it was good you picked a windy day lindsey like the. the week's top stories deadly unrest continues following washington's. israel's capital. muslim leaders respond to the u.s. move for them to be recognized as the palestinian capital. embassy. drawl of russian troops from syria. i.

have people. in the ukrainian. government protests led by former georgian president saakashvili. with the top stories from the past seven days and right up to the moment developments this is the weekly on r.t. international a little welcome our top story in the west bank protesters have gathered to burn u.s. and israeli flags as. the two countries leaders more than a week of deadly violence since donald trump's decision to recognize jerusalem as israel's capital.

is right. guys bonds that are filling the place. was. i. how. the touch. we are still not the free zone and tensions are the this is me taking to. cut. i. hope well throughout the week our tea house mean hearing reaction to the latest spike of unrest 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 for 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 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

fought 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 the old land in 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 done the problem they issue as these people go wrong. in a says europeans russians americans and we are here in the middle east the

only democracy of the only all new really a light in the least very dark environment of shock waves from president trolls move have reverberated throughout the muslim world 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 all fifty seven nations by the palestinians claim to be east of the ancient city. to secure your rousseau them because a great part of the historical and permanent rights to publish your book is important i want to point out to ignore some of the distortions and. 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. 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. what factors are no limits made it impossible for the u.s. president's trip to take such an outrageous attack and that type of rhetoric that we've heard has prevented peace in the past and it's not necessarily surprising to us well despite heavy criticism from muslim leaders on european allies president trump doesn't seem all concerned explains well it's now the time of year in which israel celebrates hanukah. 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 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 do interest decision we do know and agree to 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 limbs or in the. in gangster for films so he's taking us freestone suddenly in. oh my friends still need it the day he announced it that they're pretty much scared to go but the drizzle in the can be done the house going to be in there 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 real 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 you may be. 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 the fact on world opinion regardless of its effect on the united states and the 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 telling for christmas new year 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 well here you can see some of the soldiers being welcomed home on a base outside moscow they were met by an orchestra received orders for their service and of course. family members were also present. among these visit to syria was the first for the russian leader vladimir putin told personnel of the base their work was complete for the russian defense ministry had earlier declared islamic state defeated in syria. but only to the defense minister and the head of the general staff would have started he would draw all of the russian forces to their permanent base for terrorists to raise their heads again

and we will strike back with the strength you never seen before well here's a quick timeline of events spiking twenty fifteen when islamic state was on the rise and control the whole half of syria a request was sent to moscow for help in the fight against extremists using syrian intelligence the russian air force launched surgical strikes on terrorist positions dealing a significant blow to isolate infrastructure that's 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 regions.

that. journalist and author of del bari atwan sees coalition forces should poll out from syria as well especially as their presence in the country could be illegal i think and actually is sending a strong strong message to the theory and to the whole middle eastern and ups and muslims that you know there are very very supportive of their allies and they will never let them down if they're actually a good example by saying that we are. i think this is. the american administration that should pull our troops from feeling not only from fear

but also from iraq so there is no need for them to be there u.s. troops in syria was illegal and now they will be more illegal i believe that pretext which actually was taken by the american or used by the american administration to send troops to the syria now is venting. of people have been protesting in the ukraine in 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. i was. i was.

i r t's dotting the hawkins told me what triggered the demonstration in kiev estimated thousands attending this particular protest they're calling for the impeachment of president poroshenko and the standing down of the country's prosecutor general. as part of the wider 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 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 right wing 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. these are people again who are just unhappy with the continuingly uncertain political situation in the

country who may have had their hopes dashed by the revolution of twenty thirty or 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 he's quite a controversial figure isn't he here 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 he's now officially stateless and the ukrainian government clearly and also it is want to have a victim from the country deported from the country has been very critical of the regime using very strong take a listen to what he had to say today at the protest you did you we weren't shake the country we have only one country but the dog 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 a pro russian for president going to code which 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 their masters. have stated this that was a reference of course of the images you saw there of public trying to storm the calls. being pushed back by police service people inside the theater at the time as well where 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 human should we don't know how many people have been arrested or really should but obviously there have been some minor skirmishes a lot of the levels we've seen perhaps of previous protests but 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 the criticism level the condemnation at the authorities 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 president putin has to thank this cia for crucial tipped off that story and more in ninety seconds time . local blogs on you on the idea that dropping bombs brings peace to the chicken or forcing you to fight the battle. to stop trying to tell you that i'll be gossiping i'd like. to. tell you all and i

like. we all. want. just. discovered. that was a moment. looked like it was about to be destroyed. themselves. here are some people. on the. if i didn't somebody with the skill with the ability to help those people in.

the back with the weekly on our president call donald trump to thank the cia for a vital intelligence that prevented a terrorist attack in st petersburg according to a statement from the white house the two leaders agreed that the case serves as an example of the positive things that can occur when our countries work together that's a quote that brings us the details of. and a telephone conversation vladimir putin to thank the u.s. president donald trump for help in preventing a terrorist attack which was planned to take place in the city of st petersburg on saturday now he also added that the russian security services would always also share information with their colleagues and the united states eaves and when they need data concerning possible planned attacks on u.s. soil now the russian president said that the data that was provided by the u.s. security services was enough to track down and detain members of the terrorists out

and in total russian security services detained seven suspects and it was also revealed that the attack was planned for saturday with one location 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 raid a large amount blows if. an ammunition was seized and it was also reported that the extremists were planning a serious of attacks including as suicide bombing however a lot. of them happened thanks to this most recent example of a successful anti terror cooperation between russia and the united states. british lawmakers how did prime minister to resign bruising on wednesday after they voted to allow

a half since the referendum saw fifty two percent of voters choose to leave the european union although the poll showed clear divisions as we can see there within the u.k. itself it was only in march this year that the government kicked off the exit process prompting the often strain negotiations with brussels which followed on the latest development opposition leader jeremy corbyn said m.p.'s delivered a humiliating loss of authority for the government and the power is now back in the homes of parliament to spite the prime minister earlier claiming the government's strategy was on trying. but there is there is i believe a new sense of optimism now in the two i would expect that we will confirm the arrangements i have set out today in the european council this week while 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 gamble earlier this year she only managed to stay in power through a one billion pound deal with the northern irish democratic unionist party political writer doesn't say as the pm can no longer overlook the deep divisions within her own party there's a humiliation and has authority governments don't tend to last very long after after they get defeated at the hands of their. backbenchers to think it shows that the government the government is really up for grabs and 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 to defeat to resist making this into a legally binding commitment. the value of bitcoin today briefly had an all time high of twenty thousand dollars it's become so popular with millennial is that by the end of twenty eighteen it's thought one and three will have invested in the
