of us here in. moscow welcome to you. the u.s. ambassador to the united nations has vetoed a draft resolution. 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 has used its veto power at the u.n. security council and the u.s. did stand alone without any support from its strongest allies. with those in favor of the draft resolution please raise their hand.
5:02 am
there's against. fourteen foods in favor one vote against the studies 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 effect any unilateral actions increase the risk of escalation of the conflicts we support the just cause of restoring energies from a national rights of the palestinian people good to go out into seclusion can become and will not 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 jerusalem as israel's capital now what made the meeting unique was not only did we
5:03 am
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 that this veto is being done in defense of american sovereignty and in defense of america's role in the middle east peace
5:04 am
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 a sensually mocking the international community with their decision to move their embassy unrecognised a roomful of israel's capital however the u.s. did find some support the israeli prime minister was quick to praise the american veto. when i'm gone you spoke like america you live the title of truth you dispel the darkness one defeated the many truth defeated maz thank you president roh i believe. we spoke to analysts based both in israel and palestine about the u.s. veto no surprise they had contradicting figures. i've been surprised that so many
5:05 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 shorting to 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 the americans were too biased and less since that of to the international legality which was a measure of structural defects in this peace process that isn't of this is that we
5:06 am
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 but 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 that donald trump is taking a different approach that has not failed and maybe can lead to a real peace process that can move forward. a year on since the birthday and christmas market attack the german justice minister has admitted the country's government was not sufficiently prepared for the consequences of such an atrocity it's actually in terms of addressing the needs of those affected. peter all of a now looks back at the tragic event and speak to the husband of one woman killed in the attack. a year on from the berlin christmas market attack tributes to the
5:07 am
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 called in there was only information that she's 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 police that she was dead he was pretty determined not to have any information at all this is
5:08 am
really bad loser you are our actually how you telling your son about what happened tell you preparing him for anything 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 can be this west. us too painful to go to berlin for this anniversary so we preferred to commemorate our girl here where she was born and grew up there is no amount of money that could offset the death of my daughter now amount. new documents have emerged in the german press that show the security
5:09 am
services knew armory was a potential terrorist threat back in twenty fifteen and may have allowed him to remain at large in the 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 has been free to carry out his attack in the
5:10 am
first place what i'm really angry abroad is actually what happened before the terrorist attack. it's pretty known that this person is dangerous and still the authorities didn't. arrest him didn't work here for some reason what bugs me also is that nobody actually. actually took the responsibility. it's still you know everybody is doing their own work still the time has passed if nothing 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 arty berlin. investigators probing
5:11 am
a fatal train crash in the united states have revealed that it was traveling at eighty miles per hour in a thirty zero when the incident occurred over the reason why it was speeding is still unknown the amtrak service was on its maiden voyage when it derailed and plunged onto a busy highway southwest of sea out. we conducted 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. some lives out of forty five degree angle. like shaking my
5:12 am
car just started shaking like really really really badly treated started to. seem like the side. door. just pushed myself. despite the rise of global it stream as it turns out terroristic guidelines on the ball making instructions are still easily available online jacqueline vote has been surfing the internet for such material. and less than ten minutes i was able to find multiple gods 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
5:13 am
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 terrorist manuals. like feeling. i think it's kind of normal for these times or 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 i remember is the sound of
5:14 am
explosions sound. back in september amazon pledge to fix it algorithms but last time we checked just before reporting this piece it was still there these easily accessed terrorist materials have been on the internet for years already and google has made promises in the past to fight their availability. to be part of the solution when working with. and civil society groups to tackle the problem of stream is the place what's at risk on sun's services that statement came back in june of this year and yet just this monday britain's 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 terrorist 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
5:15 am
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 dougal 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 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
5:16 am
inspiration if cyberspace flies underneath the radar screen of the police and in and security forces some of the internet companies the googles the face books and those can prevent that type of activity from coming into their space 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 the free and open internet to remove all elements of hate and extremism the house requests to google delete the search results so the dangerous and full materials concrete we will update you with any developments or will the still plenty of news stories are coming your way here at all to international. on this tuesday we were very.
5:17 am
5:18 am
it is good to have you with us today the u.k.'s international development secretary has said saudi arabia has quote no excuse for cutting access to humanitarian aid in . it is wary clear that if you're 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 road to be a breach of international humanitarian law that would put that relationship into difficulty in the last two weeks alone airstrikes in yemen by the saudi led coalition have left one hundred and fifteen civilians dead and eighty three injured and now the u.k. has promised to provide emergency aid to the country. out
5:19 am
of them out of the movies destroyed everything around even in the neighboring villages we can rely only on. people and they see us bring. one or two tankers 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. an additional fifty million pounds of aid is being made available to yemen taken the u.k.'s total for both this year and next year to two hundred five million but
5:20 am
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 to. from the stop the war coalition who thinks the only way the u.k. can really help yemen is by simply stopping the selling of 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 this blockade has been
5:21 am
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. 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 that may come as a disappointment to trump's critics who have been bidding on this scenario to make a case for a possible potential impeachment. can takes a closer look at the effort to remove trump from the oval office. so help me god so 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
5:22 am
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 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.
5:23 am
to call for the impeachment trial and removal from office donald jiang trump by betraying his trust as present it democracy 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 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's actions whether they're positive or negative you know every
5:24 am
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 guns blazing but so far from still winning this touch me if you can pull some work on our to washington d.c. . the pentagon has confirmed it spent millions of dollars trying to identify airborne objects that frequently violated national airspace or the news or provoked
5:25 am
incitement online for this people were hoping it may be an official u.f.o. hunting program however there's very little to go on we had to stand the five year investigative program was reportedly council to few years ago however despite the cancellation all the results a classified. it's going to. take.
5:26 am
anything in advance civilization could be like native americans encounter in columbus that didn't turn out so well. thanks for showing it to stay with us here on the cape partridge here in half an hour with more of your world headlines. here's what people have been saying about rejected in the senate is full on ourselves the only show i go out of my way to see everybody is there really back to

5:28 am
only about what happens on the pitch to the final school it's about the passion from the fans it's the age of the super money kill you narrowness and spending to get to the twenty million and one player. it's an experience like nothing else not to because i want to share what i think what i know about the beautiful game played great so well paul chimes for. the base this morning. i. broadcast around the world from washington d.c. i'm. coming up to this point futures trading began on monday for chicago mercantile
