great to have you with us this evening my name is neil harvey ten pm here in moscow this is r.t. international. president donald trump or threaten to cut aid to un members who vote for a resolution that condemns the u.s. decision recognizing jerusalem as the capital of israel. they take hundreds of millions of dollars and even billions of dollars and then they vote against us while we're watching those votes let a vote against us will save a lot. let's get more on the story now from our correspondent kelly morgan joins us from new york what's been happening there and or stolen from but to this start. well we hear these words from u.s. president donald trump essentially threatening to cut aid to countries that vote for the upcoming u.n. general assembly resolution now will recall recently how there was

a vote at the united nations security council regarding this issue there was a resolution presented by egypt that would have essentially rendered the u.s. decision to recognize jerusalem as israel's capital and move its embassy to jerusalem it would have essentially rendered it no and void well that resolution was voted for fourteen to one with every other country represented at the u.n. security council voting for it but the usa voting against it and the usa being a permanent member it was then at that point it was vetoed it was defeated because a permanent member does have the ability to overrule any resolution so let's take a kind of a review of what went on at the u.n. security council when there was a fourteen to one vote. of jerusalem as the future. should be determined through a negotiated settlement between the israelis and the palestinians and the decision and actions which purport to alter the car and status of jerusalem have no legal

effect any unilateral actions increase the risk of. we support the just cause of restoring that you from a national right of the palestinian people. now at this point there seems to be so much outrage in response to trump's decision regarding jerusalem that at this point it's being taken beyond the u.n. security council to the united nations general assembly which is planning to have a vote now it's important to note that this decision which will be voted on by the u.n. general assembly that every member state that that decision will not be binding however at this point we've seen nikki haley who is the u.s. ambassador to the united nations get on twitter and warn that she is taking names of countries that vote for this resolution now furthermore there is a letter that has surfaced that's purported to be a letter from nikki haley to various u.n. member states it's the authenticity is not yet confirmed but it seems to this

letter that is it has been surface circling talks about how donald trump appears to be taking personally anyone who votes for this resolution in the u.n. general assembly so as this unpopular decision was taken by the united states the usa recognizing jerusalem as israel's capital sparking protests and anger around the world and opposition in the international arena it seems that as a vote is pending in the u.n. general assembly it's almost as if some effort to intimidate or threaten member states that would vote for a resolution condemning the united states is being taken it seems like pressure is being put on countries in the hopes that this will keep them from voting for this resolution criticize that in the move by the united states so all eyes are on the u.n. general assembly and we will see how these statements from u.s. leaders this talk about taking names this letter which is not yet confirmed we'll

see how this affects the upcoming vote at the u.n. headquarters here in new york troubles he continues to be. bringing is that today thank you. meanwhile turkey is accusing the u.s. and other countries ahead of the vote on thursday a very damning statement on jerusalem adding washington should change its course though the news you know on the. as a new day of rage has been declared by palestinians and a fresh wave of protests the city of bethlehem. if. you look. them astray sions are also expected in the west bank city of ramallah where crowds

are already marching no violence is being reported as yet. if national has more. 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 entrance controversial decision to recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel palestinians as you know consider the eastern part of the holy city to be the territory and of course the have been encouraged dramatically by. announcements 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 event and again. now. the officer is talking to journalists saying that we have to have to move it is ideas is it dangerous to stay here ok thank you. and you can follow me

on twitter for dates from ramallah. ten times more civilians may have been killed by the u.s. led coalition in the liberation of mosul than previously reported that's according to new research conducted by the associated press news agency obtained data from iraqi morgues as well as from non-governmental organizations it added up to eleven thousand civilians being killed in the nine month operation with nearly a third of them dying from coalition air raids the coalition itself has acknowledged just. percent of a.p.'s number.

we spoke to mohammed said of col he's the u.n. coordinator with the salaam for democracy and human rights group and he warns high civilian casualties are inevitable as the coalition made indiscriminate use of weapons in densely populated civilian areas. the last reports by the un in a has addressed six thousand they 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 them are terrorist groups who were hiding within the civilians houses or to consider. not doubt. their 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 use. the number of weapons but there's not. such a terrorist as you stand this is a terrorist groups not an army where they clearly indicated the targets of 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 as a city is very concerned very populated area is not an open space where you can target easy terrorist groups so they were targeting houses they were targeting. small rooms that were taken small neighborhoods again the question is raised again why there's not sort of thing. independence and instigation by the u.n. to look into how the operation has been handled. the. russia security services to create a safe barrier against foreign interference in the country society and politics

because it's come ahead of next year's presidential election. as the details lattimer progun in his speech was talking to those who work in intelligence and security this wednesday is a professional hard for these people in russia in fact the russian security search . this is marking exactly one century of its existence so on this special occasion mr putin did something he doesn't affan the president directly accused foreign intelligence of 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 because. there is a great responsibility on the intelligence services to put up a barrier against external meddling in our 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 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 putin is talking about possible similar attempts and at russia where the presidential campaign just kicked off a couple of days ago. facebook has been accused of abusing its monopoly in germany hand of inappropriate collection of uses 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 ads that directly of them were mostly concerned about the collection of data outside facebook's social network and the merging of this data into uses facebook accounts were not convinced that use this have given their effect. consent to facebook's data tracking and merging of data into their facebook account well it also comes as 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 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. russia will remain banned from the of coming winter olympics in south korea winter paralympics i should say in south korea the i.p.c. that the international paralympic committee will make a final decision on team russia in late january that's just a month before the competition gets underway with details is and the situation. here in london the international paralympic committee today has announced that they are 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 events under 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. now this comes after the international olympic committee banned russia from taking part at the two thousand and eighteen 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 and that's not long before the games begin with 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 by their you see first of. all if anything gives them an opportunity for the regime or in the committee to

me to reinstate crisis the entire picture if you've got some stuff this is a situation that has been forced upon us the russian paralympic committee was suspended in august and sixteen twelve months on we're still firing to you to meet the clock is ticking the ball here is very much and because of the russian parliament you can receive from 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 a life goal for many guys with disability sport is the only thing they can do and this dream is being taken away. with it but it was always just watching the bit on the power goes need strong support to move this huge pressure from the p.c. 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 on in your hawkins and alan moore who's a sports host on radio capital f.m. join my colleague kate partridge in 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 and then you'd feel flagged 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 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 comparable 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 destroyed 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 to see extend our kind of like you know link of your discomfort to sleep from one factor of. ten to nation screen one thing i couldn't quite get my head around with this decision is kind of it's the 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 completes

this course and partly because. this is one we can be included in society has made his great strides and two weeks ago they had to switch 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 know 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 whether it be education or physical i know have been told sorry you're not good enough final decision as you say. will be in general you know that's just a few weeks before the actual event itself so that the that fleets are neither here nor there to be trained 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 on certain of the

burden of proof the level of evidence that's required to prove that one is clean. currency bitcoin aside a rollercoaster ride over the last week hitting a record twenty thousand dollars because the weekend before sliding back to under seventeen thousand on tuesday to discuss big oil let's bring in a couple of expert guests and two of our peter schiff is the c.e.o. and chief global strategist of euro pacific capital inc and also by nick spamhaus is the co-founder of the zap project that works to solve one of the biggest challenges in the block chain industry welcome to you both gentlemen if i may come to you first peter i know that you are not from previous in division not a big fan of big coal and we've seen the roller coaster ride continue when do you think if you think this is a bubble when's it going to burst. well i wish i knew that but i am sure that it is either although in fact is probably the biggest bubble i've ever

seen in my career as an investor and i've seen quite a few bubbles and i'm familiar with the psychology that surrounds them and you know big point has all of the characteristics of a bubble in fact it's not just bit quiet it's the entire cryptocurrency space i think it's a massive speculative bubble and maybe we've seen the top and maybe we haven't i don't know but i think when the top is in i think this thing is going to come crashing down it's not just going to go down slowly you know there's an expression that markets take the stairs up in the elevator down well you know because it took a rocket ship up and it's going to come down even faster. i mean it's expansion of the curve at the moment the increase in the value and i thought this was an interesting point i heard recently people you know chatting away on social media in russia saying oh you know we really should have got on board with bitcoin and of heard stories of people in the us in their houses to invest in it isn't that the point they say when it's stocks and shares that you know you do want to get out.

yes for me yeah. i'm sorry about that. i had some static on this thing so it's ok i'm just saying that it's nice to put beginners not people would think it is not a bubble. well but to answer the first question because it is not a bubble because it actually is the pin it's the pin that's popping the legacy financial systems bubble. over a printing of money. over valuation of stocks of it's of bitcoin is a technology people don't seem to understand and once they do understand they come on boards of technology and it's a revolution just like the. industrial revolution change the world you know this is information calculation computation communication crypto economic revolution that's changing the world right now and if you don't understand what it is it takes a little while to learn about it but once you realize what bitcoin is you're going

to realize that you're at the ground floor i mean was the train a bubble i mean there have been probably and when the trains were invented but some people stayed blacksmiths like some people staying goldsmiths but some people staying blacksmiths and you know the train going to passer by and then other people became carnegie's and rockefeller's and. let's go to pizza pizza in the manger according that but according to nick people are getting it at the ground level i mean that the beauty of it the supporters say stay centralized everything that banks you know that know the banks can come in just take your money away and it's big colin and it's the. first of all nobody buying in today is getting it at the ground floor i mean if anything you're going to be left holding the bag but big point is not a technology the technology is the block chain and we can have an argument about you know how relevant the block chain is and how important it may or may not be but be quite is nothing it's simply

a digital token that utilizes to block change so when you buy into bitcoin you don't own anything except. that one big point you don't have any ownership of any kind of railroad you've got one car and that car is going to be obsolete i agree that we have overvaluation we have a problem and feel currents we have problems but if it is we have a problem currencies but you know you mentioned overprinting we have lots of digital currencies there's thirteen hodder of there's massive inflation of digital currencies and even big quite itself has spun off equine cash big gold there's no limit to the supply of big branded worthless tokens that can be created what you make of that point i think is a fair one naked i mean when the full months when you listen to different currencies and as i get ahead of this i mean that what he said was big coin is nothing he's trying to say that because nothing but as a reward system right for holding up the block train without without bitcoin that

without big coins blocks a brick with blocks it is a large block chain that ever it's the largest for the first one out and has the most participants as millions of mining machines handling all the transactions and all the information and calculations that are happening on this block chain so when you're a minor new and you participate in the clearing all this information you get a piece a little slice of a big point of being part of a pool to get a slice of bitcoin and that's the reward system so yes big corn. is a technology and the miners get rewarded in big coin for the basic or it's a patient and there are other currencies you. know the vid coin itself is not to take knology could be the reward but you don't need big to have a block chain there are all these other cryptocurrency is that have block chains and they don't use big corn and you can use block change for anything i mean well the airlines are as i watch every firewall a clock is the one that. nick what about the final bit of consensus the logic will

have changes the only way that large of the largest blocks of the. the one that matters the one that does the most now does it the most people that i love is the one that's most trustworthy you know the small if you have a block in your pocket and not have all but a sense of model algorithm work meaning you don't have any minors and you don't have any consensus that doesn't mean a thing is just a really really slow data but what and that's what it is but what is it what is the value what is the inherent value of a bit coy what it what can you do with the big client to make it worth seventeen thousand dollars if i have one big point what can i use it for what can i do with it where i derive seventeen thousand dollars worth of value. well you seem to misunderstand a lot of people doing the people who don't understand actually buy it the reality is because of the technology to toe shoes there's a hundred million sit toshiba's per no it's not a kit so what does what did i do with the big point there's

a one hundred ninety six analogies you could buy anything as a matter of fact i could buy gold at a discount i got a pack full dot com and i go buy gold at this guy go buy gold a sixty percent off with recording now you have to sell the big one you have to sell your bible and if you give her a credit card all you know how to sell the big oil you boiled called peach i just want to get back to a question of trying to ask you know people are piling in today's announcement on credit or invented the unknown a hold the what people say come on even a first in legal sign just how dangerous the situation we're now dangerous is that you know what people all remote getting and spending savings on big. look it is very dangerous that he has walked it is terry you think they're going to get rich quick. go ahead pizza yeah and look unfortunately the people people who got in years ago or even people i got in at the beginning of the year yes they have the opportunity to cash out and make a lot of money but people who are buying into this thing at these prices are higher

prices are going to lose bracingly everything i mean these currencies are going to trade to zero or pretty close to it once this bubble pops because right now the only reason that people are buying big coin is because the prices going up and what it turns around then they're going to be selling it for the same reason there is no value in the big quite you can't use it as money it's too slow it's too expensive and too volatile so it's not to be the exchange it's not a store of value because there's no value to store it is a it is a pure speculative digital asset that as soon as it stops going up it's going to implode nic i just want to look into the future because the price obviously keeps increasing but you know everything these days is based on this block chain everyone thinks he said it's the new miracle what about when quantum computing comes along in a few years it is anticipated well not read into the block actually very vulnerable well there's a lot of. fixes for that already written and we would have

a fork and implement the fork that would take care of them out into the course before he said you can't buy anything with bitcoin that i mean that's not true you could buy anything you buy today you could buy would because you buy it at a discount and you could buy credit on amazon have this right out of the first the coupons people have there you go to the site and you plug it in and they give you the know that everything you buy all your big point you have to sell of bitcoin. no you can't they don't have any money don't have unions that we. could buy this for i have never been on the sun oh my god where you use that but you know i'm peter yes you're selling your body of law out there and you're saying burning it all are going to sell your goal of the guys something to no one's taking your gold nor is hanging around with a gold test kit taking your gold not just what i mean all of you want to apologize to but also recall that if you only know a good twenty third alan it's the result but i do apologize we are about to run out

of time many thanks to my guest peter schiff chief exec of euro pacific capital an expanded co-founder of the sap project thank you guys it's ok i've been doing something interesting from that lots of passion in that i'll see you with more in half an hour. i'm not sure times here we're going underground as you have president ronald trump is today should be able to give his last press conference of the year mud in russian conspiracy allegations to destroy the usa of course.
