for war welcome to you my name is neil harvey this is r.t. international. president trump has threatened to cut aid to un members who voted against the u.s. on the resolution condemning his acceptance of jerusalem as the capital of israel the general assembly will vote on the resolution on thursday after washington vetoed the security council vote this week but as a new day of rage has been declared my palestinian the new wave of protest is already taking place in the city of bethlehem. why. don't. you let. us demonstrations are also expected in the west bank city of ramallah where crowds are already marching no violence has been reported so far he's made national details.

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 decision to recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel palestinian says you know consider the eastern part of the holy city to be zero 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 here in palestinian authority we hear that there are hundreds of protesters participating in today's the band again. now. the officer is talking to journalists saying we have to have to move this ideas is it dangerous to stay here ok thank you i didn't. you can follow me

on twitter for her updates from ramallah. russia's security services to create a safe barrier against foreign interference in the country society and politics is comments come out of next year's presidential election has more. lot of our program in his speech was talking to those who work in intelligence and security this wednesday is a professional holiday for these people in russia in fact the russian security service is marking exactly one century of its existence so on this special occasion mr putin did something he doesn't often do the president there we wrecked we accused foreign intelligence in interfering or meddling in russia's own affairs not that i've rarely heard words interference or meddling from others but back to mr approach but as you know. there's

a great responsibility on the intelligence services to put up a barrier against external middling you know social and political life and to counteract the work of security agencies which and it's not a secret are doing all they can to ramp up their activities in russia it's no secret that throughout the last couple of years whenever and wherever there was an election or a major referendum eventually you'd hear some sort of news about investigations into alleged russian meddling or interference some sort of way of trying to pull the strings but in this case lattimer potent is talking about possible similar attempts and at russia where the presidential campaign just kicked off a couple of days ago. they spoke has been accused of abusing its monopoly in germany and of inappropriate collection of user data auntie's peter all of it has the details. well this all comes out of

a statement from the wonderfully named federal cartel office there the main competition watchdog here in germany they 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's social network and the merging of this data into uses facebook accounts we're 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 that 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 widely europe if we look over in france that's where what's up with the messaging application is facing a fine from the french authorities after they shared their users data with facebook and 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. where lawmakers have slammed their failure to crack down on hate speech on m.p. was particularly tough on the twitter official for not deleting it and the 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

to it has recently introduced new policies that target accounts calling for violence but the platform has been accused of being selective over whom it decides to purge parties has taken a closer look. the twitter purge the social network has launched its campaign to root out hate speech would 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 where a system 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 where you can. do your find serve it uses. both those. 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 hey 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 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. russia will remain bound from the upcoming winter paralympics in south korea the i.p.c.

the us the international paralympic committee will make a final decision on team russia in late january that's just a month before the competition begins there's more his us to see a chicken 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 and 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 events under neutral flag which is quite important and those sports include cross-country skiing alpine skiing snowboarding and the buy off lawn it has been said that five criteria are still not

being matched by russia for the russian parliament committee to be reinstated. this comes after the international olympic committee banned a russia from participating at the twenty eight thousand winter olympics however clean athletes will be allowed to compete under a neutral flag as we heard the final decision about russia's participation in the paralympics that will be made in late january not long before the games get underway craig spence from the i.p.c. doesn't believe this will have a negative impact on the russian team but i think this decision by you see the first effects that. if anything gives them an opportunity for the russian paralympic committee to me to reinstate crisis the entire picture you've got to understand this is a situation that has been thrust upon us the russian paralympic committee was just trying sixteen. fire and syria to meet the clock is ticking them off here is very much in the cost of the russian paralympic committee and the russian

authorities. most of. our guys are being deprived of their dream some have just one chance some might have another but they've been preparing for the games for them they are life go for many guys with disabilities sport is the only thing they can do and this dream is being taken away. but it was it was just watching the put it on the power goes need strong support to move this huge pressure from the p.c. and they're doing very well though i'd like to avoid all those who have little bit of attitudes towards them towards or training camps to see how they train and why they have excellent results this has nothing to do with don't you earlier artie's daniel hawkins and alan ball sports host on radio capital f.m. joined my colleague kate partridge in the studio to discuss the i.p.c. decision. well there were only three options really available to the r.p.c. in this case which was lift

a ban altogether maintain status quo which is what's happened or perhaps go for a third option of allowing athletes of prove their claim to participate under neutral 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 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 very cheerful weather here in moscow at the moment so it could be that the roads are dirty were just 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 discomfort to sleep from. ten to nation 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 it's 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 competes of course and partly because they you know this is one way de can be included in society as mates it's great strides and two weeks ago they had to be lympics which basically was the biggest ever gathering of people with. 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 or physical and no to being told sorry you're not good enough final decision as you say. will be in general not just a few weeks before the actual event itself so that these athletes on the other here know that to be trained to be prepared to supply it and we will go under a neutral flag oh what's going to happen and it's affecting athletes really not only russians themselves because i think a lot about the mix now brought much money there on certain now all of the burden of proof eleven evidence that's required to prove that one is clean. ok i will be back with more new stay with this short break coming up.

show seemed wrong why don't we all just don't call. me. yet to say proud to stay active. and engaged equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. what politicians do you should. put themselves on the line when they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president i'm sure. some want to be rich. but you'd like to be close it's like before three in the morning can't be good. i'm

interested in the water. yes sure. all come back the nuclear option of being stripped of e.u. voting rights is hanging over poland to brussels activated article seven for the first ever time in its history it is with a heavy heart that we have decided to initiate article seventy one. but the facts. leave us which. i stood before you in july. when i clearly said that we'd almost reached a situation where we would meet to talk article seven one situation since then it's not approved but deteriorate it 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 or the law was triggered over walsall refusal to scrap authoritarian judicial reforms giving really conservatives more control over the country's courts poland's president just insisted that they won't abandon those plans but the reforms are also under fire back at home with thousands of people flooding the streets of the capital in protest last week it. was. the. limit of what but when president scheme. but yes that. was. that. there was that the.

guy is from the institute of european studies told us that brussels won't win from picking such fights with members. the u.s goal is to impose its power and to show who is the boss in the room but the problem is that these states are already member states of the european union so the mechanisms of pressuring is not as powerful as it used to be plus the global political climate has significantly changed and it is very different comparing to the moment when these states were accepted. which is and also there is less belief in the this whole european idea. overall enormous states but especially in the eastern part of the e.u.

so this whole situation will only deepen the political crisis. ten times more civilians may have been killed by the u.s. led coalition in the liberation of mosul than has been previously reported this is according to new research carried out by associated press the news agency attained data from iraqi morgues as well as nongovernmental organizations it added up to eleven thousand civilians that may have been killed in the nine month operation with nearly a third of them dying from coalition air raids the coalition itself has acknowledged just four percent of a piece told. you .

if you speak now to mohammed karl who's the u.n. coordinator with the salaam for democracy and human rights. good evening to you mohammed the number ten times bigger we're talking about eleven thousand civilian deaths according to the a.p. is this number possible and how does that compare with what the u.n. says. while a good evening to you again and thank you can point me once again about the issue of mosul. and i want to be. prised. during the mosul operation the last report by the u.n. in a has addressed six thousand there were killed by. a terrorist group by isis let alone by the numbers by the coalition groups especially against civilians

because as you stand most of the terrorist groups who were hiding within the civilians houses. this is has caused the numbers to rise and that's why our concern with relation to mosul as one of the cities that has not been spoken about by the u.n. as much as a local we are concerned about why there's not such a transparent and independent investigation into how the mosul operation is it taking place. given what you said about the terrorists hiding in with civilians and the fact that the coalition recognize that a fraction of this number they say that the number of civilians they may have killed is just in the hundreds does that suggest that perhaps the coalition was was kind of was bombing and not really distinguishing between the civilians and the terrorists. definitely not doubt. the weapons are being used by the coalition especially by the u.s. army is does not discriminate between civilian or terrorist or by civilians or the

isis because they used. a number of weapons that does not. such a terrorist and this is a terrorist groups not an army where they clearly indicate the targets the weapon they were used by the us usually is used on a wide areas and also if you use if you look at the morsel of the city is very concerned very populated area it is not an open space where you can target easy tows so they were targeting houses they were targeting. small rooms that were to small neighborhoods and isis thought managed to use this as a bug a shield used as a shield so when you target isis your targets civilians this again the question is raised again why there's not as a thing. independent and instigation by the u.n.

to look into how the operation has been handled and more sort morsel is one of the cities that are under siege is all this has been under siege for months and months we don't have any n.g.o.s or any international news they can go in and count the bodies or count how the operation being taken place is being has been secretly handled the operation also the u.s. has also had the they banned number of a number of n.g.o.s to or to untar or journalists to enter a large number of channels try to enter a morsel but they could not enter water because was under the u.s. control so the number the u.s. mission hundred is not realistic the numbers house ways and more than thousands are being killed and morsel also bear in mind don't forget the number of civilian houses being. old trying to escape the morsel. snipes been snap shot by by by the isis groups so the numbers could be raised to more than ten thousand civilians

being killed over nine months. just exactly what is the humanitarian situation in mosul at the moment and to what extent of it all is the city recovering. this is the question that's a question neal we don't we don't have the exact. picture we don't have a clear picture we don't have how more so looks like at the moment we don't stand we don't know how morsel is we have not clear picture of this because we're not able to get a clear numbers of clear idea trust me an independent investigation into morsel we suggest as an n.g.o.s as a member and also as. as we as we cooperate with the u.n. this why don't we hold a special session on mosul like they did on other people like the did on syria for a number of times they repeated this number of a special session on syria why don't we have

a special session base to discuss morsel i mean even if mosul has been liberated why don't we have a special session by the u.n. to discuss after the operation and post more so liberation to discuss the hematoma situation the people in mosul they seek help especially in medical help schools water the senate and not you know a number of issues of the casualties number of destruction as a massive destruction a morsel that we need to repair we need to discuss this and we to know how can we help to rebuild the city but to now we can't because to now they say we're not able to enter morsel because juta security and you too to maybe some some. would you call it the isis has left by. arms or the area is not clear so we are waiting to understand how critical morsel city is how the military mission was

always so told then then we can discuss the post more so liberation just briefly what can you tell us about these violent clashes in kurdish populated parts of iraq between protesters and government forces several protestors have been killed why is it happening and what direction is this going in. this. this issue of. between the protesters kurdish populated area has been going on for a while because due to area control by the bush and by the by the iraqi army. the believe the kurdish army believe this is the area that belonged to kurdistan and this is should be under control of course this time and the army is a is a matter of political fight over the areas too to the kurdish areas the kurds believe this is belong to kurdistan and they are. this is sovereign

long to iraq. iraq as a country but. seriously that we have another time but i got the point here and so tara told dispute there much appreciated my guest mohammed u.n. coordinator with the for democracy and human rights group thank you. that wraps it up for this hour i'll see with more we'll be talking. to debate on the label see how. here's what people have been saying about rejecting the night we do i suspect it is full on. the only show i go out of my way to launch you know what does that really packs a punch oh yeah it is the john oliver of r t america is doing the same we are apparently better than nothing that i see people you've never heard of love went back to the night my president of the world bank so take. me seriously send us an

e-mail. to. cut.

this is boom bust.
