u.n. security council overwhelmingly bank's a resolution to quote snow and void trumps decision to make jerusalem the capital of israel but the resolution is vetoed by the united states. multiple fatalities are reported as an amtrak train derails from a bridge onto our highway in the state of washington. protesters take to the streets of the austrian capital vienna after a far right party takes key positions in the new coalition government. leaving to my name is neil harvey you're watching r.t. international. first this hour there are quote multiple fatalities after

an amtrak train derailed from a bridge over interstate five that's a major commuter highway in pierce county washington state part of the train was left dangling from the bridge and passenger cars fell onto the highway near a car brings us the story. an amtrak train has derailed from a bridge onto a major highway just forty miles south of seattle washington now the drill train hit vehicles on the highway and multiple fatalities have been reported a spokesperson for local authorities commented and here's what he had to say right now we know that we have more. people that were able to undergo students being killed for multiple groups damage to the bridge multiple vehicles down below the ground around it now amtrak confirmed that there were seventy eight passengers and five a crew members aboard and the train departed from tacoma shortly after eight am and

the drill meant occurred during rush hour which is possibly the worst time that this could happen according to the washington transportation department this was a new service that only launched this morning the point of defiance bypass project was intended to quote improve passenger train reliability and reduce congestion by rerouting trains to an in the route prior to that trains were forced to slow down to sue curves and single track tunnels now the governor of washington said that it was a ongoing and serious situation and has even declared a state of emergency in the counties affected. protesters a come out in the austrian capital vienna after a fall ron paul to join the new coalition government the new government is being sworn in the historic palace to fall and other left wing activists who are protesting outside heavy police presence stopped those demonstrators from entering the building protesters be mulching through the streets carrying placards such

as those said. seize government a major concern for them is that key state positions have been given to the freedom party it will take called the former interior and defense ministries as well as the vice chancellor. there's been widespread condemnation of this agreement across many european media outlets lots of fears that this will lead to the the far right side of that coalition having more and more say over politics in austria but we can look at what the well the coalition of put out themselves of what they say their policies will be we can expect that they'll be an increase in direct democracy along the switch

small of putting big votes to the people in order to get their opinions on which direction the country goes in next but one decision that won't be put into the people's hands like that it's been confirmed that austria has no intention on holding in a brags that s.k.u. referendum any time soon we can also expect tougher immigration control we could also expect the austrian government to push for an end to turkey's accession to the talks we can also expect to see this austrian government pushing more for an end to e.u. sanctions against moscow there. regarding the sanctions against russia yes we would like for those to be lifted and we will try to play a part in this is a mediator to find a solution in the interests of yours so europe and russia can overcome the differences when you talk to people on the streets of vienna opinion still very split over the direction the country is headed though i think things. i think we

have since before it was triumphant broxton england and i think that i was freshly taking it and i really don't think it's going to get. throughout europe there's a return to the far right and you can see this in germany. as world with the f.t. got a lot of votes and if someone speaks about the refugee crisis you get the impression that this could have been handled better. on the canal man i think the far right are correct they're working for the people doing what people who wants them to doing so i'm in favor i am happy with the situation well twenty seventeen how see in the far right rise to prominence in european politics if we look right at the beginning of the year of course we saw builders pushing hard for the dutch prime ministerial race and their elections there we also saw marine le pen in france be the number one challenger to align your ground in the french presidential elections

where is here in germany where i'm talking to you from the alternative for germany party they took up seats for the first time in the bundestag in germany's parliament well while. denies that he has any truck with the far right the fact that it had to go into coalition with the which the austrian freedom party has seen him heavily criticized. so the political scientist believes that the e.u. will have to reconcile itself to austria's new coalition west european governments won't take any significant actions against this new or strong government because on the one hand writing populism has been growing in all these countries in the self-confidence of europe centrist and leftist governments has been shattered by this rise of right wing populism and on the other hand the former coalition between

the p. and the. did not hard to europe nor to austria law worth the any policies taken which are contradictions to human it here in the rule of law standards in the european union fearful european governments don't see any reason for harsh restrictions and even central to right now. russia and china are the main challenges to us global hegemony that's according to the new national security strategy unveiled by president trump the document also presents the white house view on everything from the economy to nuclear defense. this strategy recognizes that whether we like it or not we are engaged in a new era of competition we also face rival powers russia and china that seek to challenge american influence values and wealth search through matters search for the document calls russia and china quote revisit revisionist powers

which supposedly use technology propaganda and coercion to shape the world antithetical to american interests we discuss the news with former u.s. congressman ron paul who thinks that the new strategy is the wrong message from the start. they start with the wrong premise they start with the idea that we have an empire we have a responsibility and it isn't. they believe it's a moral responsibility and we are the deciders and we should influence people because we are exceptional and they're all start with the wrong things so it's just a matter of degree you know i i want to believe that trump card is with us who are thinking that we should have more open relationships and talking he said it before but he has had to back off and i guess the pressure is too much we're them deep state the people who control the media. in a speech announcing the new strategy trump of the list said that the u.s.

aims to build a partnership with russia and china as an example he cited recent intelligence cooperation between washington and moscow to show to event a series of terror attacks in russia on sunday vladimir putin called them to thank him and the c.i. a u.s. president said that he in the entire american intelligence community were pleased that they were able to help to save lives the leaders also agreed this was a positive example of the countries working together is ron paul again he thinks that this example of cooperation goes against the huge sums the pentagon spends on defense i compliment the both presidents for doing this and it makes no sense on some of our policies because at the same time we have this email that we can't talk and work with each other and help each other at the same time we just had a budget that was passed where the risk five billion dollars allotted to building up defenses and eastern europe to stop russian aggression there's something awfully weird about there at the same time if we can be civil and talking to each other why

do we have and i speak for our country why do we have to spend so much money pretending that we're going to be invaded and then we're threatened by russian aggression that makes no sense whatsoever. ok let's go back to our top story for this hour the u.s. ambassador to the u.n. has vetoed the draft resolution rejecting donald trump's decision to recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel all fourteen of the members voted for the resolution get more pain as the details u.n. security council was called to a meeting by egypt now egypt put forward a resolution that essentially intended to give legitimacy to all the outrage that has taken place around the world sense donald trump in the united states recognize jerusalem as israel's capital and move the u.s. embassy to that city and now since this is happened there have been protests all. all over the world against it there was a meeting of fifty seven different muslim countries that assembled to condemn the

decision and we then heard from egypt on the floor of the u.n. security council condemning the actions that were taken by the united states because with of jerusalem is one of the issues the must be settled through peaceful negotiation between the palestinians and the israelis and the at some to changing facts on the ground in jerusalem is considered an illegal unilateral measure and will have new legal impact since it goes against international law. now what made the meeting unique was not only did we hear normal critics of the united states condemning the decision but we also heard you know western european allies of the u.s. nato states condemning this action by the united states and boldly disagreeing with the usa for what took place so this is actually the u.n. ambassador of france as you know there are still in the region caused by the december sixth announcement and the way it can be interpreted these effects must be avoided we cool all regional polluters to help comb the situation now nikki haley

the u.s. ambassador took to the floor and she defended the actions by the united states the united states has been the primary supporter of israel and when she spoke she said that the united nations should be ashamed of this proposal that was put forward she was ashamed of the vote which had taken place she accused the united nations of not being supportive of israel of being anti israel and she was harshly critical of the international community for the proposed resolution what we witnessed here today in the security council is an insult it won't be forgotten it's one more example of the united nations doing more harm than good in addressing the israeli palestinian conflict. now in response to the united states we have seen a statement from the palestinian authority the palestinian authority has accused the united states of sensually mocking the international community with their decision to move their embassy and recognize jerusalem as israel's capital and now

at this point even though fourteen members of the u.n. security council supported this resolution the single vote from the united states caused it to be vetoed and prevented the resolution from passing the entire chamber was united against a single member of the united states voting for a resolution will move to recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel continues to cause wide scale anger across the middle east. palestinians have been involved in protests and clashes with israeli forces for almost two weeks. decision to end u.s. neutrality on what is one of the most complex issues in the region both palestinians and israelis claim to be ancient city the moves being followed by a wave of condemnation from european and muslim leaders. and we've spoken to expose based in both israel and palestine about the us faith. i've been surprised that so

many countries have decided that instead of taking the palestinians to the security council to discuss why they decided to react the troops announcement by firing rockets at israeli kindergartens instead they have decided to take israel to the security council what they should be doing is encouraging the palestinian leadership to return to the negotiating table were donald trump in his announcement did not rule out whatsoever there being a pastor in capital in east jerusalem he just reflected the reality that for three thousand years jerusalem has been israel's capital it can still happen violence is not the way to bring it about there's no surprises this is a very much expected the united states was expected to come up with this veto but none of that is it's very significant and assuring that the rest of the world. is asserting the fact that this american decision is illegal there is a dramatic change that is happening there all of the united states views of the of

the middle east and particularly the israeli palestinian conflict in the history of this process the americans were too biased and less since that of the international legality which was a major structural defects in this peace process that isn't of this is that we are witnessing the end of the role of the united states as a sponsor of through this process which is i think a very dramatic and a very important setback for the american middle east policy. russia is back to cold war era hostility towards the west that's according to the british foreign secretary boris johnson he's been speaking ahead of this week's meeting with his russian counterpart sergey lavrov in moscow and see the church as more. ahead of this first visit by u.k. foreign minister to russia in five years johnson has certainly been making some curious comments in his typical manner for starters he has drawn some comparisons

between russia and sparta i was reading few city's history of the political war it was obvious to me that athens and its democracy its open this its culture and civilization was the end of united states in the west russia for me was closed no militaristic and democratic like sponsor well boris johnson has also said that russia has not been so hostile to the u.k. or western interests since the end of the cold war and quote now was speaking to the sunday times on the oh so popular issue of russian meddling he said again that he see no evidence of russian influence when it comes to the bracks it referendum if you remember in the past he's even used the words not a sausage of evidence but he has said that there is some evidence that there has been russian trolling on facebook this might be in reference to some of the numbers released by facebook that have said that only two hundred people in britain had seen any adverts which cost just over seventy p.

these numbers are certainly quite curious given all the endless talk about this alleged russian meddling and facebook influence when it came to that referendum now also ahead of this visit it's curious that some apparently here in westminster are nervous about what is going to happen when boris johnson finally gets to moscow for talks with his counterparts we have seen the chair of the parliamentary group on russia and labor m.p. chris bryant publish an open letter to boris johnson warning him of certain things that could come including things such as his food potentially being spiked some kind of influence to not let boys johnson get enough sleep things like honey traps why beautiful kremlin agents as well as maybe his phones being hacked or bugged. he's also been warning to stay away from any drinking games and has been letting boris johnson to be weary of being alone in an elevator and making faces so that this doesn't get used against him in the future but that said boris johnson has

made it clear by sort of repeating his mantra of beware but engage that he does plan to have serious talks when it comes to the situation in syria and specifically collaborating with russia to defeat isis terrorism so certainly lots to look ahead for when it comes to this visit later in the week. so to afghanistan now three people are confirmed dead and almost thirty injured following a car bomb attack twelve of the wounded were soldiers one of those killed was a security officer that's according to local officials no group has yet claimed responsibility for the attack which is carried out in the south west of the country . well earlier on monday islamic state claimed responsibility for an attack on an afghan intelligence training center in kabul militants stormed a partially constructed building at the complex triggering intense fighting with security forces journalist blosser worry the story. one car bomb has

exploded there's another one that the attackers had brought in what them it's quite an embarrassment to say the least because these areas should be protected these are areas where afghan intelligence trains its members and new recruits and next to it is another facility that's tasked with providing security to other installations in kabul in all across the country what we see these days is that militants targeting kabul in other major cities which is almost a new front line for them in the last few months we've also seen americans and other nato countries pounding board i says as well as taliban positions and afghan special forces have been carrying out regular operations so it could be a retaliation but certainly what we see more and more that the

afghan government and its international allies failed to prevent these attacks from taking place in kabul. and there's an engine there islamic state has recently carried out a number of attacks in the region on sunday are still militants killed nine people in neighboring pakistan last month two died after an islamic state kabul t.v. station and in late october seventy two people were killed by islamists in two separate afghan mosque attacks during friday prayers. the son of former libyan leader moammar gadhafi is planning a political comeback according to a family spokesperson saif al islam gadhafi will run for president in the country's election next year second of gadaffi ten children saif was one of the most powerful figures during the rule of his father who was brutally killed by western backed insurgents in two thousand and eleven so they face the death penalty for crimes against humanity during the uprising but was released after six years in jail.

the announcement is expected to kick start the presidential race in libya on sunday protesters came out in favor of another potential candidate national army commander kelly for huff dar it comes in the wake of last turmoil witnessed in libya since the twenty eleven war and the unrest there shows no sign of stopping. any.

form you can bust into libya oliver miles told us with some many rival groups fighting inside the country elections could actually make the situation worse but we do know as well there will be an election the u.n. representative cable an interview a couple of weeks ago in which he said he hoped that conditions would be suitable for another action but it's by no means clear that they will there are several different claims claimants to be government none of them have an absolutely clear claim because none of them out of control over the whole territory and that situation means that an election are wouldn't really make any sense like it might be to even make things worse from islam gadhafi and when his father was still. in charge and let go had some success in getting the attention and even admiration and

support from outside libya and britain for example the world the world's. people who were convinced that he was the hope for the future and in all the countries too i don't think those feelings were widely shared enjoyed libya. to austria where a local santa clause is an expected the fallen foul of the country so called. the man was pulled over by police in vienna this is why it was covering most of his face.

which bans covering the face in public has been in force since october the center was stopped on his way to festive celebrations and may now face a one hundred fifty euro fine but his lawyer says that there can be no grounds for prosecution. i think such cases happen maybe almost every week my client is working as a santa claus every year he loves children he loves to help people. going around and has a lot of appointments on each day in kindergartens and schools and places like that it was just kind of provocation and a confession of failure in my legal point a few this incident is not a political or by the law because he was in his private car he had not coverage

from his face there was no reason even to take of for example his threat from. french president emanuel celebrated his fortieth birthday on saturday but instead of congratulations the president faced a wave of criticism over the venue for his party.
