good evening to you. this is r.t. . a new day of rage has been declared by palestinians against donald trump's decision to recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel a wave of protest is already taking place in the city of bethlehem. i must demonstrations are also expected in the west bank city of ramallah where crowds already know violence has so far been reported tease me if i'm not sure how small. this is another day of rage here in the west bank city of ramallah the capital of palestinian authority there have been many days like this following the lead trumps controversial distillery mass the capital of israel. palestinians as

you know consider the eastern part of the holy sea to be their territory and of course they have been encouraged dramatically by the. announcement they have been violent protests all over the world among palestinians and those who sympathize with that and of course the palestinian youth also which we hear that there are hundreds of protesters participating in today's the brand again. now. this officer is talking to journalists saying that we have to have to move through these ideas is it dangerous to stay here ok thank you wouldn't. you can follow maria on twitter for her updates from ramallah. russia will remain banned from the upcoming winter paralympics in south korea the i.p.c. the us the international paralympic committee will make

a final decision on the russian team in late january just a month before the actual competition begins with more his ideas and the situation or here in london the international paralympic committee today has announced that they're maintaining the suspension of the russian paralympic committee and that they will indeed be announcing their final decision on the future of whether or not the parlin peons from russia are going to be able to compete in pyongyang in january this leaves the russian athletes really holding their breath until more or less the last minute to find out whether or not they're going to be able to participate in those games another part of this decision announced today has been that they're going to maintain a measure that was implemented earlier in september that in for sports russian athletes are going to be able to qualify in advance under a neutral flag which is quite important and those sports include cross-country skiing alpine skiing snowboarding and the buy off line it has been said that five

criteria are still not being met by russia for the russian parliament committee to be reinstated or this comes after the international olympic committee banned russia from participating at the twenty eight teen winter olympics over cleaner will be allowed to compete under a neutral flag as we heard the final decision against about russia's participation in the paralympics will be made in late january not long before the games actually begin for craig spence from the international paralympic committee doesn't believe that this will have a negative impact on team russia. but i think this decision you see the first effects that. if anything it gives them an opportunity for the russian paralympic committee to me to reinstate crisis here in time. you've got to understand that this is a situation that has been tossed upon us direction paralympic committee was just trying sixty. five criteria to meet the clock is ticking the ball here is

very much in the cost of the russian paralympic committee and the russian authorities. almost. our guys are being deprived of their dream but some have just one chance some might have another but they've been preparing for the game for them and they are life we go to many guys with disability support is the only thing they can do and this dream is being taken away. with it but it was just watching the put on those guys need strong support and with this huge pressure from the p.c. they're doing very well i'd like to avoid all those who have lived through that attitudes towards or training camps to see how they train and why they have excellent results this has nothing to do with. earlier daniel hawkins a dull and more sports host on radio capital f.m. joined my colleague kate partridge in the studio to discuss the decision of the i.p.c. well there were only three options really available to the p.c.

in this case which was lift about all together maintain status quo which is what's happened or perhaps go for a third option of allowing athletes of prove their claim to participate in the flag as the doing already but if you look at some of the statements that have come out from before president phillip craven for example i believe earlier this year is demanding that russia prove not only that their sport is clean but that their nation is clean we can actually take a listen to that now. about how the russians can. still they got the right policy but sure they are a clean nation never mind cleaned out they are to be a clean nation i mean you can take that to mean what you will but certainly questions are raised what exactly you mean xylem and some of you know the measures that russia have taken happen quite conference in fighting these allegations of doping in terms of a clean nation this could mean anything by we've got a very cheesy weather here in moscow at the moment so it could be that the roads are too reduced it makes no sense whatsoever and i think that mr craven he's been

well known to be not a fan of russia so you know if you like clean athletes come from a clean nation if you want sex and that kind of like your link of your just kind of a to sleep from. ten donation screen one thing i couldn't quite get my head around with this decision is kind of it's a lack of a decision it's a delay they've made a decision in the i.o.c. the i.o.c. say that ok we have a system here now that we think is what they say is a presumption of innocence therefore russians who can prove that they can take part in the olympics so one of the paralympics you know this is the greatest event for a minute these people's lives and we know in every society people who compete to schools and partly because they you know this is one way de can be included in society has made great strides and two weeks ago we had an olympics which basically was the biggest ever gathering of people. who are invalids in russia where they

came from all over russia to take part in your work work skills in sports as well you know it started in japan though in russia how it's it was the biggest ever gathering globally so russia's be huge strides to get this inclusive and for people with difficulties where to be educational physical and know to been told sorry you're not good enough final decision as you say. will be engendering that's just a few weeks before the actual event itself so that these athletes are neither here nor there do we train to be prepared to support it and we will go under a neutral flag or what's going to happen and it's affecting athletes really not only russians themselves because i think a lot about the leaks now as i don't rightly mentioned earlier there are uncertain of the burden of proof the level of evidence that's required to prove that one is clean. facebook has been accused of abusing its monopoly in germany and of inappropriate collection of user data artie's peter oliver

explains. well this all comes out of a statement from the wonderfully named federal cartel office there the main competition watchdog here in germany they've slammed facebook saying that its users have no idea and have given no consent for the levels of data from them which is being tainted by the social network and that is then being used to target adverts directly at them we mostly concerned about the collection of data outside facebook social network and the merging of this data into uses facebook accounts were not convinced the users have given their effect of consent to facebook's data tracking and merging of data into their facebook account well it also comes facebook's been accused of being overly intrusive after introducing new facial recognition software that can recognize a person's face even if they haven't been tagged in a picture it's worth noting this investigation is ongoing here in germany by the competition watchdog they say they are looking into how data is obtained but

they're more looking into the fact that facebook seems to sit by and what should observe our lives and interests and then gets information that way for facebook's part they say that the federal cartel office have misrepresented them by saying that they dominate the social media remit here in germany as far as facebook a concerned there are alternatives to them and if there wasn't alternatives only then would they be dominating it's put across what we are seeing and what we have seen already is sharing data with a third party here in germany is illegal and it's becoming more and more of an issue and more focus falling on social media outlets not just here in germany but across why the europe if we look over in france that's where what's up the messaging application is facing a fine from the french authorities after they shared their users data with facebook of course if we do remember facebook bought. bought out what's up back in twenty

fourteen what we won't expect from this report when it's published in full in the summer is a fine for facebook but what we're hearing from the main competition watchdog here in germany is they're going to tell facebook they need to change the way they go about doing things when it comes to their users personal data. social media giants are also in the spotlight in the u.k. that's where lawmakers have slammed their failure to crack down on hate speech one m.p. was particularly tough on a twitter official for not deleting an anti semitic tweet that week is still up on your platform why is it i don't know the answer to that question. what is it that we have to do to get you to take it down we are constantly looking at these policies looking at these processes i will take that away and i will come back to you with a definitive answer as to why it is still there social media giants have been

facing growing pressure to combat hateful and abusive behavior online in response twitter has recently introduced new policies that target accounts calling for violence but the platform has been accused of being selective for whom it decides to purge these jacqueline takes a closer look. the twitter purge the social network has launched its campaign to root out hate speech will require offending tweets to be removed and repeated violations will result in poem and suspension among the first to go offline the account of the far right u.k. political group britain first known for offensive anti muslim post as well as personal pages of its leaders paul golding and his deputy j. to franzen donald trump came under fire for retreating her anti muslim post last month so far terms page a still up and running the white supremacist magazine american renaissance and its editor were also booted off along with the american nazi party space age racist and discriminatory accounts like these surely have to be shut down but the problem is

so far the punishments don't seem to be being doled out with an even hand something clearly shown by the number of users who recently posted scores of death threats and promises of violence to the federal communications commission chief over his campaign to scrap net neutrality in the us this user employed both racist terms and call for violence but the account is still active another tweet laying out a desire to kill pie is still readily available and it goes on from there active account school or fine and inciting violence even his wife and children were named and attacked and the past pie himself is called twitter out as one of the problems with an open internet company usually goes when you can. give your mind service users because those things. this is the. this is playing right. now twitter has admitted it will make mistakes in the quest to make the platform a safer place but so far it's hate purge seems more than a little messy and on even the people at twitter just like other social media

platforms are under tremendous pressure because they just see themselves as sort of neutral players but in reality twitter is an active participant in the political process. on the side of the left hateful speech i just i just don't know where i don't even know where that begins and ends and it it seems like it's always up to someone else what what hate is just hate speech in and of itself the phrase itself is always used against conservatives it's never that you never hear about hate speech from the left the restrictions are always on conservatives never on liberals and so i don't i don't take any effort to sort of police twitter or facebook seriously as a fair exercise. let me put in a surge that russia's security service is to create

a safe barrier against foreign interference in the country society and politics his comments and ahead of next year's presidential election but if you suppose you'd know that it was really written there's a great responsibility on the intelligence services to put up a safe area against external middling you know social and political life and to counteract the work of foreign security agencies which and it's no secret are doing all they can to ramp up their activities in russia. ok our correspondent in the potomac joins me live now interesting comments think this through give some more context. good evening well a lot of our in that speech was talking to those who work in security and intelligence and this wednesday is their professional holiday in russia and in fact the russian security service today is marking a century of its existence so on this special occasion mr putin did something he

doesn't do that often the president directly accused foreign intelligence of interfering or meddling in russia's own affairs not that i rarely hear these words interfering meddling from others but here's mr putin it was just. as much when we've looked at this because it was you know. there was a great responsibility on the intelligence services to put up with. you know social and political life it's a counteract the work of the security agencies which it's no secret. to report their activities in russia. and it's not a secret that throughout the last couple of years or maybe a bit less than that whenever and wherever we heard about a major election or a referendum we kept hearing the news about investigations into russians allegedly trying to pull the strings but in this case vladimir putin is talking about

possible similar attempts against russia where the presidential campaign twenty thing has just kicked off sorry a few days ago and he trying to bring his right up to date many thanks. the e.u. is threatening to strip of member state of his voting rights this for the first time this would have happened all explain all after the break.

but politicians do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president i'm sure. some want to press. you to go right to be cross it's like a tree in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the water using the how. question. oakum back the nuclear option of being stripped of e.u. voting rights is hanging over poland that's up to brussels activated article seven

for the first time in its history it is with a heavy heart that we have decided to initiate seventy one. but the facts. leave us no choice. i stood before you in july when i clearly said. that we'd almost reached a situation where we would meet to evoke article seventy one situation since then it's not approved but deteriorated so we have no other option but to do this today . i accept this decision calmly it's about politics not the rule of law the law was triggered over warsaw's refusal to scrap authoritarian judicial reforms giving ruling conservatives more control over the courts poland's president just insisted they won't abandon those plans but the reforms are also under fire at home

with thousands flooding the streets of the capital in protest last week. and i was. the. little bit of them that but then president scheme. then you must. also claims that the e.u. made this politically motivated punishment for poland's refusal to take more muslim migrants as demanded by brussels get more on this story now from brussels based journalist they come he joins me on the line good evening like i mean that's the accusation isn't it coming from warsaw they say the that the e.u.

triggered a magickal seven as punishment because poland wouldn't take more migrants is that just an excuse or do think the something in it. there are several things of course the immigration issue is sort of real one misses shit was that form a promise to us that we don't have out of terrorism in poland full stop. to the european will to dispatch more migrants to every country in europe after the the acceptance of these markers by mrs merkel and the european commission so that's one of the points but there are all this of course that is the independence of the churches. which should be before us the president of the european commission threatened by the foremost the judiciary by the polish government while this is not true they changed the time and they changed somehow nomination of the supreme court and all the courts but it's just like in mr trump's medico is this

the trumpets elected he designates to the supreme court a judge which is on the right and if it had been mrs clinton she would if there is they needed a liberal judge judge from the left so this is very normal and the judge is free to judge the way he wants and the same enfolded that are all the points or so that it's this issue of the right of abortion that which of course the liberals die. but you know paul into the catholic country and the government now the conservative government and power is very close to the church and they want to restrict the right of abortion not to limit it somehow so it's another point of friction and then there is the media and that's that's very funny you for the journalist thinking that. you know europe where the press is often composed the only liberal journalist people on the left of the political spectrum. it's absolutely normal for me that tries to this is the head of the

of the national t.v. national broadcasting operations in poland that's very normal that nominated by the government and that the final say for all these nominations this is the polish parliament not the european commission composed of the elected you go to mr or miss the ten months and by the way this will lead to nothing except probably the demise of the present commission why because to get this to work to get this nuclear bomb to work and to strip poland of this voting right in the council of ministers and the european council the highest authority they need unanimity and never will hungary poland the czech republic slovakia also for example accept it so it's it's it's a zero from the beginning of only shot themselves in the foot mr tolman months and

that's the conclusion i don't like much appreciate your thoughts british brussels basic journalist many thanks. now the potential future of catalan independence will face a major milestone on thursday when regional elections are held it's not clear if any pro or anti independence parties will gain a majority the elections were called by the spanish prime minister in october twenty seventh that followed a declaration of independence by the catalan parliament the move prompted madrid to dissolve the region's government and impose direct rule under spanish law no polls can be published a week before voting day however that hasn't stopped one polling company from coming up with his own creative solution here yes.

greetings and salutation well auk watchers it appears that the congressional investigations into the alleged russian meddling of the twenty six thousand elections is now focused its great i have sorrow on one former green party two thousand and sixteen presidential candidate dr jill stein yes the washington post and others are now reporting that the senate intelligence committee is looking into dr stein's interactions with r.t. and her attendance of the now infamous r t tenth anniversary dinner back in two thousand and fifteen where she had the audacity the odd tax city to sit at a table and have a salad across from the notorious michael f l y n n and russian president vladimir putin i guess with the trump russia collusion train on an expensive taxpayer funded track to no where is will our outstanding leaders on capitol hill in their deep

state handlers have decided it's time to start tarnishing the reputations of people outside of the trump cobol first they went after the activists comedian next the third party political leader i wonder who they'll go after next maybe need maybe you. but while political time energy and effort continue to be wasted on neil mccarthyist witch hunts and to party grandstanding the very heart and soul of the united states is dying and i'm not just saying that for effect this country and all that it stands for is at critical mass philip alston the un special rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights is found that there is cause for international concern after conducting a cross country investigation into the state of poverty inequality and human rights within the united states of america and if that's not bad enough a county commissioner in chicago is now appealing to the united nations to possibly send in peacekeeping teams to help stem the rampant violence choking the poorest

parts of the city but hey you know i'm sure our elected officials in there neal mccarthy ben could and they're talking head cheerleaders will find some way to blame russia for it all and they will definitely more than likely positively make sure that i'm considered a traitor for telling you to keep on watching the hawks. this is. the part of. you that i got. three. weeks.
