yemen while boarding saudi arabia that its blockade of the country is a breach of humanitarian law. this is international and a very warm welcome to hear. the u.s. ambassador to the united nations has vetoed a draft resolution that had been drawn up to reject donald trump's decision to recognize jerusalem as israel's capital although expected it was the first time in six years that america uses a veto power at the u.n. security council but the u.s. stood alone without any support from its strongest allies those in favor of the draft resolution. please read.
3:02 am
those against. fourteen foods in favor one vote against the studies of jerusalem as the future of two states should be determined through a negotiated settlement between the israelis and the palestinians and the decision and actions which purport to alter the carter status of jerusalem have no legal effect to your any unilateral actions increase the risk of escalation of the conflict we support the just cause of restoring energies from a national rights of the palestinian people good to go out into school isn't going to become. get out of control 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
3:03 am
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 on 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 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 the accusation that the united states is setting back the prospects of peace in the middle east that is a scandalous charge what we witnessed here today in the security council is an insult it won't be forgotten the fact it. this veto is being done in defense of
3:04 am
american sovereignty and in defense of america's role in the middle east peace process is not a source of embarrassment for us it should be an embarrassment to the remainder of the security council 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 quick to praise the american veto. thank you but sort of i'm going to go to market you live the title of truth disco darkness one defeated the movie the truth defeated lies thank you president roh. we spoke to analysts based in both israel and palestine about the u.s. view it's no surprise they had contradicting views i've been surprised that so many
3:05 am
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. 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 are too biased and less sensitive to the
3:06 am
international legality which was a major structural defect 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 through this process which is i think a very dramatic and a very important setback for the american middle east policy i've lived here and seen how there's been peace process 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 that donald trump is taking a different approach that has not failed and maybe can lead to a real peace process that can move. a year since the christmas market the german justice minister has admitted the country's government was not sufficiently prepared for the consequences of such an atrocity and particularly in terms of addressing the needs of those affected. looking back at the tragic event. speaks to the husband of
3:07 am
a woman who died in the attack. a year on from the berlin christmas market attack tributes to the victims mixed in with the usual season this year concrete blocks ring the christmas market intended to make sure that no one could repeat the atrocity. now teaches model that stopped by the christmas market like many others that evening she was killed when armory plowed the stolen truck into the crowd leaving behind a grieving husband and young son. it was when i call the hotline there was only information that she's not on the list so i didn't know anything either because the official statement was that she was missing. but of course it was known to the
3:08 am
police that she was dead he was pretty determined not to have any information at all this is really bad loser you are power actually how you telling your son about what to tell you preparing him for to meet him when he's all much older he will understand a lot more about this talk of how this is of course this is not easy because he doesn't understand fully yet. and this will change definitely he will ask questions so i try to answer all his questions as best i can. so that's probably the only thing i can do maybe we can try to look into it to find out what happened actually i would be interested myself. but. the question is how successful the. west. new documents have emerged in the german press that show the security services knew omri was a potential terror threat back in twenty fifteen and may have allowed him to remain
3:09 am
at large and. hope of using him to catch biggest fish. in open letter to angela merkel the families have asked why help promise to them hasn't been forthcoming and why amery had been free to carry out his attack in the first place what i'm really angry abroad is actually what happened before the
3:10 am
terrorist act. it's pretty known that this person is dangerous and still the authorities didn't. arrest him didn't work here for some reason. bugs me also is that nobody actually. actually took the responsibility. it's still you know everybody is doing their own work still of the time as if nothing happened germany's christmas markets remain on high alert but for the families of those killed and injured during last year's terrorist attack it's left an indelible sadness on the festive period piece rather arty berlin. an investigation is underway into a fatal crash of a high speed passenger train in the united states the amtrak service was on its
3:11 am
maiden voyage when it derailed and plunged onto a busy highway southwest of seattle. 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. the lights flickered and some letters out of forty five degrees. like shaking my car just started shaking like really really really badly treated started. like the
3:12 am
side. yard. myself. despite the rise of global extremism it turns out that terrorist guidelines and bomb making instructions are still easily available online. has been surfing 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 have chosen not to show nor name the handbooks we found but they included step by step instructions and 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 were can find this information including those hoping to put it to use the bomb used in last week's new york subway attack included home or components of these readily available
3:13 am
terrorist manuals. i just feel like very scared. but 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 bought together in order to create a bomb that surface just days after an improvised device was detonated in the london underground. that only got back from iraq. is the sound of explosions sound. back in september amazon pledged to fix its algorithms but last time we checked just before recording this piece it was still there these easily accessed terrorist materials have been on the
3:14 am
internet for years already and google has made promises in the past to fight their availability. committed to be boss of the solution when working with good months law enforcement and civil society groups to tackle the problem of the stream is the place what's at risk on sun's on all surfaces 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 extremists with 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
3:15 am
google which would be the search engine that it was found on but now you're looking at things like a website. 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 a 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 that cyberspace flies underneath the radar screen of the police and in and security forces some of the internet companies that googles the face books and those can prevent that type of activity from coming into their space it's
3:16 am
a cat and mouse game it's going to continue it's i want to say it's a mission impossible but it's a very very difficult to remove all in still live with the free and open internet to remove all elements of hate and extremism has requested google did leak the so results of the dangerous and hostile materials be found online and we'll update you with that and eight developments for the meantime here on r.t. international your true state while the headlines continue in just a moment. everybody i'm stephen both. hollywood guy suspects ever wrote american first of all i'm just george bush and honored to say this is my buddy max famous financial guru just a little bit different. with all the drama happening in our country and i'm
3:17 am
shooting the brood have fun every day americans. and look for the stork to bridge the gap this is the great american. the world is a finite place and yet he marries capacity to generate garbage seems infinite oh my god how those two going to work how do you square that circle.
3:18 am
good to have you with us today for your world news thank you k.'s international development secretary has said saudi arabia has quote no excuse for cutting access to shew monetary and aid in yemen it is very clear that if you are using starvation as a weapon you are in breach of international humanitarian law i very much understand the strategic importance of our relationship with saudi arabia but we do not help that relationship by not speaking about the facts of the matter if the route to be a breach of international humanitarian law that would put that relationship into difficulty and while the millions of people are now suffering from famine in yemen the u.k. has promised to provide emergency aid to the country. out of them out of the movies destroyed everything around and even in the neighboring
3:19 am
villages we can rely only on. people they see bring. one or two tanks is not enough even for the ten families. were living happily inherit the airstrikes began there. but no one helped us here you see the mattresses no movement of the children. and additional fifty million pounds of aid is being made available to yemen taking the total for both this next year to two hundred five million but that helping hand pales in contrast to the sheer volume of u.k. arms sales to saudi arabia in fact since the start of the conflict britain has sold more than four billion pounds worth of weapons to riyadh but we spoke with shelby
3:20 am
a lockout from the stop the war coalition who thinks the only way the u.k. 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 part of picking targets so they're very much accountable these war crimes or 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
3:21 am
cover. donald trump says he has no plans to fire the special counsel robert muller who's leading the probe into the president's alleged ties to the kremlin may come as a disappointment to trump's critics who have been bidding on this scenario to make a case for a possible impeachment artesia samir a card takes a closer look at the efforts to remove trump from office. so help me god show help me god congratulations mr craig. the crusade to impeach donald trump started the second he was sworn in the idea of impeachment my prediction of a donald trump and peach with the prospect of impeachment this is time for impeachment and what's trump's latest move saying he doesn't plan on firing robert muller the person in charge of investigating the alleged trumped russia collusion. so much for the plans many were making to take to the streets and demand trump's
3:22 am
impeachment if he did indeed fire moeller 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 first year of his presidency democrats and even 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. to call for the impeachment trial and removal from office donald jiang trump by betraying his trust as president democracy is at risk now here are just some of
3:23 am
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 i said please don't be too nice like when you guys put somebody in the car and you're protecting their head you know the way you put their hand over. i said you could take the hand away ok it's a sure rod for a number of reasons i mean neither the democrats nor even the news media can keep 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
3:24 am
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 in all guns blazing but so far from still winning this catch me if you can pull some miracle on our to washington d.c. . the pentagon has confirmed it spent millions of dollars trying to identify objects that frequently violated national airspace and the news provoked excitement online as well this was maybe perhaps an official u.f.o. hunting program but there's not really much else to go on the five year investigative program was reportedly counseled a few years ago however all of the results for whatever reason are still classified
3:25 am
. interesting.
3:26 am
meeting in advance civilization could be like native americans encounter in columbus that didn't turn out so well. and. by so showing it to stay with us here on r.t. international your worldwide headlines continue very soon. and thang.
3:27 am
here's what people have been saying about redacted in ny this year was actually just full on awesome the only show i go out of my way to find you know a lot of the really packed a punch oh yeah it is the john oliver of hearty americans doing the same we are apparently better than blue best that i see people you never heard of love right back to the night i'm president of the world bank page on the right he sent us an email. i played for many clubs over the years so i know the game and so i got. the ball isn't only about what happens on the
3:28 am
pitch for the final school it's about the passion from the fans it's the age of the superman each kill the narrowness and spending to get to the twenty million and one player. so it's an experience like nothing else on here because i want to share what i think of what i know about the beautiful guy but great so one more chance with. the mix it's going to take. hello i'm max kaiser this is the kaiser report you know the world is a finite place and in a manner as capacity to generate garbage seems infinite oh my god how are those two going to work how do you square the circle so maxwell the circle is not being
3:29 am
squared in fact there's a finite amount of space even in the financial system where many think you can print an infinite number of dollars well china saying yankee go home to all american toxic waste whether it is actual trash trash garbage trash sort of stuff or trash us treasury bonds so they don't want any of them here's the first headline recycling chaos in us as china bans foreign waste and they set out to look at the classical virtue signaling sort of you know portland oregon couple and what it means to virtual signaling essentially it's going to get a lot more expensive to signal your virtue like many portland residents such ish and arlene carr are serious recyclers their house is coated with recycled
3:30 am
bluish white paint they recycle their rainwater compost their food waste and carefully separate the paper in plastic they toss out but recently after loading up their prius and driving to a sorting facility they got a shock. the fellow said we don't take plastic anymore satish says it should go in the trash so apparently china has said from january first is the official date no more foreign wasteful. they accept you know all those container ships plastics and cardboard and also just stuff sent to china to recycle well they don't want any of it anymore here as well you know i remember the story about an entrepreneur in china this woman who noticed that all of these big cargo ships were going to china return to.
