just tony and joining us on r.t. international come your latest world headlines. the u.s. ambassador to the united nations has vetoed a draft resolution that has been drawn up to reject donald trump's decision to recognize jerusalem as israel's capital has used its veto power in the u.n. security council but the u.s. stood alone without any support even from its strongest allies. will those in favor of the draft resolution please read the hand. does against. team foods in favor one vote against the status of jerusalem as the future capital. should be determined through a negotiated settlement between the israelis and the palestinians and the decision and actions which purport to alter the caracter status of jerusalem have no legal
12:02 am
effect any unilateral actions increase the reach a critical issue because the eggs good the good into seclusion can become. get hold of control we support the just cause of restoring energies from a national rights of the palestinian people un 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 and the united states recognize jerusalem as israel's capital and 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 that nikki haley the u.s. ambassador took to the floor and she defended the actions by the united states and when she spoke she said that the united nations should be ashamed of this proposal
12:03 am
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 essentially mocking the international community with their decision to move their embassy and recognize jerusalem as israel's capital however the u.s. did find some support the israeli prime minister was very quick to praise the american veto. sort of. how to go you spoke with democracy you live the title of truth you disputed darkness one defeated the many. defeated
12:04 am
maz thank you president roh i believe. we spoke to analyst based in both israel and palestine about the u.s. veto little surprise their views were as contradicting as those at the u.n. security council. 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 to trump's announcement by firing rockets at israeli kindergartens instead they've 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 palestinian capital in east jerusalem he's just reflected the reality that for three thousand years 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.
12:05 am
is asserting the fact that this american decision is illegal jerusalem has been israel's capital it can still happen violence is not the way to bring it about in the history of this process americans to a biased and less since that of to 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 to this process which is i think a very dramatic and a very important step back for the american middle east policy i've lived here and seen how there's been peace process is over the last thirty years that have all tried the same thing and it's failed the palestinians and the international community should be celebrating and donald trump is taking a different approach that has not failed maybe can lead to a real peace process that can move forward. a year on the since the burden
12:06 am
christmas market attack the german justice minister has admitted the country's government was not sufficiently prepared for the consequences of such an atrocity particularly in terms of addressing the needs of those affected. are all of our looks back at the tragic event and speaks to the husband of a woman killed in the attack. a year on from the berlin christmas market attack tributes to the victims mixed in with the usual joy of the season this year concrete blocks ringing the christmas market intended to make sure that no one could repeat the atrocity. for the families of the twelve people on this armory murdered here there are still many questions that the german authorities are yet to answer. new documents have
12:07 am
emerged in the german press that show the security services. as a potential terror threat back in twenty fifteen may have allowed him to remain at large and the hope of using him to catch biggest fish. why by the christmas market like many official statement. it's really known that this person is dangerous and still the authorities didn't. arrest him didn't for him for some reason definitely what i would be interested in is some
12:08 am
kind of an explanation what actually happened. germany's christmas markets remain on high alert but for the families of those killed and injured during last year's terror attack it's left an indelible sadness on the festive period piece rather. donald trump says he has no plans to fire the special counsel robert mueller who's leading the probe into the president's alleged ties to the kremlin and that may come as a disappointment to trump's critics who have been betting on this scenario to make a case for a potential impeachment us america takes a closer look at the efforts to remove trump from office don't help me god so help me god congratulations with a great. crusade to impeach donald trump started the second he was sworn in but it seems as though he's been playing a never ending game with democrats since his inauguration but neither side's very good at it and what's trump's latest move saying he doesn't plan on firing robert
12:09 am
muller the person in charge of investigating the alleged trumped russia collusion you. know. so much for the plans many were making to take to the streets and demand trump's impeachment if he did indeed fire muller's democrats have also been trying to use allegations of sexual misconduct to get rid of trump but unless he decides to resign himself that's not an option because harassment isn't considered an impeachable offense even members of their own party have dismissed it i think we need to move on and not get distracted by those issues let's get on with the real issues that are facing peoples of this country right now and i don't think that the president ought to resign at this point now if democrats are detectives pursuing trump for any wrongdoings he's certainly not a very cunning offender but he's leaving plenty of clues in the fifth and some republicans have formally accused him of an impeachable offense at least once a month senator al green alone has done it four times writes today mr speaker.
12:10 am
to call for the impeachment trial and removal from office donald john trump by betraying his trust as present it marker see is at risk now here are just some of the reasons trump has given his rivals to call for his impeachment struction of justice after trump fired f.b.i. director james comey his unsubstantiated claims that hillary clinton only won the popular vote due to voter fraud leading to accusations of deceit and remember when he almost called on the police to violate the constitutional rights of suspects in custody and his tweets about the courts getting himself accused of undermining the federal judiciary and the list goes on the first obstruction of justice which deals with mr comey firing. the second is a violation of the constitution's warrant maja clause the third is a violation of the domestic of my clause it's a sure rod for a number of reasons i mean neither the democrats nor even the news media can keep
12:11 am
up with donald trump actions whether they're positive or negative you know every day is something new and i'm not even sure that this is a concerted strategy on trump's far apart as much as it is simply a result of his rather manic personalities and his priorities seem to change all the time and this political structure isn't set up for that and that what really makes it come off as a sure rod is of course the fact that the democratic party is in no position to launch impeachment proceedings against anyone because they don't control either house of congress but the story is always the same time slips making some sort of outrageous statement in public on twitter and democrats come running all guns blazing but so far from still winning this much more if you can pull some work on our to washington so. the u.k. use international development secretary has said saudi arabia has quote no excuse
12:12 am
for cutting access to humanitarian aid in yemen. it is very clear that if you're using starvation as a weapon you're in breach of international humanitarian law while millions of people are on the brink of famine in yemen the u.k.'s promised to provide emergency aid to the country. out of them out of the move has destroyed everything around even in the neighboring villages we can rely only on. people and what they see was one of two tankers is not enough you see the murderess is no movement of the children additional fifteen million pounds of aid is being made available to yemen the arabia since the start of this conflict britain has sold more than four billion pounds worth of weapons to
12:13 am
saudi arabia and we spoke with xabi at last hour from the stop the war coalition who thinks the only way that you can really help yemen is to stop selling weapons to saudi arabia. when saudi arabia started its war in yemen in the first few months of that war britain's arms sales to saudi arabia went up by a thousand percent during the course of this war despite the evidence from human rights organizations that those weapons have been used in war crimes it has been admitted that british forces are part of the joint operations. command in saudi arabia they've been part of training forces of picking targets so they're very much accountable these war crimes of this blockade has been discovered yesterday's been going on for a long time and you know we've seen how the british government have reacted to that and i think if britain really wanted to help the people of yemen then they should stop supporting saudi arabia stop selling their weapons stop giving them diplomatic

cover. three people were killed and more than a hundred needed hospital treatment after a train derailed southwest of seattle at a train was making his maiden run along a new high speed route when it left the tracks and plunged onto a highway below. we conduct a triology of the incident we performed extrication using the jaws of life to remove the injured. there are three confirmed fatalities that we know of and we transported over a hundred patients. all the lights flickered out lives out a forty five degree angle. like shaking my car just started shaking like really
12:15 am
really really badly treated started to. seem like the side. door. was. just pushed myself along. in a national security speech donald trump has outlined his view of the world i don't barack has role in it america has been among the greatest forces for peace and justice in the history of the world a strategy is to advance american influence in the world the american people are generous america will lead again when the american people speak all of us should listen the new national security strategy outlines the ways in which washington can advance its influence and preserve its prosperity before us congressman ron paul
12:16 am
believes the underlying theme behind the strategic thinking is wrong. they start with the wrong premise they start with the idea that we have an empire we have a responsibility 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 there's a much better way to solve the problems of the world then to use force and power intimidation and bombs and and boycotts i want to believe that trump heart is with us who are thinking that we should have more open relationships and talking he said it before but he's had to back off and i guess the pressure is too much we're the the deep state the people who control the media and those of us who when i was in congress and i would speak this way or when i ran for president you know i literally could get booed for saying things like we had to talk to people. national
12:17 am
security strategy also says countries like china and russia challenging u.s. influence in the world that all came in strongly criticizes moscow and its international policies in particular claims russia uses and coalition in an attempt to shape the world fundamentally opposed to america's interests however the whole trouble did bring up a recent phone call with the russian president as an example of how things should work between moscow and washington during that cold putin thanked the cia for helping for oil a terror plot in russia. 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 same goal 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 there was 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
12:18 am
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. despite the rise of global extremism it turns out terrorist guidelines and makeshift bomb packages are still easily available in digital library libraries and online shops. and has been suffering for such material. and less than ten minutes i was able to find multiple guides published by terrorist organizations through google searches clearly outlining how to make a bomb we've chosen not to show nor name the handbooks we found but they included step by step instructions in english from both al qaeda and islamic state and within them you can find lessons on kidnappings or carrying out various types of assassinations using explosives and the problem is and they will confine this information including those hoping to put it to use the bomb used in last week's
12:19 am
new york subway attack included home or components of these readily available terrorist manuals. like feeling very scared. i think it's kind of normal for these times were particularly in new york city which is targeted many times and it's the new normal once a potential terrorist has the recipe for a homemade device that only leaves gathering the necessary materials and investigation back in september found that amazon's algorithm was suggesting items that could be brought together in order to create a bomb that surface just days after an improvised device was detonated in the london underground. not only got back from iraq i remember the sound explosion sound. back in september amazon pledge to fix it algorithms but last time we checked just before recording this piece it was still there these easily accessed terrorist materials have been on the
12:20 am
internet for years already and google has made promises in the past to fight their availability. committed to be part of the solution when working with government and civil society groups to tackle the problem of stream is the place what's at risk constance services that statement came back in june of this year and yet just this monday britain's the independent news website released a report outlining how they alerted google to the fact that their algorithms could provide extra. dangerous materials and yet saw no change in the search result days later clearly despite the company's willingness to tackle terrorists content its own algorithms are failing with websites making a u.r.l. making a website all of these things online anybody can just start a new one so say for example you are a website that has the terrorist content or activity that's problematic or can lead to criminal activity if they shut that down if google didn't allow that to come up in a search result another one could come up right after you not only look at things like
12:21 am
google which would be the search engine that it was found on but now you're looking at things like the web site hosts so now these are other private companies not just google search engine but other private companies that have to now look at who is starting the u.r.l. what are they doing how do they make this website so in terms of google they're going to be having to cut out in the algorithm cut out the search results is going to be much more difficult now some would have you believe that terrorists are lurking soley on the dark web which most of us would never even know how to access but it turns out they're not quite as far away as one would hope cyberspace is the new training camp so individuals can find information about bomb making they can identify targets they can chat with their colleagues they can receive instructions they can receive inspiration if cyberspace flies underneath the radar screen of the police and in and security forces some of the internet companies the googles the facebook's and those can prevent that type of activity from coming into their space
12:22 am
it's a cat and mouse game it's going to continue. i want to say it's a mission impossible but it's a very very difficult to remove all still live with a free and open internet to remove all elements of hate and extremism has requested that google delete the so results of the full and dangerous materials column to be found we'll update you with any developments. so the. to go on has confirmed it spend millions of dollars trying to identify airborne objects that frequently violated national airspace the news provoked excitement online that this was an official u.f.o. hunting program but there's not much more to go on the five year investigative program was reportedly counseled a few years ago but its results are still classified.
