to keep in favor. or against the u.n. security council overwhelmingly backs a resolution calling to reverse donald trump's decision recognizing jerusalem as israel's capital but the move is vetoed by the u.s. . yemeni who see rebels fire a missile at the saudi royal palace in riyadh as casualties grow in yemen from saudi airstrikes while the u.k. forces fifty million pounds in aims to the war torn country. and on the first anniversary of the deadly christmas market attack in berlin germany's justice minister has admitted errors in their response to the attack party talks to people who lost their loved ones in the atrocity.

this is 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 bee told a draft resolution rejecting donald trump's decision to recognize jerusalem as israel's capital that we expected it was the first time in six years america's used its veto power at the u.n. security council but the u.s. acted alone without the support of even its strongest allies were those in favor of the draft resolution please read the hand. those against. the fourteen foods in favor one vote against the status of jerusalem as the future capital 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 the legitimate national rights of the palestinian people good to go to school isn't going to be contained 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 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 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 decision to move their embassy and recognized israel's capital however the u.s. did find some support outside the security council israel's prime minister binyamin netanyahu was quick to praise the american veto. thank you. i'm hungry you spoke like america you little totem of truth the school the darkness one defeated the many truth defeated lies thank you president roh. we spoke to analysts spaced in israel and palestine you have strongly contrasting views on the us. 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 with 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 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 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 forward. the saudi led coalition says it is shot down a ballistic missile targeting the royal palace in the capital riyadh this video apparently shows the moment of the attack the initiatives have kind of responsibility there are no reports of casualties or injuries and no official statement on the incident has been released. meanwhile as strikes by the saudi led coalition have killed one hundred fifteen civilians and injured eighty three in yemen in the last eleven days the u.n. says it is deeply concerned about the rise in civilian casualties in the country.

has destroyed everything around even in the neighboring villages we can rely only on point people and they see us bringing because one or two tankers is not enough even for the ten found many of them. were living happily herit on the side of the airstrikes began. but no one helped us here i got you see we heard now the mattresses no building of the children. meanwhile britain a top arms supplier to saudi arabia says ria does no excuse for cutting access to

humanitarian aid in yemen the statement came from the u.k.'s international development secretary penny mordant. it is wery 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 britain also plans to send fifty million pounds in aid to yemen putting the total u.k. help for this and next year at two hundred five million but that pales in comparison with 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. 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 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 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 have reacted to that 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. in the u.k. extra police and special armed units have been deployed during the festive period security has been especially increased at christmas markets as barriers to prevent possible car running or types being placed there well according to the authorities

there is no specific knowledge of any attack being planned the police are still warning people to be vigilant. well that comes a year after the attack on a christmas market in berlin where a memorial ceremony has been held to remember those who were killed relatives of the victims as well as survivors laid flowers lit candles at a memorial at the site of the attack chancellor angela merkel was also there she admitted the country could have handled the situation better. yesterday and spoke with the relatives of the victims and those injured in the attack it was an open conversation that showed what weaknesses our stage shows in this situation. germany's justice minister has also admitted errors were made in the response to the atrocity peter oliver looks back at last year's events and speaks to some of those who lost loved ones 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 ringing the christmas market intended to make sure that no one could repeat the atrocity. not each is model it 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 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 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. 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 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 the. west. us too painful to go to really 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 no 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. 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

first place what i'm really angry abroad is actually what happened before 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 what 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 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 a fatal train crash in the u.s.

have revealed it was traveling at eighty miles an hour in a search he's own when the incident occurred the reason why it was speeding is still unknown and the amtrak service was on its maiden journey when it d. wailed and plunged into a busy highway southwest of seattle. we conduct a triology of the incident we performed extrication using the jobs 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 suddenly hours out of forty five degree angle. like

shaking my car just started shaking like really really really badly trained to start to. see my side. dark. to see myself along. the face of catalonia as independents but it could be decided this thursday why that will be the case has revealed off the pike.

what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or somehow want to be. that's a going to be for us this is what the local variable can't be good. interested always in the waters about how. this should. be.

welcome back donald trump has outlined his view of the world and america's role in it in a national security speech and like his predecessors he is not letting go of the idea of u.s. exceptionalism 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. well in a statement to the u.s. defense secretary batch the president's security plan james mattis said to the new strategy will ensure american diplomats always speak from a position of strength well in his speech trump outlined russia and china as rival powers challenging america's influence in the world well the two countries are also accused of developing advanced weapons that could threaten u.s. infrastructure however trant does say attempts must be made to build partnership

with them beijing has branded washington's approach is outdated. we urge the u.s. to stop deliberately distorting china and spirit are dated ideas such as a cold war mentality and coalition game otherwise they will hurt others and destroy itself or political science professor joseph chang thinks it's in america's interest have competition. the time these leadership responds in saying that you would like to. major power relationship with the united states meaning no major confrontation no major. challenges and so on the united states needs. to put it more nicely strategically competitors. need for the united states to remain alert to and to be able to muster enough resolve to me. i think china and

russia understand this and there's also well recognized by many americans. despite the reliance of global extremism it appears terrorists guidelines and bomb making instructions are still easily available online check any info that has been surfing for such material in 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 new york subway attack included home or components of this 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 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 our. sound explosion 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 internet for years already and google has made promises in the past to fight their availability. but committed to be boss of the solution while working with go month

law enforcement and civil society groups to tackle the problem of stream is the ship 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 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 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 private companies not just

google search engine but other private companies that have to now look at who is studying 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 it 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 so. space 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 at cyberspace flies underneath the radar screen of the police and in 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

a free and open internet to remove all elements of hate and extremism in the meantime he has also google to delete such search results so dangerous materials come be fun and we'll let you know the outcome. local elections in catalonia this thursday could decide the fate of the region's independence period madrid says the secession movement has been based on what it calls a post truth party shell it has more just a few days to go now before the elections on thursday december twenty first and the spanish deputy prime minister has taken the opportunity to slam the oh my separatist leaders of catalonia she has branded them as betraying their supporters when they call that independence referendum earlier this year and she described that referendum as being a fake as led by the scenarios he got the worst betrayal has 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 a fake in the full sense of the word attack on october twenty seventh the catalonian government the catalonia parliament declared that catalonia was an independent state within an hour of that happening madrid took some very unprecedented steps and actually took control back of 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 then asked to take control of the region to spirituals these elections on december twenty first now she has accused the cat's of land leaders the former leaders of that region of misusing public funds saying that they use public funds to which they goal of creating that independence referendum and she said by doing that they actually neglected other areas such as the judiciary health and education now the spanish prime minister as

we know also called back on october twenty seventh these new fresh elections which will take place on food stay 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 call this proves you want to actually travels to brussels where he remains that european arrest warrant however he can still be campaigning for this election 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 and they still could go either way. the pentagon has confirmed it spent millions of dollars trying to identify ever born objects that reportedly file eighty u.s. airspace the five year u.f.o. probe is said to have been counseled only in twenty twelve while the news provoked

excitement as this was rare confirmation of an official u.f.o. hunting program but its results are still pacified.
