went and studied at university together they've got a history together he was invited to be the matter of address or

a region in ukraine that was later revoked when he became critical of the regime is now officially stateless and the ukrainian government clearly in want to have a victim from the country deported from the country has been very critical of the regime using very strong terms this take a listen to what he had to say today at the protest. we weren't shake the country we have only one country but the dog house what we have is a government we will shake into we demolish it so that it never comes back. we can see the sort of fire brought rhetoric he really doesn't mince his words actually one sort of criminal charges both in georgia and in ukraine where funnily enough he's accused by authorities of trying to organize a criminal who led by all people by you pro russian for president which so given that you know the criticism he's level that russia from the kremlin previously doesn't make a lot of sense to be honest what's been the reaction to all these people are on the streets and scenes which ukraine has perhaps seen in recent years has there been

a big reaction from the public there from authorities well i can bring you two reactions from western representatives in the country the canadian ambassador the former british ambassador to ukraine judith go they've said they condemn rather attempts to seize and damage public buildings on abuse of the right to peaceful protests both of the masters. have stated this that was a reference of course of the images you saw there of public trying to storm a concert hall being pushed back by the police service people inside the theater at the time as well we believe there was a concert going on inside at the time the police tried to stop and go again we have reports of police officers being limited we don't know how many people have been arrests that were injured but obviously there have been some minor skirmishes not of the levels we've seen perhaps of previous protests but so little of passion there going on and interesting to see the reaction of course from these western representatives who in twenty thirteen fourteen a level of criticism leveled condemnation at your thirty's at the security forces

a lot of the protesters on the streets perhaps there was a bit of different story there with those particular protests ok we were to see how this develops r.t.d. is talking bring us right up to date for now i think you. become the weekly including have british m.p.'s now have the power to veto any agreements with the european union to stay with us. you know when you don't. see the. most through space. time you know. that. if you speak french.

you. could. join me every day on the alex i'm i'm sure and i'll be speaking to us from the world of politics. i'm show business i'll see you. again vladimir putin told donald trump to thank him. for providing information that helped to fall a terror plot in st petersburg let's cross live. for the latest on this i mean dana what do we know about the conversation then between the two leaders. well we

do have some details now in a telephone conversation lattimer put in indeed saying the us president donald trump in preventing a terrorist attack which was planned to take place in the city of st petersburg over these we can see now he also added that the russian security services would always also share information when and if they obtain any data concerning possible planned attacks on u.s. soil now the russian president said that the day that was provided by the u.s. security forces was enough to track down and between members of the terrorists out and in total russian security services in a raid that took place last week a seven suspects it was also revealed that the attack was planned for this saturday

with keesha is believed to be the cathedral which is situated right in the center of the city and is quite a popular tourist a landmark now during the raids a large amount of explosives weapons and ammunition was seized and it was also reported that the extremists were planning a serious of attacks including a suicide bombing. possibly a sign where the sharing of intelligence is so vital dana thanks very much for that . british lawmakers gave prime minister trees and bridges a bruising on wins the after they voted to give parliament the final say on any deal struck on leaving the eleven rebels from within your own conservative party broke ranks to give m.p.'s the power to veto any exit agreement. the 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 moment to fifty don't try before we leave the european union amendment seven is floor is just the worst of the productive negotiations to drag things out drag out the negotiations to delay project for months and months and months scrutinize what's if the government is doing proper scrutiny this is not the moment to try and defeat or go through i. just turn our. heads now. indeed while it's been a year and a half since the referendum saw fifty two percent of voters choose to leave the european union although the poll showed a sharp divide as you can see in desire to leave between britain's regions and it

was only in march this year that the government kicked off the exit process prompting the often strained negotiations with brussels which followed opposition leader jeremy corbyn said m.p.'s delivered a quote humiliating loss of authority for the government and the power is now in the of parliament that's the spite the prime minister earlier claiming the government's strategy was on track. there is there is i believe a new sense of optimism now in the two of us and i. think that we will confirm the arrangements. in the european account. or trees in may might have secured a better result in the house of commons had she not lost her party's majority in the snap election earlier this year as she only money to stay in power with a one billion pa and deal to secure parliamentary support from m.p.'s from the northern irish democratic unionist party political writer done glazebrook says the

pm can no longer overlook the deep divisions within her own party. it's 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 the government government is really up for grabs really demonstrates how insincere the conservatives were in their promise that they would. fall on the final deal to parliament because if they were sincere why would they be so determined even at the risk of a parliamentary to defeat to resist making this into a legally binding commitment that's why the weekly is looking at this hour on a review of the top stories from the past seven days i'll be back with more in thirty minutes time state twenty four seven r.t. .

we first like when you on the us coming to inspect the property if somebody would have been to spend my life playing committees or a lot of disco corrosive of salt it was clear. every night we were attacked by the arabs we will attacking them and we will extremely sure. but that's not possible. and then the soldiers myself and. the. host with the prisoner we've all gotten over will. believe much second class citizens in the. most like and i think in my head that there is no way to be able to live together
