6:01 am
you're watching r.t. international coming to you live from moscow i'm kate partridge thank you for joining us. 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 but we expected it was the first time in six years america has used its veto power at the u.n. security council but the u.s. stood alone without the support of even its strongest allies. those in favor of the draft resolution please read. those against. four team in favor one vote against the status of jerusalem as the future capital of two states should be determined through a negotiated. and between the israelis and the palestinians and the dissolution
6:02 am
actions which purport to hold to the current term status of jerusalem have no legal effect any unilateral actions increase the risk averse. of restoring the new national rights of the palestinian people who good to go into seclusion can 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 jerusalem as israel's capital 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
6:03 am
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 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
6:04 am
decision to move their embassy and recognize jerusalem as israel's capital. however the u.s. did find some support israel's prime minister binyamin netanyahu was quick to praise the american veto. thank you but sort of i'm going to go you spoke like america you little totem of truth you disprove the darkness one defeated the many truth defeated lies thank you president roh. well analysts we spoke to you based in israel and palestine and surprisingly had contrast in the years a bunch the us bt 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'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
6:05 am
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 were too biased and less sensitive to the 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
6:06 am
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't move. for. a year on since the burden christmas market to sanction germany's justice minister admits the country's government wasn't sufficiently prepared for the consequences of such an atrocity auntie's peter oliver 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 at the season this year concrete blocks ringing the christmas markets intended to make sure that no one could repeat the atrocity.
6:07 am
not each is 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 on the list so i didn't know anything about shooting 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 really bad loser you are a power actually how you telling your son about what to tell you preparing him for me when he's all much older he will understand a lot more about this we're talking. of course this is not easy because he doesn't understand fully yet. this will change definitely he will ask questions so i try to
6:08 am
answer all his questions as best i can. so that's probably the only thing i can do for 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 to 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 services knew omri 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.
6:09 am
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 about is actually what happened before the the 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.
6:10 am
actually took the responsibility. it's still you know everybody is doing their own work still the time that's 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. and these are the live pictures from berlin now where a commemoration ceremony is being held for the victims of last year's christmas market attack chancellor angela merkel and survivors and relatives of those killed in the attack or taking part in the unveiling of a memorial. investigators

probing a fatal train crash in the u.s. have revealed it was traveling at eighty miles an hour in a thirty zone when the incident occurred the reason why it was speeding is still unknown the amtrak service was on its maiden journey 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. life
6:12 am
like you're doing something that is out of forty five degree angle. like shaking my car just started shaking like really really really badly trained to start. like. dark. like. myself. despite the rise of global extremism it appears terrorists guidelines and bone making instructions off still easily available online check in indigo 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 in english from both al qaeda and islamic state and within them you can find lessons on kidnappings or carrying out various types of
6:13 am
assassinations using explosives and the problem is and then we 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. i just feel like the base there. 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
6:14 am
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 internet for years already and google has made promises in the past to fight their availability. but committed to be boss of the solution when working with good month law enforcement and civil society groups to tackle the problem of the stream is the should be in 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 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 a new one so say for example you are
6:15 am
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 google which would be the search engine that it was found on but now you're looking at things like the website hosts so now these are other prize. companies not just google search engine but other private companies at you 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
6:16 am
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 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 well as he has almost googled seem to lead to such such results so that harmful and dangerous materials can't be found and we'll update you with any developments. we'll have more news out of the show break. join me every thursday on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics school business i'm showbusiness i'll see you then.
6:17 am

6:18 am
welcome back the u.k.'s international development secretary penny mordant has said saudi arabia has no excuse for cutting access to humanitarian aid in yemen it is ready 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 right to be a breach of international humanitarian law that would put that relationship into difficulty. in the last two weeks alone as strikes in yemen by the saudi led coalition have left one hundred fifteen civilians dead and eighty three injured now the u.k.'s promise to provide emergency aid to the country.
6:19 am
out of the mouth of the move has destroyed everything around even in the neighboring villages we can rely only on. people they see both bring. because one or two times is not enough even for the ten found many of them. were living happily herit on the side of the airstrikes began their hearts but no one helped us here i thought you see we had no the mattresses no milk of the children. and additional fifty million pounds in aid has been made available to yemen taking the u.k.'s total for both states as next year to two hundred five million but that
6:20 am
pales in contrast to the volume of u.k. arms sales to saudi arabia since the start of the conflict britain sold more than four billion pounds worth of weapons to riyadh. well sharia law from the stop the war coalition thinks the only way the u.k. can really help yemen is to stop selling weapons to saudi arabia one saudi arabia started its war in yemen in the first few months of the 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 the 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 or this this blockade has been discovered yesterday it's been going on for a long time and you know we've seen how the british government reacted to that i think if britain really want to help the people of yemen then they should stop
6:21 am
supporting saudi arabia stop selling their weapons stop giving them diplomatic cover. the local elections in catalonia this thursday could decide the fate of the region's independence bid madrid says the secession movement has been based on what it called truth well more details on this let's cross live now to r.t. shall if you. buy that also you say attention something that eased between madrid and catalonia then. yes absolutely just a few days to go before the elections on december twenty first and the spanish deputy prime minister has taken the opportunity to say. separatist leaders of catalonia she has branded them as. supporters when they call that independence referendum this year and she described that referendum as being a fake take a listen to what she said. that it had nearly actually got the worst betrayal has
6:22 am
been to catalyze who genuinely believed in independence because they were made to believe that it would come true when in reality it was all a big show a symbolic episode. sake in the full sense of the word. well as you may remember back on october twenty seventh the catalonian government the catalonia parliament declared that catalonia was an independent state and within an hour of that happening madrid took some very unprecedented steps and actually took control back over the region using a piece of legislation that had never been used before in the thirty years since it has been created now the deputy prime minister was saying to us to take control of the region to steer it tool to these elections on december twenty first now she has accused the cats of land the just the former leaders of that region of misusing public funds saying that they use public funds tools they goal of creating that independence referendum and she said by doing that there she neglected other areas
6:23 am
such as the judiciary health and education now the spanish prime minister as we know also called on october twenty seventh for these new fresh elections which will take place on foods they at the same time the local government in catalonia was dissolved some of the separatist leaders were arrested and several other warrants were issued for the former catalan president carlos proves you want to actually travels to brussels where he remains of aiding that european arrest warrant however he can still be campaigning for this election on thursday from his base now in brussels in belgium the reality is we don't know whether this election on thursday will play into the hands of the separatists again or will play back into the hands of the spanish prime minister it is a big gamble on this still could go either way date another event for we can catalonia to come on a day bensky thank you. four people including
